was acting as . reporter for the Norn;sa
UHson. was called and testified that he in.
tervisved Wilcox on the day following his
arrest, and the latter made full state.
ment for publication Wilcox had said
that he left the cigar store on Pacific ave-
nue. ~ about or 10 o'clock on the night of
September 4.
City License Collector DsfYsnbsch. of
1acoma, WAS called TO the stand to tell of
conservation In Lsvy's cigar store shortly
after Wileox's arrest He was asked
vhether while those present we're taking
OF the affair some one did not say:
wilcox Was not here that day; he was
In Seattle" Upon which Jumbo" Can't
reii spoke mp: You keep your God d--m
mouth shut; you amt supposed to know
anything about that" Dsffenbach re-
piled: mo. IL was not exactly that way.
The other fellow said that. but Jumbo said:
On, you shut your d-m mouth you don't
know anything about this case. Wilcox
vas bers eli day PLAYING cards.'"
Ihis answer placed . different interpre-
tation on the conversation and made il a.
favorable Tor Wilcox a. for the state.
Here the noon recess was taken.
When court opened after the recess
Charley King and Walter Ress were both
placed on the stand to tell Of . converss-
tion In which Rees said:
IF IL was not for such little devils as
you. Wilcox wouldn't b. whore he IL
now
One contradictsd the other absolutely
and there the matter rested. The next
witness In rebuttal was Henry Quinn,
gambler. who said that he was in . game
OF cards ct the cigar stand with Wilcox
early In September; he thought IL was
on Saturday, September z but was not
certain. At that time Wilcox opened Q
jack pot for his whole swad." The wit
ness laid down his three queens. and then
Wilcox showed only jacks. at which the
witness remarked that Wilcox had nerve.
Wilcox on direct examination admitted
that the play mentioned Was made, but on
Labor day. Monday. September 4. not two
days before.
Detective Cudihes Of Seattle, and Capt
Devereaux, Of the Tacoma police force,
were called by Mr.. Miller next. They
were TO impssch Wilcox by repeating con-
VIBRATIONS with him In the city Jail at
Tacoma. They said that Wilcox said
when first arrested that he spent the even
Ing Of Labor day up to 10 o'clock at the
Comique variety theaser. where he saw
not soul who knew him.
The next witness the state wanted Was
George i. Whitioek. Of Tacoma who Was
20 testify that he had heard the defend
ants witnesses drilled in body in tell
ing the story Of wilcox's actions in Ia
coma on the day OF the murder. A
deputy sheriff called Mr.. whitlock's
name In the court and in the
halls outside. hut Its owner
didn't show mp. George Was gone"
Inquiry revealed that Mr.. whitiock had
been subp9naed by the defense. but not
by the prosecution, and had gone back to
Tacoma when he had testified for the side
which had called him. But II he had
gone to Tacoma 10 had been very sud
den departure, for he was seen around the
courthouse not an hour before. Mr.. Mil
Ter wanted the cour. 10 wait until bench
warrant would hrins the missing witness
back, but Judge Humes was OF the o2in-
ion that il would not be advisable. The
state then rested its case. Mr.. Conner told
tho court that he had some rebastai. bus
decided not 10 use II after all. and Judge
Humes ordered the argument.
