STATE SOON WILL CLOSE Saloonkeeper Declares Tliat Defen dant Was Greatly Agitated Soon After Crime With Which lie Is Charged. The nt of circumstantial evidence which the state has been endeavoring to weave about Jack La Rwe for nearly a week, was almost complete yesterday afternoon. But the defense maintains there are many weak threads in the evi dence. and has made frequent objections in its admission before the jury. The leal battle over the introduction or ex clusion of all testimony relative to two watches, said to have been in La Kose s possession, which materially strengthens the case of the state, will be brought to a close this morning, and Judce Morrow will decide whether or not the testimony Is to be considered. Harm Neuman. son of Hyman Neuman, with whose murder La Kose is charged, mas the star witness yesterday afternoon for the state. Although but 17 years old. the witness described accurately the manner In which his father's accounts of roods purchased were kept, and iden tified two watches as having been in his father's secondhand store, at Second and Couch streets in April. He said he wis employed in the store daily after school hours in cleaning up ana cierKmg. Positive Watch Was Father's. A small watch, apparently gold, w.ts shown him. and he was asked by Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald if he hid ever seen it before. He replied that he had. that K was In his father's showcase a week before the murder, which oc curred May 12. Neuman dying May 13 at the hospital. The lad said that the watch was in a case about a foot square and two or three feet high, which was kept on the south side of the store near the door. He said that he had no ticed the watch particularly beoauss his father Intended to present it to his daun ter. but upon taking It to a Jeweler for re pairs, was Informed that it was too cheap to be worth repairing. The "boy said he knew it by Its sixe and shape, by the number on the case, and by the works. The boy was shown an account book and said his father entered therein" every secondhand article purchased during 1DC7. The small watch, he said. was bought in Septemb-r of that year. He was shown the particular entry in -.he bonk, and identified, it. Neuman was then shown a large brass watch, and said that his father had it in his showcase in April, the month be fore the murder. He identified this watt n by the picture of an engine, engraved voon the back of the case. James Signet, a years old. who llvs with his brother at the foot of Main street, was the next witness. He sa.d e bought the small watch at Second an I Murnrlde streets in July, last year, a id that he sold It to Neugyin In Soptemoir. La Kose Was Much Excited. Thomas Kinney, alias Charles Leondor, was called as a witness yesterday morn ing. Lester W. Humphreys, counsel f r the defens;, objected to his testimony on the ground that his true name was nit entered upon the information wm :n charges La Rose with crime. But up.:n Klnnev-'s explanation that he was once a professional acrobat, and that Leondcr ij his stage name. Judg? Morrow reiusca to exclude the testimony. Kinney said that he conducted a sa'non at Second and Ankeny streets on the day of the Neuman murder, and that about 11:16 A. M. La Rose entered the plac in a nervous and excited condition and throwing a 11" g.ild piece on the counter said he wanted something to arm,:. Asked whut he would have. La Rose said to have replied. "Any old thing. I've -been on a hell of a tear, and I'm alt shot to pieces. I have just HO and have been debating with myself whether to buy a revolver and kill myself or blow 't in." Kinney testified that he persua led La Rose not to drink, after the alleged murderer had Informed Kinney that he Jiad had nothing to eat for three days. The witness said that he took La Rose to a back room and gave him a lunch. He was trying to sober La Rose up. he said, when someone en tered and told of the Neuman murder. La Rose had been In the saloon a half hour then, he said, and when told of the assault on Neuman. answered: "An other man killed? I hadn't head of It. It must be a fanatic, or else some one who has got it In for the Jews. They ought to kill all the Jews." Kinney said La Rose then informed him that he must go to the Postoffice for some malL The saloonkeeper told the man to come back if hungry. About 6 o'clock, said Kinney. La Rose re turned, very drunk. He pulled out two watches, and was upbraided by the saloonkeeper, who told him he ought rot to throw watches around like that. Kinney said yesterday that he took charge of the watches end told La Rosa to return for them in the morn ing. He said la Rose then asked for money with which to get a shave, meals and a room. Said