Prosecution of Joseph J. Henderson
on a charge of murdering his wife
closed yesterday after Introduction of
a dylnn- statement of Mrs. Gertrude
Henderson, detailing the vicious at
tack In which she received fatal knife
wounds, and after testimony by wit
nesses who said they heard Hender
son threaten to "get" his wife.
More than a dozen witnesses were
produced by the defense before the
close of the day to establish the con
tention that domestic troubles made
a morose, sour and brooding man of
one who had been an alert, cheerful
worker. The evidence will form the
basis of the defense theory' of tem
porary Inranlty and lapse of memory.
The memory of the dead woman was
attacked throuch charges of infidelity
and evldrnce of neglect of the three
children of the Hcnde sons.
Premeditation Is Charged.
To prove th claim of the state
that the murder was premeditated,
three witnesses were called. Curtis
i ' , , ,i v, i .. rmt ..'I. i 1 rl-nri nf TtnnHnr-
son, testified that last May or Juns ! 'here are many
he mf.t Henderson in the vicinity of
Second and Date streets; that Hender
son discussed the divorce suit brought
by his wire, and commented: "I don't
think I will lose the case, but If I
do I will get her before I'll pay
any alimony."
John frVhlett and Henry Wlrth tes
tified that they met the defendant
on tiarfleld street last March and
that Henderson said ha was looking
for his wife.
"I'll get her." he was quoted as
saying, and vthe witnesses asserted
that they could see the butt of a
revolver peeping from a hip pocket.
Oraphic description of the tftack
was contained in the dying statement
of Mrs. Henderson made in the pres
ence of District Attorney Kvans and
Miss l'lllinn l'eterson. stenographs,
at Ht. Vincent's hospital shortly be
fore the woman died, it was read to
the Jury. .
Death Threat Made.
Henderson came to her home on the
morning of August 8 and told her
that "tier time had come." said Mrs.
Henderson's statement. It continued
to detail the whipping out of a re
volver, which was pointed at her
head, and accompanied by threats, a
hnlf hour of torture In which she was
led to believe death was imminent
culminated when Henderson struck
her on the head and in her stomach
with his fists, knocked her down,
choked her and then "stabbed me all
over."
Foundation for the introduction of
this dying declaration was laid Mon
day In the testimony of Dr. Parrlsh
and others to the effect that Mrs.
Henderson feared she was dying, and
the further testimony yesterday by
Virgil King of low East Twentieth
sifeet North,-brother-in-law of the
dead woman, that she told him on th
way to the hospital In the ambulance
that sha thought she could not live,
f.uard Takes Stnnd.
"I would have got her once before
but she got away." Is the statement
attributed to Henderson while he
was lying In bed at St. Vincent's hos
pital suffering from his self-inflicted
bullet wound in the head, by John 1
(rreen. patrolman who guarded the
murderer there.
Green testified that he watched
over Henderson on one shift for three
days, and that on the second day Hen
derson made that remark.
"I asked him If he intended to
kill her and he said "Ves.-" said the
officer. The policeman denied that
there was any attempt at third de
gree, saying that he did not try to
talk to Henderson and did not re
call who started the conversation.
The officer said further that Hen
derson also said he went to his wife's
house to get her to live with him
again and that he took the revolver
along "to try to scare her Into It."
Ilnahand Fond of Children.
Fryda Scegar, 450 Rodney avenue,
was a character witness called by
the defense. She had lived next door
to the Hendersons for a year and four
months and t stified on direct exam
ination that "Joe was very unlet and
peaceful init very fond of children."
She also said that Mrs. Henderson
had often left the children clone In
the house. On cross-examination by
Deputy District Attorney Crumpaeker
Mrs. Seegar conceded that she had
visited the Henderson home but once
In her life, that she had never known
them socially, was not friendly with
the family andi to use her expression,
"never neighbored with Mrs. Hen
derson." Walter Costello, co-worker with
Henderson In the shipyard during
the war. testified that he last saw
Henderson In May. 1921, at which
time he looked different than in the
years they had worked together.
"He wasn't as stout as be was,"
said the witness.
Defendant Held Chan-.
Harry White, another shipyard
worker, testified that Henderson had
changed greatly In the last year, that
he had "something on his mind," that
he scemt'd to worry about his chil
dren, and that his memory was bad.
The defense attempted to use White
to Introduce testimony to the ef
fect that Mrs. HenoVerson was seen
at a boilermakers' picnic in 1919 with
a man other than her husband and
was introduced as the man's wife,
but the testimony, disclosed In lead
ing questions by Monroe H. Gold
stein, attorney, was ruled out by
Judge Tucker.
Introduction of a divorce complaint
filed by Henderson in a case which
later was dismissed because of recon
ciliation was obtained by Attorney
Goldstein, and the contents read to
the jury. A basis of the suit was an
accusation charging Mrs. Henderson
with intimacy with another man. The
defers nln solleht to Introduce what
purported to be a copy of a letter
written by this man to Mrs. Hender
son, but It was barred by Judge
Tucker until further authenticated.
Hate for Women Told.
"I hate all women." was a remark
attributed to Henderson by George
Goodell, a friend, who met Hender
son last May. and from whom Hen
derson borrowed money for the
avowed purpose of paying bis wife
alimony.
John Williamson testified that
Henderson told him two weeks be
fore the killing tbat bis wife was
driving him crasy.
W. Stewart said that he met Hen
derson on the Broadway bridge last
July; that Henderson was muttering
to himself, and later confided that if
it was not for his children he would
Jump In the river. Though going in
the opposite direction from which his
children were living. Henderson told
Stewart he was on his way to visit
them, declared the witness. On cross
examination Stewart asserted that he
was not alarmed by what Henderson
raid, and did not think at the time
that the man was insane.
Hnaband Seems to Brood.
L. K. Von Pier testified that he had
seen Henderson In July, and that the
man seemed to be brooding constant
ly over his domestic affairs. While
he admitted that he did not expect
the tragedy, the witness said he was
not surprised when he heard that
Henderson had slain his wife.
Among other witnesses who testi
fied either to the mental alertness of
Henderson before his domestic trouble
or th change his family affairs bad
made in his disposition were: S. S.
Mandelay, Oliver M. Hickey, Joseph E.
MUlington, Alexander Hyde, J. J.
Nault, George Panketh, F. B. Pape,
George Rogers, Joseph Reed, M. M.
Uzalak, Walter Young and Richard
Mussen.
Ethel McCarthy, nurse at St. Vin
cent's hospital, was aalled by the de
fense to discount the alleged confes
slonof Henderson to a police officer
to the effect that he had planned the
murder two weeks before but that his
plans had miscarried. She testified
that he was delirious at times while
under her care.
The defense may close today, though
ore character wit
nesses to be called as well as two
alienists. Attorney Goldstein has not
Indicated whether or not he Intends
to put the defendant on the stand.
''Portland-!
l Street Names
Marshall.
THE history and the condition of
Portland has from its earliest
days depended to a large extent upon
the volume of water transportation.
Portland was chosen for a townslte
largely because of the favorable har
bor it offered and the harbor has
been one of the chief features of the
city down the years to the present
time.
Many of the early residents were
drawn to the city through its connec
tion with ocean and river transporta
tion and their part in developing this
branch of the city's life makes them
worthy of special tribute In the city's
history. John Marshall, still living,
for whom M street was renamed, was
prominent among the men engaged
in river transportation for approxi
mately 50 years.
He was born In Southampton, Eng
land, May 26, 1837, and came to
America when he was ten years of
age, living In Chicago until 1862.
when he crossed the plains to Ore
gon. A personal account of his life
has It that Front street was the only
street In Portland when he arrived
and-but one house stood on the east
bank of the river at the time. An
other anecdote relates his refusal to
pay $5 for passage on the "Eagle"
steamboat from Portland to Oregon
City. He started to walk and ar
rived nearly as soon as did the boat.
So far as Is known John Marshall
is the oldest of the river navigators
still alive. Among his business as
sociates were Jacob Kamm. Captain
Alnsworth and Colonel Lovejoy. He
retired from the shipping business in
1902 and since then has remained In
Portland, living on the street named
in his honor.
He married Sarah E. Davis and five
children were born of the union. But
one is still alive. Dr. George A. Mar
shall, who has two sons to carry on
the family name.
M SAFE IS RIFLED

