Wflilll Oil TRIAL
SECOND TIIE FOR
F
r
Appearing pale anC worn after her
'long confinement In Jail, but calm and
smiling In the face of the ordeal she
must endure, Mrs. Carrie Keren waa led
into Judge Morrow's department of the
t circuit court this morning to be tried
f tor the second time on. the charge of
murder in the first-degree for the death
of W. A. Johnson, who was, slain by
Jesse P. Webb in a' room In the New
Grand Central hotel on the afternoon of
June 20. ' ', '
A large number, of .witnesses and the
i advance guard .'of curious, spectators
crowded the little courtroom in which
i the examination of talesman, for Jury
' duty was' taken up.. . All .except those
who could obtain seats' were excluded
from the courtroom by Judge Morrow,
and the corridor W&s Kept cleared' for
some distance back. A. K. Stewart was
appointed a special ' bailiff i. tp help
.handle thecrqwds.'-. A :' ' i .
fXak Good Progress, . ,.'
' Unexpectedly ' good ; progress , was
vttnade toward the choice of. a Jury-this
. morning -When court adjourned at
'noon six men had been passed for cause
y; by, the' attorneys on both sides, only
. ' three out of the : first nine being- ex
cused by the court If this speed is
maintained 12 men will be in the Jury
box before night and peremptory chal
lenges will be in order. A night ses
sion will be held, beginning at 7:30. '
Prospective . Jurymen -were closely
questioned as to what they have read
In the newspapers about the killing of
Johnson, the conviction of J. P. Webb,
and the previous trial of Mrs. Kersh,
when the Jury stood eight to four in
favor of conviction. They Were asked
if the conviction of Webb and the sen
tence of death imposed upon him would
influence them against the woman who
traveled to Portland from Spokane with
Webb and Johnson. All answered It
would not t-' ; ' .
Deputy District Attorney ntxgerald
was also particular in asking the men
offered as Jurors if they would deal
with a woman Just as they would
man, and vote to hang her if the evi
dence convinced them. Every man ques
tional said he would vote for the con
vlctlon of a woman Just as quickly as if
the defendant were of the other sex. .
Other questions for Jurors dealt with
circumstantial evidence.. Several of the
jurors said the testimony based on cir
cumstances would have to be strong,
but they could find a verdict under the
instructions of the court
' Deputy District Attorney Fltsgerald
is assisted by Deputy . Collier for the
state,-as in the former trial, and Mrs.
Kersh is represented by the same at
torneys, Seneca Fouts and John C Mc
Cue. i- " " !
Those passed by both sides for cause
this morning were - Frank tfallock, - J.
C. Stevens.. James- Kenney,.. D.,.0. To
masJnl, Charles' Ashpole and ' Sumner
Newell. Hallock is a builder and had
formed no opinion. , '
Attorney CnaOlengM laborer." ,
v Stevens,' a civil engineer, does -not be
lieve in capital punishment, but would
render a verdict for the state If the
evidence convinced him.. Kenney is, a
street paver. He read the newspapers
freely, he said, and has an opinion,, but
can decide the case, on the testimony.
Toruaslni,. a retired business man, also
has an opinion, but could lay It aside.
Ashpole, formerly in the grocery busi
ness, was' a little doubtful about cir
cumstantial evidence in such a ease,
but finally Qualified. Newell, a book
keeper for the Portland Woolen mills,
said he had no opinion.
J. C. Schmidt & laborer, was chal
lenged by Fouts and excused without
objection after the examination had
shown that he is none too familiar with
the English language. William Eastman
was excused because he had formed a
strong .opinion. . . .." v ... ,
Had Opinion; Excused.
James Brown, the last man examined.
was allowed to go because he bad an
opinion and does not believe in the death
penalty.- Others left in the box for ex
amination are William Montag, I T.
Gllllland,; John' Ml Her and Fred W.
Richter.
The theory of the state is that while
Webb did the act of murder, beating his
victim to death with a blackjack and
then crowding the (body into a trunk,
which he tried to Bhip .out of the city,
Mrs. Kersh planned the murder with-him
and acted as a decoy for Johnson, witn
whom she was traveling as wife, Her
conduct in pretending to.be a stranger
to Webb' In Johnson's presence, although
she had been living with Webb in Spo
kane and other places, her purchase of
a new trunk in which to put her belong
ings, and her Joy ride with Webb to
the roadbouse after the murder are' cir
cumstance in the case of the state from
which, her guilty knowledge and assist
ance is argued. , , -

One of these limits the number of
restaurant liquor licenses that may be
granted to 40. There are S3 in exis
tence at present Another section added
today makes it compulsory on restau
rants selling liquor to have at least 600
feet of floor space in such cafes. Th
object of tha amendment is to ellmln

that flourish In . various parts - of the
City."
Drojrglst Uaks Demands. :.- -'
A delegation of druggists appeared
before the committee, seeking to have
the present license for drug stores re
tained. The committee listened to their
arguments,1 bat decided that the drug-
gists should pay the same license as sa-j
loons for' the selling of liquor ; other
than on prescription. At the request of
the delegation an amendment waa in
serted, permitting the sale of , liquor '
without it being: prescribed , by . phy-j
siclan. for emergency ' ' cases, r The t
amendment gives the right 7 to make j
such sales as "acts of - mercy." . i
The Oregon Hotel Men's association
was represented at the committee meet- i
ing by M. C Dickinson of the Oregon !
hotel, and Phil Metschan of the Imper-I
lal. They , asked. that . no restaurant
liquor licenses be " granted to estab
lishments having less than 1600 feet
of floor space. ' o
"It la my opinion that a legitimate
restaurant business cannot be conduct
ed if they do not cover a greater area
than 400 'square feet, the minimum
floor space provided under-the present
laws,''1 said Mr. Dickinson. The com
mittee compromised by Inserting, the
100. square feet provision. -,. i
