Judge Morrow ruled that the arguments must not consume more than six hours, or one and a half hours for each attorney. Mr. Collier emphaslxed the responal Talllty of the Jurors to do their duty. Webb sat unmoved during the vivid description of the murder, which was declared to be "the foulest and most horrible ever perpetrated under cover of darkneaa In Portland." "it was a crime, a murder for love, love fur money and a woman not re venge. declared the state's attorney Then he spoke at length of the ac quaintanceship formed between John son and the Kerah woman in Spokane, and the manner adopted by the wom an and Webb to ensnare their rlctim and secure the 11 o. "This woman hoped to reform John son, ahe was very solicitous for him, but she waa at the aame time carrying on a flirtation with her paramour and bojom-frtend. Webb. said Mr. Collier. "Before ahe left Spokane she muat bare told Webb Johnson had paid her the money, for a woman so Intimate would not let a secret like that rest without telling." Conductor's Trtimonv Important.

It being ar gued t'.at the conductor was disinter ested. "There Is no direct evidence that Carrie? Kerah and Webb met at the depot in Spokane and ha told her he would be In the Pullman, but there Is your own Judgment, aald Mr. Col lier. "When Mrs. Kerah met Webb on the train waa ahe surprised to see him? fche was sucn a boaom friend of Webb he would naturally express a little surprise at seeing him. It she didn't know he was going to Portland. But no, sha acted as though ha were a total stranger. Can you coma to any other conclusion than that If the opportunity Had offered. Johnson wousd nave mya tsrloualy fallen off the rear of that observation car Mrs. Kersh said Johnson had a bot tle and he offered it to Webb. Webb aays he had the bottle and Johnson wanted to buy a drink, but It being Sunday he could get none on the train, so he let Johnson have a drink from bis bottle. Journey Detailed Again. "When, they left the train Johnson almost pulled tbem into the Grand Central bus But at the hotel. Webb didn't rare to butt In and go to break fast with them. They could go to their own breakfast and he would go to his. People traveling don't , do like that.

In an other part he said Johnson was ao attainted with the rlty and asked him to take It in. Webb said he came to Portland to find a Job. Waa he going to find a Job op there, or hanging around the hotel with this woman? "Webb thought someone was fol lowing them. Why waa he afraid la the light of day?

"If you bring in any other verdict, you sav he acted In self-defense." ar gued Mr. Collier. "And if It is for a lesser degree of homicide, you attempt to punish him for It- You must either blow hot or cold." It was pointed out that the blows on Johnson's head were evenly struck, one on one side and one on the other, as though they were not made in a scuffle. Miss Webb, who waa sitting with her mother beside and to the rear of Webb, was apparently on the verge of breaking Into tears at one stage of the argument, but restrained herself. . The last of Mra Kerah's teatlmony in the Webb case waa given .in the morning. She aald she went to the roadhonse with Webb because he was angry and drunk. "Were you intoxicated when you ar rived in town after the ride"' "X wasn't intoxicated." said the witness, "but I had been drinking The other woman was drunk." Webb's Wife Takes Stand. Attorney Fouts began the redirect examination of Mrs. Kersh at 11:S0 o'clock. It lasted only five minutes. He then endeavored to read (into the record, and before the Jury an account in The Oregonlan of the Charlton trunk murder case In Italy. This was not permitted by the court, as Mr. Fitz gerald admitted that such an account was printed between June It and 1$. Mra Caroline Webb, the prisoner's wire, and Mlaa Verna Webb, his pretty 17-year-old, daughter, were then called. They were asked whether they knew his reputstion. Mra Webb said he was an "ordlnar liy peaceable . character. I never heard of any trouble," she said. Miss Webb said he had always been kind to them, and that everyone In Seattle thinks well of him. She wss asked by Mr. Fitzgerald whether he had sup ported her snd her mother in the last year, and the queatlon was objected to by Attorney Fouts and withdrawn. .

COL HIGH LIS Jefferson Goes Down to Defeat by 5-to-0 Score. BIG CROWD SEES CONTEST New Football Cleverly Manipulated by Two High School Teams In. Second Game of Season Be tween TeamsQuintet Stars. Playing the new football consistently and springing a variety of new lorma tions, Lincoln High School defeated Jef ferson High School yesterday afternoon on the baseball grounds by the score of 6 to a The game was the second or the season between these two teams and the cores In each game were the same. Lincoln's victory was the first one scored in a league contest for two years. One of the largest crowds of the season was out to see the game. Lincoln Shows Improvement Lincoln introduced a number of new plays and ehowed much improved form over the game put up against Washing ton High School last week. Mnny times the Lincoln backa would rip tnrough the Jefferson line for big gains. Patterson. who scored the touchdown, was the best ground-gainer. The first few minutes of play was the beat of the game. Toward the latter part the play lagged. Both teams were guilty of delsylng the game and much time waa lost bv measuring yardage. Jefferson kicked off and after making yardage once or twice Lincoln lost the ball and Jefferson msde a desperate but futile effort to score. On the first play Jefferson made Cole circle Lincoln's left end for a run of about 30 yards. Morgan and Campion then alternated with Cole at carrying the ball and they took it from the center- of the field to Lincoln's five-yard line, only to lose it on downs. Lincoln gave a fine exhibition of holding In the line at this point After a reat between quarters play waa resumed and Lincoln, with the ball, marched up to Jefferaon's la-yard line and loet It on downs again. Jefferson gained twice and then tried to kick, but a Lincoln man blocked the ball and fell on it- From there a series of line bucks soon placed the ball leas than a yard from the boal and Patterson dove over the line for the touchdown. Day missed the goal. Place-Kick Proves Failure. -' Jo (It r ion again kicked off and Lincoln mode a aucceaslon of end runs, forward pase and line bucks and put the bull Into Jefferson territory.

