Harime was impaneled. The complaining witness is Mrs. Jennie Crabtree, who, on the stand testified that she left La Grande on the train at about 9:30 and arrived at Kamela at about 10:30 and immediately started down the track to her home which is about one and one quarter miles from Kamela. while passing the 0. R. & N. coal bunkers, a person, whom she did not see at the time, sprang out and grabbed her.. She screarr ed and be drew a knife and said "Ve killee you, me killee you. station close." In the ' struggle which ' followed she broke away and ran back to the station. She is positive that the defendent in the case is the man who assaulted her. This was Mrs! Crabtree's first visit to Kamela since last summer. The night was clear and cold.' and the moon was shining bright. ' Mr. Crabtree is engaged in the stock business. Aside from corro borating the fact that Mrs. Crabtree re turned to the station, by the agent,, and a few minor details concerning the arrest in which it was sought to establish the fac that the Japanese was in hiding behind the stove, when the prem'ses were being searched to arrest him, the state rested its case. The plea of the defense is that the de fendant is not the man who committed the assault, ejid while not attempting to prove that the assailant was one of the reeks who is also working on the sec tion, that inference could easily be drawn from the nature of the questions asked the witnesses, one witness testifying thai he saw a man standing In or near the vicinity of where the assault took place, and about that time. This witness could not tell who, or of what nationality, on'y knew that it was a man. - The Japanese are taking an active in terest in the case, the four Japanese who were working in the coal bunkers at Ka mela, the defendant being one of the four, do not speak English and an educated doctor from Portland was sent for to act as an interpreter. The four Japanese a swear positively that the defendant with the other three retired that night at 8:30 and as they all slept in one bed. they make a rather strong case. furs. Crabtree swears positively that see could pick out this Jap, as the one who committed the assault, among a thousand, and the Japs swear as above stated. Whether or not the jury wil' con sider this evidence correct or whether they have framed up the defense to suit the occasion, remains to be set n. There is no question but what the lady was assaulted, the question is as to who the guilty one is. (001(1 (Scrlpps News Association) Washington. Feb. 9.
