Witness. Says Johnson. Alive
When Trunk in Which His
Body Was Found Later Was
,v Brought to Hotel.
Another unexpected booa for the de
n fense ,in the trunk murder trial today
was what the testimony of the state's
most Important witness proved -to be.
Jesse ,ong, 'bellboy at, the New Grand
Central hotel, swore in the Webb trial
that he saw Johnson alive after he bad
delivered the new trunk bought by Mrs.
Kersh to Webb's room, i Today he said
that he saw' Johnson 'standing In the
door of room 111 at about f o'clock
- In the afternoon. , Other witnesses have
1 already testified that the trunk was
not brought to the hotel until after 4
o'clock. Lone admitted today that , he
was mistaken In , several Important
statements made previously on the wit
"ness stand. . This proves to be a most
important point for the defense. . .
It the stats can convlnoe the Jury
that Mrs. Keren bought the trunk be
fore Webb killed Johnson It will tend
to show that a . conspiracy did exist
between Webb and Mrs. Kersh. But
If the trunk was bought after the mur
der1 and this Is the contention of the
defense then' the case of the .state Is
materially weakened. , ,- i
. Tells Conflicting- Stories.
Long testified today that he brought
the baggage of '.he Webb-Kersh-John-son
party up to the rooms engaged by
the party at about 9:80 In the mornlnff.
When Long testified in the Webb trial
yho said he had delivered the baggage at
about , 11 o'clock. Cross-examined by
Attorney John C. MeCue for the defense
today, Long said that he was mistaken
in the former trial.' :
Today the bellboy said be did not
help, to load the trunk with body In It
upon the ' express wagon which hauled
It to the union depot In the Webb
trial he swore thcthe assisted the ex
pressman to put the : trunk on the
wagon, i ,
In a number of other, statements he
contradicted himself, fie finally adT
mitted that he could not "positively fix
the time of any of the incidents men
tioned by him. He stoutly maintained
nevertheless, that he had seen Johnson
-after ha brought the new trunk up to
Webb's room,
'. Sotleed Bandage.
Mrs.. Alice avis, who was the land
lady of the Willamette hotel at the
time of the murder, testified that Webb
and Mrs. Kersh and Mrs. Keren's son
came to the hoel onJhe evening of
June 20. . ,
"They asked me," said the' witness,
"if they- could leave the boy at the
hotel while they , would be gone on an
automobile ride. I, told them they could.
The man and the woman and the boy
then went out. They came back later
and staid in room 23 Until 10:15. At
that time Webb and Mrs, Kersh left the
hotel The boy remained In the room
asleep." ,
Mrs, Davis then told of the return of
the Joy riders and of their arrest by
the polics at Z o'clock the next morn.
ing. She said Webb resisted arrest
Attorney Fouts cross examined Mrs.
. Davis, eliciting the fact that Webb left
the room in the Willamette hotel sev
eral times In the evening before .going
on. the auto trip She noticed a bands go
on Webb's hand after his second trip
; from the hotel.
Describes Joy, Ride.
Irene Trumbull, a hairdresser, 'told of
her trip to Mabel 8pere"s road house
with Mrs. Kersh and Webb. v .
;"I met them first at the Cliff Inn
on the nlrht of June 20," said Miss
Trumbull; "Mrs. Kersh invited me to
have a drink with her and Webb and
.their chauffeur, A, H. Randall I had a
few drinks with, them and then .we
danced. -'.
"After we had had a few dances Mra
Kersh said she must go, -I agreed to
follow her to the next road house, Lake

went back to town and a little later,, by
appointment, Mrs. Kersh and Yebb
, picked me up at my hotel on Third and
Ash streets. v
"From there we went to Mabel

a few" more drinks." -. .
; v MIbs Trumbull said that when she
met Mrs. Kersh at the Cliff Inn the
woman had shown her a roll of bills in
her stocking.. ., ,
"She told me, said the witness,' "that
she was then going under the name of
' Johnson. '. She said she waa going to
San Francisco to open a rooming house,"
.- Webb paid for Auto.
In response to questions by Deputy
Fitsgerayi the witness said that- Mrs.
X Kersh Had told her that Mrs. Kersh

