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.

BAIL CASE PUZZLES
May Chinese Suspects Supply
Bail, Is Question.
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.

PAVING RECORD LEADS
FIFTY MILES COMPLETED TN
PORTLAND THIS YEAR.
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
