Webb, the principal in the so-called
"trunk" murderer which stirred this
section of the country a year ago,
will be executed at the state prison
early in the coming week unless his
sentence is commuted, by Governor
West Webb has had two trials and
an appeal for a third trial was denied
by the supreme court. Governor
West, after a careful review of the
case, announced that he saw nothing
that would ' warrant his Interference
with the sentence of the court Con
sequently there Is believed to be lit
tle or no hope for Webb to escape
the gallowa.
. Webb was convicted of killing Will-

Central hotel in this city a year ago
last June. The victim was shot and
then beaten to death with a black
Jack aigd bis body stuffed Info a
trunk. The- murdered man had ar
rived at the hotel a day or two before
tb? crime from Spokane, in c6mpany
with Webb and Mrs. Carrie Kersh,
who subsequently was proved to be
Webb'a paramour. r : r
Johnson had about $1900 in his
possession and it was to obtain this
that the murder was committed. The
evidence showed th:i. after the murder
Johnson's body was stuffed Into a
ruck, the murderer being assisted
by the Kersh W6mftn. The trunk
was s;nt from the hotel to the rail
road station for slpnwt to an la
terlor point.' At the station one of
the employes noticed a pool of blood
-which had trickled from the train
and It led to the discovery of tht
crime. ; ' : ' ' - . ;
On the Sam day Wfebb and Mrs
Kersh were taken (Ii'to custody as they

son, and two handkerchiefs, both be

was found most of the. money taken
from Johnson. The subsequent trials
showed that Johnson's death had been
planned by the couple with the ob
ject of robbery, Mrs. Kersh being the
lure. Tlw trial of Wrebb resulted in
his conviction of murder in the .first
degree. The woman was found guil
