STATE'S METHOD ATTACKED
Attorneys for Sailors Agent Accused
of Iurder Sajs Prosecution Has
Jfot Proved He Was Present
When Hadberg Was Killed.
MOXTESANO, Wash., May 10. (Spe
cial.) That Attorney James A. Hutche
son. the last attorney for the defense to
speak, will close his argument early to
morrow morning, and that Prosecuting
Attorney Will E. Campbell will make the
final address for the state in time to give
the fate of William Gohl into the hands
of the Jury close to noon tomorrow, is
the general belief here tonight.
With the meager testimony which the
defense introduced by a handful of wit
nesses, Attornies Hutcheson and A. K.
Cross had but little substance upon
which to base their arguments in be
half of the Aberdeen sailors' agent
charged with murder, and the principal
contention was that It had not been
definitely shown that the body alleged to
be that of Charles Hadberg, found near
the mouth of Indian Creek, was in reality
the body of Hadberg. - It was also-contended
by the defense that there , had
been no evidence on the' part of the state
to show that Gohl himself had been at
Indian Creek on the morning of Decem
ber 22, as charged, although it - was ad
mitted that the launch Patrol was there.
State's Methods Attacked. .
Attorney Hutcheson, who was still
arguing when court adjourned for the
day, spent considerable time in an at
tack upon the method of the state in
securing evidence against the defendant,
speaking of the "countless numbers of
deputies, detectives and others" who b.ad
been retained, "more," Hutcheson said,
"that the sheriff could count."
The attorney then declared that the
prosecution of Gohl amounted nearly to
persecution, and in fact he dwelt at
such length upon the subject, that his
his words formed themselves into an
unspoken plea for leniency. At times, he
painted Gohl in glownlg terms, referring
to his life as "that of a soldier." "He
could not battle," said Hutcheson,
out Incurring the hatred and opposition
of the 'interests' in this county ' and
state, the weight of which he bears to
day in the cruel accusations made
against him."
Hutcheson . spoke of the bitter feeling
between, llingenberg, the.,-self-confessed
murderer, and Hadberg, saying that "the
body has not rested long enough in the
cold waters of the harbor to wash away
that feeling of hatred." and cast the in
sinuation that Kllngenberg had not
murdered Hadberg at the command and
upon the threats of Gohl, but for hts
own , revenge.
Court Givce Instructions.
The -court's instructions to the jury
in the morning were considered in
favor of the state, the only warning
of Judge Ben Sheeks being that the
testimony of Kllngenberg should not
be considered until after the .testimony
of other witnesses, corroborating it,
had been fully weighed.
Special Prosecutor K. K. Boner, who
spoke first for the state, gave a com
plete . outline of the alleged murder,
taking the story as confessed by
Kllngenberg and pointing out how
practically every detail had been
proven by several witnesses. It was a
damaging address for the defense.
Attorney A. K. Cross, for the de
fense, spoke but shortly, pointing out
principally that the state had not
shown that Gohl was present at the
time Hadberg was murdered, while the
defense had introduced the testimony
of Rank, who said he had seen Gohl
in Aberdeen on tile morning in ques
tion. Cross' statement, although brief.
created a better impression that has
Hutcheson so far with his more
lengthy and flowery speeches.
Gohl Whistles.
Although Mrs. Ghol is showing the
strain of the trial, Gohl, himself.
seemed to find solace and hope in the
impassioned appeal of Hutcheson, and
as the defendant walked down the
back stairs of the courthouse to his
cell tonight he was whistling.
Information charging William Gohl
with, murder In the first degree, for
the klllinar of John Hoffman, a former
Aberdeen cigar dealer, on the night of
September 21, was filed in the Superior
Court here today by County Attorney
Campbell. In the event of the acqutttal
of Gohl by the jury now hearing the
case against him . on the charge of
k miner Hadberg, the Information will
bo pressed and Gohl will be tried. If
he Is convicted -in the present trial
the new charge will be obviously un
necessary." In his confession, J.
KlinBXtnbera;- declared that Gobi, mur
dered Hoffman in the launch Patrol
December 21. throwing the body into
the Chehalis River.

Miss Hattie Smith, who were drowned at Winchester Sunday night, were recov
ered by Hugh Brady, of Portland, before noon today. They were within a few
hundred feetof each other and only a short distance from where the boat cap

also carried a large quantity of mail and
a cargo composed mostly of fruit, eggs.
vegetables and meat for people who have
been frozen out of the world for more
than seven months and have been de
prived of fresh food, newspapers and
magazines during that time.
The first boat at Nome is the big event
of the year, and every person in the
camp who is able to go to the beach
will greet the steamer. All reports from
Nome during the Winter told of heavy
gold output and good prospects for the
Summer. Last year's gold crop was
small, owing to scarcity of water.
The Corwin will be followed by a dozen
other steamers, carrying their limit of
people and freight. From Nome, the Cor
win will go on a trading expedition along
the Bering Sea and Arctic shores of
Alaska and Siberia, bartering with the
Eskimos for ivory and fur.

A conference was to have been . held
with General Manager O'Brien at his
office yesterday, it is understood, but
Mr. O'Brien was too busy with affairs
of the road, following hig return to busi
ness after a brief but severe illness.
Mr. O'Brien would , not discuss the
situation further yesterday, other than
to express surprise at the statement of
Mayor Simon that the latter was await
ing a reply from the railroad company.
"I wrote Mr. Simon eight days ago,"
said Mr. O'Brien, "so that he is evident
ly in error when he says he Is waiting
to hear from us. At the outset we were
each ignorant of what the other party
to the compact wanted. Each was asked
to submit a. proposition.- I submitted
ours and I answered the last communi
cation of Mayor Simon eight days ago.
"I am quite willing this should be
made public. It would not be fitting,
though, that I should give the letter
out, for It waa on a matter concerning
the City Council. I understand Mayor
Simon has his own reasons- for not wish
ing to make the matter public and that
it has been considered by him and by the
special committee of the City Council ap
pointed. "However, as soon as Mayor Simon
thinks best to give it publicity, I am quite
agreeable. As far as the O. R. & N.
is concerned, we have made our posi
tion clear and anything further should
come from the other side."
So far, the bridge is being held up by
the dilatory movement of the Broadway
bridge bond suit in the Circuit Court
and until this suit is settled the bonds
for construction cannot be sold.
SUNDAY THEATER BLOCKED
Eugene Refuses Request but May
Boost Picture-Siiow License.
EUGENE. Or., May 10. (Special.) An
effort of the four moving picture thea
ters to Rain permission to run. on Sun
day resulted in not being allowed the
privilege, but may have their license
raised from 510 to $20 a quarter instead.
The desired action that had the boom
erang effect was brought forward by the
fact that practically all other valley
towns enjoy the privilege of the mild
amusements on Sunday. After reading
the proposed amendment. Councilman
Garret suggested that inasmuch as the
theaters were "making lots of money,"
the" license should be raised to $20 per
quarter and moved that the amendment
be referred to the judiciary committee
which means no more than that it will
never be heard of again. The electric
theaters in other towns find Sunday a
profitable day and many citizens here
have asked that they be run as they
prove an in-expensive pastime on Sunday
afternoon and evening and are said to
keep the youth away from worse places.