Police belief that one oi moit r.
rare experts of the underworld a K
burglar who can open any ordinary '
sate witnout me use oi explosives
is at work in Portland, was strength,
ened yesterday after a report had
been received that the safe in the
Corbett building barber shop had
been opened some time Monday night
and rifled of $100 In currency. The
shop manager told police detectives
that' he was the only person who
knew the combination of the sate, but
when be opened the shop for business
wnen ne openea iae snop tor duic
yesterday the safe door lay open and y
the strong box was empty. A
About two weeks ago the cafe of rA
the Gunther-King sheet metal works fj
was opened in the same manner and C
looted of approximately 175 in cash id
and checks totaling $1000. As in the I
case of the barber shop, the other
safe had been locked when the shop
closed the night before, but the big
steel door was open when employes
arrived the following morning. In
neither case did the burglar resort to
the use of explosives, and both safes
were opened without being damaged
in the least.
Yeggs who are handy with nitro
glycerin in breaking open safe doors
maintain that there are not more
than two or three experta in this
country today who can open a safe
by working the combination. A deli
cate sense of touch is possessed by
these very few safe experts.
HOSPITAL W0RK NEAR
Second Wing of Hahnemann Insti
tution to Be Started Soon.
That the second wing of the Hahne
mann hospital will be started in tho

nomah streets was the announcement

Thomas C. Luke declared that Port
land was the greatest city tn the
country for the sale of roses. He said
that Portland florists sell about 2.
000,000 annually or about 7 per capi
ta. He said that the low price is the
cause of this.
Music was furnished by Mrs. Alice
