cared for by Mf. and Mrs. A. H. Davis,
who run the rooming house. . .
"I don't like that man," said Willie,

'He came to Portland" With tis yester

"Papa cut. his hand on the corner of
a trunk. He was packing the trunk yes

In it? Why, clothes, of course, and a
lot of stuff. When he got through pack

threw it into a wagon, and he and I got
on the wagon and rode down to the de-

Webb, however. In a statement made
to the district attorney, said his "wife"
accompanied him to the park and that
Johnson was with them. .

cautlone dvnot to talk.
"Did your uncle (Johnson) buy you
many things?" he was asltert.
"Yes, he bouRht me lots of things, but
I didn't like him, anyway. Papa didn't
like him either. I guess he won't
come back."
"Why do. you think he won't come
back?" he -vas next asked. ,
"Well," asked AVlllle in surprise, "how
can he come back when he hasn't got
any money?" ;
The boy said he did -not know why
Johnson would not have money.
Was In Spokane.
The boy said he and tho man and wo
man he calls father and mother were
in Spokane only a few days.- lie said
his father is. a printer, as Is Webb, and
that he worked In S. okane. So did
hia mother work, said Willie, he
thought In a hotel, but he didn't re
member where they lived. .' ' .' '"
Webb admitted , today1 having lived
In Seattle,' Vancouver, B. C. Nelson, B.
C. and other cities. Willie said he
lived in Nelson and Seattle. He seemed
to know more about Seattle than any
of the other cities. He said he had not
been In San Francisco, ; ;
Willie said his papa did not nave
much money, and for that reason the
mother worked. His father drank: some.
he said.- but ha loved him. y He didn't
know1, anything about. Johnson, or from.
whence he came; He said ne wept witn

" Says Webb Cut His Hand. '.
Willie said he did not hear the sound
of a shot Just before his father began
packing the trunk yesterday afternoon.
He did not know If his father had a
revolver. But he remembered well that
Webb, cut his hand on the corner of the
trunk, or anyway, that his father told
him that was the way he hurt It.
Considering the child's story, it is
evident to ; the detectives that Mrs.
Kersh and Webb lived together for
several months, for the boy says he
lived with "papa and mamma: in Seat
tle for "a long time." He did. not re
member, the' narne of the street on
which they lived, but said they resided

from which i place they went on a Joy
ride until 3 o'clock this morning, when
they were arrested by Detectives Price
and Carpenter as they returned to the
rooming house. Webb put up a hard
fight, and still denies knowing anyv

Testerday afternoon Johnson gave her
the 1800 in the presence of Webb. As
Johnson gave her the money he hugged
and kissed her." Webb made the threat
that If Johnson ever did that again he
would kill him. The woman put the
money in her stocking, where most of
it was found when she and Webb were
arrested, '
Tha story told by Webb to Detectives
Price, Carpenter and Mallett and Dep
uty District Attorney Fitzgerald this
morning conflicts in many places and la
toot at all satisfactory.
The first Indication of the murder

Webb and Mrs. Kersh returned about
S o'clock and were arrested. The wo
man was not told what she was wanted
for. Webb denied knowing anything
about the death of Johnson.
This morning Webb was taken to the
New Grand. Central hotel and brought
face td face with the -room where the
act was done, He saw the bloody, mat
tress and blood bespattered walls, but I
never flinched, all the time saying he
was still In a drunken stupor, ar.d could :
not remember what he had been doing.
When questioned at the detective, bu
reau, he said he was a married man and
that his wife and two daughters now
live at 212 Eleventh avenue, Seattle.
Continuing, he said he met Johnson and
the woman on the train coming from
Spokane. ,
Davis and other baggage men broTte
open the trunk and found the horrible
sight of a man's body twisted and blood
covered. The police were notified, and
Detectives Price, Carpenter, Mallett and
Sergeant Golts took up the case. ' It
was found that J. H. Shaw took the
trunk to the depot. This was tracked
back to the New Grand Central hotel,
where J. H. Long, a bellboy, had given
the trunk to the expressman. Long said
It came from the room of A. C. Powers,
who later proved to be J. P. Webb.
The trunk and murdered than were
removed to the undertaking parlors of
Dunning. McEntee & Gllhaugh. An ex
amination showed the man had been
beaten over the head, and shot through
both temples. A bloody shirt had also
been tightly tied around his neck. The
man had been dead about five hours.
The detectives then traced the, case
back to the. boteL. and .found he was W.
A. Johnson, and that he came to the
hotel with1 a woman and son, who were
represented to be his wife and son. They
also found that Webb came with them.
and was seen. with him throughout the
day. .' . . . ,, .., r- ..
Ater arriving in Portland, the hree,
with the boy, engaged rooms at the
hotel. They arrived at thp hotel at
about 7:30 yesterday morning. During the
day, Webb. says, he and Johnson had
several drinks, and that they also drank
several bottles of beer tn- the rooms of
Johnson and the' woman, and that the
woman drank. . . -
Shortly before' noon Webb and John
son took a streetcar ride and went to
-jtTib City Park. - They returned and had
several more drinks, when Johnson was
put to bed.
All Have Lunch.
Webb then says he. the woman and
the boy had lunch, and that the woman
said she would pack her effects In a
new trunk which Johnson Had bought
for her. When she; had the trunk
packed, Webb admits roping and lock-
ing.jt History from here on is very
Indefinite- and he is unable to explain
his actions. .However, he says, shortly
before 6 o'clock he and the woman en

and wanted to marry her and take
care of the boy. He gave her consld
erable money, and they planned coming
to Portland, where she would secilfe

they would marry. The woman admits
that Webb appeared on the scene in
Spokane before their departure, but
cannot state how long' before. She also
admits telling Webb she and JOhnson
planned corning to Portland and that
she told Webb what train, they would
take. They took the train and Webb
met them sooa . after ' they left Spo

