against him. Caldwell again re-
iterated that he had not been
asked and that he was never
promised imm unity if he de-
vulged what he really knew.
Asked if it was not true that
he had his eyes on reward which
had been increased and that his
activity in the case arose from
the desire to get the reward.
Caldwell answered hotly that be
did not expect to get any reward
if James Wesley was convicted;
but got tangled in his explana-
tions.
On redirect examination,
Caldwell stated that his attorney
at that time (Mr. Scrutchin) had
told him not to talk with anyone.
Caldwell told of the return of
Paul Fournier from visit to
the Tamarack river, after the
disappearance of the Dahl's, and
how he and Deputy Sheriff Gill
stad had visited Paul's house.
Conversation drifted to the Dahl's
and their disappearance and

Particular attention was given
by the counsel for the defense as
to Caldwell's actions in discover
ing the remains of N. O. Dahl,
and his subseq uent acts when
arrested and placed in the Bel
tcami county jill on the charge of
being connected with the disap-
pearance Of the Dahl's.
He was asked why he had
taken such a lively interest in the
more recent attempts to punish
the slayers of the Dahl's, and
why he had not sooner told of the
things which be now so freely
vouchsafed.
To all of these questions, Cald-
well defantly answered that he
was not asked concerning them.

afraid of nothing, but didn't

Wesley say that he buried his

later discovered the same tracks
toward the large balsam tree
under which the remains of Dahl
we're long afterward found; that
these tracks were made by
"Shorty" and Fournier.

Oppose McCrary
Liquor License
Resolutions of Protest by Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of
Friday Harbor.

Inasmuch as the retiring board of coun-
ty commissioners, during the closing
hours of their last session, approved the
granting of license to w. I'll. McCrary
for the opening of the ST. Charles or mid
die saloon, in Friday Harbor, thereby ad
ding another public nuisance to our town,
we, the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, respectfully protest against such
action, and
Whereas, said action was tax en- without
giving the citizens OF Friday HarbCr OF
others immediately affected, an oppor
tunity to be heard before giving such APP
prevail.
1t has been demonstrated in this COM
munity that the saloon retar's the growth,
morally, intellectually and commercially;
it also breeds crime and places an addi-
tional burden on the taxpayers. The sa
loon, as everyone knows. is the sworn
enemy of our homes, bringing only un
happiness and poverty; it brings lawless
and dsreputable women and men to the
town. Our children, going to and from
school, come in contact with those whose
conduct is shameful and whose language
is vile.
We believe a sober man respects at least
the purity of a little child, while a man
from the SALOON respects neither himself
nor the most innocent.
Whereas, tiis organization desires the
moral and commercial welfare OF the peo-
pie of Friday Harhor and San Juan COun-
ty and would have this beautiful county
of islands made inviting to all who wish
to come to our shores and erect happy
homes and seek good influences for their
children, be it
Resolved that we condemn the action of
the county commissioners in theprelnises
and urge all good citizens who have the
interest of our county and town at heart
to strongly oppose the granting OF this adj
ditional license and the licensing of any
other saloon in our county.
