14 THE MORNING OTCEGOXIAN", WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1910. A STORY OF " RETOLD KILLING TO Defendant Wefcb, on Trial for Life, Stares at Witnesses on Stand. TESTIMONY OF MANY GIVEN Pefrnse Admits Killing, bnt Say It Wis Dona la Self-Defense Plot to Slay ot Hatched in Spo kane, Says Attorney. Grewsome reminders of the tragedy enacted In the Grand Central Hotel the night of June 10 were presented t t'.ie Jury that is trying Jesse C. Webb for the mtirder of William A. Johnson in Judge Morrow's division of the State Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon. The trunk In which the body of the victim was found at the Union Depot, the shirt upon which rested the head of the victim, the loose shirt sleeve whirh tightly bound the dead man reck, the shattered Yemalns of a 'black Jack" with which, the state contends. V.'ebb beat Johnson to death, were urn org the evidences of the crime ex Mbited. While witnesses explained the con rectlon of these things wuh the killing, the defendant strained his ears to catch every word, at times Interrupt ing the proceedings to consult witn I his counsel, starlnir at the witnesses with seeming indifference, occasionally turning partially around to view the curious crowd in the courtroom, con stantly chewing gum and frequently casting anxious glances at the 12 men who hold his life In their hands. Jury Is Completed. The Jury was completed yesterday morning by the selection of M. H. Brown, a conductor, after Attorney Sen. ' naca outs. for the defendant, had ex ercised one of his peremptory chal lenges upon B. E- Fisk because he served on a jury mat convicted a man of murder several years ago. Upon motion of Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald, the Jury viewed the scene of the killing. Detective car penter was named by the court to ex plain the situation at the hotel and the condition In which room 119 since changed to No. lis was found when the offlcers first went there. The de tective referred to the doorknob found In a dresser drawer of the room and which the proprietor told him had been kept in room 109 the one occupied by Webb. In his opening statement. Prosecutor 'Fitzgerald explained that the state would attempt to prove that the de fendant and Mrs. Carrie Kersh. who represented herself to be Johnson's wife, by a plan hatched at Spokane, ought to secure the victim's money, which they knew to be about S2000, and that they came to Portland to gether, the woman professing an In fatuation for Johnson so that she might secure his confidence. After going to the hotel, he said, the two men drank heavily and evidently Johnson was drugged or poisoned, for In staggering In ins room he pressed against the electric button which called the bell boy. This was the last time he was seen alive by any of the state's wit- Besses. Story Is Recalled. "The state insists," said Mr. Flts- rerald. "that soon after this t "Webb drew a blackjack, with which he beat his victim until he was dead. Then, to complete his work, he tore the left sleeve from his shirt and bound it tightly about his neck. He placed the tiody in the trnnk and checked It to T-'orth Puyallup. Wash., hoping thereby lo destroy evidence of the crime. He removed the bloody bedclothes and placed them In a grip, took those from the bed In his own room and put them en Johnson's bed. and attempted to hide everything that would lead to the dis. covery of the tragedy. "Then he and this woman went on a Joy ride.' At Cliff Inn they met a wom an from another automobile party. He told her that he bad Just made a 'haul' of I1S00 for his "lady love.' It was a ferocious murder committed with pre meditation and malice, and for no other reason than to get this man's money." Briefly. Attorney Kouts outlined the defense .admitting the killing, but stat ing that Webb acted entirely in self defense. He denied that the murderous scheme was suggested at Spokane, say ing that Webb's Infatuation alone prompted him to come to Portland with Johnson and Mrs. Kersh, and declar ing that It Was not until they were on their way to this city that the two men met. The money was In the custody of the woman all the time, he argued, lie explained the presence of Johnson's watch in Webb's pocket at the time of Ills arrest by the allegation that John son borrowed $10 from Webb to spend in the saloons and that he gave him the watch for security. Men Quarrel. Is Declared. While alone tn their room, he said, the men quarreled about the woman, Johnson striking the other man first with his fists and then with the black jack. In retaliation, he continued, Webb secured the weapon and repeated ly beat Johnson. "I saw red," Webb stated, according to his attorney, "and do not know what I did after Johnson struck me." Finding that the man was dead. Webb's nezt concern was to dispose of the body, to find a way out of the position Into which he had been "forced." In the words of the attorney. He admitted the concealment in the trunk and the subsequent acts as stated by the prosecution. Following the opening statements, the court recessed and the witnesses were called. Frank Dene, deputy Coroner, stated that the night of June 20 he was railed to the Union Depot, where he found a group of men gathered about a trunk, which was lot.