Wylie disposed OF TIE diamond a short
time afterwards to = man who pawned 1t
for small amount. A few days after the
stone was pawned, according to the story
which will be told by the defense, Hooper
saw Adams at Tom Lyons saloon and &C
cused him of stealing the stone. He also
threatened Adams that unless the dia-
mond was forthcoming he would have him
arrested and sent to the penitentiary.
Adams then consulted with his pals and
they concluded that the best thing to do
was to stop Hooper by giving him back
the stone. Accordingly roundup was
made and the gem lifted" from the
pawnshop. Then comes the, remarkable
part of the story. The ganf. fearing to
trust one of its own number, agreed to
give the diamond to Billy Edwards, who
in turn was to give it to Norm King,
who would deliver it to Hooper. This was
the program of the gang, which they de-
clare was carried out faithfully, so far
as they were concerned. But Edwards,
according to the King version, ignoring
the time honored adage Of "honor among
thieves" bethought him Of his old pal,
Norbeck, man whom he needed IN mis-
business. He knew that Norbeck was
head over heels in love with Carrie Emer-
son and that Norbeck would delight In
making her present Of a diamond. SO
Edwards took the matter up with Nor
beck secured all manner of concessions
and promises from him, and then gave
him the stone Norbeck at once had the
diamond set in a ring for Carrie Emerson,
who now has the diamond in her posses
sion. King never saw. the. diamond:
This is the story, with sundry details OF
a. corroborative nature, which the defense
will hand to the states lawyers. >.'

There is, settled conviction in official
circles that Carrie Emerson can tell
where Norbeck is. AS result of pres
sure now being brought to bear 1t is be-
lieved that she will before long divulge
the secret. (
Convinced that she is in possession Of
information that will place the missing
detective in the clutches of the law, As
sistant County Attorney AL j.. Smith this
on the charge Of keeping a house of i'll
fame. On the strength of this charge she
is now being held in the county Jail When
she insisted. in the county attorneys Of
fee, that she was unable to throw any
more light on tNerbeck's whereabouts, the
fact was made plain to her that unless she
told all she knows about the mystery of
Norbeck's disappearance, and without
much further delay, the gates of the
states prison will yawn for her The
keeping of a house Of Ill fame is statu-
tory offense puishaple by term Of seven
years in the penitentiary.
The woman was visibly affected to learn
her 5positoni before the law, but she con-
tinued to; keep her counsel. Before she
was committed to Jail, Detective James
Howard accompanied her to Judge Har-
rison's chambers. where the court sub
tected her to close Interrogation as to
her connection with the Norbeck case.
She again showed signs OF weakening, al
though she still held to the story she
told when she. surrendered herself last
evening, namely that she had last seen
Norbeck at the Imperial hotel, Washing
o'clock Monday evening, and that he had
failed to keep later appointment with
her at the Sterling winehouse, st. Paul
The search for Norbeck Is to be vigor-
ously prosecuted from now on: The sud
den termination OF the case in court by
the defendants disappearance, the dis,
nissa Of the Jury this morning and the
fact that County Attorney Boar Imam is
trying the grand larceny case against
Detective King, leaves al J. Smith free
to devote his entire time to solving the
Norbeck puzzle. While It is not generally

test. on the isthmfan proposition in the
senate to-day was an amendment ofrered
by Mr. Mitchell Of Oregon giving the
president the choice of routes even II he
could secure title for the Panama route.
1t was laid on the table, AZ to 3d.. - r.
Special to The Journal. ,..- H.
Washingt on, June 1s.-There was every
Indication this morning that the senate
would pass the Panama canal bill late
this afternoon. Advocates of the Nicara-
qua project have not given up hope, but
they seem to be in the minority. -.
The bill slated to be passed Is known
by the name of Senator Spooner. It au-
thorizes the president to- acquire the
Panama rights and property If it shall be
found that good title can be furnished.
If not, the president Is authorized to &C
uuire the Nicaragua route. = - X ,,....
This sounds much more like business
than 1t really is. The passage by the
senate of the spooner bill really leaves
the building. of an isthnian canal as far
off as ever. The house of represent atives
has passed bill for. canal at Nicaragua,
and until the two branches Of congress
harmonic in the matter of route and all
other details there is no legislation.
A conference committee will be ap-
pointed to at tempt to effect an agreement
but it is not anticipated that this com
mittee will be ready to report before, the
next session Of congress, and then the
fight over the routes will be renewed in
the house, to which the conference COM
mittee must report for approval.
There is another obstacle which must
cause delay. If the Panama route is
chosen a treaty must be negotiated with
the Columbian government, and this treat,
must be ratified by two-thirds of the
United States senate. So, after all, 1t, Ii
largely case Of now you see 1t and nov
you don't. s5
It seems to be the opinion here that the
real friends of the isthmian canal projec
favor the passage of the Nicaragua cana
bill, for this would accomplish perfected
piece Of legislation and would give th,
president power actually to start work
While some may be SINCERE in preferrin,

