ters were heirs to $500,000.

firm step, looking the picture of health,
with rosy cheeks and bright blue eyes.
Hi pc 1. 1 months ago she was removed
from Mrs. Hazxard's Olalla Institution

but distinct tone and with a decided
Jurors closely, shifting her gaze now
and then toward Mrs. Hazzard. who sat
between her leading counsel and her
husband. Samuel O. Hazzard. an ex
Army officer.
Miss Williamson said she waa bora

that Claire waa four years her junior.
- Her father, an officer In the British
army, died when she was 4 years old
and her mother died 14 years later.

Dorothea said that at that time she
weighed 10 pounds and her sister
weighed 1-t pounds. They were pre
paring to separate for a long journey,
Claire going to London and Dorothea
returning to Australia. In order to
"set themselves up" for the trip they
decided to take treatment under Mrs.
Hazzard. They arrived la Seattle Feb
ruary 24. 1911. aad the next day called
on Mrs. Hazzard.
"Mrs. Hazxard was very cordial." said
Miss Williamson. ""We told her that
we planned to sail soon and thought a
two or three-weeks' treatment would
be good before the sea, voyage. We had
no Intimation that the treatment would
result In the breakdown that overtook
tie. We arranged to pay Mrs. Hazzard
f4 a month each for treatment.
"We wanted Mrs. Hazzard to exam
ine us, but she said a physical exam I
nation could not be made until the
fastlr.g had proceeded for some time.
She gave ua a treatment the first day.
She pounded ua on the back and ham
mered us about the head with her
nsts."

The greater part of the day was
taken up with the c roes-ex ml nation
vf John Herbert, of Portland. Or, nn
rl of the Williamsons. It was
brought out that Mr. Herbert was not
shown Claire Williamson's body until
after the funeral and when he saw It
he told Mrs. Hazxard It did not look
like Claire.
"Did you mean you had doubts that
the body In the coffin waa that of
Claire Williamson?" he waa asked.
I certainly was In doubt whether It
waa her body." said Herbert. "It did
not look like Claire. The hair waa
lighter brown than hers and her face
and hands were changed."
Others Kite .Vet filrl.
Mr. Herbert said he spoke to Mrs.
llaxzard of this and that she led him
away from the coffin. He said that
others who knew Claire and saw the
body agreed with him that the body
did not look like Claire.
When asked why he did not begin
an investigation to ascertain if the
body had been replaced with another,
Mr. Herbert said:
"This waa at a funeral service held
In memory of my niece. I knew she
was dead, and whether the body In the
coffin was hers or another waa Imma
terial at that time. I waa too distresses
to think of any Investigation and at
that time I had no suspicion my niece
had met with anything like foul play.
At that time It made no difference to
me whether there waa any body there."

Colonel Watterson Slay Have Good

by Responsible. Person, He
Xow Declares.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The Wilson-
Harvey episode brought forth today,
simultaneously with the arrival of Colo
nel Henry Watterson, a statement by
William F. McCombs. campaign man
ager for Woodrow Wilson, declaring
that "the tears that axe being shed ever
the passing Incident are wrung from
those who have hitherto been the most
conspicuous opponents of Governor Wll
son."
Colonel Watterson, who will be here
several days In connection .with the
work of the Perry Memorial Commis
sion, read the McCombs statement as
well as one made today at Nashville,
Tenn., by Judge Robert Ewlng, but do
ollned to comment on either. Judge
Ewlng, who is related by marriage both
to Governor Wilson and Colonel Wat
terson, said that Colonel Harvey re
quested a frank answer when he asked
Governor Wilson whether he felt that
his candidacy was being prejudiced by
the support of Harpers' Weekly, and
that Wilson's answer was frank, ao-
oordlngly.
Watterson View Agreed To,
'As to the Wilson matter," said
Colonel Watterson tonight, "I have
nothing to add to what has already
been said, unless it be seriously chal
lenged by soms responsible person.
Then I may have a good deal to say.'
The statement Issued by Mr. Me
Combs follows:
With reference to the alleged Wll
son-Harvey incident, it seems to me
that Colonel Watterson haa said In
statement all that needs to be said. It
appears there that from as far back
as last October, he himself suggested
to Governor Wilson that Colonel Har

might be Injurious and that he probab
ly told Colonel Harvey himself the
same thing. It would seem that Colonel
Watterson had convinced the Governor
of the truth of his opinion, and had at

