V THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, 31 AT 6, 1910. SKIN OF DEAD MAN IS WORRY TO GOHL Dramatic Features Incident to Trial of Murder Case at Montesano. ACCUSED SEES BLOOD; PALE Iart of U&dy of Had berg and Mud Smeared Clothing Introduced as Evidence Many Witnesses on Stand State Busy. MONTESANO, Wash., May a Two dramatic features presented themselves during- today's session of the Gohl mur der trial. One occurred -when, during the state's Introduction of witnesses to prove the Identity of the corpse alleged to be Charles Hadberg1, alleged victim of Gohl, a preserved slice of flesh and skin, cut from the left arm of the dead man, was brought Into court to show the tattoo marks shaped to represent a rose pierced by a dagger and with the initials "H. H." beneath. The initials are claimed to stand for "Henry Hadbcrg," the correct surname of the murdered man. ;oIiI J a Kascinated. The other incident followed soon after tv hen the clothing from the dead body, together with the big anchor, which weighed the corpse down, were intro duced. The bloody, mud-smeared cloth ing was spread upon the floor close be side the chair of Gohl. The accused man whitened to the edges of his collar. Without moving a muscle he gazed, as though fascinated, as one article after-an-other was brought to light and spread for inspection. Pinally, he heaved a long sigh and pazed as though appealingly at the court; but time after time, as though his gaze was drawn by a magnet, his eyes re turned to the accusing bundle of rags on the floor. Seven witnesses were called by the State during the afternoon session, as follows: Dr. Paul Smith, Coroner; S. A. Randolph, undertaker who cared for the body; Dr. George E. Chamberlain, present at the autopsy; George Dean. Chief of police, Aberdeen; Colin Mc Kenzie, photographer; K. V. Church, city detective, Aberdeen ; Ira Smith, owner of the launch which took the officials to th scene the da;- the body was found. State Would Prove Identity. Attempts of the State during the morning session were confined to prov ing the Identification of the body as that of Charles Had berg, while the cross-examination by the defense seemed to be to refute this testimony and impeach the identification. Prosecutor Campbell stated tonight that there probably would be at least 30 more witnesses for the State. The testimony of Billy Montyee and John Klingenberff. expected to be the most sensational for the State, is yet to come. The defense says it will in troduce but five or six witnesses.

UGLY MAN IS TABOOED rat'LE SAM ISSUES NEW RULES FOR ARMY RECRUITS. Wur Department Says Soldiers of Future Must Be Comely and Symmetrical In Development. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, May 6. (Special.) Ugliness in extreme degree is cause for rejection of applicants for enlistment in the United iStates Army, according to the new rules issued by the War Department. It matters nof whether the uncomeliness is a result of atrophy of part of the face or of a lack of symmetrical development. A man may be bow-legged and still be accepted for service if the deformity is not particularly noticeable when he is dressed. Ingrown toenails, bad and painful bunions, hammer toes, flat foot, corns on the sole of the foot, when tender, are causes for rejecting the would-be soldier, even though he may be desirable in other ways. A soldier Is only as good as his feet and he must be able to travel in long marches. Men whose feet are habit ually sodden, with blistered skin, are not accepted and a soldier whose feet give off an unpleasant odor will not be tolerated. Web-Toed Man Tabooed. If a man haa all of his toes webbed he will make a poor soldier for Uncle Sam and will not be accepted in times of peace. Entire loss of any finger, except the small one, on either hand, is disqualifying, as is also the loss of either ear. When a would-be soldier is knocked kneed so as to be unable to take the position of a fighting man, and when his gait is clumsy or ungainly, he will not he accepted. Uncle Sam is looking for handsome men. well-built physically and presenting a general good appearance. The various parts of the body should be well pro portioned, the head symmetrical. the chest developed and well formed, the abdomen lank, and the limbs shapely with well developed muscles. The carriage should be erect and sprightly without any lack of control. The expression of the face should indicate physical and mental health and vigor, and there should be no repulsive deformity. The manner should be cheerful and alert, and the skin should be free from eruptions and clean. A fat man will not be accepted for service if he is so heavy that he cannot march well. Baldness, Too, "ot Tolerated. Permanent baldness ia also a defect that Uncle Sam will not tolerate when hiring his fighting men. A man who stammers will never be come a soldier when men are plentiful, if the impediment in the speech is pro nounced. However, a man who is color-blind is considered a good fighter If he Is not in that branch of the service where color blindness is prohibited, such as in the signal service. Son of Milwaukee's Mayor Charges Spouse Told Falsehoods on Stand When She Sought Damages ! From Father and 'Mother. OREGON" CITY. Or., May 5. (Special.)