-r presented in the court as "Exhibit A." He opened the trunk, he said and found the body of a man with his face badly bruised and cov ered with blood. Dane pulled the trunk Into the cen ter of the room and opening it. ex plained to the Jury the position of the body. The bloodstains remained un disturbed on the lid. and the crimson spots on the Interior wails told where the body had rubbed as It was moved about. Bloody Shirt Produced. In further explanation Dane pro duced the shirt once worn bv John son, and the sleeve, torn from the same garment, which was knotted about his neck both covered witn blood. After removing the body from the trunk. Dane stated, be attempted to find a clew to the Identity of the dead man- " The initials W. A. J." on the shirt and the underclothing alone gave an indication of who he was. In ths meantime the police had traced the trunk to the Grand Central Hotel, where two mors trunks each equally as heavy as th on in which, the body J LI R had been contained were found. Other articles of clothing and a photograph of two men. one of whom was recognised as Johnson, and the remains of a "blackjack" were also found. In describing the wounds on John son's head. Dane stated that a three cornered bole appeared on either side, between the eye and ear. and that probing In the endeavor to determine whether these had been caused by a bullet revealed that ' the passage through the head was not continuous. Holes in Ilead Blade by Rod. The state will seek to show. It is said, that these holes In the head were made with the steel rod that runs through the handle of the "blackjack. "After I had returned to the morgue.' testified Dane. A. H. Davis, proprietor of the Willamette Hotel, at Stark and Sixth streets, came to our office and said that a man. woman and little boy, the male members of the party answer ing the description of those who had taken the trunk to the depot, had regis tered there. I at once went to th hotel. I found the boy asleep in bed in room 23. He very much resembled the photograph of a boy that I had seen among the effects in one of the trunks at the Grand Central. ram face powder, wrapped In a piece of pa per, had all the appearance and odor of similar material in the rooms at me Grand Central." Dane explained that he remained at the hotel waiting for the return of the other occupants of the room and that he assisted the officers In arresting Webb and Mrs. Kersh. On cross-examination he said that Webb repeatedly asked why he had been arrested and that the officers told him for "disorderly conduct." It was not until he was received at the police sta tion that he was told of the real rharirA as-ainst him. John W. Barrett, a reporter lor une Oregonian. testified that he was on duty at the police station on the night of the murder and that at ne re ceived the report of he finding of the trunk. He at once went to the union Depot. He pried open one end or tne lid of the trunk and saw the body of the man. He met Dane and assisted him in removins the body.. As soon as he learned from whence the trunk had come, Barrett went to the Grand Central Hotel where he gathered evidence of the crime from the personal effects left by cod ana Airs. Kersh in room 119. He worked on the case during the night, going to the Wil lamette Hotel where he found the boy and other evidence that the persons oc cupying these rooms were the same as those who had been at tne lirana -cen tral. He learned from the chauffeur that the man and woman In room 23 had gone automrblllng and by telephoning to sev eral roadhouees found that they had started back to Portland. He remained at the hotel with the police and took part in the arrests. At the Dolice station (Barrett ques tioned the woman who told him that sue went to the roadhouse with Webb under suspicion that her husband (Johnson) had gone there with another woman. She said that she expected to find him at the Grand Central, as she did not 6ee him during her automobile trip. Woman Informed of Killing. T don't think vou will find him there, Barrett Informed her, "as he Is dead. Ha has been killed." He then told her of the crime ana the enispiclons of the police that she and Webb were responsible ior it. a H. Stewart and C. M. Cady, ticxet agents at the Union Depot, stated that thev remembered the sale of the ticket to North Puyallup, as tne purcnaser nrst asked for a ticket to Olympla. The fact that he wanted to go to North Puyallup ftnr being unable to secure a ucxet ior Olympla cn an early train was unusual. t hAV said. Attorney John C. McCue, lor tne ae- fonsa. attempted to show, on cross ex amination, that the ticket agents could not fix the exact time during the after noon when the pale was made and that they could not specifically connect Webb with the purchase or tne ticaei. , Court then adjourned until :ju o ciock this morning.

The cnarge was made by Policeman Sims, of the motor- vcle squad, -wito told tne court mac Sharkey turned from Burnslde street nto Third at a high rate or epeea ana n the wrong side of the street, and that ho went from Burnslde to Dak treet at the rate of 20 miles an nour.

