HALL SAYS HE WAS STABBED IN BACK

Carl Hall, Ora Holdman and Robert
Fancher, the three Pearsons academy
students who were expelled yesterday
by the Whitman college faculty, deny
the story printed in an evening paper
that they slugged Heber Ryan, whom
they attempted to throw in the pond
on the campus Wednesday night. On

used a knife on two of them.

Heber Ryan and kicked him in the
head is not true said Carl Hall to

told him that if he would go home
and not mention the occurrence to any
one we would not throw him in the
pond. He promised to do so and we
assisted him to his feet. Before Ryan
gave up the fight he drew knife from
his pocket and struck me four times
in the back. One of the thrusts cut
through nv clothes and entered my

cash about half an inch deep. Ht
