They left Ashland on tho way
home after dark, tho witness had no
idea of tho time, nnd said It wns a
"hazy night, with tho moon shining."
Trouble was experienced with ' tho
trck lights, nnd that a short dis

with eyo holes, completely concealing
their Identity.
York testified they wore all order

Norrls told to drive down tho road,
nnd that ho was taken to ono side,
and asked "If ho had heard about
somebody stealing tho widow's
chickens," nnd if Johnson wns mixed
up In It. Ho also testified that while
feting led to one side, his captor
gouged him In tho ribs with a ulekle
filntrd revolver." The man asked him
if he was working, nnd he replied
that he had been employed by the
county, but had quit. He said llo was
iold this was "belter Hum nothing,
and was advised "to go back to
Work." Ho said he was also told "to
quit running uround with that nig

Ho testified that during the "hold

a Juror in tho Halo case, becuuse of
his friendship for Howurd A. Hill.
He said he would not bo influenced
by anything that he had read, heard
or discussed. The defense asked but
a few questions of Newhall.
Tho talesman said in rcsponso to
tho stnto questions that ho had heard

prejudices, and no opinions.
Fred K. Wahl was excused by tho
defense and Mrs. Mnttio A. Coleman,

two grown boys ut homo, who had
grown up in tho samo town with
Henry Johnson, tho state's chief wit

in reply to tho state's interrogation.
He had no prejudices on account of
color, and hud no fraternal connec
tions with tho defendants. Ho had
no objections to tho attorney gene
nil's office taking part In tho proso
cutlon. Tucker said ho knew of a
man who was "punlshid on clrcunv
stnnllnl evidence and ho didn't do

cause.
Mrs. Hill Not Prejudiced.
Mrs. Lorettn IJndley was excusod

drcth of llutto Falls drawn In his
plncc. who had opinions that would
Influenco him. . The . doConso chal
lenged him for cause. The court ex
cused Hlldreth, and N. Houston of
Trail was drawn. Ho had read and
discussed tho affair and thought a
crlmo had been '.committed. He
thought It would take considerable
testimony to disabuso Ills mind of
tho opinion. Tho court questioned
Houston on his qualifications and
then excused him. V. H. F.borhnrdt

uuder queries of the defense said she
would not. lio Influenced by news
pat, er articles sho had read. Mrs

length, on every posslblo Issuo bear
ing on the case.
Oood progress was mado tho first
day of the trial, a Jury being select
ed. Its personnel includes five
women, three of whom served in the
Halo case last week. Among thos
called to the Jury box Was Mrs. Corn
B. Hill, mother of Howard A. Hill

In an allied caae to tho one now on
trial. Hill Is a defendant with Pert
I Mows, In the Arthur lluiT, color
ed, kidnaping and "hanging." ached
uled to bo Hied at thu conclusion of
the present case. The mother was
excused by tho state, after answering
a long list of questions.
The motion, of the defense, filed at
tho concluslou of tho opening urgu
meats, asking for tho right to Inspect
tho grand Jury records wus opposed
by the state, and tho court ruled.
nfer listening to both sides, that tin-
defense could have the right to In
spect the records In this case, alone
and In no other case pending, how
ever. Tho court did not sign Un
order.
Court ltulm Against Slate. -In
handing down the ruling, tin
court said he agreed with both sides.
und assured the state "no precedent
would be established." which wns the
main grounds upon which tho grunt,
ing of the order was opposed.
Tho court said that "owing to the
peculiar situation, und thn suspicion
In the atmosphere. I fed everything
should come out in order that the
public may know all about It." The
court said In ordinary cases he would
not grant Ihe order, and held the
matter entirely discretionary with
the bench.
Tho defense filed two similar mo
tinns In the nluhtridlng cases lust fall
and they were both denied by Judge
Calkins, at the time.
In opposing Iho motion the tttute's
attorney held it was against public
policy, established ii bad pri'edent.
wan not provided for In the statutes
of I ho state, and the records were
secret matters to which the defense
was not entitled.
The defense contended through
Attorney Vlnilow ami llo;i;i. thai
withholding of tho roeords prevented
tho defense from chocking up on the
testimony of the witness, that the de
fense was entitled to the same rights
as Ihe Hate, that public Justice de
mands, und they have ihe right to
see the grand Jury records and that
the granting uf permission to inspect

