I TELLS HIS
STORY Ofl STAND
Gives Version of. Encounter
With Mrs. Waymire in
Private Office.
CASE TO LAST ALL WEEK
Hungry Mob Crowds Courtroom and
JEagerly Hears t'ross-lixamina-tion
of Iie Mayor," Which
. Will Be Continued 'xoday.
Rapid prosress was made yesterday
In the trial 'of Mrs. Belle Waymire and
K. K. Raddlng. charged 'With plotting
to blaeken the character oT Mayor
Harry Kane.' The openins? statements
were over by noon and then the hear
InR of testimony. was taken np. Mayor
Kane oecupyinff - nearly all the after
noon with direct examination.
Mayor Lane repeated his former ver
sions of the attack made on him in his
medical office by. Mrs. Waymire and
of her method of fretting into his
Rood tuvor. Although he was uncer
tain In regard to many lesser details
of what occurred durlnp his several
meetings with the woman, the Mayor's
impression on the jury was plainly a
strong one and he was given the clos
est and mot respectful attention
throughout. 1
Many to Take Stand.
Although the trial has not dragged
thus far, it is no'w plain that all week,
at least, will be required in getting
the ease before the jury. Counsel for
both sides arc feeling tlfelr way with
the utmost caution and the cross-examination
on oth sides will be exhaus
tive. Mayor Lane was under cross-examination
when court adjourned yes
terday and the Waymlre-Kadding at
torneys will spend at least another
hour with the Mayor this morning. His
cross-examination may even continue
throughout the forenoon, as Attorney
Logan did not seem to have gotten
more than started after 60 minutes of
rapid-tire work.
That Mrs. Waymire and Kadding will
both be placed on tile stand was stated
yesterday by their attorneys. In fact,
it is Mrs. Waymire's appearance on the
stand wherein the, greatest hope, of
acquittal is held. In interviews and
during her preliminary examination,
her story was remarkably graphic, con
vincing and ingenuous in detail. Not
once has she contradicted herself, even
before the onslaught of skillful cross
examiners who ought without success
to entrap her In many a cleverly-set
trap. The- woman's story. Rad,dings,
and the testimony of a half score of
minor witnesses will consume several
days, and the state will need at least
another day. Allowing a day for argu
ments, the case may go to the jury
by Saturday.
Attendance yesterday was overwhelm
ing. Twice the force of Deputy Sheriffs
In attendance at. the court had to beat
hack, the seandaJ-hungry throng which
surged about the door, obstructing that
aperature so that interested parties could
get neither in nor out. Ljke hungry flies
the curious, eager horde clung tenaciously
about the eorridors, awaiting some chance
opportunity of .slipping Inside.
Crane Xccks to Hear.
On the inside of the courtroom every
seat, every aisle, every possible inch of
ftoorEpace waa monopolized by a craning
mob. which stood Inert and stolid while
some point of law was being arfeued, only
to be fanned into eager interest by some
suggestive bit of evidence. It waa a scandal-hungry
horde, open-mouthed and sa
lacious, lor the most part. Several times
the words of a witness were lost in a
round of vulgar mirth aroused by the
testimony. Twice Circuit Judge Ganten
beln had to threaten to clear the courtroom.-
And In the midst of this precious
throng there was one woman, a neatly
gowned person of 30 or thereabouts, who
sat in the third row and drank in the
testimony with ravenous interest.
I'ourt opened at 9:30 A. M. with every
bit of the courtroom filled. Some of those
present had been waiting fully an hour.
As soon as the jury was in place Dan
J. Malarkey arose as Special Prosecutor
to present the opening statement on be
half of the State. He spent an hour and
15 minutes telling what the prosecution
would seek to show. He said the evi
dence at hand would reveal that the af
fair was nothing more than a plot to
blacken the reputation o Mayor Lane.
He went over the Mayor's various meet
ings with the woman, the struggle and
scene in the Hamilton block, and all. de
tails of the affair. The tiling was plainly
a plot against the Mayor, in which four
conspirators were engaged, Malarkey
said. The four were Mrs. Waymire, Rad
cHng. a pawnbroker named Mendelay and
a man hired In a jewelry store of the
name of Bell. Bell is Mrs. Waymire's
avowed sweetheart, or was at the time
of the trouble. It would be shown, he
added, that Raddlng approached T. C.
Devlin and Councilman Wills, political
enemies of Lane's, with an offer to en
trap the Mayor In his office with a
woman.
Attorney McGarry occupied another
hour or more In outlining the attitude of
the defense. It was a case of lovemaking,
lie said, lovemaking which had over
reached the bounds of propriety. He
thought the Mayor's unusual interest In
a strange though attractive woman, his
receiving her in a private office and his
other conduct would demonstrate, when
developed by the evidence, that the Mayor
alone was the offending party.
