Had It not been for the existence of a

confessed, lie knew that was a lie, and
i it had no influ fiioft upon him, because
, lie knew Ms, Kersh had no knowledge of
the crime. Because of this treatment,
these promises and threats, paid Webb,
lio finally gave in and made a state
ment. Detectives Mafce Denial. ., ,
Webb's statements were denied in de
tail by the detectives concerned. Car
penter said he did not strike Webb or
punch him, except to subdue him when
Webb resisted arrest, nor did he ad
dress an oath to him in urging him to
confess. He only told the prisoner he
could make a statement if he wished.
Mallett denied making the remark at
tributed to him by Webb and said the1
prisoner was informed that any state
ment he made might be used against
him by Deputy District Attorney F1U
gerald' before the statement was made.
Detective Graves said he told Webb
the same thing, and Webb also told him
he did not care for breakfast, as his
stomach was in bad shape. At the time
of the noxt Sinner hour Webb was en
gaged in making hla statement. , ,-:
.Detective PrlcV denied having told
Webb It would be better for him to con
fess, - but said he told ,the prisoner if
he had killed Johnson he ought to tell
about it, and tell all about it, just as it
happened. Fouts sked Price if he and
Carpenter do not compose the "sweat

As to the statements regarding Mrs.
Kersh, the detectives said they told
Webb, not that she ; had confessed, but
that she had made a statement telling
of her troubles and her relations with
Webb and that Webb had told her of
the killing of Johnson.

The clash over alleged "third degree"
wethodH of the detectives was precipi
tated yesterday Afternoon when the
(ate called Jits, J ulla, K. Sayre, a. sten
ographer, and attempted to place before
the1 Jury, the 'statement mad by Webb

objbotd7 and ask?dtd' plaae WeBb.-etf
'thflf stand , to show how he.! liad , been
haodleu.'- Judge i Morrow granted this
request and most of the afternoon was
consumed in thla Inquiry. ;
, Webb-said he was hit oh the head
.'when arrefted, handouffed,? locked up
In ' the police station, and deprived of
aleep, except for cat naps, the rest of
thi night, as people continually came
to eee him or look at htm. About 8
o'clock the next morning he was taken
Out by three detectives, photographed
twice on the street, taken to the Grand
. CeafraL hoieita- vtewthecne- of the
tragedy, and In the afternoon taken by
Detectives Carpenter and Mallett to the
morgue. ' , , - ,:. .,. , ,. ,
; . Webb- saidL pn "this trip -he was pa-
raded on the street In his undershirt.
There were many people looking on, and
one of the detectives remarked that in
the south, wbjre he came from, people
would lynch a man under such circum
stance. '

A they were - leaving the morgue,
Webb, said, Carpenter ... gave him a dig
In the ribs with the elbow that he felt
for two weeks. At the same time Car-
"Cdhfei
son said he did not.
The theory of the state Is that John
son rang the .bell by staggering against
the electric pusli, button, on Ihe wall.
Lopg said he was dressed in, 'trousers.
undershirt and etocktng feet, exactly the
attire in which his-lifeless body Was
found In the trunk.
- Boy's Memory Oood.
If the bellboy is correct about the
time he saw Johnson, the state's theory
of the crime is sustained. Johnson must
have been beaten or strangled to death
within a few minutes after hwas seen
by the bellboy; and hie warm,-bleeding
body thrust into the trunk immediately
fthereafter In order to reach th depot at
uroes examination or the:. toeiiboy by

could not be mistaken as to the time he

was stopping. The cross examination
ended abruptly, Fouts evidently Intend
ing to argue from this that Long's mem
ory is not to be depended upon.
W. E. Robson, city Jailer, Identified
two watches taken from Webb after his
arrest, also a key, to hie .room in the
