EXPECTED TO GO Courtroom Crowded as Accused Woman Tells of Search For Will and Alleged Plot to Defraud Her of Her Inheritance. With the courtroom jammed clear to the hallways, attorneys for the state and defense are this afternoon submitting their arguments conclud ing the third trial of Mabel Young Warner on a charge of forgery. Both sides concluded their testimony and rebuttal by noon today after the state had failed to continue the case until Monday morning In order to bring up witnesses from Portland to establish the reputation of W. W. Williams, handwriting expert. At 1:30 this afternoon, R. J. Slater, special deputy prosecutor, opened the argument for the state and occupied the attention of the Jury for a half hour as he reviewed briefly the salient points In the testimony by which the state hopes to -prove that Mrs. WTar ner not only knowingly . ' uttered a fraudulent will but had carefully laid a plan by which "to perpetrate a gi gantic fraud." Mr. Slater was followed by Joe Skra ble for the defense who began his plea with an eloquent appeal and he Uvlll be followed In turn by R. R. Johnson for the defense and Sam E. Van Vactor for the prosecution. It is expected that the case will be turn ed over to the Jury late this after noon but there are not many that be lieve a verdict will be returned before Monday morning. Defense Concludes Testimony. The defense concluded Its original testimony at 9:30 this morning after introducing witnesses to impeach W. V. Williams, the Portland handwrit ing expert. Mrs. Warner, however, played her trump cards yesterday af ternoon by her own dramatic recital of her life history and by the Intro duction of E. B. Thompson, a hand writing expert of Spokane. In her testimony she denied much of the evidence submitted against her and the denial was couched In most vigorous terms. Thompson declared that Y'oung was one man In a million In his ability to write his own signa ture exactly alike time after time. This testimony was Intended to offset the testimony of the state's experts to the effect that It was an Impossibility to produce three signatures identically alike without tracing. Thompson also gave his opinion that the fourth will Is in the genuine handwriting of J. W. Y'oung but he would not make the definite announ cement that such was a fact, declar ing that there has been so much for gery in connection with the case that he was loth to make a positive state ment. However, ho did brand "wills No. 2 and No. 3" as forgeries but, by comparing them with letters written by Mrs. Warner, declared that tho defendant had not written them. Attacks Williams' Reputation. H. H. Collier, formerly an attorney of this city but now living in St. Johns, Warren Merchant of the same tewn and John W. King of Yamhill, were all placed on the stand and testi fied that the reputation of W. W. Wil liams for truth and veracity is bad. On cross examination tho state brought out that Collier's brother once acted as attorney against Williams. With this testimony tho defense concluded Us original testimony and the stato began its rebutal by intro ducing evidence to establish the repu tation of Attorney John Lawrey. R. Alexander, George Perlnger, C. E. Roosevelt, J. W. Maloney, Lot Liver- ATHENA SOJOURNER STILL LIKES U. S. The following letter Just received by Will M. Peterson from his friend A. B.

Rogers also testified that in company with Dr. Watts, B. B. Hall and Fred Young he had gone through J. W. Young's papers twice soon after the latter's death and had found no trace of a will favoring Mrs. Warner. Mrs. W. H. Stamper, or Weston cast a doubt on the story told by Fred Young, Sherman Warner and Mrs. Warner to the effect that the latter two had stopped at the Weston cemetery on the day on which the will was found in the Weston bank. She declared she was In the cemetery on that day for three hours and saw the two drive past twice without stop ping and that it would have been im possible for them to have decorated the Young grave without her seeing them. -. As To Younir's Affection. Dora Bevis, sister of Mary Eastman, was called. She testified she and her sister had been like daughters to J. V. Young and that she had heard him remark once that he had "been mixed up with that outfit long enough and didn't want any more to do with them,"" meaning Mabel and her mother. Mrs. Chance Rogers, a niece of J. W.
