'If that be so," answered Kltchln,
"you need.no duty to protect the grow

The favorite lilies, the typical flower

abundance last night. People carried
them on the streets, they nodded from
the windows of every house in the city,
and they are lining the aisles of the
churches that today celebrate the resur

carnations and various bright flower

president of that institution is defend
ant, contemplated entering a plea of
insanity to escape a heavy penitentiary
sentence and did so on the advice of
hla attorfney. George W. Tannehill, who
Is now associate counsel for the defend
ant In the case, was the very interest
ing development of the trial this afternoon.
liobnett admitted that he stole money
from the Lewlston National bank and
transferred it to a bank at Vale, Or.
He denied that he had said that If the
Judge trying his case could be "fixed"
so he would secure a light penitentiary
sentence he would "come across" and
give testimony that would save Ketten
bach. On the contrary, he declared In
ducements were made to him by a rep
resentative of Kettenbach to give such
testimony and he refused.
The. afternoon session was one long
continuation of interesting develop
ments. Robnett declared that he never
had a conversation about admitting that
Kettenbach would have shot him had
he been In Lewlsrton when the bank
shortage, was discovered, or that he had
heard Kettenbach Intended to kill him
ami was afraid this would be done. "I
Khould say not," sharply replied the
bookkeeper.
He said he testified before the grand
Jury that considered the bank case and
told the truth because tho blapte was
being foisted upon himself and Chap

the defendants before one grand Jury
