Huntington divided liquor taken on raids with Jim Marshall, who acted as a stool pigeon in their prohibition enforcement work, and Russell admitted that fact to him, according to the testimony of As sistant United Spates Attorney A. F. Flagel Jr., at the morning hearing on the removal of the policemen be fore Mayor Baker today. "Marshall told me and others that he had an arrangement with these officers whereby he was permitted to take part of the liquor obtained on raids and sell it as compensation for his services. I did not believe him, neither did the other officers believe him, at the time, but liter Russell admitted to me that the statement of Marshall was true," Flagel testified.. PBACTICE IS SCORED "I told Russell that such practice was not legitimate, could not be tolerated by federal officials and should not be tol erated by city officers. - He replied that he had taken the matter up with his sergeant .and that official had agreed the end warranted the means." Flagel stated that while the actions of Russell and Huntington could not be Jus tified from any standpoint, he neverthe less considered those two men as ef ficient, trustworthy and reliable as any member of Portland's police department. "They have done wrong, but I believe they have learned their lesson and will not permit their zeal in the enforcement of the law to tempt them to do such a thing again," he said, "and they are very valuable to both city, and federal courts in the prosecution of federal prohibition law violators." PROTECTION IS DENIED While Russell admitted dividing the liquor 'with. Marshall, who wanted it to sell. Flagel insisted that both Russell and Huntington denied Marshall, any protection "in the event he was caught selling the liquor." The morning session was conducted primarily by the attorney representing the deposed policemen, in proving the excellent general conduct of Huntington and Russell. Jesse E. Flanders,, federal prohibition enforcement officer for Ore gon ; Special Agent W. R. Bryon of the United States department of justice, Act ing Lieutenant of Police H. A. Thatcher, Sergeant W. C. Epps, J. H. Kilt, in spector for the United States shipping board, and other federal and city offi cers were unanimous in declaring both men efficient and expressed the highest regard for their integrity. The mayor questioned each witness closely with regard to the practice of police In "dividing the spoils with stool pigeons" to enlist their aid, each in turn emphatically stating that nothing justi fied such practices. .

Weston, wife of the defendant in the sensational Krug murder case on trial in circuit court here, entered court for1 the first timethis morn ing. She has been suffering from a nervous breakdown since the trial started. Pale .and apparently still far from well, she walked directly to her husband, kissed him, then quietly took her place by his side. Joe Wilson, recalled to the stand this afternoon, was the chief witness for the: state. He told of having taken from Weston's vest, shortly after Krugs death, a note made payable to Robert Krug by W. S. Fullerton. Elijah Sparks and William Wilson, both of the Sisters country, related a conversation which they said Weston had with them a week before the mur der, in which he threatened Krug and declared his Intention to geep his al leged victim from interfering with his own moonshining operations. The wit nesses agreed that Weston carried a re volver after making his statements to them. v Joe Wilson was the seconfmost im portant witness so far to appear for the state. He took the stand for the first time Thursday afternoon. Wilson testified that Weston, on the evening of March 25, 1919, the day after the alleged murder, had told him of tor turing Krug, and failing to induce his victim to give up his money, had killed him and burned his cabin, watching the fire until the walls crumbled. Weston had later cautioned him against repeat ing the story, threatening him with death if he did so. The defendant, Wilson, and George Stillwell,- who testified Thursday morn ing, had been making whiskey at the Wilson sawmill near Sisters. Krug had caught them in their illegal operations, and Weston considered it necessary to dispose of the man for this reason, Wil son said. Searching cross examination changed the testimony of the witness in none of iQ essentials. , Recalled to the stand Thursday after noon, Stillwell stated that a short time after the fire, Weston had shown him a note for $300 signed by W. S. Fullerton, and had declared that it would never be a part of the Krug estate. Fullerton told of giving the note to Krug, and said tiat he had paid interest on it on March 22. 1919. Since that time, he testiffed. the note had not been pre sented to -him for payment, either of principal or interest. . Linvllle Still Unconscious V. N.

Asked for 10 Days, But Judge, Peeved, Gave .Him Month Georee Dixon has turned over a new leaf. This morning, by way of variety, he appeared in the municipal court on a vagrancy charge instead of the usual complaint of "drunk." "I see you are with us again, George," began Judge Rossman by way of saluta tion. "Yes, your honor," the prisoner ad mitted with quaint good humor. "What do you think I ought to do with you this time?" "About 10 days, I suppose," came the indifferent reply. "Think that will be sufficient? What about 20 days?" "Just as you like, your honor. It's all the same to me." But the court was thoroughly exas perated by the utter indifference of the old offender. George is with the city for the next 30 days. Former Jurist Dies Seattle, Nov. 19.
