' duce the confessions, on point of law,
' without the introduction at that time
'.' by the defense of testimony seeking
to show that Roberts was and Is men-
... tally incompetent. Such testimony
by the ruling of the court, must be
reserved for presentation wnen the
'' defense has its own case in progress.
Plana Are Revealed.
!! In the two confessions, one supple
mentary. the defendant Roberts Is
auoted as revealing talk and plans ol
the Centralia "wobblles" prior to
: Armistice day, their resolve to arm
J: themselves and resist any raid upon
2 the hall and their subsequent stra
V, tcgical programme of stationing rifle
men in the hall. In the Avalon hotel
and other buildings on the opposite
side of Tower avenue and on the dis
tant summit of Seminary hill.
The confession asserts that these
plans were carried out. Roberts, witb
Bert Bland, fellow defendant, and Ol
Hanson, yet uneaptured, stationed
themselves on Seminary hill and
.' watched the patriotic parade marcb
up Tower avenue and turn to retract
its course. They were to fire when
they heard shots. As the parade
passed, unmolested. Bland, with an
oath, is said to have wished that
trouble would start.
Kaeape Means Debated.
The shots started, they could not
determine from what building. There
upon the riflemen upon the hill
opened fire, runs the confession. They
' saw the uniformed marchers break
and rush the hall. In the confession
Roberts says that he does not know
from what he saw whether the dis
tant first shot was fired before or
'. i after the hall was attacked.
"I'll tell the truth now and what I
saw," runs the statement. "It may
be used against me but I cannot help
; it. I saw the soldiers run for the
building when the shooting started.
Of course that wouldn't clear me or
; anybody else."
The riflemen on the hill, so the con
' fession reads, debated means of escape
; and biding. Bland and, Hanson were
'. agreed upon making their way to
; Hanson's cabin, near the headwaters
of the Hanaford river. Roberts
! . wanted all three to go to the vicinity
of his home near Grand Mound, where
ranchers might be appealed to for
aid in hiding. He quarreled with his
companions, who said they did not
trust him, so the confession says, and
made his way to his own home, spend
ing one night in the timber. Twl
days afterward he gave himself up.
Ballet Strikes A a to.
Three important witnesses called
this afternoon by the state were A.
. R. Frisbie, Centralia: Mrs. Beatrice
1 Charbonneau, Centralia, and Bert G.
Clark, attorney of Seattle.
That he was .the occupant of an
automobile parked on Tower avenue
during the parade, diagonally opposite
the Avalon hotel, and that a bullet
passed through the car and bedded
itself in a folding seat on which a
child was seated, was Frisble's open
ing testimony. Ha believed the missile
to have come from the direction of
the Avalon and described its course
as downward.
How she rented a room to Commo
dore Bland and John Lamb, two of
tho defendants, just before noon on
Armistice day, was testified to by
Mrs. Charbonneau, landlady of the
Arnold hotel. The men had told her
that they wished to view the parade
and were assigned to an upper room.
The state alleges that several shots
were fired from the Arnold. The de
fense has announced that it will re
call Mrs. Charbonneau to testify for
the defendants.
Bert G. Clark, lawyer, of Seattle,
is an expert on firearms and rifle
fire. He testified on the identification
of calibers of various exhibits intro
duced by the state and concerning
bullet holes in buildings on Tower
avenue. One of these, he said, he
peered through to determine its
Jecte-J to extended cross-examination
6y the defense. In the case of Clark.
however, Vanderveer questioned for
some time regarding trajectories, cali
bers and makes of rifles, evincing a
Knowledge of the subject scarcely sec
ondary to that of the witness.
Contention over the admissibility
of Roberts' confession as evidence in
troduced by the state brought about
the most stubbornly waged legal bat
tie of the entire case thus far, with
the defense losing by the ruling of
judge Wilson.
At the beginning of the case the
I. vv . vv. counsel had announced tnat
In the instance of Loren Roberts the
defense would be insanity, and that
he would call an alienist to examine
the prisoner and testify regarding his
competency. , .
Thus it was the court was re
tarded two hours this morning while
Ir. Arthur P. Calhoun, alienist, of
Seattle, member of the American
Legion . and friend and , fraternity
brother of Warren O. Grimm, made
the examination. It was conducted in
Roberts' cell. .......
, Confession Held Invalid.
With the opening of court; follow
ing. the testimony of A, C. Baker,
Olympia, deputy county clerk .of
Thurston countycalled by the state
as the stenographer who took and
transcribed Roberts' statement of No
vember 17 in the Thurston county
sheriff's office,. Vanderveer argued
for the admission at that time of
the testimony of Dr. Calhoun to de
termine the mental, status of the de
fendant.
"The state is tendering the tes
Imony of the defendant taken down
by a stenographer, it. is true, just
as surely as though he were seated
in that witness chair," asserted the
defense, citing the statute prescrib
ing that Insane are incompetent to
be witnesses. -
""An insane person cannot be per
mitted to manage his own business,"
aaid Vanderveer. . "Can . he be per
mitted to give away his own life?
"They, the state, are in this posi
tion assuming' that we are right
that they are offering an insane man'
word, his act, as a ground to take bis
life away Irom himl"
The L W. W. counsel declared Rob
erts' mental capacity to be that of a
10-year-old boy. As he made the
statement Roberts' pale and nervous,
gnawed at his finger nails and
grinned at his attorney. Bert Bland,
defendant, laughed and whispered a
comment 'to Eugene Barnett, de
fendant.

