Montosano, Wash., May 7. Paddy
McHugh, former saloonman ofAber
tieen, employed by tho Royal Arch to
run to earth tho man responsible for
tho "floater fleet," and for years an
intimate friend of William Gobi, on
trial for the murder of Charles Had
berg, testified that Gohl premedi
tated tho murder of Charles Had-
berg.
Tho defense attempted to rebut
his statements by trying to malco Mc
Hugh admit that he demanded $7000
not to appear as a witness against
:Gohl. This McHugh denied emphat-
Icalty.
McHugh testified that on the night
of December 20, ho met Gohl and
said:
"I understand Billy Montana is
going to Indian crec'k to do a job on
John Hoffman and. Charles Had
berg." "Ho will have to hurry1; as we are
going dbwn to do that work our
selves," McHugh alleged Gohl said
O reply.
Qonl went ,nto deta,1s
u. " ho was going to kill the
two k was "sore on thorn,"
McHufe. that Gohl met him
on Decembei , and said: "Well,
Paddy, we landed those follows last
night. Hoffman, was pretty tough.
We planted thom in the mud with'
anchors for pillows. I guess they
won't toll any more tales; I got wet
to tho waist when we threw Hadberg
overboard; the watef splashed, all
over me."
Tho defense attorneys asked the
witness if ho did not sayaslo: "Un
less he would kill Gohl, the defend- i
ant would kill him."
McHugh replied that ho did make
such a statement.
George Mortell, former deputy fish
warden, testified that he saw Gohl
on the night of December 21, and
Gohl told him he was going down the
bay. Mortell remembered the date,.;
because that same night he arrested"
two men for illegal fishing in tho
lower harbor.
Oswald Boll testified that on the
night of December 21, he heard four
shots near Michigan mill from a gas
oline layncli. He heard a man cry
out, "for God's sake, Billy, don't kill
me."
Bell, who Is a ropalrer of gasoline
engines and automobiles, said he rec
ognized the cxhausE as that of the
launch Patrol, which Gohl owned.
John Nlkklovitch, night watchman
at Lunstroni shipyards, also stated
that ho heard shots on the water
that night, as did Ed. Nelson, whose
launch was broken down near the
scene of the shooting.
J. H. Hiltz heard shots and a man
cry out.- "He"telephoned the pollco
station to send an officer down, as a
man had been shot.

The king was in a stato of coma
for one hour' before death, but just
before the end ie rallied. "I know
this is tho end ;tell the queen.',
Tho first announcement of tho
king's death was made by Lord
Knollys, but tho funeral announce
ment was made by tho now King,
George V., in a message to the lord
mayor.
Death was caused by constant
coughing from bronchitis, which af
fected the heart. Tho left ventricle
failed to act even under oxygen.
When Edward returned from Bi
arritz April 27, a minor form of ill
ness wcjs apparent, and on May 2
ho caught a sovero cold. May 4
bronchitis developed, and May 6 tho
physicians Issued the first bulletin
which indicated the critical condition'
of tho king. His last illness revealed
tho king's real strength of character,
which had characterized him through
life. He discussed his approaching
death calmly, and several times he
sat up to gave important Instructions
on stato affairs.
He suffered greatly fromj cough
ing, but bore the pain bravely.
It Is reported today that the phy
sicians were hopeful until 10 o'clock
last night. But at that hour the
change for. the worse came, and an
hour and forty-five minutes later the
king passed away. ' , ;

London, May 7. When King
George took tho op.th of fealty this
afternoon at 4 o'clock, tho system
of monarchal government In Great
Britain wont pn trial for Its life.
Statesmen see In tho national
gloom tho outlines of a historic
crisis. Intermingled with tho gen
oral sorrow Is a noto of alarm that
cannot be allowed to go unheard.
The publicists admit that if King
George la not strong enough to set
tle the political crisis promptly, the
passing of tho monarchy Is within
tho range of possibility. King
George 'faces grave questions at
homo and abroad and ho assumes
his duties without having either tho
love, respect or support that his late
father and his grandmother, Queen
Victoria had to aid them in political
crises.
Tle views of, King Georgo aro
known onjyjn.partjbut tho cabinet
openly la not lh1 sympathy with the
few that aro known.
King Georgo Is confronted by the
problem of tho fight against tha su
premacy of tho lords which has ad
vanced to such a atago tha,t the sta
bility of the house of lords Itself Is
threatened.
The' now king niuBt facp grave
continental questions which aro the
outgrowth of tho antl-Brllish feeling
existing nnd manifest In Germany.
Ono of King Goorgo'B best known
characteristics. Is his anti-German
Bontimont.
England and Gormany have en
gaged In a race for the future con
trol of tho seas and leadership
among tho nations of tho old world.
Edward VII., twhIlo supporting tho
gonoral idea of competition with
Gormany, has succeeded In holding
back anti-Gorman sentiment and ob
taining In Gormany a similar condi
tion tending to hold in check ani
mosity between tho two countries.
King Georgo lo strongly in favor
of a larger navy. Ho has advocated
It at all times and It is believed
that ho will not abandon the hobby
oven though it should arouse the Ira
of tho Germans.
This will bo an Important tiling
at a tlmo whon the financial affairs
of tho nation are so unsettled as to
maka hard times more than a dis
tant spector.
A fow optimists, on tho other
hand, speak encouragingly on the,
chances tho now king has to show
his ability at tho outset of bis ca
reor.
Thoy point out that fears of the
pcoplo may bo exaggerated because
the heir apparent, now king, bod
been compelled to lead a colorless
oxistonco so as not to nttract atten
tion from tho rolgnlng monarch.
In splto of tho aocoptcd belief that
tho king Is without real power In
thp actual affairs of govornmont, ho
posBosBos a tremendous influence.
King Edward exercised this Influ
ence with cousumato skill and by his
personality alone avoided many of
tho shoals that might havo wrecked
tho monarchy. Even. Edward s tact
and tho devotion ho inspired" wero
not sufficient at all times to avoid
political unrest and tho most rest-