called at the sheriff's Office this after
noon, in response to a sumomns from
Deputy Sheriff 10th. When 10th visited
Carrie Emerson In jail this morning she
that she wanted to talk with him. Olson
is known to have been an intimate friend
Of Norbeck, and he has admitted to 10th
that he undertook. during the detectives
trial, to bring two men from st. Paul to
prove an alibi in Norbeck's behalf and
thus disprove some of the charges made
against him
Both Olson and the Emerson woman
admit that she spent some time at his
place Monday afternoon, and that she had
several drinks there. They as stoutly
deny that Norbeck was there or that the
woman again visited the place Tuesday,
It Is regarded as a rather significant fact
that while all the other windows In the
the rooms an airing, the blinds Of the

| tion remained closely drawn. It is in
| this room that Norbeck Is said to have
put in the day sleeping off the effects Of

bibed the night before.
Considerable meaning may also attach

fore any one else had talked with him.

Gated with her by telephone and assured
her that it was safe to come home and

Both she and Norbeck were frequent

thought possible that his present location
may be traced through that channel.

''Norrn" W. King detective and captain
Of police. came to trial this morning be-
fore Judge Simpson on an indictment
sharging him with being an accessory TO
q felony.
Al ]. Smith. who convicted Gardner and
made It so warm for Norbeck that the
latter fed. does not appear for the state
in this case. Fred H. Boardman. county
attorney, is conducting the prosecution
instead. This change has given rise to
great deal Of gossip regarding the rela-
tions between the county attorney and his
assistant Mr.. Smith this afternoon
would not discuss the matter, but 1t is
understood that he will not sit in the
case. After Mr.. Smiths vigorous cross
examination Of Chief Ames in the Gard
ner case, predictions were made at the
city hall that the assistant county attor-
ney would be retired from prominence IN
the police cases. It appears that this has
come to pass though not due to causes
traceable to the city hall.
Two Early Jurors.
Within an hour from the time the King
TRIAL opened this morning two jurors were
sworn and in their seats in the jury box.
After that, however. progress was slower
and of the other men called during the
morning session not one was found avail
able. IT, .- .@.- ...
The court room was crowded with We
nirennen. awaiting their turn in the wit
negses' chair. Victor Welch and Frank
A. Hubachek appear for the defense.
Two indictments were returned against
King, one charging grand larceny in the
second degree as baillee, and the other
accusing the detective of having become
an accessory to a felony, after the fact.
The trial is being held under the second
of these two indictments. the specific
charge being that King connived at the
escape OF one Harry Adams, who is said
to have stolen a diamond stud from. j. S..
Hooper - Z
The defense Is making, every effort to
keep the King case distinct from other
police cases In which the defendants are
charged with bribery, and this idea is
impressed upon each juror called for ex-
animation. Evidently Mr.. Welch and Mr..
41uDdCueh uelleNt CuaI DIlUe- IdhluS Is d
particularly obnoxious crime in the minds
of most men and they want to see that
their client Is kept free from the odium
OF such a charge. even though it is made
1nferentially. -
Each juror is also asked whether he
knows Captain Alexander. Former Sheriff
Phil T. Megaarden, or the present sheriff
or any member of his force. 1t was the
theory of the defense in the Gardner case
that these men were the head and front of
O conspiracy said to have been formed
against the city administration, and the
present line of questioning seems to in
dicate that like theory will be intro
duced In the King trial.
Defense May Use Norbeck. :
Apart from this, however, the defense
expects to show that the men who robbed
Hooper of his diamond, in the Great
Western stations were Harry Adams, John
Reid and a third man. Reid and the
third man did the "stalling"; that is,
bupted into Hooper and made a demon
stration which diverted his attention,
while Adams stole the pin. This was sold
by some one, presumably one of the gang.

Up Promptly.
At the opening of proceedings this morn
ing Mr. Welch asked the court to appoint
triers and George W. Meyers, A. B. Oar
elius and Willoughby M. Babcock were
named. There was no preliminary spar
ring and at twenty minutes past ten the
first juror, Charles A. Dano, was caHeo
for examination. Mr.. Welch explained to
him the nature Of the charge against
King, which has already been made pub
lie. To Mr. Hubachek the Juror sald ne
resided at 2116 Willow avenue N and that
he's was IN the real estate business: He
knew no one connected with either side
of the case. He was sworn and took his
seat in the jury box. ~g-,----'''N7~-. - : z.
The. second juror called was Herman
Heft, cooper, residing at 3106 Fifteenth
avenue S. He said he had formed no opin-
ion and added that If sworn as juror,
it would become his duty to try the case
fairly and impartially. .'But would you
do so?" asked Mr.. Bubachek. The juror
looked very Indignant at this, but said:
II certainly will Neither Dane nor
Heft were challenged by the state.

cover whether or not Arthur Fritz, a

Jurors in the Norbeck bribery case were
discharged this morning.
It was the states expectation to pro-

This Indictment, or any of the others
