COURT WON BY EX-CONVICT Detectives' Accused of Hounding Man After Release. "Am I supposed to bang a sign across my back saying 'Ex-convict from Walla Walla?" " was the ques tion asked by Abe Goldberg, who se cured his freedom in Municipal Court yesterday after being arrested for vagrancy by Detectives Vaughn and Hyde. The query and the rest of a 10-mlnute speech which Goldberg made freed him and bis companion, Frank E. Rhoades, also an ex-convict. Goldberg said that he was hounded by the detectives. He said that he had served 22 months for the crime of which he had been accused, and had so expiated it. In the few weeks since he was freed, he said, he had been arrested twice, once for peddling without a license and once for vagrancy. He said that he had found work, but that when his employers learned of his record from detectives he lost his positions. Judge Stevenson listened attentively to the talk.

VANDALS SMASH WINDOWS Plate Glass in Jewelry Stores Is Shattered Without Kobhery. With no apparent object save wanton destruction, two plateglass display win dows, one at A and C. Feldenheimer's Jewelry store at Washington and Park streets, and the other at Friedlander's Jewelry store at Sixth and Washington streets, were smashed presumably at about 9 o'clock Tuesday night. The motive was evidently not robbery, for nothing of value was displayed in the Keldenhelmer window, and at Fried lander's a tray of watches within easy reach of a robber, remained untouched. The time when the Frledlander win dow was broken Is established by the burglar alarm, which sounded at 9 P. M. Local Jewelers and plateglass insur ance companies have asked for special police protection, to be continued for an indefinite time. PERSONALMENTION. K.

Brother of Man Defendant Is Accnsed of Murdering Breaks Down While on Witness Stand. All expense of obtaining evidence concerning two telegrams, which At torney W. T. Hume insisted were taken from Lloyd H. Wllkins when he was arrested, will be paid by the state, said Deputy District Attorney Magulre yes terday afternoon at Wllkins' trial The defendant Is charged with the murder of Lou Winters. The telegrams, the attorney for the defense said, were ad dressed to Wllkins and were In reply to messages he had sent Inquiring as to the whereabouts of his wife. One of them, Mr. Hume .said, was from Ta coma and the other from Chehalia. Mr. Maguire took offense at what he called the insinuation of counsel for the defense that the state was con cealing evidence. "No such messages have ever come to my notice In examining the effects of the defendant, and the state will pay all expenses which might be Incurred in bringing to light any evidence in regard to the telegrams. I make this offer In good faith, that the defendant might have a fair trial and because I don't want it to be said that the state is suppressing evidence." Deputy District Attorney Collier, who also had examined the effects taken from Wllkins when he was arrested, said he had seen only one telegram, which was . offered in evidence, but which was not the telegram Mr. Hume wanted. The tilt between the attorneys came during the cross-examination of De tective Hellyer, who corroborated his fellow officer in this testimony. . A J. Winters, a brother of Lou Win ters, took the stand late in the day, but broke down after he had answered the first few questions and was excused until today. Other witnesses who testified during the day were Earl Marshall, a taxi driver, the first to find Winters afte the assault; Arthur Anderson, C. P. John and W. Robertson, carmen, who arrived soon after Marshall found the injured man, and F. C. Warren, who drove by the scene of the crime In an automobile and was hailed by some one and asked If there was a physician in the car. These testified an. to the con dition and position of the body when found. GOOD HOME FOR SOMEONE "Oldish" Man Preferred by Moody, Or., Resident Who Offers.
