It was admitted yesterday by both boys. The two youngsters, apparently un moved by the failure of their lurid story of Holmbertf's connection with the crime to stand the test of Investi gation, said yesterday their motive in accusing Holmberg was as much for adventure us to secure the reward Offered. HitSi declared that they woul.l not have held out lornr 'enough to see Holmberg sent to the gallows and ex pected when they fixed up the plot to get caught. They had. however.

Hawkins, In fact, laughingly yesterday; "We framed up the scheme on Holm berg as an easy way to get rich and we failed.

I have seen fights and been In tights. I have been a hobo and rve been a gentleman and I've seen every side of life, but I have never heard of such an affair as this before. "There was something besides money In the deal. T believe the boys wanted adventure. I first found Hawkins In a small town in Washington. He was broke and hungry, had no clothes and nowhere to go. I hart a nephew once and I knew how I would have hated to see him go cold and hungry. I took pity on tho boy and befriended him in every way. And my pay? he wanted to see me hung. nova Have Forslvesrsii, "The first I heard of the Hill murder was when a policeman at The lulles poked a gun up against my head and told me 1 was under arrest. "From that time, the finger of scorn was leveled at me. I told the truth. J argued about the preposterous nature of the boys' story, but the officer" would not believe me. I told them not to hang me in a hurry but to wait, I was sure the tale would fall through.' I whs locked In a cage in the County Jail and could do nothing but pace the floor and wonder If I would -hang. I told the truth. I did not attempt to evade anything and there was nothing to evade, yet the web of circumstance was wounil rapidly about me by the bo-s- I did not know what they were telling and could not find out.

WOMEN ADD TO SUCCESS Dinner Given Following Last Session or Southwest Washington. De velopment League Marked hy Mapnifloenee. BY ADDISOX BENNETT. When the Northern Pacific train pulled into the Union Station yesterday afternoon at 3:30 with the special Pull man car Anipyan, containing the Port land delesation returning- from Aber deen, there was to be seen as well satisfied and smiling- a lot of men as ever came back to this city from any errand of the sort. x And there was but one opinion as to the people of Gray's Harbor and the hospitality of the citizens of Aberdeen, and that wa3 that they are the best ever. Their treatment of our dele pates was something never to be for (rotten, always treasured up as an event of the rarest enjoyment. At the closing ceremonies Saturday night in the Knights of Pythias Hall, the spirit of the women of the city was demon strated in a way so unique as to make the event one unparalleled, one which will be handed down' as a classic. Mumicale AVIn Applnune. It was ostensibly a musicale. the programme saying that It was given by the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce in honor of the .Southwest Washington Development League; it was in fact an entertainment given by the women of that city, the musical numbers being the central setting around which was hung an affair of great pleasure and enjoyment to all. The musicale was directed by Mrs. Gertrude Croxall, a musician and di rector of far more than average ability. Indeed the arrangement and carrying out of the affair mark her as an im presario of whom a metropolis might well be proud. The patronesses stand ing sponsors for Mrs. Croxall were the following: Mrs. J. B. Bridges, Mrs. A. L. Davenport, Mrs. K. C. Mills, Mrs. A. V. Middleton, Mrs. Charles Green. Mrs. U G. Humbargar, Mrs. A. D. Wood, Mrs J D Gray, Mrs. A. P. Stockwell, Mrs. J. S. Gunn, Mrs. W. B. Mack, Mrs. W. A. Rupp, Mrs. G. E. Anderson, Mrs. Waldo Hart and Mrs. A. L. Paine. The setting of the hall was some thing whicli calls for comment, for it was so beautiful as to excite the keen admiration of every guest. When the committee took the matter In charge they selected 50 young misses from the high school, their ages ranging from 15 to 17 years, and left the matter in their hands. Each miss was to set one table, furnish the dishes, silverware, china, glass and linen, and decorate it in her own way. Four prizes were of fered for the four finest tables, but the committee had not agreed at the hour of departing yesterday morning. I do not think they ever will agree, for there was little choice in merit, eimplv in taste as to the various ar rangements. They ought to give 50 first prizes and then 50 gold medals Hesldes. That is about what the guests would have voted had It been left to them. Every table was laden with costly china- and rare silver and cut glass, and the roses and other flowers were In profusion on every hand. The hall, which Is a beautiful one, was deco rated with Autumn leaves, the glory of their coloring setting off the great beams to perfection. Men Take I'art In Fete. Following the musicale iee cream and cake were served at the tables, nearly 300 finding seats, ajid 'afteT this, the real fun of the evening began. Or rather the mere men here took charge and turned the artistic into Jesting and story telling and speech, making, and little things like that.

And the rortland "bunch" came in strong with their stunts. One of their yells given with a vim was as follows: What can we from Portland do? "We can boost a lot for you; Who can ? I can. we can. P-O-R-T-L-A-N-U: This was read by the megaphone man: "We're all from Portland, proud to show it, We're always glad to let folks know It, Ever ready to boost for others. Especially our harbor brothers: So here's a yell, forget it never, Fair Grays Harbor, forever and ever. This was wound up with the "offi cial yell" of the day: The best folks we yet have, seen Are those we met in Aberdeen, Hip. hip. hurrah. The simple printing of these words gives no indication of their spirit. But throated by 30 or more voices, with a megaphone or two thrown In, and in a crowd of 30-0, and all In the best of humor, such "stunts" brought out the heartiest of applause from the aud ience. Among the jolliest and best satistied guests of the evening were Governor and Mrs. Hay. Rettolntloiis Are Drawn. While the Governor acted with all seeming dignity, he was one of the gayest of the participants In the fun. nnd he and his wife led in the applause in the musical performance. Their presence at the business and social ses sions of the league's meetings were greatly appreciated by the delegates and the people of Aberdeen. On the train coming home the dele gation was called into consultation by the chairman. F. A. Freeman, and the following resolutions adopted: Resolved, That we express to the offieers. committees and members of the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce our heartfelt thanks for their thoUKhtfulnexM. kindliness and wholesouled cordiality; our Rratitude ror the lavish entertainment provided, and our feel ing helplessness In realizinE how Inadequate ly our words convey the fulness of our thanksgiving, and further Resolved. That to the mothers and wives, daughters and sweethearts of the men of Aberdeen, we record our appreciation of their havinp participated In this hospitality ; that we compliment them upon the artistic decorations, the tasty refreshments and their superlative music: anil that we assure them that their part, the climax of the oc casion, will be cherished In memory as tho most delightful nnd happy In our experience.
