of testimony, 'iiien the court will allow
an hour longer for re-cross examination
and an hour more for re-direct examina
tion." Gun Is Topic
. Prosecutor Wendenburg on cross ex
amination endeavored vainly 'to secure
from Beattle an admission of his owner
ship of the gun.
After only seven minutes he con
cluded, the defense waived the privilege
of re-dlrect examination, and the prison
er was excused. His attorney. Smith,
then announced that the defense was
closed. '
On rebuttal Henry Latham teetlfied
that on the Thursday night before the
crime he heard Henry Beattle, at the
telephone, say:
"Meet me at Short and Main streets
in half an hour. I'll be there."
That Is where Paul Beattle said he
met Henry. The defendant yesterday
categorically denied Latham's testi
mony and Attorney Smith desperately
fought against Its admission.
Youth Overheard Henry.
Latham added that he had heard
Henry tell a youth on th trt thr I
he was going as far. as Short and Main
streets.
Cross examination failed to change
Latham's testimony which was also
corroborated by W. R, Hart.
Mrs. Houchens, Paul Beattla's mother-in-law,
testified that she answered a
telephone call for Paul on Thursday
night preceding the murder and that
she recognized the voice as Henry's.
After Paul had come to phone she heard
htm say. "I want to see you at Short
and Main streets. Be sure to be there."
Mrs. Houchens said that Paul then
telephoned to "Mrs. Fischer" (Beulah
Blnford) and went. out, returning later
in an automobile, and saying "good
night, Henry," as he entered the house.
John Josephs and John McEvoy testi
fied to seeing Henry and Paul Beattle
together on Thursday night.
The defense was then allowed to
briefly reopen its case and John Blair,
ona of the boys who were Joyriding the
night of the murder, swore he was con
vinced the car he saw on the turnpike
was numbered Dll and thus could not
have been Beattlc's car.
Tells of Meetlny Beulah.
Beattle's cross-examination yesterday
brought out the admission that his 11-
18 i licit relations with Beulah Blnford be
gan a week after he first met her.
Beulah was only 13 years old at the
time, but tho defendant claimed he did
not know theiwafntlmacy was illegal, as
the girl appeared much older.
After Seattle had denied having writ
ten a letter to Mrs. Blnford regarding
the adoption of Beulah's child, Wenden
burg produced the letter In question,
and the prisoner was forced to admit
that he was the author. ,H waa de
cided before Beattle's cross-examination
began that it would not be neces
sary for the prisoner to give a repro
duction of the part he played when the
murder occurred with the automobile
as a "prop."

Laren asked the press to say that Webb
never cut up the body of Johnson when
putting it in the truck.
After the scene was over It was an
nounced that Governor West had ex
acted a pledge from Webb, his wife
and his daughter never to ask for an
other consideration.
Webb is therefore unalterably a pris
oner for life.
Chaplain Bauer' broke the news to
Webb and his family at 11 o'clock. Mrs.
Webb and her daughter oame back to
Salem this morning. Thpy went in to
see him at 12:40 o'clock.
While several declared th'ey had
"hunches" that Wtbb would be saved,
as many claimed the same Intuitive
knowledge that he would han, until
within five minutes of the fatal mo
ment. Cannot Bear to Bee Family.
Webb spent the last week of his life
in almost solitary confinement. Save
for an occasional visit from a priest oi
a minister of the gospel, no one saw
him excepting the officials in charge.
His daughter visited his cell a few
hours before it was learned that Judge
Eakln of the supreme court would deny
the final appeal for. a writ of probable
cause and a stay oi execution. At that
I time she was hopeful Justice Eakln
would grant the appeal. Soon after
hearing that the appeal" had been de
nied the girl left Salem with her moth
er, and the two remained in Portland,
not seeing Webb again. Webb at that
time had sent them an urgent request
to see him no more.
Declaring that the newspapers were
responsible for his conviction, Webb re
quested that reporters not be permitted
to interview him In his cell. It has
beep the custom since Governor Cham
berlain's administration not to admit
newspaper interviews with prisoners.
In the case of condemned men these In
terviews are allowed, however, upon the
prisoner's own request.
"High Type of Murderer."
"Far more intellectual and of a higher
type than the ordinary man who com
mits such a crime" is the way in which
Superintendent C. W. Jamea speaks of
Webb. Webb discussed his crime and
his fate in a calm and Intelligent man
ner at all timed. He said there was
no such a thing aa premeditation of
the crime, and that nothing of the kind
could ever be made of it He declared
Mrs. Kersh knew ncthing of the murder
I until after it had bjsen committed. He
admitted the folly of the hideous dls-
iposal of Johnson' body after his al
leged accidental killing of him. He also
explained the fatal joy ride with Mrs,
I Kersh as a desperate and confused ef
fort on his part to keep all knowledge
of the killing from the woman.
t The crime in Brief.
The body of W. A. Johnson, a farmer
from eastern Washington, wag found
crammed in a trunk at the union station
and waa tagged or North Puyallup, on
the night of June 0, 19X0. It was later
found out that Johnson had. been mur
dered about 2:30 the afternoon of the
day the trunk waa discovered in room
in the New Grand Central' hotel.
. The motlv?,of the. murder' was to ob

that way the chief Is in constant touch
with every man. In Portland a police
man may call up headquarters from the !

way to tell whether he Is covering his j

"The policemen in Vancouver are
changed every month,, while here we,
have had men on a single beat for
years. Under our system the favorites
in the department got the best beats
and those who were not on the inside I
had to take the worst of it This Isn't !
right or fair. I Intend- to work out a
monthly change system and put it Into :

Mr. Coffey said he expected his visit j
to the north to result in a number of I
changes which would Improve the police I
department here. He was highly pleased
with the way the department Is managed
In Vancouver. He said the uniformed ;
men and the detectives worked In per
fect harmony, which is a condition that 1

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color; Dandruff
Quickly Removed.
There is nothing new about the Idea
of using sage fdr restoring the color of
the hair. Our great-grandmothers kept
their locks soft dark and glossy by
using a "sage tea." Whenever their
hair foil out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance they made a brew
of sage leaves and applied it to their
hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
old-time, tiresome methods of gathering
the herba and making the tea. This Is
done by skillful chemists better than we
could do it ournelves, and all we have to
do is to call for the ready-made product
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, containing' sag in the proper
strength, with the addition of surphur,
another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturer of this remedy
authorise druggists to sell it under guar
antee that the' money will be refunded
if It falls to do exactly aa represented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sag and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference, after a
