the witness, who also declared the
man was dressed in dark clothes and
wore something: white about his head.
: On cross-examination. Bond admit
ted to Joseph 1. Hammersly, deputy
district attorney, that the place where
he saw the man was where a person
going; to town would take the St.
Johns car.
- Walking: west on Willis street at a
fast pace, glancing: back over his
shoulder "every few steps" in the di
rection of the Agee home, from the
vicinity of which were coming: piercing-
screams of a woman, a man in a
dark overcoat .was seen by Gordon H
Colgan, a fireman, living- at 1711
Portsmouth avenue, the night of the
tragedy. The man carried his hat is
bis hand, walked fast down Ports
mouth toward Lombard, and as soon
as he got out of sight of Colgan was
heard to break into a run, testified
this witness.
Colgan testified that he was stand
lag at the corner of Portsmouth ave
nue and Willis boulevard saying good
night to a neighbor he had driven
home from town, when he beard the
screams, "as clearly as if they had
been across the street."
"I thought somebody was having a
good time down there," he explained.
Then he saw the figure of a man com
ing down the street. At no time was
the afternoon of Sunday, July 17, he' the man nearer to him than 70 feet.
said. On the southwest norflon r.f
the lot were thick clumps of hazelJ
ana mapie, connected by ferns and
high grass, he said, and sprinkled
with "rubbish of all descriptions.".
Walking; Stick; TJaed.
"With a walking stick I parted the
bushes and ferns, and while looking
discovered something black," said
Kwing. "It looked like a bundle or
cloth. I did not touch it. even with
the stick. I had the idea that it
would be bet to get two other hon
est person to look at it just as I
found It and have them open it."
The witness went on to tell of go
ing to the corner of Willis and Ports
mouth avenue, finding a Mr. Porter
and later a Mr. Maxwell to go with
him to the scene and open up the
mysterious bundle. -In the inside
breast pocket of the blood-spattered
overcoat was found the music score.
"It was some kind of music, new
music to me." asserted the father. "I
put on my glasses and I knew from
what it said on the cover that it was
trombone music."
Knife In Pocket.
In the right hand pocket of the
icoat was the bloody hunting knife,
asserted the witness. On the right
hand skirt of the coat In front were
blood spots, and the right sleeve also
w(as similarly stained.
"It seemed to be sprayed with
blood," explained the witness.
considerably excited. Judge Mor
row interrupted him, asserting that
the witness had disobeyed the instruc
tions of the court to be careful and
not state conclusions Instead of facts.
."After all I have said to you, your
conduct is Inexcusable. It is very
reprehensible," declared the -fudge,
trazing sternly at the embarrassed
old man.
"The court's remarks are very un--.called
for and prejudicial!" shouted
Collier, springing to the rescue of his
witness. "I desire to take exception
to them."
Exception Is Granted.
"You may have your exception, but
your opinion, Mr. Collier, is quite un
important!" retorted the judge.
"But my record is important," per
flated the attorney.. "You didn't
limit the state's evidence concerning
the presence of blood on the sheets
and pillow case in the Agee home. I
did not object to it and the state has
made no objection to this testimony."
... . "You may have your record."
This was not the first occasion
that Judge Morrow and Collier have
been at swords-points In the trial,
due to remarks of the court to which
the defense attorney has objected.
Under cross-examination at length
by .Hammersly, Swing stood by all
the features of his direct testimony.
He said that the coat when found was
covered with dust and cobwebs and
perfectly concealed from the passer
by by heavy fronds of ferns. ,
Music In Pocket.
Asked why he had made this search.
Swine demanded of Hammersly,
"Woujdn't you, with the life of your
daughter at stake, and your son-in-law
dead, do all that was within your
power to clear up the murder? What
would you expect otherwise of
lather?"
Jawing: said that at the time the
musie was found in the coat he did
not know that Klecker was a trom
bone player.
The two men called by Swing held
a consultation and the trio decided
that the proper thing to do in the case
was not to notify the police, but to
get in touch with the defense attor
ney in the Agee case and take his ad.
vice as to the disposal of the evidence
or possioie eviaence unearthed, as
serted the father.
"Don't you think the officers of the
law want to get the murderer?" asked
.Hammersly.
"From the way my daughter was
run In, it don't appear they had much
interest in it,' retorted the witness.