The first witness called was M. G.
Clark, who drew a detailed diagram of
Mayor's rooms at the Hamilton block.
He testitled as to the arrangement of
the rooms and the accuracy of his map.
Tr. C. S. White, who occupies the rooms
jointly with Mayor I-ane. was next
called by the slate. He said the Mayor
was in tho habit of calling at the office
at noon, and of returning at 5:30 P. M.,
to attend to his small practice. He also
went Into details as to the arrangement
of the room and as to Mayor Lane's ap
pearance after the tussle with Mrs. Way
mire. The testimony of this witness had
no Important bearing on the case. He
was briefly cross-examined.
"How many buttons were torn off .his
shirt?'" asked Attorney Logan very sud
denly, and there was a respondent cran
ing of necks and murmur of satisfaction
and expectation from the gaping section
of spectators.
"Two. I think." was the reply. The
subject was pursued no further, and the
mob sank back into stolidity.
Mayor Lane Is Called.
A moment later the courtroom was all
agape aguin when the name of Mayor
l.ano was called as the next witness.
Someone out near the door nearly got
into a fight with someone else over two
inches or fo of standing-place at this
Juncture. Deputy Sheriff Bulger pre
vented trouble and then cleared away
tho overflow once more, and shut the
courtroom dours.
The Ala) or went on the witness-stand
at 3:20 P. M., and was kept until 5, the
last 50 minutes1 of the time being given
to cross-examination. He described the
furnishings and appointments and then,
at District Attorney Manning's sugges
tion, proceeded to tell. In his own way,
the story of his experiences with Mrs.
Waymire. - ,
"The woman came to jny office at the
City Hall," began Mayor Lane, address
ing himself to the Jury. "She introduced
herself as Mrs. .Waymire, of Missouri,
and said she had been in trouble with,
her husband. She said1 they had a child,
which was in the custody of her hus
band's people, and expressed a wish to
bring the child out here. She wanted to
know ho"W I could help her. I told her
she had better see a lawyer, and also
referred her to Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs.
Trumbull, who are interested in charit
able work. She said she didn't care to
take the matter up with those people, as
she didn't want her troubles to be
known to any more people than she
could help. I thought little of the mat
ter. Many people call on errands of
that kind. They call at my office, and
follow me home, and there are hundreds
of them. I have " t
"I object to all this talk as to your
policies and thinks like that," interposed
Mr. McGarry. "Confine yourself to this
case."
Asks Lane for Advice.-
"All right. Well, she had a plan for
kidnaping the child and wanted to know
if I thought the Juvenile Court would
take the child away from her if she got
it. I said the courts were usually con
siderate of mothers in such cases. She
called again, and this time seemed un
decided about the child, and said she
didn't know but that it would be best to
leave it with the grandmother. She said
she was working at the Hazeiwood Res
taurant, and was only making J8 a week.
"It was quite a while before I saw her
again. Her first call was some time In
July and along In August she came to
say she had decided to get her child. In
a few days she would receive money from
her mother with which to go back and
she wanted to know if I would give her
a letter of general references. I said
yes and told her to speak to my stenog
rapher about it. She did this. Later
when she telephoned about the letter, I
found the name had been spelled wrong
and said the letter would have to be re
written, as I did not want a mistake like
that to go out."
Coming down to tbe night of the trouble,
late in September, Maor Lane said he
reached his private office at 5:30 o'clock
and wss in a hurry. to leave, being tired
out from overwork and attendance at late
meetings. Only the night before he had
been up until 1 o'clock with a meeting of
the Kast Side Improvement Club.
Thought She Was Crazy.
.''When she called I was in a hurry to
go and tried to get rid of her without
being rude," the Mayor continued. "After
a short conversation I got up from my
desk. She ,then came close to me and
caught hold of me. She began a low
moaning sound, then her voice raised and
she grabbed hold of me and began tearing
at my clothing and screaming at the top
of her voice.'
"I asked her if she was crazy and then
I saw she was not insane and under
stood there was premeditation about it.
She was screaming and tearing at me like
a wildcat. 1 caught' hold of her wrist
and tried to free myself and demanded
that she let go of me. Her screaming was
violent by this time. Someone broke in
the glass in the door and pulled the
curtain aside and then she let go of me..
As soon as tho door was open she started
to leave. 'The old brute, the old brute,
ile tried to force . me.' she said."
