IVEDB CASE SUBMITTED TO THE JURY AFTKlt ELEVEN-DAY TRIAL THE INDICATIONS AUK THAT WKIJD WILL NOT GET MOKE THAN SECOND DEGREE MUtDElt AT MOST. frwrrrn mrsx i..ko wirr.1 Tortlund, Or., Oct. 21 The case of Jesso P. Webb, on trial for the mnrdnr of William A. Johnson at the New Grand Central Hotel June 20, went to the Jury today. In delivering his charge Judge Morrow, of the cir cuit court, cautioned the Jurymen to be careful In arriving at a vordlct, owing to conflicting evidence that wan Introduced during the trial by vari ous witnesses. Apparently Webb's chances of es caping conviction of first degree mur der were best when the Jurymen filed from the court room to begin their review of testimony that has taken up. the court's time for the last 11 days. The fact that both Webb and Johnson were both under the Influ ence of liquor, was established i by witnesses for the state and defense, and because they had Quarreled over Mrs. Carrie Klrsch, who Is charged with Johnson's murder also. Is considered by Webbs' at torneys as being a strong point la his favor. They asserted that Webb would not be cqnvlcted of murder In the flret degree, although they admit ted that the Jury might return a ver dict of murder in the second degree. In his closing argument yesterday Attorney Senaca Fouta, for the de fense, dwelt strongly on the Infatu ation of Webb for Mrs. Kersoh as the real cause of tho crime. He sought to convince the Jury that Johnson's money was not the Incen tive for the murder. The money, $1800, was found In . the possesion of Mrs. Kersch, fol lowing their arrst aftr Johnson's body was found stuffed In a trunk at the union depot. Grand Jury Called.