FEDERAL COURT TO TELL Attorneys for Celestial Cite Cases to Free Client and Government Con tends Bond for Smuggled Aliens Is Illegal. United States Courts for Oregon were yesterday asked to determine for them .selves the question of allowing bail for Chinese arrested for being In the coun tfy unlawfully. The question was raised in the case of Chin Wan, who was held at 10 o clock by Commissioner Cannon for deporta tion. At 10:30 o clock the case was ap- pealed and was In process of argument before Judge Bean. Chin Wah is the object of the test case of what Is alleged to be the under ground railroad system of running the blockade of the emigrant service be tween Canada and California, of which Portland Is only a substation. The real question now under discussion is said to be the system by which Chinese are rescued from imprisonment and later educated in the schools maintained in Chinatown to teach them how they may escape deportation. Decisions Are Cited. Attorneys Banks and Slnnott ap peared for the Celestial and presented an argument based on decisions in three different states, holding that if arrested after being found In the coun try. Chinamen were entitled to ball That Is the condition so far as Chin Wah Is concerned. He Is charged with having escaped the vigilance of guard! ans of the immigration ports, but was arrested In this city on a charge of be ing within the United States Illegally. For the Government Assistant United States Attorney Evans contended that the decisions of courts of co-ordinate Jurisdiction with the Oregon courts had held opposing opinions on the subject in controversy, the latest being that of Judge Hanford, of Washington, who refused to forfeit a ball bond because a Chinaman, Illegally In the United States, was without the right to fur nish such a bond. Judge Bean took the subject under advisement, and will render an opinion at a later date. "Third Degree'' Alleged. The controversy arose over the ef fort of the Government to hold Chinese In the County Jail Incommunicado. Af ter their, arrest an effort was made to keep them from communicating with Chinatown through the delivery of flowers, food or presents of any kind. It is asserted that when Chinese sus pects are arrested they were taken be fore the Immigration Inspectors at the Custom-Hou8e and quizzed as to their movements. Attorney Banks yesterday declared that they have been given the third degree. When they appeared later In the courts upon examination as to their qualifications to remain in the country, they have Invariably repudiated their alleged confessions, and produced wit nesses from San Francisco to prove their birth in the Chinese quarter of that city. An interesting feature of the argu ment yesterday was the recital by As sistant United States Attorney Evans of the experience of the Government In a recent case, where Inspectors reached certain named witnesses before the Chinese. The affidavits secured by the inspectors served to deport the men who had named the white men as their friends. ERIGSON REPORT WAITS ADMINISTRATOR. OF STOKKE ES- TATE FILES STATEMENT.

Completion of 10 or 15 Miles More Expected Before Winter Sewer Work Is Progressing. Fifty miles of hard-surface street Improvement have been compietea in the city since January 1. and City En gineer Morris said yesterday that be tween 10 and 15 additional miles prob ably would be completed before Winter sets In. This not only makes 1310 a banner year In Portland for stseet im provement of this nature, buf It has placed Portland In the lead of Pacific Coast cities, the City Engineer says, for that kind of improvement in any similar length of time. 'Engineering Journals published throughout the East." said Mr. Morris yesterday, "have given Portland the credit this year of having laid more hard-surface pavement, according to Its population, than any other city in the United States." Hard-surface street improvements completed for this year and contracts now pending, about 50 miles of which must be carried over until next year, make a total of 110 miles. With 60 miles of hard-surface street already contract ed for, next year promises to break even this year's record for street work. Of the 50 miles of street work com pleted this year in Portland. 38 miles have been accepted from the contrac tors by the city, and the remainder forms portions of districts, not all of which have been completed. Tlrese larger districts are suburban tracts. which cannot be accepted until the work of the entire district is finished. While the city has been rushing its hard-surface street improvements It has also been making great progress In laying sewers. This is demonstrated by the following figures furn'shed by the City Engineer yesterday: Sewers under contract January 1, 1910, J199.333; sewer contracts let be tween January 1 and October 6, $681, 203. Sewers accepted between Jan uary 1 and October 6, $514,423: sewers under contract October 6, $366,113. "Hobble Coat" Approved for Horse Show Afternoon Style Association Sug Kcmtm Trial of Kvw Garment. u NDERSTANDING that society is un certain what sort of wraps may be worn at the approaching Horse Show, the Afternoon Style Association yes terday appointed a committee to view the windows of Portland stores which are offering views of "suggestions." The committee. It is believed, will nthuslastlcally approve the "hobble coat," which is being shown down town, and In order that wearers of the garment may seoure a "line" on the proper length of stride which may be made Inside the garment, the ring master will be asked to place hobbles on an educated thoroughbred horse and show off his various gaits. After watching the graceful maneuvers of a horse with its feet and knees tied to gether, there will be no further excuse for awkward handling of the skirts or coats. Hobble clothes are not recommended for general use in riding either style of saddles. As economy is a watchword of the Afternoon Style Association, and its members are also ambitious to keep up with the very latest In styles, it is suggested by the committee that an Inexpensive bobble skirt, particularly appropriate to the Horse Show, may be made at lome. Use the old horse blanket. Cut it in two the short way. Thus material Is secured for a change of skirts. Attach a belt to the severed end. After clasping the garment about the sylph-like figure, reach down and buckle the strap which formerly held the blanket la place on the body of the animal. By the punching of plenty of holes In the strap, any sized hobble may be secured. It is also suggested that all hus bands who grow restless waiting for the shows to end may be hobbled out side.
