"My Move Now in Their ' Game," Says Fast Special ist, Whose First Witness Boosts Strongly for Her. . SptclI to Tkt Joarn1. Fort-wOrchard, Wash.. Jan. 27. Speou- latlonre"tyk whether Dr. Linda Haxzard, on trial on a first degree murder charge. ' tor having starved Claire WilliamBon to v death, would testify, was dispelled this ' afternoon, when Mrs. Hazzard unre servedly atated she would "get on the i stand and show tip that bunch. ' , ' That bunch? fs interpreted to be C, - E. Lucian, Agassis, the British vice con- . aul, and the relatives of the dead girl, at whose instigation the investigation was begun which resulted in the arrest. "They've been playing checkers, but now It's my move," said the fasting specialist, ''and I'll show them a thing or two when I get on the stand." i "Then you are going to take the3 wit ness atand. are you?' she was asked. . . : T "Ton Bet Tour Ufa." t "Too bet your, life I'm going to," she replied. Miss Nellie B. Sherman, who took the Stand for the defendant, this morning, was still under direct examination, when court adjourned at S o'clock this : afternoon. Mies Sherman ia a nurso who cared for the Williamson girls, Clair and Dorothea, in Seattle, from - March IS to April 2z, and at tha Haz- sard - sanitarium at Olalla from that time until May 1. Other Sid of the Story. ' :i Every material portion of tha testi mony given by Dorothea, slater of the deceased girl, waa absolutely contradict ed by Alias Sherman. Her testimony pictured lira. Hazzard as "a kindly, lov ing and tender mother", to the girl, with whose death Mrs.. Haxxard is ' charged, and her sister.. She atated In direct contradiction' ' to the testimony of Miss Esther Cameron.' that Frank Lilly never assisted in . giving the Wil- . liamson girls their, daily bath, other 1 than to carry the water. Dorothea Wil liamson had previously testlfed to an active part that .Frank Lilly took in the task of bathing the girls. , Tha state's counsel will make an ef- - f ortj. on Monday to delva into a suspect- - ed cult to which It is believed Miss ...Sherman Frank- Lilly, Walte Webb, the Haszarda, and others connected with the case are alleged to belong. Say Girls Sever Complained. - , She; denied tha statement of Ml.is Camerenj who testified that Miss Sher man had called her attention to the fact that by pressing upon tha abdomen of the Williamson girls, they were so thin-that their spines could be felt 8b. . stated' that the (iris never complained . at anything in ' regard : to their treat ment and 'that they were' always very friendly, and apparently had a, tender, ; loving . reeimg , for Mrs. Hastard. ' She stated that she was passing by the door , when Claire Williamson was , dictating 'the last wifhes Which were found InMrs. Haxtard's handwriting in Claire's diary, and though she said ' that she did not definitely, hear any- thing that was said, she knew Mr a. Has- - sard did not make any suggestions to Claire in regard to the disposition of her effects or her money. LAWYERS CHARGE EACH OTHER WITH PROLONGING TRIAL (Continued from Page One.) linge on the testimony Morris was ex Dec ted to rive. He ia ntaA m rhn i rect evidence of tha conspiracy alleged to have existed between Wilde and him .' self in consummating the telephone deal. He is willing to give this evi dence if the state will wipe out the big sttfck of indictments still pending against mm. unless ne pleads guilty or the case is dismissed he cannot un der the rules of law be offered as a witness against Wilde. Each Side now charewa th nth with V killing time and needlessly prolonging fours consumea in court. Dan J. ; Malarkey, chief counsel for Wilde, says Special Prosecutor Clark and Fitiger- aid are "stalling" to gain time for ne t gotiation with Morris. FlUgerald and Clark complain that Malarkey leads the . witnesses ror me state into long, wind ing paths that have nothing to do with the case. After spending over a day and a half In th witness chair, Frank H. Stow was . finally excused yesterday afternoon. It waa through Stow that Wilde's inti mate letters to Morris prior to the bank deal were Introduced, and through him that Wilde was presented to the Jury in the light of having deceived his as sociates in the Union Telephone Con struction company as to the proceeds of the deal. Traded Bonds for Houses. W. A. Currie, of 632 Elizabeth street, was tha most Interesting witness of the afternoon, he being the first of the Witnesses to show what Morris did with the 140,000 In bonds of Puget sound is sue, derived from the deal with Wilde This testimony was offered lo prove "tHat ITie property of the bank was con certed to the private .use of Morris Currie said that in March, 1807. Mor ris gave him four Tacoma