WILDE SIDE DROPS
3 NON-UNION MEN
State Uses First Per

JURY MAY BE IN WEDNESDAY

of Attorney for Defense.
JUDGE ILL, TRIAL HALTS
Questioning of Veniremen to. Resume
Monday Malarkey Attacks News
paper Reports Court Repeats
Warning; to Venire.
Manlfestly non-union men are not de
sired by the defense as Jurors In the
trial of Louis J. Wllde. counsel for the
defendant In exercising three of Its six
peremptory challenges having already
excused only artisans who admitted In
their examination as Jurors that they
did not carry union cards. Two of
these challenges were used by the de
fense yesterday while the state excused
another of the Jurors passed for cause,
employing the first of the three per
emptories to which It Is entitled. If
the remaining five available peremp
tory challenges are used, three by the
defense and two by the prosecution,
the Jury will not be completed before
Wednesday.
Prospective Jurors excused through
peremptory challenge yesterday were:
C D. Ramsdell, a non-union contracting
carpenter, 4304 Fortieth avenue South
east, and S. C. Baker, non-union car
penter employed in the Southern Paciflo
carshops, 967 East Flanders street, both
by the defense, and D. W. Fairclough,
aaloonman. 469 East Couch street, by
the prosecution.
Malnrkey's Tenant Dropped.
In addition to the foregoing three,
Louis Haertleln, excused peremptorily
by the defense Thursday afternoon, la
a non-union molder. Fairclough, the
first man to be challenged peremptorily
by the prosecution. Is a tenant In a
building In which Dan J. Malarkey,
chief counsel for the defense, is part
owner. Fairclough also was the first
of the original 12 prospective Jurors to
be passed for cause by both sides.
The places of the three Jurors re
moved through peremptory challenges
yesterday were supplied by the follow
ing veniremen who were temporarily
accepted by prosecution and defense:
Charles A. Kalus, retired, 140 East
Forty-seventh street; J. B. Tanner,' ac
countant, 520 Weldler street, and C. G.
Paine, 1641 Olln street. Mr. Baker, one
of the two men excused by the defense,
had only been added to the 12 men tem
porarily In the Jury box at the opening
of the morning session yesterday.
State's Plan I'pheldV
With the acceptance of Baker the
Jury box was again filled and an argu
ment arose between counsel as to the
plan that should be followed in the
use of peremptory challenges. Mr.
Malarkey, for the defense, Insisted that
each side should excuse a Juror alter
nately. Judge Kavanaugh, however.
sustained the contention of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fitzgerald that . since
the defense under the law was allowed
double the number of peremptories con
ceded the state, it should use two chal
lenges to one by the prosecution until
the legal number had been exhausted
Mr. Malarkey then announced that
Ramsdell, non-union carpenter, would
be excused under the second peremp
tory of the defense.
Special Prosecutor Clark labored
hard to get rid of Charles A. Kalus,
who had been passed by the defense.
on a challenge lor cause, contending
that since Kalus was called as a Juror
in a special venire last Summer, he was
disqualified from Jury sorvtce on the
regular panel at this term of court.
The challenge was resisted by attor
neys for the defense, who cited authori
ties In support of their contention that
the reason assigned was not sufficient
tc disqualify Kalus.
Bankers Believed Dishonest.
On suggestion of counsel, after the
point had been argued at length, court
took a recess until 2 V. M. to enable
the lawyers to consult other authori
ties. When court reconvened, Mr. Flts
gerald withdrew the challonge, ques
tioned the venireman further and fin
ally passed him for cause.
Questioning of Mr. Kalus developed
the fact that for many years he was a
Washington County farmer, removing
to Portland 27 years ago, where for 10
years he conducted a saloon at Tenth
and Couch streets. The only Informa
tion possessed by the venireman of the
pending case- was what he had gained
by reading the newspapers, although
he expressed the belief that "there was
not an honest man In the entire bunch
of officers" in the suspended Oregon
Trust & Savings Bank. Interrogated
as to the amount Wilde was alleged to
have embezzled, Kalus said: "If Wllde
got $100,000 out of that bunch he was
welcome to It"
Saloenman la Challenged.
In the cross-examination of Kalus by
Mr. Clark, the venireman explained that
the only business transaction he ever
had with Mr. Malarkey, of counsel for
the defense, was the sale of a glass of