He Bought Watches. Detective Thomas Coleman told of a conversation which took place be tween La Kose and Detective Tlchenor in the detective's room at the Police Station. He said that Captain Baty and Detective Jones were present. Coleman said I .a Kose was asked where he obtained the watches, and - said that he obtained the small one in California two years before, and that he bought the large one on the streetcar for $1. The defense ob jected to the IntriMiuction of this tes timony on the ground that La Rose was compelled to make the statement by threats of the detectives. The Court allowed It to go before the Jury.. The state, through Mr. Fitzgerald, made an attempt yesterday morning to introduce in evidence a third watch, but this was ruled out by the Court. M. Ostrow. a second-hand dealer who has a tore at 44 Third street. was called as a witness yesterday morning. He said that his store ex tends through the block, and is near Neuman's place. When he heard that Neuman had been hurt he rushed in. and found the man standing be tween two tables, with his hands to his head. He said that Neuman did not recognize him. and that he went and called the police. He saw the gasptpe. wrapped in a newspaper, he said, lying on the floor in a pool of blood. The instrument of death was introduced in evidence yesterday. City Physician Zelg'.er testified that the wounds on Neuman's head might have been caused by any edged instru ment. They wer not made, km said. by a flat Instrument. Dr. Zeigler said that when he first saw Neoman after the assault the victim was sitting on a bench at the Police Station moan- Ins. He said that although the second-hand dealer was in a dazed con dition, he answered questions intelli ; gently. Although it was thought for a time f that it would be possible to place the case in the hands of the jury thi week, this will be Impossible, for the state has not yet finished the intro- duction of testimony. John F. Logan and Max Cohen appear as special coun eei iur me wiiiic and C. V. Howard are defending the accused man, in addition to Attorney Humphreys.

Property-owners and residents are anxious that some steps be taken for removing to some other part of the city the school and settlement of the "Tongues of Fire" people established on East Pine street. In the dwelling on the northwest corner of East Pine and East Twelfth streets these people have started a school, attended by a consid erable number of boys and girls. This is not particularly objectionable, but at the southeast corner of East Thirteenth and Pine streets is another dwelling occupied by these people and their presence and actions are highly objectionable to the residents in adjacent houses. A short time ago so much nolce was kept up in this house by the inmates at all hours of the night that, on complaint of neigh bors, a policeman called and warned the religionists that they would have to keep quiet. Since then there has not been quite so much noise, but there is enough still to make a nuisance. It Is said, and uncanny and nerve-racking moans and groans are heard here at night. Another settlement of the same sort is In a house on the southwest corner of East Fif teenth and Pine streets, tributary to thia school. Owners of property in the Immediate vicinity have to stand the annoyance, but renters are preparing to move away as soon as they can do so. An appeal will be made to the East Side Business Men's Club to help eliminate ' this settlement from this residence district. Residents declare that no such settlement should he allowed on sanitary grounds and ask that the Health Office inspect the building occupied by these people. An effort will be made to convince owners of the property rented to them, that they are depreciating the value, not only of their own property, but other property in the neighborhood. All who can will move out of the neighborhood before long, ac cording to the statements of the renters, but property-owners cannot do this. Rev. John Glasco seems superintendent of the settlement and school. J. M. Woodworth, a resident and property-owner, said yesterday: "All sorts of rough-looking people are brought to the house on East Thirteenth and Pine streets. They appear to have been picked up from the slums, and I don't think the place is clean. It certainly does not seem so from the outside. I think the only way to get rid of these people is through the owners of the prop erty which they rent. I further consider it the duty of the Health Officer to in spect the houses occupied by these peo ple. Our public schools are Inspected, but here Is a collection of children with out such inspection." BANQUET FOR TAFT MEN Multnomah County Republicans to Celebrate Victory. iMuItnomah.