telephone bonds of $1000 each to diepose of, he pelng a broker. Later Morris gave him four more. The first blo-k, lie said, he traded to -George M. Frost for a house and lot on East Seventeenth , Street, between Division and Ivon He was, requested to have the property Reeded, to 8. A. Reed, who In turn deed ed the property to Florence M. Adams and ah In turn to Olive M. Gould. The final proceeds after the last transac tion, said the witness, were $1900 and this sum was turned over to W. Cooper Aforris. . . . The second block of four bonds, Cur rle stated, was traded to W. E. Howard for a. house and two lots at 1209 Eust Wain street This property was first deeded to Ilorence M. Adams and by her to Michel Arndt. The ultimate pro ceeds .. were tuoo. ami this sum was psid to W; Cooper Morris, i riorenc Adams Morris' Stenographer , , It was shown that Florence M Ad- t Sms was .Morris' stenographer In the Oregon Trust & Savings bank. The State alleges she was a "dummy" o . over up the transactions, and that 8 A. Reed served the same purpose. Red was a treasurer of the telephone con struction company, and as declared by special Prosecutor Clark In Ills open ing statement to t a "handy man" for .'Wilde. .V".'.;' ';. V- It has not yet clearly appeared why Morris was satisfied to take $40,000 in Tacoma bonds,' instead of cash in re turn for the demand certificates of g. posit romtng from the bond purchase;. One theory Is , that it was easier to eover up the transaction by taking bends," as ' the1' sudden' Increasing v of Morris' account by .'4,(000, when be- rore ms account consiwea or an over draft, might have excited " suspicion. The means adopted in disposing of the bonds by a devious system -of trans fers Is alleged to bear out the theory of precaution to conceal . what had been done. : ; ' ' . Bookkeeper Takes Vacation. George M. Frost was called and pro duced the four bonds he received In exchange for his house and ' lot The bonds, with Interest coupons attached, were passed to the Jury box and care fully inspected, by th Jurymen. . Adolf Hctiuri, chief bookkeeper or the Oregon Trust, was called ' to Identify the telephone bond accounts and gen eral bond and warrant, account. He identified a credit slip for $40,000 in the handwriting of Oeorge Estes, head of the bank's bond department, which was his authority for entering the sale of $40,000 in Tacoma bonds. These en- tries are used to trace the bonds taken over by Morris. Malarkey, - on cross examination. brought out that Sen u Is was given a paid vacation of over a month by MOr- ria In July and August, 1907. Scliulz said be had expressed a wish to visit the Jamestown exposition, and Morris told him he could, expenses paid, if he would devote as much time as pos sible to the study of bookkeeping sys tems in eastern banks. He made the trip and said he gave more time to pos sible bookkeeping Improvements than to sightseeing. W. D. Fenton testified briefly, ex plaining; that he had temporary custody or the bonds alleged to nave been em bezzled by Morris. " This was a link !n the evidence tracing the history of the bonds. . .. Believes Signature Spurious. One of the features of yesterday was the effort of the defense to introduce a letter signed with the name of F. F. Oraves, president of the Union Tele phone Construction company, In which strong Indorsement is given Wilde and the opinion expressed that Wilde does not owe either Stow or Graves on ac count of the bond deal. Oraves Is an elderly man, living In Cleveland, Ohio. The letter was not admitted because Stow expressed the opinion that the signature of Graves is spurious. Later on the state will press for the admission of this letter, which Is claimed to be genuine. The signature gives appearance of having been writ- : ten by an Infirm hand, which the de fense alleges is due to sickness and age. Btow, comparing; the signature with an identical signature of four years earlier date, said, be did not think they' were the same.r The earlier signature bean no trace of Inflrmjty.f v. :.X.V In this connection Stow added, a new nickname. He said that - Graves , fre quently complained of being sick, and achieved the nickname of ' "Sickness" among his associates.' , . t ;:.; Another feature of Stew's testimony was the position , Into' which he was driven on cross-examination In - regard to his . claim against Wilde for $15,000 as a division of ; profits 1 on the ' tele phone deal with 'the Oregon Trust. Stow said' he did not want -this money If 'it Is proved that Wilde embezzled It from the bank. . If not embezzled, he -wants It and Intends to sue for it. He admitted he had made demand on Wilde for the money 'after Wilde had been indicted and after he had