Somo credence wns given last evening by. District Attorney George Codding to tho theory that J. Adam, whoso true name is believed to In Junius K. Kiugsley. was a "hired killer" sent l.y a rum ring to jnu thorn Oregon to slay Sam 'Preseott, traffic officer mur dered ly Adams yesterday morn ing in lAMhlnnd. There are no known facts to bolster up the theory outside of the murderer's wanton desire to make sure the nffli-er was dead and a report that Adams had stopped at a service station a .short distance north of Ashland to in quire if present t wan vtill on duty Jn Ashland. .Piweott had been active in stopping lifluor ears in this section. j The .posf ihility has been express ed that Adams may have been given a description of the officer or knew his man when Preseott came up to usk for his ownership papers. The theory will be thor oughly investigated. Adnmn is held in solitary con finement in a "Pauley" cell in the county jail and has done no talk ins, outside of remarks he made yesterday forenoon to District At torney Odditis and at Ashland. In the latter place he wild: "Some time you will find out why I killed him." but refused to explain the statement. When questioned by the district attorney, he expressed no remorse and was apparently resigned to his fate, which he expects will .he the sallows. M. No Regrets He Haul he did not feel sorry for himself and Indicated he was not sorry for his luckier victim. Adams declared his actions and the entire affair wan governed by fate. It was too late to make amends and whatever his feelings may be, the dead would remain dead, it was judged from his atti tude was the theory. "What do you do for a living?" he was asked at the county jail. "Now what would a fellow do with a couple of suns.' he replied and went on to say that he hail been in trouble before. Tie said he had held up business places but refused to go into detail, ex plalnins he would never be tried on those charses. Koiienites Youth Adams said he had never seen Earl Remington, 14) -year old Wen atchee. Wash., youth, with him during the shooting, until Friday evening when he picked him up to give him a ride a short distance south of Kugeno. Ills story dove tailed fairly well with the version giwn by Kemington. indirectly re sponsible for Adams' early appre hension. Adams said he had left Portland at (1:00 o'clock Kridul evening and drove by himself un til he picked up the youth. . "Served Time" Me said he had served time in a reformatory and had escaped from the Colorado stt peniten tiary at Canon City. He claimed that he still had time to serve there. He told the officer he was born in New York state. Ills par ents have been dead for some time and he has one brother ami one sister, but said he did not know where they lived. Adams stated further he knew Prescott was an officer before he shot him, hut wanted only to wound him with the first shot and then drive on. Adams claimed that when he saw the officer reiieh for his side arm, he fired again and then look u parting shot that took effect in the Tierk. "I didn't want to go to the police station", was the only explanation he gave. Adams gave his statements oral ly and was not a reluctant talker. However, he refused to ign his name to a written statement. He did not call for the advice of a lawyer and tilkd with some air of ennfid. nee, without Ind tea tine defiance. He readllv admitted stealing the rir, a De Soto sedan. In Salt Lake! City three months ago. The car was r-painted during '.hat time, changing its color from green t' blue.

Wheeler In Debate On Beer Bill Vote Says Mr. Hoover 'Moist To Say The Least' Two Secre taries and Press Quoted. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 0P) Amid debate on whether President Hoover favored modification of tho dry laws to mako them lesa op more stringent, the senate today approached the first vote it has had on four per cent beer since national prohibition became ef fective. Senator 'Wheeler. Democrat, Montana, said friends of the presi dent had "passed out the word secretly that the president is moist on the prohibition issue." He bas ed his statement on newspaper stories ho read to the senate. Whilo administration leaders kept out of the discussion. Senator Itroukhart, Republican, Iowa, said he interpreted the stories purport ing to show the president has an open mind on prohibition to mean that he is for revision to make the dry law more enforceable. Senator Bingham, Republican, Connecticut, offered the bill to legalize four per cent beer. He asked for a record vote and ap peared to be in position to get the first test of this kind In the senate since national prohibition became effective. Bingham said he did not believe President Hoover fav ored his proposal.. Bingham's bill was offered as a mibstitute for the pending Howell hill establishing a drastic enforce ment net for the District of Col umbia. The Howell bill, under at tack from the outset by both drya and wets, opened the flood gates of prohibition oratory. It waa still pending tonight and offered an opening for much future discussion on prohibition. The Bingham beer measure was sidetracked for ' disposition of an umehdment by Senator Blaine, Re publican, Wisconsinto strike from the Howell bill provisions allowing search and seizures In homes upon evidence that stills are operating in them or that liquor Is delivered to them or removed from them. It was this provision which was condemned by drys as well as wets. Senator Howell, Republican, Ne braska, author of the bill, said It. was necessary to keep Washington from continuing as "the sanctuary of bootleggers." He conceded that Attorney General .Mitchell had op posed tho provision. ... Senator Wheeler read news paper stories published recently purporting to show that Walter Newton, executive secretary to the president, and Secretary Hurley had Bald Mr. Hoover's message to congress on the law enforcement commission report was being mis interpreted and that Mr. Hoover had an open mind on revision. "They are secretly giving the Im pression,'' said Wheeler, "that the president Is moist to say the least." "These newspapers," argue Sen ator Brook hart, "can frame up most any kind of story. All . I make out of them Is that the presi dent favors revision to make pro hibition more effective. I am with him." "Yes,'' continued Wheeler, "I understand the senator from Iowa wants to think the president as dry us he Is. Ho surely will be as much disappointed in the presi dent's dryness as he was In tho president's progress! venesH two years ago. - When Senator Bingham offered his beer proposal, Senator Wheeler asked him if President Hoover fa vored It. ' "I Judge not from his message." replied Bingham, "but I have not talked to him.' ' Later Senator Copeland, Demo crat, New York, asserted he under stood that Mr. Hoover as good ad ministrator during the war "went farther nnd made a very strong argument that beer was not Intoi lcatlng.'1 t SEATTLE.