In reply to questions. Swing beean
his testimony by telling of the early
life of his daughter. Manlike, he did
not recall her age, and apologized
saying. "She was born In North Caro
lina In 1894 or 1895. I am not sure
which, because I left it to the old lady
to keep up on the ages of the chil
dren
The Agee family lived three miles
from the Swing farm In Missouri
"Harry and Louise" were married
about nine years ago, he said. He de-i
nied that the marriage was one to
please the old folks.
"They had been sweethearts for
three years they were Just children
you know," he explained, "and one
day Harry and .Louise and John and
Daisy drove In two buggies to visit
a brother of Louise on a farm 50
miles distant. They had to pass
through the county seat and decided
to get married on the trip as a sur
prise to both families.
"Was there any coercion , on your
part 7"
"I took no hand. In the .affair,
did not know It was coming off."
Swing told of helping Harrw Age
"to get a start" and said, "I appreci
ated I had a son-in-law as good as
he appeared to true.'
Mrs. Agee no longer was the "grim
widow. "' She was weeping unre
etrainedly as her father recalled the
romance with the man now dead.
Swing testified that ne and his wife
visited the Agees last September an
October. He saw nothing strained i
their relations, saying, "They lived
together like a couple of kids, that is.
affectionate toward one another, an
teemed very happy." He Identified
the raaor with the mottled handle as
that of the dead man, and said he
never saw a black-handled razor In
Agee's possession, though h e used
Agee's shaving materials during his
'visit, constantly.
An incident which led directly to
the finding of the stained black over
coat and bloody knife, according to
the defense, was testified to by John
P. Bond, employe of the Western
Cooperage company. On the early
morning of the murder, about 1:30,
he was proceeding home along the
west side of McKenna street, he said
About two blocks from Lombard his
attention was attracted by a man
stooping down In the light of an arc
and looking in his direction, appar
ently, he testified.
Man Sees Hiding.
As he drew near Bond declared the
man stepped behind a telephone pole.
Suspicious, Bond crossed to the other
side of the street. As he passed by
the corner of Lombard and McKenna
the man circled about, keeping the
pole between himself and Bond, said
be said. The hat held was a dark one,
asserted the witness, and the coat
came - about to the knees of the
wearer.
, E. Marvin, the man to whom Colgan
was talking at the time the stranger
was seen, corroborated his testimony.
Rebuttal of the testimony of the
prosecution's star witness, Klecker,
to the effect that he was in the com
pany of Mrs. Agee on the nights of
Saturday, June 4, and Thursday, June
9, on which occasions they visited
secluded spots, was given by eight
witnesses called by the defense.
May Poulton, Helen Moser, Bertha
Myers, Isabelle Biersdorf, all mem
bers of the Rebekah band, told of see
ing Mrs. Agee with her husband at
the Odd Fellows temple, First and
Alder streets, as late as 11:30 P. M.
on the night of Saturday, June 4.
.Dora Howard, Mamie Howard and
Delo Howard said they saw Mrs. Agee
in band uniform sitting on a box
at Broadway and Washington street
on Thursday night. June 14, waiting
for the arrival of her husband to take
her to the Rose Festival fireworks
at the Multnomah field. Mrs. Her
bert Ewlng, 7509 East Seventh ave
nue. southeast, testified that she saw
Mr. and Mrs. Agee at the field. The
Howards talked with Mrs. Agee until
her husband arrived, they asserted.
Conple Declared Affectionate.
M. T. Nelson testified' to taking
Agee as far as Broadway and Lar
rabee on the night of June 9 when
Agee was on his way to meet his wife.
Mr. andi Mrs. L. E. Kramer, Inti
mate friends of the Agees, testified
that they were always an affection
ate couple, kissing at meeting and
parting. Mrs. Kramer said that she
had talked with Mrs. Agee "about
what - good husbands we both nave
and she said she could not wish for
kinder man.
The watch and gold bracelet later
found on the ground outside the Agee
home were in the bedroom where
Agee was slain when Thomas Jewell,
neighbor, arrived at tne muroer
scene, he testiriea yesteraay. jeweu
identified the watch In evidence-as
similar to the one he had noted
the watch pocket of Agee's trousers
which hung across the foot of his bed.
Later arrivals found no watch and
the trousers pockets were turned in
side out. Jewell said that on the
floor near the foot of the bed lay a
woman's bracelet, opened. This
bracelet later was fo'und in the yard
of the Agee home outside the dining
room window.
