6 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOMAN, THURSDAY, MAT 5, 1910. JURY CHOSEN TO HEAR GOHL CASE Men Selected With Less Diffi culty Than Was at First Expected. CALM DESERTS DEFENDANT ireat Precautions Being Taken 1 Xrevent Jurors Having Any Con tact With Outside World Dup ing Progress of. Trial. MONTESAKO, Wash.. May 4. Late to o!ay & Jury -was secured to try "William Gohl, charged with the murder of Charles (Herman) Hadberg. at Aberdeen, Wash., on or about December 23, 1909. The selection of the 12 jurymen was ac complished with considerably le.s diffi culty than was anticipated, and from statements made by counsel in the case, the trial should not require much over a. week to dispose of. The men who will try Gohl are: O. C. Moak. dentist, Montesano. William Isaac, millworker, Blma. J. E. Winston, engineer, Oakville. W. T. Xeeley. rancher, Oakville. H. TV. Smlthson, logger, Hoquaim. G. W. Wood, farmer, Satsop. L. O. Stewart, farmer, Oakville. Edward Hackett. logger. Summit. J. N. Simpson, farmer, Elma. O. L. Murray, farmer, Elma. J. H. Foster, farmer, Montesano. W. L. Byng, city employe, Aberdeen. Challenges Exhausted. In securing the jury, the defense ex hausted all of its 12 peremptory chal lenges and the prosecution exercised all but one of its peremptories. As soon as the Jury was sworn In, tt was given Into the charge of four bailiffs, who were instructed to take every pre caution to prevent any communication between the members and persons out side. In order further to make certain there shall be no clandestine Intercourse with the Jurymen, a dwelling has been rented In which the jury will be confined while not in attendance at the trial. Their meals will be taken in the dining-room of & local hotel, a portion of which has been partitioned off for their use. State Will Begin. Tomorrow morning, the state will make lis opening statement. A similar state ment presenting the contentions of the defendant will follow, . after which the Introduction of evidence will begin. The first evidence to be introduced by the state will seek to prove the death of Hadberg and the identification as Had berg's of the corpse recovered February 3, last, from the mud flats at the mouth of Indian Creek. . The strain occasioned, perhaps, by the monotony of the selection of the Jury, is apparently beginning to tell on Gohl. Monday and practically all day yester day the defendant maintained a cheer ful demeanor. Today. however, Gohl appeared to be worried. Mrs. Gohl, the prisoner's wife, oc cupies a seat near her husband, at all the sessions of the court. As was the case the first two days, crowds filled the courtroom, and there Is very Indication that when the taking t testimony begins, standing room will le at a premium. TAX COMMISSION ON TOUR Segregation of Properties to Be Principal Topic Discussed. SALEM, Or., May 4. Tax Commission ers Galloway and Eaton left today for the interior of the state for the purpose of meeting the different county assessors. The law provides that the State Tax Com mission shall visit each county in the Ftate e.t leawt once a year and give forth any information desired by the respective assessors. The main subject to be dis cussed by the commission upon this trip will be the segregating of the properties to be assessed by the counties and that to come under the commission's super vision. - The late tax la.w takes the assessment of railroads and telegraph and telephone lines in regular operation out of the hands of the County Assessors and leaves the assessment of such corporation utili ties and holdings to the State Tax Com mission. In several of the counties, this law has been misconstrued by the as 6essors in that a certain number of rail road, telegraph and telephone lines have been overlooked by the local assessor with the understanding the commission would make the necessary assessment. The corporation holdings thus omitted consist of loggtns railways, temporary telf-plione and telegraph lines and several portable saw mills. This matter will be taken up with the assessors thoroughly this wek and It Is probable instructions will be mailed out within a short time relative to the corporation utility assess ments.

The unique defense is set up that one saloon stoou upon a mining claim lo cated under the laws which provide for the segregation of all mineral lands from the forest reserve, and was under the Jurisdiction oi tne state laws.