Another Witness 111.
Tho bane of sickness that has fol
lowed witnesses In the' trials, camo to
the front again Tuesday, when It was
reported that W. A. IJIshop of Jack
sonville, und un Important witness
for the state, and who loaned the de
fendants, Ooodlo and Norris, the uuto
truck, with which they mado tho trip,
wus 111 In tho Community hospital.
J. F. Halo, tho star witness in the
first trial, was stricken with Illness
on the evo of tho taking of testi
mony last week and testified from a
couch in tho court. Tho seriousnoss
of Pishop's Illness was not learned.
Mute's Caso Outlined.
The stato In Its opening argumento
to the Jury said ifc expected to show
that Norris and Ooodie, "aided and
assisted, and co-operated with tho
marked men," and "that the hold up
was a frame-up." Tho opening argu
ment was made by Assistant Attorney
Ocnornl I.lljeqvlst, who arrived yes
terday afternoon by auto, from Port
land and K.'ilem, who ulso said tho
evidence waa "largely clrcuinstan
tlnl."
The slate will attempt to show by
witnesses', said Liljeqvlst," that on
Wednesday or Thursday, before the
hold-up, the ' defendants, Norrls und
Ooodlo drovo to Aslllund. with John
son and York for tho purposes of get
ting a pump and a gusoline tank, and
that on this trip they only secured
tho pump. On tho way back, they
stopped in Medford, Ooodie and Nor
rls attending lodge in Medford. and
the boys waiting for them on the
promise of securing a ride to Jack
sonville. After waiting till midnight,
or after Johnson and York walked to
the county seat.
Continuing the narrative tho stato
contended It would show that on the
following Sunday, April 9, 1922, York
was culled from a baseball game, and
Johnson found strolling up a canyon,
and both were driven to Ashland by
the defendants to get the gasoline
tnnk, which they had fulled to se
cure on the first trip. The slate will
also show, counsel said, that Mrs.
Yot;k had been apprised of the trip
her son was taking, to the extent of
calling at her home for that purpose.
Tho stato said It expected to show
that on the return trip which was
quite late, that light troublo de
veloped, that repairs wore made, and
that tho traffic laws were violated.
That when between Medford and
Talent on the Pacific highway, a
touring car passed them that later
turned around and followed them.
Tho state claims thnt . -when near
Vooiiicls Crossing, tho defendants
turned Into tho rond on tho pretext
of evading the speed cop, nnd to take
a short cut home, the touring car
still following them, it Is tho state's
theory that tho truck was driven fast
by Ooodie. for the purpose of burning
out tho lights.
Tho stato holds that when a short
distance beyond tho rnllroud crossing
the men in tho touring car "masked"
and wearing dark colored capea hull
ed tho truck nud ordered all to hold
up their hands, whllo ostensibly
searching tho truck for moonshine.
Tho stnto said It would show by the
testimony of young York that Norrls
and Ooodlc, when ho saw them, had
their arms by their sides, und that
when It wns noticed, theywero or
dered to hold up their hands, which
they did, but titer, when lie caught
a glance nt them they had their
hands down. Utter, tho state evi
dence will show. It wns said, Norris
aud Ooodlo wero ordered to proceed
up tho road, which they did, to later
reunr through curiosity," Ihe
state's attorney naid.
Tho state rnnteuds that Johnson
had a ropo placed around Ills neek.
that his llfo waa threatened, nnd that
firearms were pointed nt him. nnd
fired off In his presence. After these
events, the stnte claims, Norrls and
Ooodie, accompanied by York, re
turned homo, after fixing the truck,
and thnt no report wns mado to the
sheriff of any "hold up."
Johnson, according to tho opening
statement, was charged with "steal
ing chickens," nnd other accusations,
all of which he denied.
Attorney Wlnslow for the defense,
snld that on the preliminary showing
of the slate, ho did not believe "this
caso will bo given to tho Jury," and
further characterized It as a. "weak
cuse." He said the defense expected
to show Hint tho defendants "had
been the victims of a hold up and
wero then Indicted for being held up."
that state's witnesses had told stories
on the street at variance with their
statements to the grand Jury, nnd
would show the entire proceedings
were "strictly business."
The defense statement occupied
about ten minutes, and the states'
presentation n bout half an hour.
Only by Inference wns the Ku Klux
Klan mentioned, nud then through
the veiled query.. "Are you a mem
