THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, J PORTLAND, SUNDAY- MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, .1921. MAHONEY DEFENSE OF ALLEGED VICTIM Possible Line of Defense in Se attle Murder Trial Suggested by Attorneys for Accused. Dental Chair 'JedgeY Throne w. t Dog Fight Disturbs Dignities Seattle. Sept 3i-(U. P.) Despite the testimony. o far In the case of the state vs. Jtmu K. Mahoney, charged with the murder of his aged wealthy wife, identi fying the body found in a trunk floating in Lake Union as that of Mrs. Kate E. Mahoney, the defense lawyers tonight hinted that a portion of their defense would be that the body was not that of the aged woman. Declaring that he did not believe the body was that of Mrs. Kate Mahoney, Attorney Lee Johnston today gave the first definite hint of this line of the defense. At the same time Mr. Johnston said he was not contemplating a de fense of rnsanity. WHAT TESTIMONY SHOWS The testimony thus far of state's wit nesses haa-shown: ThAt the hands and teeth of the woman's body were identified aa those of Mrs. Kate Maltbriey. That the man who caused the trunk to be delivered to the Lake Union "dark spot" on the night of April 18, and there directed It be placed in a rowboat was James K. Mahoney, the defendant. That the trunk, containing a woman's body was taken from the lake on August 8 was the one Mahoney had delivered to the lonely 8pot. DEFENSE IS POSITIVE Despite the positive identification of the teeth and bridge work taken from the mouth of the dead woman, made by Dr. Frank L. Wood, as work performed by him for Mrs. Mahoney, the defense attorneys contend with vigor that the state has not hown beyond reasonable doubt that the body found in the trunk was that of the alleged slain bride. The progress of the case thus far ha, perhaps, developed one of the strongest cases of circumstantial evidence ever accumulated in the state in a similar case. There has been much comment among court att'-ndanta in regard to the fact that the defense has made no effort to produce the woman or give any inkling as to her whereabouts. Nothing in the cae so far, in court, has been said in this regard. The cae was adjourned today until Monday with the state still questioning its own witnesses. Newport, Sept. 21. Justice of sthe Peace Berry of Newport Is having al most as much difficulty In upholding the dignity of his court as Justice of the Peace Minshal of Philomath is ex periencing in attempting to make a fine for contempt of court stick in a recent case in which he penalized Arthur Clarke, former district attorney of Ben ton county. Clarke, according to Judge MlnshaT, offended by use of the term "kangaroo" in reference to the Philo math court. Judge Berry's troubles arose In a case involving collection q, a 13 ac count between Newport residents. His court is held in his dental office, where he spends what time he has to spare .from the sea-going fishing launch Fre mont, of which he is captain. DISPUTE OS TERMS In the case, J. Hennessy Murphy, for merly of Portland, attorney for the plaintiff, held that a summons was not a process, while B. F. Jones, attorney for the defendant, waxed sarcastic arid said it was not an alligator or a wooden bedstead. Judge Berry (Doc Berry and Captain Berry at other times) swung his ope rating chair around and seated him self in it, announcing that court was in session. Jones seated himself on a box of medicated cotton and Murphy seated himself on the office stove, remarking at the same time "He' who sits upon a stove shall rise again." Hearing the argument patiently, Dr. Berry announced that he was a mariner VETERANS OF 91ST DIVISION RECALL and a dentist and not & Solomon, adding that the law had too many ulcerated cavities in it to understand on a mo ment's notice and that the lawyers had too much wind. Jones then suggested appealing to At torney General Daugoerty for a decision in such an Important . case, whereas Murphy Jumped to his feet and said that no good Democrat -would stand for that when Wilson; and Colby , were in the profesison. 1 WAXTS TOOTH FULLED Just then a big fisherman, with a swollen jaw entered and demanded that he be relieved of pain, saying : "Hey, doc ; excavate this damn tooth and cut out this kangaroo business." "If it weren't for injuring my chances of collecting a dental bill I'd fine you for contempt of court," remarked Judge Berry. Turning to the attorneys he an nounced that the court had adjourned temporarily. Just then Murphy's dog and Jones' dog got into a big fight outside the court and the lawyers decided to let them settle the case for them. ' Neither dog won, or both were whipped, just aa you please. Jones and Murphy each get $10 for their services and the justice gets his fee and the $13 case is still not cleared. Nobody is in jail. The jail, which hits not been used since Kdward Stocker used it as a butcher shop when his shop burned in 1908. has been condemned as unsafe by the state fire marshal. S E OVERSEAS Bend HigK School .

The announcement that the school board of Bend had noti fied George "Ad" Dewey to come here Monday for the purpose of looking after the Bend high school football squad has caused a storm of protest. The athlete of the school have notified the board that should Dewey be signed up to coach the squad, every player will turn in his football suit. It is the second conflict of the 1921 season between the school board and the football aggrega tion. Frank Rockwell' signed a contract to become the athleitc director for the school as well as an instructor of math ematics, but the boys felt that he was not capable of coaching them and they sent word to the board that another man would have to be secured. The high school boys afe desirous of securing the services of Charles V. Ersklne, last year's mentor, in fact, they insist that the popular local attorney be taken a the athletic director.

Hoffman, a Portland dentist, hopes to have a higher court pnss unn the findings of Justice of the Peace Hazen of St. Helens, who fined him $25 and costs on charges of over fast motoriiur along the famous Deer Island straightway, CMumbia county's peed trap. Ko numerous have been the complaints of Portland motorists against the "per-' stcutlons" of the Columbia county "speed cop" that Dr. Hoffman, when cited to appear before the justice of the peace, took along hl attorney and a stenogra pher.
