MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 18, 193S PAGE THREE OPPOSING ADAMS (Continued from fage One.) corner as referee on admissibility of testimony, Kenneth Denman as at torney for W. S. Wnltlng, Portland accountant, said to be largely respon sible for the charges, and Mr. New bury as counsel for Mr. Adams. The question was raised as to why counsel for Mr. Whiting should ap pear In the role of prosecutor Instead of the city attorney, but Mr. Van Dyke explained that the city council could not sit In judgment and act as prosecutor too. Testimony Given That major point settled, the tak ing of testimony began, with Mr. Wenner and Mr. Applewhite telling of alleged Irregularities In the recorder's office. Testimony was Introduced to show that Mr. Adams had not kept the bond-Hen docket in proper condition, that he had failed to certify the doc ket to the county assessor In time and that he had handled the petty, cash account Irregularly. It was stated that Mr. Adams had taken $25 in cash from the petty ac count, substituting therefor a per sonal pre-dated check which he sub sequently replaced with the cash. It awas also testified that he had ad vanced a city employe $10 without making a payroll reduction. There was a squabble about the right of Mr. Adams' counsel to cross examine, but Mr. Van Dyke ruled that it was his constitutional guarantee. So Mr. Newbury cross-examined and at times the air was blue with Intim ations of lies and falsehoods. Wenner L'nder Fire Mr. Wenner particularly came in for a withering cross-examination during which it was hinted that he was the cause of Mr. Adams' discom fiture. It was brought out that Mr. Adams had objected when Mr. Wen ner participated In a city contract whereby he was paid for his assist ance in an audit. Another enthusiastic crowd was ex pected tonight when the prosecution continues its case. When the hearing is completed there are three steps open to the council: (1) remove Mr. Adams by ordinance; (2) let the voters decide by a referendum; (3) forget about the matter altogether and let Mr. Adams continue In hts elective offlce. The bets today were that the people would be asked to decide. CLARA B. HUNT, 36 Clara Blanche Hunt passed away at Salem, Ore., Dec. 17, aged 36 years.

N. Y. 4 PENITENTIARY TERM FOR MRS. EKWALL IN OF Mrs. Jessie Ekwall, middle-aged woman under a six months' sus pended sentence for burglary com mitted In Ashland last spring, was this morning sentenced by Circuit Judge H. D. Norton to serve an indeterminate sentence of not less than two years In state prison. Mrs, Ekwall was arrested by city police Saturday night on an Intoxi cation charge. County authorities figure that the care she will receive, with the calm of the stat Insti tution, may restore her mental peace and aid her In breaking the chains of the liquor habit, cause of most of her troubles along with domestic woes. Since her release last summer, on the suspended sentence, aid has been given the unfortunate woman in procuring work, but Chief of Po lice .McCredle told the court, he has several times fallen from grace. Upon her return to the county Jail yesterday Mrs. Ekwall threaten ed suicide, necessitating a thorough search of her cell and person, and giving the matron a hectlff night to prevent carrying out of the threat. Cleverly concealed In the clothing of Mrs. Ekwall, the matron found a short bladed paring knife. The knife had been taken from a shell In the jail kitchen. It Is thought she secured the knife when the mat ron was moment ivly at the tele phone. Last summer, Mrs. Ekwall at tempted suicide by slashing her wrist with a pair of scissors.
