Man Under Death Sentence
Repeals Story "of Johnson

Before a crowded "courtroom In Judre
Morrow's department, Jesse' P. Webb,
under death sentence for the murder of
W. A. Johnson, whose body, ho crowded
Into a trunk, retold the story of the
killing and of Jjls relations with Mrs.
Carrie Kersh, the woman who is now on
trial for the same crime, charged by the
state with being as guilty as he.
.Webb took the stand as a. witness for
the defense, seeking to save the life of
the woman with whom he lived in Spo
kane and. elsewhere as husband and
wife. He narrated once more how he
killed Johnson with a blackjack, which
ne said he wrenched from ? Johnson's
hand after. Johnson had advanced upon
him and struck him. , He denied that
Mrs. ' Kersli , had planned with him to
kill Johnson or to rob him, and said he
never told her he had killed Johnson In
a fight in the New Grand Central hotel.

Webb for the most part adhered to
th story ne told on his own trial.
Under the merciless cross-examination
of Deputy District 'Attorney Fitzgerald
be remained " self -possessed, ; admitting
his intimate relations with Mrs. Kersh,
but denying the 'psrts of the state's
testimony tending to show,: that they
had arranged to leave Spokane together.
t With 'a stay of execution from . the
hangman's noose until February 1, and
the likelihood that the supreme court
will not pass 6n the case for months
after that date,4Webb seems cheerful
and frequently smiled in chatting with
his keeper and his counsel. ; Mrs. Kersh,
on, the other hand, seems" to- be in
creasingly worried . as the trial pro
gresses... r.i':'y;r- 'U:;'VV,
Seneca Fouts and John C McCue,
conducting " the ' defense,' have practi
cally decided not to place her on the
stand. ' They say they ; had ; Intended
doing so until the prosecution had read
her statement after the arrest Into the
testimony. ; This is the same story she
would tell if made a witness, they say,
and 1 would consume ' much time going

A night session was held last.nlghl
to. expedite the hearing of the case.
At this session Webb was the only wit

today he was still under cross-examination.
- The state closed its case last
night , . '. , ;
- Mrs. John Gamble,, wife of the pro
prietor of the New Grand Central hotel,
one of the last, witnesses for the state,
is regarded as adding strength to the
case, against -Mrs.- Kerslr-overthe last
trial. She said 'that between S. and 8

the hotel dining ,room, and Mrs. : Kersh
was counting s, rou of Dills. , ? - i

Webb. The, state's theory is that the
money had already been taken from the
Intoxicated man, and Webb was plotting
with Mrs, Kersh to dispose of Johnson,
so they could travel on the money and
the victim would not "squeal." -

Believe Best Results Can C:
Obtained if Campaign Is
Under One Head. .
The state board of health took de
cisive' action in three; matters of im
portance to the health of Oregon peo
ple at tne biennial meeting which was
ended late last night in Salem. An
appropriation of $15,000 instead of $5000
was urged s to carry on the work.
A resolution was' passed asking that
the state health officer give bis entire
time to 4he work and that his salary
be made $5000 a year. ,
A .resolution pledging the board to
fight for a consolidation of the offices
of state board of health and state
dairy and food commissioner was unan
imously adopted, the idea being that
the state board of health, or a properly
qualified commission, be given super
vision, of the enforcement of all Ore
gon health laws and that the executive
officers be the state health officer,
dairy and food commissioner, state vet
erinarian and state- bacteriologist
, Resolutions asking that no nurse be
employed unless ; shev has been vacci
nated, and that school ' children be
vaccinated; Valso J that no tubercular
teacher be employed, were adopted. .
.-Oregon' Spends little.
The annual report of the board re
cited that while the health, . well being
and bodily vigor ,ot the people are a
state's , groatest asset, Oregon spends
but seven-tenths of one per " cent per
capita annually for this protection. No
adequate appropriation is made to con
trol 'epidemics, to , eradicate . typhoid,
tuberculosis and other contagious and
infectious diseases. . Lacking stringent
regulations and the-power to enforce
them evert the fresh water streams of
the state have become sewers, the wator
from; which is dangerous to drink, too
filthy to bathe in and even the fl.sh
are infected . and ; are being , rendered

At the same time with Its "niggardly
appropriation" of $5000 a year remark
able results are shown by the report
to. have been accomplished by the state
health board. Typhoid epidemics due to
poisoned water supply have been con
