Tacoma, Wash., Dee. 15. increasing
irritability of opposing attorneys in the
trial of 13 alleged "night riders" of
Pacific county enlivened the morning
session today. A clash occurred between
District Attorney Clay Alien rind John
O'Phelan, prosecuting attorney of Pa
cific county over certain affidavits,
the text of which has not yet come
into the records.
O'Phelan was accused by Allen of
causing the arrest, for ulterior motives
of Alvin Pnlkkinen, a witness for the
prosecution. Allen sought to show that
Pnlkkinen was employed as a "stool
pigeon" in county prohibition law
prosecutions and that O'Phelan, at the.
request of a brother of one of defense
counsel, had authorized a warrant for
Pnlkkinen, under the shadow of the
federal court. O'Phelan made a spirit
ed denial of the charge.
Feeling ran high all through the morn
ing session. Frank Martin, one of the
complaining witnesses, was asked bv
defense counsel if he, George Wheaten I
and others had not driven Stephen Hoot
off the land claimed by him, burned
his cabin. Martin admitted this, after
much wrangling.
Alma DeLong, sister of Mrs. George
Wheaten and formerly Mrs. Frank Mar
tin, testified that, she was one of th"
Party that went to the Hoot cabin and 1
!that she herself was armed with a rifle, i

Better Clothes
For Less
After investigating the Woolen Markets,
and the present price of ready-to-wear
garments of the better manufacturers, I
am prepared to say that I can make a tailor
made suit, made-in-Salem made of as good
or better materials, and made to fit your
individual person for less money than you
pay for ready-to-wear or "hand-me-downs."
The workmanship I put into clothes cannot
be duplicated in the state.
See my lines of woolens before you buy
your next suit.
