MANSLAUGHTER IS
VERDICT IN TRIAL
OF CARRIE KERSH
(Continued From Page One.)
and the ballot showed. 12 votes favoring
. ',that degree" f. guilt. ;k-,A-:i' V,y;E"M
Word was immediately sent to Judge
, Morrow, who arranged to receive the
verdict at o'clock. Mrs. Kersh. : was
half carried Into the room.-- The . Jury
filed In,: and the verdict 'was delivered
to the court. As Judge Morrow opened
and read their decision, he leaned back
In his big awlvel chair,- and-appeared
well pleased, looking first at the wo
man and then at Deputy District Attor
ney Collier,, who had assisted In prose
cuting her. When the word "guilty"
was reached In the verdict, as the Judge
read It, Mrs. Kersh completely col
lapsed, and had to be Carried back to
I her cell In the matron's department of
i the county Jail. . v .. ... i .,:
A review of the deliberations of the
Jury show that they were desperately in
, earnest Unusual precautions taken by
the court. in keeping their actions strict-
ly secret, caused more than usual anx
lety over their results. ;
Mr. Tomasinl this morning said:
Belstea Bis Attitude. ,
. . "My chief reason for holding out for
an acquittal was that I believed the
state had failed to prove the charge
made in the Indictment According to
the testimony, circumstances, .and evi

There was a poesible doubt in my

other Jurors, except two, could not see
anythlsgbut a first degree verdict
T was not alone In this opinion,
ither. Fot-the first 24 hours, there
"Iwere three of us, who stood for an ac-
qultUL. , Besides . ,ayself. Mr. .Whit
v taker and Mr. Jarvls voted for an.ae
' quittal,-The other nine voted for muN
dor in the first degree, Some- time
Sunday, Mr.' Jarvls was won over to the
extreme penalty, , leaving s myself and
1 Mr,- Whittaker for an acquittal Late
Sunday afternoon the i vote showed
was standing-alone for her f reedom.
Svlde&co of eon Oullt.
'It was argued: that- aiflrst degre
murder . veraiet meant hanginr. . Mr.
Whittaker 'did not strongly believe in
hanging anyone on circumstantial evi
dence. He later .voted ; f pr a lighter
penalty, x coma not even see a second
degree verdict- However,: according to
. the evidence there appeared to be some
guilt and I made up my mind to agree
on a' lesser verdict and held, this Idea
for the last 24 hours of our delibera
tion. When the 11 men eame down to a
manslaughter ; verdict, I , voted with
- them." : . . .- ..(;:.'
During the 72-hour contest for a de
cision in the matter, the Jury cast more
than 100 ballots. At times, the arm
nenta ware hot but the lone Juror held
to his convictions and caused the- other
men to descend runff by 'rung ;to the
?owBt Tnrrhir penalty."""" r-
At no time In the course of their de
1 Sficrations did the 12 men cease their
fforts 1 rearh eatiafactoryanjiiwer
to the charge made by the state. Their
.ii'Hn Tan lt niiht plainly Indicated
t o m ruin, thfy had bern un(l"r. TJnllks
tiiat heard the flrkt trial of
Mrs". Kersh which irpent '.considerable
time in playing sol o, the second set of
men plainly realized the seriousness of
the charge;, Four times they came back
to Judge Morrow for further explanation
of certain points In the testimony and
Instructions. Twice they asked to be
discharged, saying they were unable to
reach a verdict These requests came
from the men fighting for a first de
gree verdict and ! now taken to mean
that they thought they could force Tom
asinl. to their side of the question.,
I ; . ' Told to Continue. . .
At each request . for a ' .discharge,
Judge Morrow sent word for them to
continue, not giving any Indication that
he would let them go until they had
reached a verdict and settled the case.
When thf Jurors came for Instructions
Judge Morrow would offer as much
light as possible on their questions and
at many points In the conference. At
torneys Seneca Fouts and John McCue,
representing Mrs. Kersh, took exceptions
to his exDunatlona'P :'?".:
In Judge Morrow's instructions to the
Jury, he charged that In order to find
her guilty of second degree murder or
manslaughter, they must find that she
was present when Johnson waa killed.
The story or the murder dates back to
Spokane, where Mrs. Kersh waa living
with Johnson. She had known Jesse P,
Webb. The three came to' Portland,
where Johnson proposed buying the
woman a rooming . house. ' Webb was
not then known to Johnson. They ar
rived here June 20, and went to the New
Grand Central hotel. ' ; ' '
-Carouse After Vardar.. .--'
The next afternoon Webb killed John
son In the latter'a room with a black
jack. That evening Webb and the woman
visited road houses, and were arrested
early the following morning, when they
came back to Portland, : v
Before leaving the hotel, Webb stuffed
Johnson's body In the trunk of Mrs.
Kersh, and checked It to North Puyallup,
Wash, The trunk waa opened at the
baggage room of the Union station, when
blood dripped from It Webb eon f eased
to killing Johnson, saying he did It In
self-defense. He also admitted attempt
ing to send the body out of town. He
further testified Mrs. Kersh had nothing
to do with the affair and did not know
the man had been ' killed. W.ebb was
convicted of tmrVder in the first degree
and sentenced to bo hanged. His time
has been extended for 10 days pending
an appeal. :VVV'-,,; : if: . V';'.:'
Un. Kersh was Jointly charged with
tho crime and the first Jury failed to
agree. She will be sentenced January 5
by Judge Morrow, but Attorneys Fouts
and McCue wul ask for an appeal.
Deputy District , Attorneys Fltsgerald
and CoUler prosecuted the case. ; The
following men served on the last Jury:
