The opening statements of the at-1
Itornex-s were characterised by theiri
'brevity. District Attorney R. I. Kea-i
tor made the opening statement tor
the state, his statement following im
mediately after the Jury was secured
at 4:4 o'clock. He was followed by
Attorney Fred 8teiwer. . .
In his talk, the district attorney told
the Jury the location of the Jepson
cabin from Milton. Across the, road
from the Jepson place is the McCool
cabin, he said, and the houses are tn
plain view of each other, he said, Jep
son was seen on the afternoon of July
ii from the McCool place.. He wn?
never seen alive after that, and H was
August 13 when his body was taken
from the well near his house.
Tells of Alleged Threat.
Some little time was devoted by the
district atomey to the defendant.
Charles Vonderahe was arrested .May
it on a charge of mopnshlnlng, Kea
tor said. The information leading1 to
his arrest was furnished by M.Ut Jep
son, the speaker declared, but ,
Derahe at this time did not know this
He was quoted by the district attorney
as having said he would give' J5U9 to
know who turned him in im( that he
would kill the Informer if he knew hia
identity.
It was along about the latter part 3f
July that Von Derahe discovered who
informed the officers of his moonsh'n.
ing activities, Keator said. Von
Derahe was seen In the locality of the
Jepson place during the latter part ot
July, the district attorney said.
Steiwor Makes Statement. .
In opening for the defense, follow
ing ihe brief statement of the district
sttcrney, Fred 6telwer declared that
the task ot making an opening Uite
runt for the defense was difficult. He
chrrged the procutlon of wlthhn'.d
lng evidence in lis opening statement.
' He '.told of Von Derahe's activities.
In a'Tamlly of five brothers, ' Chiirit.
Von Derahe did less fnr-ning than
any of his brothers, Sleiwer told
jury. He once owned a grist mill.
pedled fruit, sold garden stuff, and
during the past two years Steiwer
said the defendant has madu the "se
rious mistake of trafficking in 11
luor." .
Matt Jepson's life is more or )ess
shrouded In mystery, Steiwer said. Of
Danish extraction, or at least of for
eign extraction, Jepson sailed the seas
and led a varied life. He was at one
time a bartender In Walla Walla, Then
for an unknown reason he purchased
a tract of land on Government moun
tain and led there the lite of a her
mit. ' .
' Was Von Derahe's Neluhlkir
Here Jepson was a neighbor f the
Von Derahcs, Steiwer said, and was
nursed In their homo when ho was 111
und often ate Sunday dinuore with the
fam'iy.
The moving by the defendant ot his
fiimlly to the present Lockwood place,
which Is the old Von Derahe ulnce, ir.
the spring of 1921 was detailed by thi
speaker, who also told of Von Der
ahe's arrest for moonshiiilng und the
fine that was' given him. - Other
changes In residence of the Von Der
ahe family were related by JjHeiwtr.
The family lived In a cnt on the
place of Von Derahe's fo'.hor-ln-law
and later at the .upper , Vj(m ' Deiaho
ranch. During the latter part of ihe
summer the defendant sold fruit, ac
cording to the speaker. . , ,
Denies Jcpsoii Infoiined.
"I do not know what p.-onf the state
has that Jepson Informed On Charley
Von Derahe. I do kny that Mr. Von
Derahe refuses to 'believe that. Jepson
told the officers about ids moonshln
ing operations." , ''
The defense also challenged the
statement of the prosecution that Von
Derahe returned to the mountain dur
ing the latter part of July, - There was
no reason for his coming bu-k, Stei
wer said, He had no business there,
and did not return, ' according to the
speaker. , .
Steiwer told the Jury that the state
had detectives on the ease gathering
evidence. He declared that he expects
the state to Introduce admissions front
Von Derahe which were secured when
the detectives and the defendant were
drinking together. . ,
"Our contention Is that there Is no
serious consideration to be glveirthese
alleged admissions by this defendant

The lltg Advantage
"Russia needs, more than anything
else, structural materials and textiles.
Germany' has these for sale. But un
til Russia Is able to pay In something
more substantial than paper rubles,
the problem of financing her trade will
require something more than a mere
treaty with Germany. ;
"The futility of mere trade contracts
with Russia, .until some general basis
for credit or stimulation of Russia's
ability to produce the wherewithal
with which to pay, would seem to be
Illustrated In the practical failure ot
Great Rrituln's, trade agreement, en

But Goldsmith believes' that if, ?B
years from now, Germany is able to
dominate Russian commerce, she' may
reap a rich reward from her presont
move. " 1 "
Xcver Good Comradee. '
Dr. Klein, on the other hand. Is con
vinced that Germany and Russia nev
er will be harmonious bedfellows,
"The Gcrmnn Is loud in his protes
tations that he, better than anyone
else, knows Russia," Klein says, "It
.Isn't. so. The average Russian has
much nearer the point of view of Am
erica than of Germany. Ho likes Am
ericans better than Germans. ' .
"And, on the other hand, America
understands better the needs of Rus
sia and can more clearly meet her "de
mands. We never will . let Germany
set as a feeder of American products
into Russia, "When American pro
ducts Into Russia. ; When ' American
products go Into Russia they are going
