WHILE ON THE STAND
- ; I
David' Van Houten, the self-confessed
layer of Albert. Young, broke down and
cried during the ' second day of his
, trial before Judge Gears In the state
circuit court today. .
When John Sore n son, an eyewitness
to' the ahootlng, and a leading witness
for the state, took the Btand and com
menced to recount the incidents on the
night of .the tragedy, tears were stream
ing down Van Houten's face. When the
witness described the way the revolver
had been placed at Young's breast the
prisoner's sobs disturbed the trial, and
friends gathered to comfort and quiet

Premeditated Homicide Theory. -
Throughout the examinations the at
torneys for the state attempted to prove
that Van Houten had deliberately
planned the murder and deliberately car
ried the plot to execution. Several of
the Witnesses testified that Van Houten
had made threats against Young on
various .occasions. ' .
Mrs. Maud Masters, a sister of Mrs.
Van Houten, was called by the state
to relate a conversation with Van Hou
ten, but her testimony was so favorabls
to the defense that she was not cross
examined. Mrs. Masters Said she lived
at Marshfleld and that the Van Houten
family lived at her home several
months, while Mrs. Van Houten helped
her sew. ,.

'Well, he became confidential with
me and told me . several things. He
asked me If I didn't think such a man

RUNAWAY HORSES
CRASH INTO CAR
" 1 A team of terror-crazed horses,
hitched to an Ice wagon, dashed at full
speed into a Twenty-third' street car
this morning, and the front end of the
csr. which was penetrated by the wagon
tongue, was the only thing damaged.
R. 8. Ferrlll. a passenger, seated in the
car, had a narrow escape. He sprang
from his seat Just in time to escape
the wagon tongue as It crashed through
the metal and wood at his feet.
The sccldent occurred near First
Street on Washington, and the car had
just come to a stop. The horses were
left by their driver. John Penny, stand

COCOA OR CACAO?
COURT MUST DECIDE
Whether cocoa is cacao, or cacao is
cocoa. Is still perplexing the mind of
United 8tates Judge Charles B. Bellin
ger, before whom the suit of the gov
ernment against the Oriental American
company is in progress. ; The govern
ment seeks to recover a duty of lYi
cents a pound on 23 tons of vegetable
oil Imported from Singapore. The case
was before the court all day yesterday
and bids fair to occupy most of today's
session.
The Oriental American company re
fused 'co pay duty on the oil on the
grounds that it Is cocosnut oil and free
from duty and not cocoa or cacao but
terine, a product of the chocolate plant,
or theobroma cacao, as alleged by the
ELKS DECIDE NOT

The Portland lodge of Elks has aban

If he would take her far away and
never mention this thing again, that
she would go and live with him. He
refused to listen to her unless she would
agree to write Young and tell him it
was all oft and to get her pictures back.
I heard nothing further about the mat
ter." By the testimony of Lottie Hastings,
another of Mrs. Van Houten's sisters,
the state attempted to prove that Van
Houten was after Young's money. She
testified that the Van Houtens called at
Toke's Oyster House, where she was em
ployed, and that she over heard part Of
their conversation.
Wanted to Sue Young.
"Mrs. Van Houten told me," she said,
"that Van Houten wanted to sue Young
fnr alienating his wife's affections; that
he thought they could get $1,060 and
that he would give her 1250 and keep the
rest himself.'
On cross examination she admitted
that she had talked with the district at
torney regarding her testimony, but de
nied that she had been coached.
."Didn't Attorney Manning and Detec
tive Hartman tell you what to say,"
persisted Attorney Logan.
; Told What She MeanV v .
"I told what I was going to say, she
replied, .''but I am afraid I have been as
awful poor witness."
Lulu ' Hastings testified thst - Van
Houten came to tber home In Aberdeen,
Wash., last year and searched for his
wife.. -' :
"Van Houton came, to my house one
evening," she said, "but left the. next
morning. He seemed greatly excited.

Emily MTtdfen,' the music teacher who
lived with the Van Houten family three
years, and who later took care of Mrs.
Van Houten's rooming house on Hood
street, told of a conversation with Van

While the ground seeds of the cacao

Opening Speech to the Jury,
In his opening' address to the Jury
Mr Kpnncnr, far . tha prnnArnHnn, sf.
ralgned Van.. Houten mercilessly. He
offered to show that the defendant, long
before his wife knew Toung, broke up
his own home, by. his cruel treatment
of Mrs. Van Houten. He drew a graphic
picture of the defendant going to-, the
country home where' he married Minnie
Hastings when she' was but a young
glrL- He said that she was the bread
winner and that Van Houten, by his
ungovernable temper and lack of energy,
drove her from him.
"She may have done wrong," said the
prosecutor, "but It will be unbecoming
In him to publish her to the world as a
bad woman In order to save his own
hide."
Mr. Cleeton presented the other Side
of the case and said the defense would
show that Van Houten, worked into a
mad frenzy by his wife's actions and
the stories he had beard about her, was
not In his right mind when he killed
Young. He promised to show that the
defendant was not guilty of any crime.
Was In Another Saloon, Too.
Dr. A. J. Qleiy was the-first witness.
He attended Young the night he was
shot and described in detail the course
of the two bullets, one of which pierced
his body, the other breaking his right
arm. The physician stated that the . In
jured man died of hemorrhage, .
.. Frank Strain, a horaedea'ler and part
ner In business with Van Houten, and at
whoso house the defendant boarded, was
next called. He said Van Houten had
been away for a couple of days, but re
turned at dark on the evening of De
cember 27. Later he went down town.
Strain lives " six" blocks beyond tbe
terminus of the street car line at Monta
villa. On cross-examination he said
Van Houten appeared not to be acting
right. - ' " '
Fred McCroskey, owner of a saloon
at S03 Irving street, said that. Van
Houten had called at his place between
7 and 7:80 o'clock on the night of the
murder. He left his overcoat, saying
be would call for It. but he, did not

One of the actual witnesses of the
shooting was B. A. Powers, who was
next called. He was in the saloon when
Van Houten came In the rear door. ' Be

defendant had said something about his
struck Young In the left side. It was
about 8:20 p. m, he said. A half hour
previous he saw some man open the rear
door and look In and when he left the
door was ajar. He thought he recog
nized this man as Strain, but he was
not positive. This was brought out by
the prosecution In' an endeavor to show
that Van Houten had an accomplice who
went ahead to see that the way was
clear. -

Portland could secure a fair share
of the business down that way, and it
would be possible to give a better steamship-service.
Under the present order
