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.
