FRANK M,DAsrnDs DEFENSE.
witnesses Introduced to Prove m
Alfbf for Him.


PORTLAND. Dec. 14-Davd L. Gee,
of Port Townsend; r. l.. Morse and Mrs:
Morse. OF this city were the principal
witnesses for the defense in the trial
OF Frank Mcdaniel for the murder. Of
Claire Fitch. The defense endeavored to
prove by all the witnesses that Mcdaniel
reached his home before 1880 on the
night Of the murder. d. L. Gee testified
that on the night Of the murder he saw
a young man and young woman standing
on the corner Of East Sixth and East
HOyt streets. The couple were talking,
huggtng and kissing. He claims to have
watched them fifteen or twenty minutes.
when the young man walked away from
the girl Without noticing what the girl
did, Gee says he watched the young man
to see II he knew him, and that view
enables him now to identify Mcdaniel
as the same person. Gee went into his
house. Immediately. looked at the clock
and swears II was then just five minutes
before II. The court record was pro-
duced to show that Gee had served a
term in the Oregon penitentiary for
forgery, and District Attorney Giltner
said he would produce evidence to show
that Gees evidence was Jobbery. Mr..
and Mrs. Morse, at whose residence Mr.
Daniel, lived. testified that he came homo
before 1l:30.
