Hold- to Story
Sexton gave a repetition of the tes
timony he gave at the La Dieu trial.
He admitted breaking the vault win
dow, and helping his brother Wilbur
and Cummlngs throw the pouches ln
Ro&uo river from Bybee bridge.
Under cross examination of Attor
ney Glenn R. Jocks of Oregon City.
Sexton clung to his story. He said
he had started work when 15 years
old In Coos county logging camps,
and was the father of a little girl,
and was separated from his wife.
The state sprang a mild sensation
when at the mid-afternoon recess it
requested the exclusion from the
courtroom of O. H. Brown, secretary
of the "Oood Government Congress,"
and his wife.
"I have reason to believe they will
be called as defense witnesses" said
Attorney Moody.
The defense will not .sail them,"
replied Attorney Enrlght.
"Then the state will call them as
witnesses, and now asks that they
be excluded as spectators.
Brown Told to Leave
The court then directed that the
Browns leave, which they did, after
a passing comment by Brown, "this
Is all we know about it."
Henrietta B. Martin, president of
the "Oood Government Congress" has
not been in court for two days.

timony was contradictory to Van We
gan a. concerning the n imber of au
tos parked In the rear of the court
house, Van Wegan said there were
none, and Mrs. Brown that there were
several.
Attorney Moody, said In his open
ing statement, that the state would
show that Brown and his wife, and
daughter, Mrs, Martin, and Van We
gan, remained In the courthouse au
ditorium and "unseemly length of
time, after the meeting closed" and
that they left by the back door, go

cation with Henrietta B. Martin, for
a considerable time, and that Jones
got ln communication with Fehl, af
ter that ballot stealing, saying:
"Everything is Okay now." and that
Fehl replied: "You keep mum.
The defense filed numerous objec
tions to sexton's testimony,
Attorney Jacks said that Jones de
fense would be an alibi, that
would account for his every moment
during the day and evening, that he
was doing guard duty ln the court
house, on the night of the robbery
ai me suggestion of Henrietta B
Martin, who was chairman of the
meeting, "to see what was going on,
and that his family would testify
that when he came to his Rogue Riv
er home, he had no callers, and that
the first he knew of the ballot rob
bery, was when he heard It over the
radio the foltowiru morning.
Attorney Jacks said that Jonc ate