Effect of this testimony was to
substantiate the theory held tha
someone endeavored to make the kill
lng of Harry Agee appear to be the
act of a burglar, bent on robbing the
man, and that silver and other art!
cles found outside the house were
'planted" by that person.
Part of Bed Seems Undisturbed.
The state has laid considerable
stress on the testimony of witnesses
who said they did not think, from ts
appearance, that the far side of the
Agee bed had been slept in the night
of the murder, contradicting the con
tention of the defense that Mrs. Agee
was in bed with her husband when
he met his death.
Jewell, one of the first persons to
reach the room in the Investigation
testified that someone asked him to
get a pillow for Agee's head,
I picked up a pillow from the bed
then thought I hadn't ought to do
that and threw the pillow back," he
testified.. "
"From what side of the bed was
that?" asked Collier.
'It was on the side next to the
wall.
"Did It have any blood on It?"
"No, It was a clean pillow."
"Did the north side of the bed ap
pear to you as though someone had
slept In it that night?" continued the
attorney.
I paid no particular attention to
It. 1 couldn t tell if another person
had .slept there or not.
Woman Not Bloodstained,
During most of this time, Jewell
said that Mrs. Agee had been sitting
in the kitchen, nrvi n p.
ltd you see any blood on Mrs.
Agee?" asked Collier.
"I didn t see no blood on her.
"Did you look for any?"
"Yes, I seen her hands."
Asked on cross-examination by Sam
uel.H. Pierce, deputy district attor
ney. If he had told anvone of findln
the bracelet and watch in the bedroom
that night, Jewell replied that he told
his wife and boy when he got home
He said he told "a good many people
about it afterwards and that it wa
not more than two weeks ago that he
tola collier.
'Did you ever tell the authorltle
about finding these articles?'' asked
fierce.
"No," answered the witness.
Prosecutors Told, He Saym.
"Di you ever tell Mr. Pierce o
Mr. Hammersly?" asked Collier on
redirect examination.
"Yes, sir." Jewell produced his sub
pena, dated la"st Monday, and admit
ted that was the day on which he
told these- things to the deputy dis
trict attorney.
Jewell said he left the Agee house
four or five minutes after the body of
Agee was removed and before the ar-
ttt les were found outside the house.
On approaching the house, Jewell
said he saw a light but could not re
call in which room. ' He remembered
turning on the lights in dining room.
Kitcnen and bedroom himself but not
the light in the parlor, thus leaving
the inference that the light he saw
was In the parlor.
Jewell met Mrs. Green, Mrs. Agee
and Mrs. Gagne on his way to the
house, he said. Asked if they said
anything to him concerning the mur
der. Jewell replied. "Mrs. Gagne said,
'For God's sake, Mr. Jewell, run. They
are killing Mr. Agee!'"
Mrs. Agee la Kept Away, Report.
Mrs. Agee was restrained forcibly
from going to the side of her dying
husband and did nbt stay away from
htm through choice, was the effect of
the testimony of Mrs. Bertha Gagne,
a neighbor called to the witness
stand by the defense.
-e must not let her go over
there," Mrs. Gagne said she had re
marked to Mrs. R. E. Green, another
neighbor, as Mrs. Agee clung to her,
arms about Mrs. Gagne's neck.
"And did she try to go to her hus
band?" asked Henry Collier.
"She did."
"Who stopped her?"
- "Mra. Gieen and me."
The prosecution has contended that
Mrs. Agee has been a "grim widow,"
and has shown little emotion over
the violent death of her husband.
"Did she show any grief that
night?" was a question asked Mrs.
Gagne.
Widow WeepliK, Saya Witness.
"She cried and was very nervous,"
was the answer.
After the body of her husband was
taken away. Mrs. Agee ran sobbing
and sobbing to the Green house, said
the witness.
Mrs. Gagne said she was awakened
by the screams of a woman the night
of the murder. When she got to the
house she saw a light within, she
testified. This conflicts with the evi
dence of some of the state's witnesses,
who insisted that there wai no light
when they arrived on the scene, and
their arrival was at the same time
or later than that of Mrs. Gagne.
Laura Howes, 1717 Herford street.
heard running footsteps past her
home, simultaneously with a woman's
screams on the night of June 11. She
heard a man's voice, but could not
distinguish what he said. She thought
he was calling "Fire!" she testified.
