The Jury which la to try Mrs. Kersh for complicity In the, brutal killing of William A. Johnson, whom she, says aha was to marry as soon s she secured a divorce from Kersh, was sworn Just before noon yesterday, and after the openln statements were completed at 4 o'clock In the afternoon, was taken to Third and Flanders streets, to the New Grand Central Ho ld to view the scene of the murder. No testimony will be taken today, as Judge Morrow said he desires to Sire each of the Jurymen a chance to attend to business affair. Iwputy IMstrlrt Attorney Fltwteralrt. represent Inc the state, said also that be de sired a little time In which to round tin his witnesses, as the Impaneling; of the Jury had taken considerable time, and the wItneKses did not know when they would be needed. Mr. Krrh Weep In Court. Ieputy Fltiaerald. In his openlrfs; statement, went carefully Into the his tory of the murder case, becjinnlnc wtih the time Mrs. Kersh became ac quainted with Webb. Attorney Fonts went bark of that, and dwelt upon the aad part of Mra. Kersh's life. As her mind was carried back to her early life, she burst Into sobs and tears, tne first time since the trial began. . She wept at frequent Intervals during; her attorney'a statement, and was trem bling violently when recess was de clared, and she was taken back to Jail. "The state has outlined to you a clear case of statutory crime." began Attorney Fouls, "but this Is about all the state will be able to Move against this defendant. Because the state has Injected Into this case these matters concerning the private life of this de fendant, we Intend to be fair with you. and to reveal to you the entire private lire of Mrs. Kersh. and we ask you In turn to be fair with us and to over look these weaknesses of human na ture, and to take Into consideration the treatment this defendant baa undergone since her early year I.lf of Hardship Reviewed. "This defendant wa born In Chriev liana. Norway, and came to the United femes as a young girl with her foster parents. Soon afterward they died, and she was thrown out Into the world with out friends or anyone to assist her. After a few years' work as a mrvant girt, she became acquainted with a man earned Kersh. They moved from Salt L-ake City, where they had been living and working, to Butte. Mont. A child was bom to them. It grew to the age of i years. nd during all this tiro she lived with Kersh. and he refused to give her child a came. After four years of this kind of a life. Mrs. Kersh. feeling In her motiioria heart that this child should lave the protection of a fatlirr, she did succeed In prevailing upon this man to marry her. She continued living with Mm not for love of hun. but for the sake of tills baby boy." Her Mrs. Kersh broke Into suppressed o! "After two or three yeans." continued Attorney Fonts, "their married life be came s unbearable that she took refuge In the bora of this co-d fenant. J. P. Webb. Soon afterward ahe was com pelled, becausn of Kersh's treatment, to go to the hospital, and after her opera tion she returned to Webb's home. "While she was In the hospital her bunband had taken the child. Whether M was becauae Webb liked thin woman, or whether It was because of his sym pathy for bar, or whatever It be, for we will show that tip to that time there had been no unlawful relation, he as sured her In stealing her boy. lie was not with hr at the time, but he kept watch while she secured the child. She remained in Vancouver. B. C. only on night, sti didn't live there with Webb. fP.e took the first boat for Ban Fran cisco to gt away from her husband, so he could not again tak the child from ner. Webb's Infatuation Told. -Webb was) somewhat infatuated with her. and wrote to her. and in a week or o went to Nelson. B. C. Their corres pondence lasted a couple of months. Then ah heard, through an acquaint ance of her husband, that he wa in San Francisco, piw again became fear ful lest he taks the child. She was work ing In Oakland. When told he wa making a atrenuou effort to learn her address, she turned to Webb, the only man to whora she could turn. "Whether It a a In Webb's heart to be rid of Johnson Is a question for you to decide. Up to the time they left the train her Mr. Kersh had had no oppor tunity to tell Johnson of her relation with Webb. Because of bar physical' con dttlon It la doubtful If any woman la the world would have told her prospec tive T us band such a thing aa this. -Although the bell boy says Webb wa assigned first to room 107 at the hotel, and later to W. the hotel clerk will testify that Webb was assigned to room 10 when they registered, and the register show no erasures. Sho was asleep er doling shea Webb and Johnson visited the City Park. After