With WiIcox's conviction. Cudihee in
dignsrtly denied the implied accusation,
and said that. although the pieces of label

he had carried the bottle to 100 different
drug stores and il had been worn quite

said that they lifted ..iike two bricks"

not say.
Louis Bohn, Of Taccma, the old woman's
grandson. who was once under suspicion
OF the crime. took the stand. He is .
black-eyed, biack-haired young fellow.
with iow retreating forehead. and his
unpleasant features are only redeemed by
o pleasant smile. He told about a con-
versation bet~een Wilcox and King about
the shingle mill they were intending to
start. They needed some money, and
Wilcox suggested that they borrow 1t of
Ernest Fstsins. Then Bohn, who was in
the Hunters Home saloon with them.
broke in. aging that Ernest would not
lend IL, for his mother would not allow il.
and she and Ernest were '.in together on
such things." Bohn SAID that his step
father (King) was nearly always ont of
work, and that he himself was also about
the same great deal of the time. He
spent his leisure hours around the Hunt
ers' Home saloon.
Charles King. Louis Bohn's half-brother,
q rather Eood-iookinK boy IS or 10 years
old, with . heavy German cast of counte-
nance. took the stand. He co-roborated
Bohn's story Of the shingle mill converse
ton. On cross-examination an attempt
to show prejudice against Wilcox was
made, but without effect. It is said that
the boy told two friends in Tacoma on
January 10 that he wss going over to
help hang Wilcox"