Guilford i Is on trial for alleged bribery before a Jury in Judge Kavanaugh's department of the State Circuit Court. Early yesterday after noon the Impaneling of the Jury wai I completed, and H. M. Barton, the Juror ' ... V. n -...II. 1 1 I a . 1 " ""I" uuiliuiu IS iLllt?CU IU fltLVV SJ proached with an offer of $1000 If he would vote to acquit W. Cooper Mgr rts, cashier of the Oregon Trust i Savings Bank, was placed on the wit nva stand. C. U. Gantenbeln, Circuit Judge, was next placed on the stand. He told of Barton's assertion to him that an attempt to bribe Barton 'had been made. Barton said Guilford first went to him May 10, at his homo at 144 Alberta street. By arrangement they met the next day at Sixth and Couch streets. Barton said Guilford told him he would have the money the next day at noon. but that he didn't have it with him. Card Is Kvidcnce. Guilford had given his card to Bar ton -hen he first approached him. It was said, and this card, bearing Gull ford's name, as the representative of the Dewdrop Confection Company, was introduced In evidence. Barton said he had told Judge Gan tenbeln of Guilford's alleged efforts to buy him, and that detectives had been detailed to watch them. He said he had a. telephone call from Guilford afterward that the detectives were watching them, and for him to tear up the card. He said Guilford told him two other peraons, well-to-do men, were mixed up in the affair, but aald Guilford mentioned no names. Guilford said he muat "make his get away" as the thing was all over town. Barton said Guilford told hlra. Before this, aald Barton, they had arranged for Mrs. Barton to take Barton some oranges if the Jury was locked up, which was to be a sign that Guilford had paid her the money. Trap Is Set. Judge Gantenbeln testified that at 9:10 o'clock the morning of May 10, Attorney A. E. Clark telephoned to him that Juror Barton had said an at tempt to bribe him had been made. The Judge said he told Clark to em ploy a court reporter and to get Bar ton a statement. The statement was taken in shorthand by A. W. Person, he said. Then Deputy District Attor ney Fitzgerald, Attorney Clark and Judge Gantenbeln met at the police station, and Barton was instructed to keep an appointment he had at the Vancouver waiting-room with Guilford at 2 P. M. the next day. Judge Gantenbeln said he instructed Barton to. accept the bribe and to en deavor to secure half the money. De tectives were to be waiting to witness the transaction. Further testimony from Judge Gan tenbeln was to the effect that In the trial of the Morris case the District Attorney had aald he thought the Jury In the Moore case had been bribed, and that he wanted the Morris Jury kept together. Other Xame Borne. The Judge said when he was told Guilford was trying to bribe Barton his first thought was there was some one behind him, but he did not know who the peop.' s were. "Did Attorneys Sweek and Fouts have anything to do with it?" he was asked. "I don't know," was the response. "Sweek and Fouts came to me and said they wanted a committee appointed to investigate the affair, and I told them had no authority to appoint a com mittee, that the investigation was for the grand Jury to undertake." Testimony that Barton served with the volunteers in the Spanish-American War under the name of H. M. B. Carter was drawn from Judge Gantenbeln by the defense. The Jury trying Guilford Is composed of: Philip Toung, E. C. Chapman, Gust Anderson, J. M W llde, William Schmeer, Charles Emerson. Charles Pollv- ka. O. Abst, J. B. Fletcher, S. P. Gar- rigus, Fred Feldman and J. S. Clark. DAXCES BETTER THAX HOME At Least, Henry Viesko Says Wife Liked Other Men's Company. "If you Jon't like the way I do, you don't have to swing on my gate."

An audience that filled the Ontario opera-house to overflowing listened to night to the address of A. W, LaXfartjr,J candidate for Representative in Con gress. The speaker was Introduced by W. H. Brooke, Republican nominee for the Legislature. Mr. Lafferty spoke for progressive Republicanism and said that the movement . meant that all monopolies would be brought . under control of law. He said that if elected he would work with Cummins, La Fol lette, Beverldge. Murdock. Madison and other ao-called Insurgent Republicans to reduce the tariff on trust-made goods and to enlarge the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the end that maximum rates shall be fixed by law upon all public servibe furnished by monopolies and not bythe arbitrary will of the monopolies themselves. Mr. Lafferty declared that It had been customary In the paat for the owners of trust stocks to contribute to the campaign funds of candidates for CongTess, ao as to put the candidates under obligations in advance of their election and added that he would un der no clrxrumatances accept one cent from such a -source In aid of his cam paign, but would only spend the 1750 allowed to he spent by the candidate personally. He said that trust contri butions were made both to the Demo cratic and "Republican National Con- t -1 -.iti.o, tint that no de- BieOBIUllBl DUIIIIIIIvv-l cent candidate for Congress would ac cept such assistance, dkui be nothing more nor less than an indi rect bribe to stand with the interests after being elected.

This fact developed yesterday when It was learned that the officers of the Demo cratic State Central Committee had en gaged a holl for a concluding get-the-votes-for-West rally to be held in a local theater on Saturday night. November 9, Just preceding the general election of Tuesday, November 8. It Is reported that the state committee paid 250 rent for this playhouse for that occasion. Incidentally it is proper to mention at this time that this demonstration was arranged by State Chairman Sweek and State Secretary Ryan, foremost boosters of the one-man campaign in behalf of West for Governor, without consulting County Chairman Thomas or any of the other members of the county organization.- In other words, the action of the state committee was only another step ill-advlsedly taken and which will reault in the further estrangement of the (state and county organizations of the minority party.