she returned from a moving picture snow she waa told by Webb that Johnson was probably out drinking. She said when arrested she thought Johnson might -be at one of the roadhouses. and went to find him. Perhaps she did think so. for Webb Intimated It to her." Stale Mention Johnson' $0000. Deputy Fitzgerald's outline of the eas waa similar to that before the Webb Jury. He said Mr Kersh met Johnson, found him to have t20C0 In cash which he acquired from the sale of property, and while living with Webb began to. plan with him to rid Johnson of his money. "She Induced him to leave Spokane for Portland or San Francisco," aaid Mr. Fitzgerald. "Webb was also preparing to leave Spokane. The circumstances show Webb and Mrs. Kersh were in collusion. Her trunks were in Webb s room and he got her baggage aad his own taken down to the depot, and paid the expressman. He boarded the same train. He traveled under the flcUtloua nam A- C Power. Webb introduced Johnson to his pint flask of whisky, and Johnson Introduced Mrs. Johnson. Webb and the woman pretended they were not acquainted." Speaking of the bloody trunk. Mr. Flts gerald aaid: "They threw this trunk In the baggage-car. but the messenger re fused to take it, because he aaid the train didn't stop at North Puyallup. It was wheeled back on the truck. One of the employes noticed the blood oozing out. and took off the rope. Then he found a key to nt and. lifting the ltd. saw a man s body was Inside. He noti fied the Coroner and the police. "When arrested this woman said Webb was a stranger, that she met him at the hotel that morning. She said she and Webb had been at the roadhouse hunt ing Johnson. They found Johnson gold watch and fob on Webb, and he could give no explanation, but when he ha had time to think It over he said Johnson borrowed 110 of him. and Insisted upon giving htm the watch In exchange. "Mrs. Kersh had this roll of bills in her stocking when she was arrested. Johnson had drawn the money from the bank In Spokane. It wa . his entlr balance." besioeSsIt POINT It CLING M ADE OREGOX ELEC TRIC TRAINS MUST STOP. Kiccotlve Board Frame Franchise Amendment for Line on Tenth and Salmon. Resident along the proposed line of the Oregon Electric Railway Company on Salmon and Tenth streets won a vic tory over the company yesterday when the Executive Board agreed to recom mend to the Council that the company's franchise should provide that car must top at all street corners where pas sengers want to get on or off. and that no more than two car b permitted in a train. The Executive Board. In ac cordance with the recommendation of Ita commute on streets, placed th value of the franchise at S00 a year. The franchise a originally Died with the Council, made no provision for stop ping at any street corner, and thlei waa the one serious objection the property owners along th proposed route made to it. When the franchise was before the street committee of the Council, a large number of property owner ap peared and made peruana protests. At that time an effort was made to force the company to run Ita line on am street nearer the river, but the com mittee over-ruled the objections, and sent the franchise to the Executive Board tor valuation. At the meeting of the street committee of the Board, th resident ot the .street again appeared In large num bers snd made another vigorous protest. The committee refused to take action at the meeting, but later decided to meet th request of th residents, a far as possible. The report of the committee, when presented to the Executive Board yes terday, provided that the company should be required to make stops In various districts through which the cars passed, but It was not suggested that tops ahould be made at every street. J. F. O'Shea. a member of the Board, offered an amendment to the report of the committee, in which It was pro vided that the company must stop. If need be. at every street to let on and off psssengrrs. whether the car ahould be outbound or Inbound. Hlo amendment also provided that passengers over th street named should not be required to pay more than a t-cent fare, and that not more than two car be run together over the route. The member of th treet committee readily approved the amendment offered by Mr. O'Shea. and the Board then adopted the report as amended. The maWer of finally granting thsj franchise will be considered at the next meeting of the Council. As the Execu tive Board has) no power to accept the franchise or provide for changea In It, other than to fix a valuation on It. the Council alone must decide the changea suggested by the Board. The franchise I for a road on Salmon street from Front atreet to Tenth, and on the latter atreet north to Flanders.
