Mrs. Cynthia Gibbs and Mrs.
E. P. Counts Are Witnesses
for State at Huntley Murder
Trial Prayer Meeting Held
On Eve of Crime.
Ilyman Huntley, OS, a Ruction crow
worker, on trlnl In the circuit court
charged with tirst-rfuKruu murder,
heard hln uiotliei-ln-luw. Mrs. K. I'.
Counts, age tit), ami Cynthia (lihhn,
widow of Jesse James (Hubs, UK, the
man be In accused of ahiylim in u
knlfo battle )nnt September lit their
home on Ashland avenue, thlH city,
testify nicalnHt him Tuesday ulternonii.
There were truces of bitterness lu the
evidence offered by the elderly
woman; the widow told her xtury In
a frank and honest manner. The div
fendant manifested no particular in
tereat.
' Both women corroborated the oilier
and the salient points of the evidence
of each varied but sIlKlilly. Mrs.
Counts testified that the morniiiR
after the fatal affray she round
"where liattie had knelt In the shed,"
und Baw the Imprints "made liy her
knees and the toes of hnr shoes."
Mrs. GibbH testified that she had
"seen the same trackH" and "the cloth
prima made by the knees." The de
fense contends that Mrs. Huntley went
to the shed for a clandestine meeting
with Gibbs, and the state that she
went there "to pray "lor restoration
of the borne life" that hud been lust.
The' defense also contends that the
pace where Mrs. Huntley is claimed
to have knelt was worn hard by the
tramp of feet and Is a dirt path from
the door to the mattress where (iibhs
slept.
The two women differed on one
point in their testimony. The mother-in-law
testified that she has arranged
the prayer meeting, held before the
tragedy, by a Mr. Dewey for the pur
pose of "converting Ilyman Huntley,"
and because Mrs. Gibbs was unuble to
go to meetings.
The widow tostlfied the meeting was
for the purpose of affecting a recon
ciliation between the Huntleys.
Both the womon testified to domes
tic storms In the Huntley family and
that Mr. Dewey had advised the
Huntley's "to let bygones he bywonos"
and "turn over a new leaf." Kffortn
of the defense to brim? out causes jnf
the fn'nlly trouble were blocked by
state objections. It was also testified
that Dewey, before he went home, ad
vised Mrs. ' Hnttie Huntley "to pray
alone" for peuce.
Mrs. Counts tostlfied Hint after the
"reseller had departed. Huntley came
to the door of the house nnd wild
"Hurry tin, and we can catch them."
Mrs. Olbbs went ' Immediately and
Mrs. Counts remained behind to nut
on her nightgown and slippers. When
they drew near the shed where (illihn
' sleeping both the women testi
fied they said, "Hyman, you're wrong!
He's snoring!"
While the three wore outside, the
door of the shed opened, tlm testi
mony showed, and Mrs. Huntley
stepped out. Huntlev nrcueed her and
hot wordB followed. Mrs. Huntley
maintaining, "Hyiunii. I was In there

women as the one JlunHev picked up
with a threat aiainst Olbbs.
Huntley and his wire went towards

Mrs. Counts lingered and told Cllbhs
to go to her room. In the meantime
the defendant and Ills wife were

The Huntley's continued the argu
ment In the yard and, according to
Mrs. Counts' testimony, the wile cried
.J'Heln! Help!" and Olbbs. who was In
the house, rushed out and the men

"I thought It waB Just n fist fight."
testified Mrs, Counts, explaining whv
she bud not tried to stop It. I lot li
women denied the defense claim that
Mrs. Huntley had cried "Help! Jess!
Help! You never did forsake me
when I needed vou, and you won't
forsake ma now!"
The women 'then told of the last
moments of Olbbs und the coming of
the authorities.
.1. R. Kum. who testified he had
known Huntley since ISSil. said that
few days before the stabbing Hunt
ley had asked him: "Whnt would thev
do If I killed that man?" nnd be had
replied, "They would limn you. Kor
Ood sakes get It out of your mind."
Kuni testified that he did not talk to
Huntley as ho was rushing to the bed
side of his sick wlfo. Kf forts of the
defense to show that the witness had
been a confidant of Huntley for years
was denied upon the objections of the
state.
lu the rross-cxamlnntlou of Mrs.
Counts the defense endeavored to im
peach her testimony by showing It
was different In vital details from
whnt she had given lit the coroner s
Inquest. Several lively exchanges
flared lin between counsel anil the
court admonished both "to make
their objections without arguments"

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Mr. James II. Allen, of 26 ForbeR
St.. Rochester, N. Y., suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left htm helpless
and tillable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until tho accu
mulated Impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved In
the Joints and muscles nnd expelled
from the body.
With this idea In mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments und
finally compounded a prescription
that quickly nnd completely hunched
every sIku and symptom of rheuma
tism from his system.
Me freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allcurhu, to others who
took It, whh what mlttht be called
marvellous Success, After year of
urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know ubout his discovery
through the newspapers. He has

Its approximate cost, complete. Is
$ti3,000. Fifteen hundred cubic yards

Had Fawcett served In the Mritlsh
army, it is safe to say that within
a week he woutd have been decorat
ed with lbitaln's greutest war medal,
the Victoria Cross. Months after
ward, down In Germany, he received
a carlton copy of u citation written
on paper that was but little better
than wrapping paper that a butcher
uses for meat.
Fawcett is of the quiet nnd retir
ing type. o was well past forty

there ore not In Jackson county, or
the stale of Oregon, outside of his
comrades in the service, a dozen
people who ever heard of bis war