Mr. Manning then introduced in
evidence the letter written by the Mayor
for Mrs. Waymire. It bore a misspelled
name ami read:
To Whom it May Concern: Th! is to
certify that the bearer. Mrs. Belle Way
mir, is a very estimable lady and a resi
dent of this city. Any courtesies extended
to her will be appreciated by me."
After other details of the struggle In
question bad been told of. the witness was
turned over for cross-examination. Mr.
lxigan went into Mrs. Waymire's earlier
visits minutely.
"Now about that letter, was it neces
sary to have her call so often for It
couldn't you have mailed that as well as
not?"he asked.
Asks About Pet Names.
"Well, yes, but the name was wrong
and I was waiting to see whether she
got the mpney from her mother to go
Kast on." .
'.'Isn't it a fact that you called her
nice names, dearie and baby and girlie?"
. "No, not her or any other woman,"
protested the Mayor, trying hard not to
Join in the roar of laughter, but falling.
"Did you call her 'my child' ?"-
"Well. I may have. I call many wom
en that."
"Mostly young women?"
''Yes, ind old women too. The same as
I sometimes call old men 'sonny'."
"Is it true that, as she has said, you
tried to fondle this little woman?" per
sisted the lawyer, pointing gravely at Mrs.
Waymire, who was seated directly be
hind him.
Denies Attempt . at Intimacy.
"It most certainly is not true." said
Mayor Lane with emphasis. "After my
experience with that woman I would not
be in tho least surprised at anything she
might say or do."
"Now about your muscles; didn't you
show her your muscles?"
"I may have called attention to my
lack of muscles but nothing more. I
have been all run down since going Into
office and "'
"Didn't you tell her how you and your
brother used to do 'em all up?"
"Oh. no. nonsense, nothing of the sort."
Taking up the subject of the encounter,
Mr. Logan asked about the details of that
episode.
"Instead of asking her if she was crazy
when she began screaming, didn't you say
'Baby, baby, what on earth are you
doing?' Now Isn't that a fact?"
There was another demonstration from
the audience at this and after the court
had restored order and threatened to de
bar the public, adjournment ' was takeai
until today at 9:30 A. M.
Roy Summers Is Convicted.
Roy Sommers was found guilty of ibur
glarizing Dr. J. W. Morrow's home by a

MADDEN WILL BE CATCHER
M'CREIME SECURES A BOSTON
MAN FOR BACKSTOP.
Reputed Best In New England
League Calif f, Mott and Moore
..Go to Aberdeen.
Frank Madden, ex-catcher of the
Lynn, Mass., club, will be the main
stay back of the bat for the Portland
baseball team during the coming sea
son. 'This experienced catcher has
been secured by Manager McCredie, in
stead of Ostdieck, for the latter has
been retained by the Boston American
League team because tho other bis
leaguers refused to give waivers. Mad
den was turned over to McCredie in
stead. Madden was the best catcher in the
New England League and Boston was
unwilling to part with him, but owing
to lt inability to otherwise live up to
its contract the club was compelled to
do so.
Madden Is the catcher promised in
the deal for Donohue and McHale, and
will report at Santa Barbara with the
rest of tho Portland players' In March.
Manager McCredie lias decided to do
his preliminary work at Santa Bar
bara and all the Portland players will
be ordered to report there. , The deal
for the training quarters at the- Cali
fornia coast resort was closed yester
day by the McCredies. '
Ennon Califf, Anson Mott and Char
lie Moore, all members of the Port
land team, have been sold to the Aber
deen team of the Northwestern League
by the management of the Portland
team and will have to report to that
club in order to play ball during the
coming season. Mott and Callff are
good men, but the Indifferent manner
Jn which they conducted themselves
for Portland last season caused them to
become unpopular and they were not
figured on as members of the regular
team for the coming season.
In Moore's case the situation is dif
ferent. This player refused to sign
with McCredie last season because the
Portland manager did not offer him
enough money and held out all year.
Moore is a fine player and If Aberdeen
gets him that club will have a 'most
welcome addition to its- aggregation.
Manager McCredie has also received
notice that First Baseman Danzig has
been ordered . to report to Portland
for the coming season, and with that
player and Kennedy as possibilities for
the position the Portland manager
seems well provided. - "

was before the United States Government
constructed a Jetty, which lessened depth

Every once in a while a big hit is scored abroad

character or perhaps a light operetta. It is often a
year or two before' such successes are publicly given
on this side of the Atlantic. .
It's usually a fact that such music is obtainable
the. form of Pianola
in
sliest .music is placed on
sale. A case in. point is
thev reigning success, the
' ' Merry Widow, ' which
made its first Netf York
ap'pearance October 21.
Pianola owners have been
enjoying this music for
over a year.