signed an affidavit to assist In the extradition of the defendant from California. The defenHe endeavored to enow by croBS examlnation that Stow is largely re sponsible for the criminal prosecution of Wilde, and that his efforts to have Wilde Indicted came to a head after Wilde refused to "dig up." Wilde's letters Submitted. The extensive collection of letters from Wilde was added to by the pro duction of his "not a cent for tribute" missive, written last May, In which ho Intimates that Stow tried to hold him up for $10,000. Stow flatly denied that he offered to quit for $10,000, and said that no such sum was mentioned be tween himself and Wilde, j In this letter Wilde refers sarcasti cally to Stow's alleged waste of money In the preliminary work of the construc tlon company at Denver and Omaha, enumerates a number of stockholders,, who, he says, are willing to contribute to show "who is who," and proceeds: . "Yes, I sold those bonds and roads my commission honestly and fairly, and what la more, am going to keep . same; I have no desire to divide or contribute fair gains against or with 111 gains. Your secret trip to San Diego with overtures for $10,000 and rank statement connected with it put me more wise to you, and I began Immediately an in vestigation of considerable thorough ness. "Nothing could overshadow your In genious and virtuous career in particu lar localities. Mr. Irwin, our vice pres ident, U. S. Grant, those banks I visited In San Diego and Los Angeles in the past few days, holders of the Denver Construction company and Omaha bonds are keen ror a showdown, since seeing your- recent' letter, -and you won't have any trouble whatever In getting In the limelight and an opportunity to unravel the mess, you and yours created' so ar tistically, and thus place the ' responsi bility of the rotten corporation right where it belongs. ..

Jurymen will also be permitted to receive visits from mem bers of their families at their hotel. "Liar" waa -passed for the first time during the session yesterday, when Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald hurled defiance at Malarkey. The lat ter had charged there was a "frame-up" and leclared that Special Prosecutor Clark is "running" the office of the district attorney. Fitzgerald said this was a lie, Judge Kavanaugh . calmed the attorneys and threatened them with a fine if they stage another scene of the same character. SENATE KILLS TAX:-: C0H Bill-.

(Special to Tb Journal.) -' Boise, Idaho, Jan. 27. Although the Idaho legislature did not conclude its work and adjourn tonight as had been planned, there remain but a few details in the way of supplementary legisla tion before the- adjournment early In th week. With the killing of the tax commission bill in the senate thlafter-i noon, the session Is practically at an end! - , '.. , . While a revenue bill has been passed and Is In the hands of Governor Haw ley, the legislature has not accom plished what was designed by the gov ernor When he Issued his call for the special session. Many of the features of the bills prepared by the special revenue commission have been incor porated in the measure which has been passed by- both the Tiouae and the sen ate, but that the administration is dis satisfied with the measure is shown by the fact that it was opposed to the last by Democrats in both the house and the senate. It is believed Governor Hawley will sign the bill, as It is his only chance to afford relief from the present taxation difficulties, but in do ing so he will undoubtedly express his disappointment that the measure does not follow the lines of his recommen dations. . . Th the last effort to secure passage of the bill providing for the creation of a state tax commission, Governor Hawley last night telegraphed to the governors of practically all states which have Buch commissions, asking for expres sions on' their value,1" Twelve answers were received and every one Indorsed the tax commission' idea. In spite of this. the senate defeated the measure after it had been passed by tha house. The revenue bill -as enacted' provides for-valuation at full cash value but taxa tion at only 40 per cent of such valuation.1- Other .provisions of the bill con tain the folowing: Payment of taxes, twice a year. The numerical system of listing- lands upon the tax rolls. ... Exemptions as before except that pri vate libraries .are exempt to the value of $400 only. ;;.'; vWf;vv.1.H,M f Homes are exempted to the value of $200. only where the total value of the home property does not exceed $1000. Personal notice ' required before tax deed can be issued. State taxes- are apportioned upon the current year's valuation Instead of the previous year's,-as at present.