Hole rued aa Sight.
"I sighted through that hole." testi
fied Clark, "just as you would through
an aperture sight and the line led to
an upstairs window in the Avalon
hotel."
Another strong bit of circumstanc
was added to the 6tate'ecase when
Clark wat asked to identify the cali
ber of the battered bullet which
killed Grimm. The witness drew out
an empty 38-55 caliber cartridge case
and with the flick of thumb and fin
ger fitted the missile into place H
testified that the death bullet was
of that caliber.
Vanderveer declared that the de
Tense will admit that Grimm was slain
by a rifle of that caliber, to which
Abel retorted that this would-be but
the first of many similar admissions
that the tate would force.
Clark's testimony thus fits with the
attempted identification of a .38-53
caliber rifle found in a field near Cen
tralia two weeks after the tragedy.
The defense has denied all knowledge
of the ownership of this weapon, or
that it ever belonged to any of the
defendants. It has been admitted la
evidence by the court only with the'
understanding that the state will
complete identification. The staU
contends that it was this rifle which
Killed Warren O. Grimm, and that il
was fired from the Avalon hotel.
Cae Fitted Perfectly.
The witness testified also that the
bullet which killed Arthur McElfres
was a .22 high-power caliber, by the
same test used in the previous demon
stration. "This fits perfectly," said Clark
thrastln the bullet, one of the state's
exhibits, into a shellcase of a .22-high-over
caliber.
Adjutant-General Harvev J. Moss,
called by the state, testified concern
ing the caliber and probable direction
of a bullet which lodged in the co
operative store. '

Innanity, Plea of Defense.
We offer to prove," said Vander
veer, "by the testimony of Dr. Arthur
P. Calhoun that Loren Roberts is
and was on November 17 an insan
person, and not competent to be a wit
ness for or against himself."
It is in questions of law that W.
H. Abel, special counsel for the state,
finds his firmest, most assured foot
ing. He rose confidently to reply,
citing case after case in support o
his contentions, and declaring that
the "insanity of Loren Roberts is as
sumed by counsel for the purpose of
argument." The statements made by
Vanderveer, he charged, exceeded the
facts related in chambers.
There Is no rule of reason or
logic," asserted Abel, ' that would ex
elude this confession because of th
fact that insanity is suspected.
The question is whether you are
entitled, he addressed Vanderveer,
to break into the state's case, and In
advance to undermine a damaging
confirmation.
'I regret," he continued, "that coun
sel has not looked up the law before
arguing his points, because, perhaps,
all the wisdom and logic In the world
is not voiced by counsel."
Proof la Demanded.
Referring to numerous court deci
slons, Mr. Abel demonstrated that
where a confession is not procured by
promise or duress, it may be used
against the defendant. He said tha
claim of insanity, as such, was itself
susceptible of proof through the
troduction of the confession.
"There is no need of citing author!
fies," interposed Vanderveer, "because
I most cheerfully concede
'That the law is against you,'
flashed Abel.
That the cases you cite will sus
tain your contentions," answered
Vanderveer.
"I prefer to hear the cases," re
marked the court.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion Judge Wilson announced that
the request of the defense to Intro
duce testimony concerning Roberts'
sanity was for the present refused,
and that such evidence must be pro
duced in proper course during the
case of the defense.
Vanderveer entered exceptions,
which were allowed, and declared that
these were based upon the conten
tion that the confessions are imma
terial and incompetent, and that
Roberts' himself, when he made them
was mentally incompetent and is to
day.
Before the two confessions were
read. Judge Wilson instructed 'the
jurors that they must consider the
admissions made therein only with
regard to Loren Roberts and that
references to other defendants were
to be wholly disregarded by the Jury,
Signature Net Affixed.
The confession of November 17,
signed by Roberts, was read by A. C
Baker, who served as stenographer.
At its conclusion the state brought
forward the supplementary confes
sion, made in the city" jail at Cen
tralia on November 24. Miss Dorothy
Wise, stenographer, testified that she
took the notes and transcribed them.
There were present at that time the
defendant's mother, Mrs. Rdn
Roberts: his sister, Mrs. Clarence
Axtell; C. D. Cunningham, counsel for
the state: Frank P. Christensen, as
slstant attorney-general and others.
Before this supplementary confes
sion was read, the testimony de
veloped that Roberts had declined t
sign it after making the statement
Upon request of the defense this faci
was made of record before the con
fession was reac by Mr. Christensen.
Both Baker, stenographer of the
first confession and Miss Wise, who
took down the second and supple
mentary statement, testified under
cross-examination that Roberts ap
peared sane and not unduly nervous
when the confessions were made.
They remarked nothing that seemed
evidence of insanity, nor did they be
lieve that the defendant was making
the statements other than voluntarily.
Defendant Wears O. D. Shirt.
Roberts had .summoned Baker to
his cell on November 18, because he
desired to make some changes In his
statement. These interlineations were
noted by the witness as he read the
confession and seemed points upon
which Roberts had refreshed his mem
ory in an effort to be exact.
Present at the utterance of this
mnfpMlnn had heen C T rimntn '
ham, Centralia, Herman Allen, Che

While counsel argued for and
against the mental incompetency of
her son and while the confessions of
his part in the parade attack were
read, Mrs. Edna Roberts, mother ol
the defendant, sat in the court room.
Near her was seated Mrs. Will Faulk

other defendant..
Faulkner served in the army and
wears yet the olive drab shirt of the
service. He sits bolt upright, a young