T. T. Tepeson, 1764 Hodge street.
old of being awakened about 12:10
on the morning of the murder by
screams. He looked out of the tent
where he was sleeping, saw no one
and went back inside. After going
back he heard the steps of a person
walking fast toward Portsmouth
avenue, he testified. He did hot see
the pedestrian.
G. R. Young testified that he vis
ited the Agee home at 8 o'clock on
the morning following the slaying
and saw what appeared to be blood
on he knobs of the front door.
From an announcement by District
Attorney Evans yesterday It became
known for the first time that Judge
Morrow had denied a motion for a
directed verdict in the Agee case in
chambers the day prior. No notice
of '-he action was made in court.

WHITE HOUSE GIVES VIEW
Accomplishments of Administra
tion Toward Relief Discussed
at Length In Statement.
Many Interests Urge Reduction,
but Few Suggest Means for .
Meeting; Revenue Loss.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 29. Pub
lic hearings on tax revision were
closed today by the house ways and
means committee, which will start
drafting the new revenue bill after
hearing Secretary Mellon, Internal
Revenue Commissioner Blair and other
treasury officers in executive session
beginning Monday.
Chairman Fordney said . today it
probably would take three weeks to
get the bill before the house. The
majority members of the committee
have as yet had no conferences to
agree upon a revision programme and
evidence of differences of opinion
among them has not been lacking.
All of the republicans havenot yet
agreed to the treasury proposal to re
peal the excess profits tax and sub
stitute an increase in the normal tax
on corporations, but leaders believe
this programme will prevail. A re
duction in the surtax list to a max!
mum of at least 40 per cent also is
forecast.
Like the great majority of those
who had gone before, most witnesses
sought removal of the tax from their
particular Tnerustrles. but, as Chair
man Fordney pointed out, few sug
gestions were offered as to how the
oss in revenue proposed was to be
made up. -
William A. Brady of New York and
other spokesmen for the moving pic
ture industry, including theaters,
asked that the theater seat tax, the
5 per cent sales tax on films and the
10 per cent admission tax be removed.
They declared the industry was in
worse shape than any other in the
country, with 4000 theaters already
closed and many others planning to
shut down next month. Mr. Brady
said the high salaries of movie stars
had disappeared in the last year.
The National Manufacturers' asso
elation urged repeal of the excess
profits tax on the higher branches in
the surtax, substituting a general
turnover or sales tax, while represent
atives of the fur industry asked repeal
or modification of the tax on their
products.
Representative Appleby, republican,
New Jersey, argued In favor of his bill
for a two-cent stamp tax on bank
checks, to repeal the soda water tax
and to levy a federal tax of 40 cents
a horse power on passenger automo
biles and Jl a ton on trucks, with a
proportion of this to go to the states
in lieu of the present state taxes. He
also asked for a simplification of the
Income tax sheets.
Opposing repeal of the excess prof
its tax and the higher rate of surtax,
Charles A. Lyman, secretary of the
national board of farm organizations,
said there was feeling on the part of
farmers that some plan should be
worked out under which vast accumu
lations of wealth should bear a large
part of the tax burden.
Arbexs Funeral Occurs Today.
Funeral services for J. Henry Al
bers, wealthy miller, who died
Wednesday at his home In Milwau
kee, will be held today. High requiem
mass will be said in St. John's Cath
olic church in Milwaukie at 9:30 A. M.
and the Interment will be made in
Mount Calvary cemetery.
WASHINGTON, D. C. .July 29. The
accomplishments of the administra
tion toward relief of financial con
ditions are reviewed at length in
statement . issued today from the
White House, declaring that the work
done in that direction during the last
four months constituted "an achieve
ment of the largest importance to the
country.
In support of this assertion, the
statement pointed to and discussed
at length the recent reduction of dis
count rates by federal reserve banks,
steps taken by the treasury towards
refunding the national debt; the re
sumption of active operation by the
war finance corporation; efforts to
ward final settlement of the railroad
problem; extension of relief to agri
culture. and the livestock Industry and
various other items of the adminis
tration's financial policy. -
Rediscount Reductions Cited.
"It is unsafe," said the statement,
to prophesy concerning conditions
in the future, but it may be expected
that recognition will be given to
further improvements In accordance
with the dictates of sound banking
practice."
