State's Case Fractured : Witnesses
Testify Defenant Ailed Normally;
FjhI Is In Sight.
CHEHAI.I.S Wash., March 8.
Witnesses for Oscar Main. Napavlne
business man on trial here for the
murder of his closest friend, Fred
Swayne, merchant at Napavlne, Jan
uary 6, today spun a complete and
convincing alibi for Mr Main.
Not only were Mr, Main's activities
sketched continuously during the
half hour In . which the crime was
shown by the state to have been coin-
niltted, but the state's contentions as
to the motive for the crime were com
pletely knocked out and the actions
of Mr. Main before and after the
crime were shown to hare been with
out the least sign of nervousness, ex
citement or anything out. of the ordi
nary. Defendant's Character Lauded.
Character witnesses;, Including A.
H. Lundin, Seattle's prosecuting at
torney; Superior Judge Frater of King
county; H. M. Caldwell, corporation
counsel of Seattle; Dr. W. A. Major,
a Presbyterian minister, of Seattle
and others, all told of the excellent
reputation Mr. Main always had had.
The state, in presenting its case,
fixed by C. P. Lloyd the-time of the
crime, Mr Lloyd having passed
there at 5:30 o'clock without seeing a
light. He said he also saw Main in
his (Main's) office between S and
5:10 o'clock.
No Nervousness Noticeable.
W. P. Jones, a farmer living near
Napavlne. testified today that he went
to Mr. Main's office with Mr. Lloyd
at about 5:05 and found Mr. Main
there and left a box with him for safe
keeping. He said Main was not in
the least nervous. Main's office Is
about 800 feet from the Swayne store.
Walter Mason testified that he was
In in a pool hall next door to Main's
office and that Main came in there
a little after 6 o'clock and remained
several minutes, leaving Just before a
passenger train pulled into the Napa
vlne station near the office at 5:20
o'clock.
, Miller Ashton, who conducts the
pool hall, told of having entered the
hall through a back door as Main
was leaving through the front door a
few seconds before 5:20.

LA GRANDE. March 8. While the
citizenship of La Grande serenely
slept last night, picked sections of the
La Grande Home Guard battalion
stood faithful watch over the city's
water reservoir, and patrolled the
George - Palmer Lumber company
yards and mills. The guard was call
ed out upon the discovery of a clue
that might have meant a catastrophe
to the city and might have meant
nothing.
After due deliberation of the evi
dence in hand. Sheriff Wamick and
Major Coolldge decided to adopt pre
cautionary measures and said - the
word that brought out the needed 32
men and the officers of the battal
Ion. This order was given to the j
Company commanders. A., W, Nelson
and J. H. Feare, at 11:30 last even-j
ing, and by 1 o'clock the supply com- i
pany under Lieutenant Skill had Is-1
sued guns and ammunition and pro- j
vlded automobile transportation and j
the men were patrolling their beats.
The Hystem of calls previously draft-1
ed and adopted worked out nicely,
due in a large measure to the vigil
ance of the operators at the Home In
dependent' Telephone company and
the alacrity with which the men re
sponded. Three reliefs were posted on the
Palmer mill property and two at the
reservoir.
The nature of the susplcloned at
tack was largely incendiary and the
sheriff and officials of the Home
Guard immediately threw protection j
about the water supply that It be not
destroyed before the match was up- :
piled, if such action was contemplat- ;
ed as set out in a letter found on the 'l
street last evening. The epistle was
addressed to Seattle, saying the fir
ing was to commence last evening,
and it asked for further instructions.
It intimated therein that the writers
were camped in a nearby canyon, but
the Home Guard found no trace of
them. It was signed by the name
"Busch."
