"Cross-examination as to where Rod-
man'Tiiad been prior to 1 o'clock was
shut "otit on an objection sustained by
Judge Cleland. - About 1 o'clock, he said.
he was driving east on Morrison street
in his Plerce-Arrow, taking Mrs. Mad
dux to her home. About 1:15 he was
driving up Belmont, on the way to- bia
own home, He did not take Mrs. Mad
dux to the door of her home because the
street was closed, and he saw nobody
at, the Maddux place. Nobody waa at
his home when he arrived. He looked
around the house, then went to bed.
Boimta Had Two Booms. 1
The witness said he had another room
at Fourteenth and Washington atreeta.
Mr. anS'Mrs. Maddux had stayed there
with him, and some of the Maddux fur
niture was still at those rooms. Ha
did not return to hia west side rooms
that night because he desired to change
his clothes at the Morrlaon street house.
Clifford W. Maddux, "husband of the
defendant testified that he left his po
lice beat at 11:45. reported In from
Montavilla. changed his clothes, and
talked with . another officer on Grand 1
avenue before going home on the morn-1
ng or August t. m . arrived noma
about 10 or 15 minutes before 1 o'clock.
No one was in the house. A little after
1 o'clock his wife arrived, being driven
to the corner of East Ninth and Stark
by Frank Rodman. - , - ,
Deputy District Attorney Fltsgerald 1
wanted to Impeach the witness bv ask
ing ir he had not" been i down to the
garage early the next morning Inqulr-
ing about Rodmaa'a car. This question!
waa Tuled out by the eourt Maddux had,
stated that he remained at home until
1.30 o'clock the next afternoon. - I
T. IV Hagerman, now ' ewiployed as '
chauffeur for I. N. Fletachman, was the
first witness for th defense. He ,
drove the coroner, doctor and two de- i
tecllve to the scene of -the aoeVnt
leaving Portland at $:li o'clock. He
saw the body ef Mra. Real about i
feet behind the ' Kelley tnarhlrte. He'
aald the clothing waa unrolled eiort
where It touched the daat. He saw
the men of the Real party and they
appeared Intoxicated.
W. A. McDowell a chaaffeur for an
other party that was on the Llpntnn
road the night Mrs. Real was. killed,
testified that he etorped and efferod

Mrs. Becker was a decidedly unwill
ing witness, but she corroborated-Mlsa
Noss as to seeing Mrs. Maddux pass
their house about 11:30 o'clock the night
of the tragedy, headed in the direction
of the Llnnton road. The entrance to
Frank Watson, the man accused of
swindling. Emory Buren out of $500,
failed to show up in the municipal
court this morning to answer to a
charge of vagrancy. Judge Bennett
threatened to issue a bench warrant
but ordered Attorney John Manning to
nave tne man in court Monday.
Watson is out on bail of $500. At
torney Manning personally obligated
himself to have the man In court when
the case was called, and appeared very
unconcerned this morning, when he did
not show up.
I let this fellow go yesterday 'on
nig own recognizance," said Judge Ben
nett, "and he was supposed . to be here
and ready for trial this morning. That
was the understanding, and if he Is not
here soon, I shall issue a bench war
rant and have him brought In. No
man can break faith with me in tnls
way.''
"i ll get him, I'll get him, he's Just
outside,' said Attorney Manning after
the Judge had refused to allow the
case to go over until Monday, ; which
the attorney had made strenuous ef
forts to have done.
Attorney Manning appeared to be
very busy for a few moments trying
to find the man, but he was not to be
located. He reported to tho court that
the man had been there In the morn
ing, and would promise positively to
nave mm in court Monday, Upon agree
ment with Deputy City Prosecutor Sul
livan the case will be heard Monday.
An Inquiry through -the court failed
to show that Watson had been In the
court room at any time this morning.
The charge of vagrancy as preferred
by Patrolman Kllngel Is that Watson
has been hanging around the street
and has no visible and lawful means
of support He waa arrested upon
complaint of Emory Buren who claims
he "steered" him Into the fake book-