Mrs. Kersh then takesup the story
told by Webb that they agreed to go to
the New Grand Central hotel and that
she and Johnson, registered as rnan and
wife, while Webb took a nearbyroom.
She says they had breakfast, anl that
Johnson and Webb 'were In and fjrouhd

several drinks together; The woman
further tells of the trip of the two men
to the City park and that they returned

,: She and Webb and the boy had lunch
and the three returned to her room. It
was ' there,' she .states, , that Johnson
gave her the $1800 In the presence , of
Webb. As Johnson gave her the money
he hugged . and kissed her, whereupon
Webb cursed and said that If Johnson
did that again he would kill him. The
woman put the money in her stocking.
Soon after this, she says, she wanted to
change her effects from the old to the
new trunk, and went to the roofn of
Webb, where the trunks had been taken
upon orders of Webb.
The woman says she left Johnson
asleep. That was the last she saw of
him alive. For the next couple of hours
she Is unable to explain definitely what
she did, except to say that": she was
packing her new trunk. Shortly before
6 o'clock she remembers Webb proposing
they have dinner, and aoon after that
they went to the Willamette rooming
house, from which place they started
on their ride in the automobile. Her
story of what she did In the afternoon
and evening was very unsatisfactory
to Detectives Carpenter and Price who
led her over and over tne case.
The detectives questioned J. H. Long,
the bellboy, who positively Identified
Webb as the man who directed him, to
get the trunk containing the dead body
to the station. He told that Webb asked
him to get the trunk from the hallway
about S o'clock, and that he wheeled It
to the expressman.
John C. WoohlerC checkman at, tho
baggage room, said be checked the trunk
to Ndrth Puyallup and that the man for
whom he checked It looked like Webb.
Woohlert further said the man had a
small boy with him. After checking the
trunk he rolled It across the room. It

Detectives Price and Carpenter are
of the firm opinion thai Webb Is the
man who killed Johnson and attempted
to ship his body out of the city. They
are undecided . aa to what connection
Mrs. Kersh had wlthj the crime, but
think she knows more than she has told.
Webb, appears not to . realize his -situation,
while the woman cries at times
and then declares she knows 'nothing
of the killing. She appears to be a wo
man who has led a fast life. Today she
wore' an elegant black .silk dress.
Mrs. Kersh ' says Johnson owned 'a
ranch- half ' way - between Seattle and
Tacoma, near Renton. She further rays
that he sold his ranch within the. past
two months, and the money he gave her
yesterday was part of the proceeds of
the sale. Johnson was about, 48 years

There Is a letter Of recommendation on
the notepaper of the Grant Paving com
pany, of Omaha, Neb.; dated November
14, 1889, and signed A. C. Powers.
Webb, in his statement, was unable to
explain satisfactorily why he used the
name of A. C. Powers when he regis
tered at the New Grand Central hotel.
He said, though, that Powers : really
existed and that he had been his "boss"
in Omaha. The Jetter explained , that
Webb had worked for . the Grant Pav
ing company .during the years Of 1898
and 1899 as "an accountant of materla
and timekeeper." ? ;
Receipts, filled out in full, showed he
purchased a typewriter at Nelson, B. C,

lIURDERED MAN IN
TRUNK WAS BEATEN,
NOT SHOT TO DEATH
W. A. Johnson, the man murdered in
the New Grand Central hotel and put
Into , a trunk, was not shot as was at
first supposed, but was beaten to death.
according to the autopsy conducted this
afternoon. He died from concussion of
the, brain and partly from strangula
tion, his shirt sleeve having been tied
so tightly around his neck thait had
to be cut off.- , , f i. .
The testimony given at the inauest
which is being conducted this afternoon,
shows that Frank Dane,, deputy coroner,
deserves much of thecredit for the ap
prehension of the man and woman sup
posed .to have done the killing. Dane
was called to the depot and made an
examination of the body, but found
nothing to distinguish it except the
marks "W. A. J." on some of the cloth
ing. As he turned to leave after mak
ing his examination a man in the crowd
told . of two people , who , had rented a
room at his lodging house earlier in
the evening and left a child there. This
was A. H. Davis, proprietor of the Wil
lamette lodging house, at Sixth and
Stark streets.
'Dane made an ' Investigation of , the
rooms rented by the strange man and
woman and found a bottle of benzine,
Often used for washing off blood stains.
a bottle of peroxide and a box of face
powder. He made the examination i of
the room at 10:30 o clock and then Jse-
cured police, officers to watch the room.
After waiting from 2:30 o'clock' to 3
the couple appeared and were arrested
after a struggle. . -
