The name of Jamf Watson Webb.
dMcrtbed r Mrs. Haxxard as the
"pure-minded youth." and delegated by
the defendant aa a fit companion and
assistant aurse for Miss Clalra Wil
liamson, because of who.a death the
defendant; la on trial, waa broug-ht
premlnentr Into attention again to-
rwfl4 Weeaea A veba.
Webb waa accused by Miss Esther
Cameron, at on time a maid at tha
Haxxard sanitarium, and Mr. Amy
Mldseley. both of Portland. Or., with
attempting to bribe Miss Cameron not
to appear at the trial. The amount to
be, allowed for her absence waa tha
equivalent of four months- pay. Both
witnesses were called aa a part of the
state's rebuttal and were positive In
their testimony accuslnr Webb.
Miss Cameron testified that Webb
visited her In Portland three weeks be
fore the trial and ofrered her three or
four months' waxes if she would not
answer the subpena. She also testified
that after the trial beajan Webb visited
her at the hotel In Port Orchard, whera
the state's witnesses are star Inf. and
told her that he had offered only to
get her another position.
Wet-fa Act AUegje Bribery.
Miss Cameron told Webb that Mr.

Portland, told her Webb's action was
bribery, whereupon Webb said:
"You can call It that If you want."
lira, uidgely. who came from Port
land to the trial with Miss Cameron,
corroborated the latter'a teatlmony re
gsrdtng tha conrersatlon with Webb
at the hotel. Mrs. Mldgely waa present
when the conveisatlon took place.
Presentation of rebuttal testimony
occupied the entire day. Three phy
sicians were on tha stand to offaet tha
defense's contention that death waa due
to peritonitis or gastritis.
Although the testimony of each waa
positive against such a diagnose, evi
dence given by Ir. Ella Benge, of Be
anie, rurnlsbed a new chapter to tha
mass of expert testimony presented. Dr.
Serge. It was brought out. on tha stand,
had degrees of seven European and
American unlversttiea and is aa ex
pert in the performance of autopsies,
served a military career with tha Brit
ish army during tha Boer War and
later in Cor a.
Asrtaswr rtaataere CaeeatleeV
Ir. Eenge declared that with ailments
Indicated in the post-mortem report on
the body of Cairo Williamson the pa
tient must have been confined to a bed
ot chronic invalidism for at least two
years before death, that the findings in
tha aatopay were never exqualled In
her experience.
Witness said that letters writtea by
Miss Williamson Indicated the wealthy
English woman had been a hypochond
riac The last witnesses called were Miss
Dorothea Williamson, sister of tha dead
woman and her companion In the fast
ing treatment, and Miss Margaret Con
way, tha aged governess and nurse
brought from Australia by announce
ment of their serious- condition.
Wi ta A gala Stand.
Mlas Conway testified that with her
arrival at the Haxxard sanitarium, from
Australia, after the death ot Claire, she
found Miss Dorothea dangerously III.
represented to be hopelessly Insane, and
treated In an unfriendly and unfeeling
manner by the defendant.
Miss Williamson refuted, with direct
denial, that any food other than vege
table broths had been furnished her
sister, even up to ber last hour of life,
and that nothing else had been given
herself until the sister was dying.
Mt.'s Williamson further said that
Dr. Haxxard insisted that tha fasting
treatment be continued, declaring that
: death would likely follow It other food
was taken, as had been the case with
others she had treated. She also di
rected the patients not to notify their
friends, who might Intercede and affect
the benefit of the treatment.
. . Dortei" la Happy.
Mrs. Haxxard waa In good spirits to
day over a letter which she had Just
received from Dr. H. S. Tanner, who
won fame In 1880 by fasting Ct days
and who. at the age of 84. is living in
Loer Angeles. Dr. Tanner's letter, after
calling the medical doctors "enemies of
righteousness." said:
"I am ready to respond to your call
to appear In Port Orchard to assist you
on receipt of orders to do so. Keep
up your courage. I think I can punc
ture the gasbag of thla expert test!
raeay which has coma out In your trial.
