ARSGNTRIALHALTS;
ATTORNEY'S CASE UP
Glen Hoover, of Seattle, Ac
cused by District Attorney
of Compounding Felony.
COURT CENSURE IS SEVERE
fcocialiM. Lawyer Defending Men
Accused or Setting Fire to Ment-.
fee Mill Admits Sending
McDaniels Out of State.
Taking of testimony in the arson
trial of Tom Patterson and Hugh Priest
was brought to a dramatiq conclusion
yesterday, when Circuit Judge Iavls
severely censured Glenn Moover. the
Seattle Socialist lawyer, "who is de
fending the two men. Hoover had just
taken the witness stand and admitted
that he paid Charles McDaniels money
to get out of the state, believing that
McDaniels was the man who had set
fire to the I B. Menefee Lumber Com
pany's shingle mill on the night of
i'"ebruary IS.
"AVhat was your' motive In getting
McDaniels out of the state?" asked
Judge Davis, interrupting Hoover's
atory from the witness stand.
'Well, your honor," replied Hoover,
"to explain my motives I will have
to detail some conversations which
would not be admissible as evidence
in the case."
"You .can tell me in three words.
Was it your intention to get this man
out of the jurisdiction of this court?"
"No, it was not," replied Hoover. He
hesitated before continuing. I had
two motives. One was to keep Patter
son and Priest from breaking their
promise of secrecy with McDaniels.
The other was to keep an honest work
man with a family from going to the
penitentiary."
. Court Berates Attorney.
"Mr. Hoover," said Judge Davis.
must say that your motives were not
proper for any officer of the court- It
is very reprehensible. If you were
member of the bar of this state I would
suspend you from further practice. Hut
you are here from another state by
courtesy and, well, you may stay for
this cafe."
District Attorney Evans then inter
rupted.
"This man has said that he knew
the man whom he helped to escape
was guilty of the crime of arson. To
help a Kuflty man to escape is com
pounding a felony. There is a law
specificallv covering this."
"That matter will be referred to the
District Attorney." said Judge Davis.
"He is charged with enforcing the
laws."
Mr. Evans then asked that the jury
be excused while the charges against
Hoover were threshed out in court-
"This line of testimony," he said.
"could easily be prejudicial to the de
fendants. I don't want the jury to
think that because Mr. Hoover has done
something wrong that these two young
men are necessarily guilty. They are
not responsible for the acts of their
attorney.
Allegred Confession Related.
These developments in the arson trial
came as a climax to a number of near
sensations during the day. In the morn
ing HUKh Priest was called to the wit
ness stand and testified that Charles
Mcli'n!els. the missing witness, had
set the lire. Priest said he met McDan
iels on the evening of February 16 just
after the mill closed. McDaniels said.
"I pulled the trick."
"i asked him what he meant." said
Priest, "and he said he had set the mill
on fire. I asked him how he did it and
he pulled a bottle out of his pocket. I
put a stick in the bottle and pulled it
out and it burst into flame. Home or it
(tot on my hand and that is how my
hand was burned. I told the detectives
I had been burned with acid and with
gasoline, so as not to get McDaniels
Into trouble."
Patterson was called to the witness
stand and corroborated Priest's story in
almost every detail.
Labor unions were openly broujrht
into the trial for the first time during
the testimony of Patterson.
Valoa Order Denied.
"Is it not a fact. Mr. Patterson,"
asked Deputy District Attorney Collier,
"that W. H. Reed, secretary of the
Fhincleweavers' Union in Seattle, told
you that he was tired of settling; strikes
by beatinp up scabs? Didn't he send
you and McDaniels and Priest down
here to put the University mill out of
business?"
"No, he did not." answered Patter
son. Patterson admitted, however, that
P.eed had given him and McDaniels $6
each to pay their railroad fare from
Seattle to Portland.
.T. G. Brown, president of the Shinsrle
weavers nnion. was called to the wit
ness stand and testified as to the good
character of Patterson and Priest. He
further clouded the mystery surround
inc the whereabouts of Charles Mc
Daniels by exhibiting a letter from Mc
Daniels dated "Junjrletown. 'ff'ash.,
March 3." The letter was a request
that Brown take care of McDaniels'
wife and family until he could appear
again.
On cross-examination Mr. Collier
brought out the fact that Brown had
been convicted of a felony 21 years airo
and had served a sentence in the peni
tentiary at Wallii Walla. When he
asked Brown why he had come to
Vortland for the trial. Brown said he
had .-oine to get "general information"
fr the union.
Kraplsyers' Association Klxarr.
The name of the Employers' Associa
tion was brought Into the trial also
for the first time yesterday. During
Brown's cross-examination A. W. Laf
ferty. ex-Representative in Congress,
who is helping Hoover defend the two
men. interrupted.
"If the state will inform us who Is
riving: them all this Information about
the movements of men ut Port Angeles,
Wash., we wilt not object to its in
troduction." said Mr. Ijafferty.
"All riftht." retorted Mr. Collier.
"We'll give you a moving picture of
it."
"It looks very much like the hand of
fha Employers' Association," said Mr.
Lafferty.
Mr. Hoover then said that evidence
brought out by the state made it neces
sary f-"r him to take the witness stand
himself. After being sworn he told
hla story of inducing Harry Harris and
Charles McDaniels to leave the state
until the arson trial was over. He ad
mitted paying both men money for
their expenses. In most details his
story corroborated that told by Harris
Thursday.

Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley star
in the play, which, incidentally, gives
many evidences of Miss Weber's di
recting abilities.
For the purpose of the oil-field fire,
many acres of oil land had to be pur
chased and deliberately fired. It is
impossible that the fire could have
been "faked." This big fire supplies
the play with that most unquestioned
"punch" producers seem to find so
necessary in the film business.

Why It Is a Favorite
There are good reasons- why Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is a favorite
with the mothers of young children.
Read what one of them says of it:
"There could ba no better medicine than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My chil
dren were all sick with whooping
cough. One of them was in bed, had a
high fever and was coughing up blood.
Our doctor gave them Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the first dose eased
them, and three bottles cured them,'
says Mrs. R. A. Donaldson, of Lexing
ton, Miss. This remedy is a success.
You will find nothing better for whoop
ing cough. It contains rro opium or
other narcotic. It only costs a quarter.
Constipation and Indigestion
"I have used Chamberlain's
Tablets and must say they are
the best I have ever used for
constipation and indigestion.
My wife also used them for in
digestion and they did her
good," writes Eugene S. Knight,
WUmingtoxit N. C