1 Oomtrudlot Wshb'S Story.
Testimony of two hotel runners yes
terday afternoon contradicted Webb's
story that Johnson had suggested that
the party go to the New Grand Central
hotel. C C. Cooper and George B. Cur
ley were the witnesses that gave this
testimony, They said that Webb, Mrs,
Kersh, Johnson and Mrs, Kersh's little
son all came through the exit from . the
train shed together and that they heal
tated In front of the line of omnibuses
until Webb pointed out the New Grand
Central bus. They all got In that bus
then and were driven to the hotel'
M. J. Plover, conductor on the Pull'

testified that Webb took a berth on the
rear car at Spokane and that Mrs.
Kersh and Johnson boarded a car in

The state Introduced the hotel run
nsrs and the Pullman conductor to make
It appear that . Webb and Mrs. Kersh
had been following out a plan alleged
to have been concocted by them in Spo
kane!
(hurley Had Bees Drinking.
The defense sought to discredit Cur-
ley's testimony by showing to the Jury
that he had been drinking. On cross ex
amination Curley Admitted that he had
been drinking. On cross , examination
Curley admitted that he had three or
rour drinks OI Whiskey, He said, how
ever, that It generally took more than
that much to make htm drunk.
George KarlL clerk of the Nsw Grand
Central hotel, William Shaw, express
man, who hauled the trunk with -its dead
freight to the union depot, David Stem
the nawnbroker who sold the ttrunk to
Mrs! Kersh; Albert Link who hauled the
trunK m his express wagon irotn toe
pawnbrokers store to the hotel, ' and
Hoy Crittenden a bell boy, ' were also
on the stand, i They contributed nothing
that had not already been brought out
in the Webb trial, though several of
the witnesses made contradictory state
ments. Bteln added something to what he said
when a witness in the Webb trial. He
has evidently brushed up his memory
since that time, for yesterday hs do
scribed two rolls of bills, which he said
Mrs. Kersh had when she purchased the
trunk. He gave' the Impression that
one of these was three Inches .thick and
that it contained $100 bills. - A package
of these bills of that thickness. It Is
said, would contain 118,000.
' The packet of bills now In the pos
session of the clerk of the court 'is only
half an Inch In thickness and It con
tains less than $2000.
Stein amused the Jurors by his an
swers on being cross examined. He was
asked, on one occasion, what color were
the bills exhibited by Mrs. Kersh. He
replied, "They were United States col
ors." "FRISCO QUEEN" WAS ..

Hawley is in Jackson oounty, making a
still hunt campaign for . reelection to
congress. It was plain from the talk
that he made In his canvass that he
expects to be reelected on the strength
of the pork-barrel appropriations that
ne secured. - w.
. It Is suspected that Mr. Hawley la In
a measure a fugitive, for he has been
challenged by his opponent Robert" G.
Smith, to a Joint debate, and he Is
keeping as far away from Smith as pos
slble, the latter being in the other end
of the district. .
Ir. Hawley came to Woodville un
heralded, and started In shaking the
hands of the Evans creek ranchers as
they came Into town with their prod
uce as though, he felt sure that If he
secured their votes he would be re
turned to congress.-
Mr. 'Hawley made no speeches while
at Woodville, except those to Individ
uals as he handed out his cards, and
when he left the town he gave no hint
of his Itinerary for the balance of the
campaign. It Is generally thought at
Woodville, however, that Mr. Hawley
is keeping thoroughly posted as to the
whereabouts 'of his opponent, and that
he will continue to pursue ' Fablajn
policy until the close of the campaign,
making a close study of the map and the
timetable and keeping as far from Mr.

The question- of the street railway

over the section of Willamette boule
vard lying between their boundaries to
the city of Portland the Question has
been simmering as to whether the street
car company could not be induced to
lay tracks along , the boulevard all the
way from St Johns to Portland. The
county Is willing- to , turn over a sec
tion of the boulevard to St Johns when
it Is ready to take it over. The con
struction of such a route would reduces
the -time employed in the Journey to
Portland considerably and would give
8t. Johns at 'the- most a".5-mlnute
service. Added to this it would provide
a scenic trip through one of the most
beautiful landscapes on the Pacific
coast and would : be a source of joy to
thousands of excursionists. A com

how lit 1885 the legislature confirmed
that grant, despite the popular theory
of law that a legislature has no power
to extend such a grant- Then It was
that West framed a bill which was In
troduced at the Is et legislature tending
to revoke the grant, and which wy
acted upon favrrably by the legislature,
