STATE'S TESTIMONY IN
Oetinger's Hesitancy to Give Him
elf Cp or Confess May Arfect
Arg-ument of Self.
Defense.
The prosecution yesterday afternoon
conclude the Introduction of testl
monr In the case oX the state against
Krnest U Oetlnger. who Is under In
dictment for murder In the second de
erreo for the shooting to death of E.
tv. Mutch In Oetinger's aaloon at
First street on the night of January 11.
The first witness called by the de
fense waa Detective tay. who testified
that on the day of the homicide he
encountered Mutch and that the latter
Insisted on Day taking a drink. The
detective said that Mutch Insisted so
violently that he was forced to retort
angrily, pull himself away and
threaten arrest before he could escspe
from the saloon.
Judsre Oentenbein refused to allow
the defense to Introduce testimony that
Mutch senred three years In the Ore
gon penitentiary, starting with
after conviction on a charge of larceny
from the person The Judge's ground
was that violence such as Oetlnger
says he waa threatened with when he
shot and hilled Mutch probably did not
figure In the larceny and therefore the
fact that Mutch was an ex-convlet
would not give rise to apprehension In
the defendant's mind.
Seerifle Vteleaee Allewed.
The Judge has decided, however, that
he will permit evidence of specific
acts of violence m the part of the dead
man and also allow evdence showing
that Oetlnger had beard a story to the
effect that Mutch, under an assumed
name, had committed murder In Brit
ish Columbia. This evidence Is calcu
lated to assist the Jurors In deciding
which. Oetlnger or Mutch, was the ag
gressor. There were no eye witnesses
of the homicide and Oetlnger'a story
Is that he shot only after he had rea
son to believe that his life was In dan-
'"'he efforts of Deputy District Attor
neys KltsgeraM and Collier were di
rected yesterday toward:! disproving
Oetinaer's statement in his confession
that he shot Mutch after the latter
had come behind the bar. Tollce Cap
tains Keller. Baty and Moore and Rob
ert Toole, a newspaper reporter, testi
fied that marks on the f loor. discov
ered after the body was found In the
courtyard at the rear of the saloon,
hewed that the body had been
dragged from a point in front of the
bar through the rear door. The police
officials also said that Oetlnger for a
long time maintained that he did not
know how the dead body had come
therl Detective Hyde testified that
he saw Oetlnger nest day. the one on
which the confession wss secured, and
he aDDeared 111 and nervous.

decree for Schroeder by default are
made by Dolly Schroeder In an affi
davit filed In Circuit Court yesterday.
Mrs. Schroeder has learned that her
hue band should, under the law, pay
such sums as it might be necessary
for her to expend In preeenting a de
fense, and she asks thst the case be
reopened, and the decree set aside. She
Is represented by Attorneys Westbrook
ft Westbrook.
Mrs iSchroeder says 6chroder caused
her arrest In Seattle on a trumped-up
charge and had her brought back to
Portland. Schroeder. sa the com
plaint, consulted Attorney Crouch about
the divorce and afterward tried to
force her to sign an agreement not to
contest the suit. She'refused, but. at
Schroeder's request, went to the office
of Attorney Crouch, where she was
asked "a hundred and one" questions.
The attorney. Mrs. Schroeder says,
promised to notify her when the case
came up for trial, fine gave Crouoh
her pbone number but the decree was
allowed before she heard anything
more from the lawyer.
At first the woman says she went to
Attorney Dowley and told h1ra her
troubles, but said she could not pay
him for acting as her attorney. Dow
ley, Mrs. Schroeder says, told her that
she had no rights unless she hsd money
to psy court feee and otherwise finance
her defense. Later she was informed
by Dowley that he had consulted At
torney Crough. When Dowley was re
minded that he had not been retained
as her attorney, says Mrs. Schroeder.
the attorney said his fee hsd been psld.
She expresses the belief that Dowley
received money from Crouch.
Mrs Schroeder also says the divorced
husband tried to steal a diamond en
gagement ring from her finger while
She was asleep and that he went
through her room while she was In
Seattle attending a sick father and
stole storage cheeks and correspond
ence. The ownership of the ring Is
still to be decided In itlee Court.
In his divorce oomplaint Schroeder
made charge, against the character of
hla wife. There la no ground for these
charges, says Mrs. Schroeder.