Tan know I did this in IS SO. I am ach
ing for an opportunity to again hold
up the medical fraternity to tha de
rision of the world."
Mrs. Dorothy Keck, proprietor of the
grocery stre at which food supplies
for the Williamson apartment were
purchased, said that the whole bill did
not exceed IS. Ph did not remember
selling any articles except vegetables
for the apartment. She outlined a con
versation with Miss Nellie Sherman,
tha Haxxard nurse. In which the lat
ter described the condition of the Will,
lamson sisters aa deplorable, saying
they were unable to walk, had frequent
fainting spells and already had fasted
SO days.
Wosaaa Wltaeas Approached.
Dr. Augusta Brewer, an osteopath,
testified that Nellie Sherman bad
called an her and nrced bw not to ap
pear as a witness. Mlas Sherman told
hor.tbat Mrs. Haxxard directed that
vnll tha broths and fruit juices be
clven to the sisters. Dr. Brewer bad

EDWIK HAWLEY DIES
End Comes Unexpectedly to
Noted Railway Magnate.
$30,000,000 FORTUNE LEFT
Methods of Wizard Likened to E. II.
narrlman's Service for -Southern
Pacific as Aide to Col Us
P. Hontlngton Is Recalled.
NEW TORE, Feb. L Edwin Haw
ley, chairman of the Minneapolia
St, Louis system, a dominant spirit In
tho railroad world and likened by
many persons to tho late E. H. Harrl
man, died at 4 o'clock this morning at
his home In this city, a few hours after
ha had Jokingly characterized reports
that he waa dying as "greatly exagger
ated." Ho was (1 years old and leave
a personal fortune estimated at 810,
000,000. Death was due to heart failure and
acuta Indigestion. Mr. Hawley suf
fered an attack of the grip early In
the Winter and returned to his work
before he had entirely recovered. His
condition became worse and his physi
cians warned htm to take a complete
rest.
Mr. Hawley had been confined to
his home, 19 East Sixtieth street, for
several weeka, suffering from nervous
Indigestion and a general breakdown.
He refused to regard his condition aa
serious, however, and kept In close
touch with his business affalra and as
sociates. The confinement was foreign
to his industrious nature and he re
marked to a friend yesterday that he
expected to be down town at his of
fice in a few days. Reports of his
death, ha said laughingly, were like
Mark Twain's, "greatly exaggerated.
Nephew at Bedalde. .
Mr. Hawley was a bachelor and his
nephew, Walter 8. CrandalL a member
of his firm, was the only relative at
the deathbed of the millionaire. Fu
neral arrangements have not yet been
made.
With his associates. Hawley con
trolled the Chesapeake & Ohio, the
Iowa Central, the Minneapolia & St.
Louis, the Missouri. Kansas Texas,
the Hocking Valley, the Toledo, 6t.
Louis & Western and other lines. Quite
recently he was asked to undertake the
readjustment of the affalra ot tha Wa
bash Railroad.
Among the companies of which Haw
ley was a director, was the Colorado
tc Southern Railway. Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company, the Evansvllle Terra
Haute Railway, the Minneapolis & St.
Louis, the Iowa Central and the Hock
ing Valley Railroad.
The stock market was not affected by
the news of H&wley's death. Chesa
peake & Ohio went off two points, how
aver. Work La West Recalled.
Hawley's earliest railroad service be
gan In 1867, when he was a clerk on
the Erie Railroad. His important work
waa done between 1890 and 1902 In tha
service of the Southern Pacific, where
be was the right-hand man ot tha late
Collls P. Huntington. Tha so-called
Hawley system of railroads has been
built up within tha last 15 years.
Newman Erb, who was one of Haw
ley's closest business associates, said
today:
"Mr. Hawley had comprehensive plans
nnder way at the time of his death for
development of railroad prcp-rtlee in
which he was Interested. These plans
were known to his friends, and I be
lieve they will be carried on without
Interruption. So far as the Minneapo
lis A St- Louis and Iowa Central are
concerned, Mr. Hawley had relieved
himself of the handling of these prop
erties by placing tha work entirely In
my hands."