The statement pointed to successive
reductions in rediscount rates by the
federal reserve banks, and added:
It will not have escaped attention
tlAt the rates of discount of the Bank
of England have also been success
fully reduced and that these reduc
tions have substantially coincided
with the reductions In federal
reserve rates In this country. This
would appear to be a frank recogni
tion of the intimate relation between
the money markets in this country
and Europe and a recognition as well
of the improvement in world credit
conditions. The Importance of coin
cident reductions by these two lead
ing banking systems lies chiefly in
the fact that it indicated a mutual
desire to reopen the international
channels of credit upon which inter
national trade depends.
New Policy Discussed.
"The treasury, on its part, has, dur
ing the last four months, successfully
inaugurated its new policy of refund
ing the short-dated debt of the gov
ernment and distributing- the early
maturities over the period between
the maturity of the victory loan In
1923 and the third liberty loan In
1928. The first offering of treasury
notes pursuant to this policy met with
a most enthusiastic response, and the
further development of the pro
gramme should bring about a better
distribution of the public debt and
much improved market conditions for
government securities. There has
already been a marked- improvement
in the market prices of liberty bonds
and victory notes, and the market for
all outstanding issues of short-term
government securities is in better
shape than at any time since the de
presslon.
The work of the revived war finance
corporation, the statement said, "has
been, according to many evidences re
ceived, an inspiring and heartening
factor in the whole agricultural situ
ation."
Benefits Declared Started.
Referring to the president's pro
posal that the powers of the war fi
nance corporation be extended to al
low it to purchase railroad securities
from the railroad administration in
order to finance the settlements by
the administration, the statement said
it was expected that the intervention
of the finance corporation in railroad
finances "will again have a beneficial
effect on general railroad credit and

MOTORCYCLISTS ARE HURT
Man and Wife Injured While on
Way Back to California.
Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Lenz, a young
California couple on their way home
to Santa Clara county from Seattle
with a motorcycle and sidecar, were
injured last night, when the machine
left the road near Milwaukie and
Just south of the Multnomah county
line. Both were unconscious when
they were found by C. F. Richardson,
a resident of that vicinity.
Circuit Judge MeCourt Holds That
Commission Must Pass Upon
Expenditures Appeal Taken.
The state-wide budget bill passed
during the last session of the legis
lature is not applicable to Multnomah
county, and the county must be gov
erned by the act of the same session
applying to counties of more than
100,000 population, according to
decision handed down by Judge Me
Court in the circuit court yjesterday.
The suit was friendly in character
and merely sought to bring a decision
as to which of two apparently con
flictlng bills regarding the budget
was to apply in this connty.
The suit was filed by Abe Tlchner
and it was for the issuing of an in
junction requiring the county to pre
pare its budget under the terms of
the bill applying to counties of more
than 100,000 population.
Appeal Immediately Taken.
District Attorney Evans repre
sented Mr. Tichner and the city was
represented by City Attorney Grant
and Deputy City Attorney Latourette.
Immediately after the decision Mr.
Grant asked for an appeal to the su
preme court. The appeal must be
taken and a final decision given be
fore it will be possible for any work
to be done on the budget.
In the last legislative session
bill, now designated in the state laws
as chapter 118, was passed requiring
that every tax-levying body shall
prepare a budget showing in detail
the proposed expenditures for the en
suing year. This budget must be pre
pared by a budget committee, con
sisting of the tax-levying body and
an equal number of citizens. Follow
ing the adontlon of this budget It
must be published at least twice. f
Connty Under Supervisory Rule.
Chapter 208 Is the law that, ac
cording to Judge MeCourt, is ap
plicable to Multnomah county. It
provides for the appointment by the
governor of three persons who shall
constitute a tax supervision and con
servation commission. The tax-levy
ing body shall prepare its budget of
expenditures and submit it to the
commission on or before October 1 of
each year. This commission has
power either to increase or decrease
any items it may deem necessary in
the budget submitted. The members
of this commission are F. W. Mulkey,
R. L. Sabin and L. J. Goldsmith.
The publication of the budget lists
each year, as provided In tne state
wide bill, would involve an unneces
sary expense of approximately $25,000
annually, according to botn iwr. tyrant
and Mr. Evans. ,
Unnecessary Expense Eliminated.
Tha decision which establishes
nolicv of procedure for Multnomah
county wipes out the possibility for
that unnecessary expenditure.
Efforts will be made by Mr. Grant
to have the appeal taken before the
supreme curt immediately. Had the
decision of Judge MeCourt been con
trary to what it was It would have
been necessary to have the budget
lists of the county published not later
than September S.
