GORDON. IN
SUPREME
COURT
Nine Judges Today Hear
ing Part Of the Cast
Against Former
Justice.
lHx limited Press Leased Nire.l

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OLYMPIA, March 26.-For the
first time in history nine judges
occupied the bench today in the
Washington supreme court. The
proceedings which called the court
together are part of case against
a former Judge of the supreme
court, being the petition of Prose-
cutting Attorney Pugh, of Spo-
kane county, to compel Superior
Judge Huenke of Spokane, to show
cause why he refuses to allow the
Spokane grand jury the services of
q stenographer to take testimony.
The grand jury is investigating
the case of M. J. Gordon, former
Supreme judge, who has been ac-
cused Of shortage in his accounts
with the Great Northern, of which
company he was until recently an
attorney. AT the demand Of P. c..
Sullivan and Frank Graves, attor-
neys for Gordon, Judge Huenke
ordered that no stenographer's re-
port of testimony be taken in the
jury room. Prosecutor Pugh con-
tends that this ruling will prevent
successful work by the Jury, as
without a complete record of the
mass of testimony the jurors will
be unable to pass intelligently up
on matters submitted to them.
Last Friday Mr.. Pugh came here
and after argument succeeded in
securing a writ from the supreme
court ordering Judge Huneke to
show cause here today why his
ruling should not be set aside.
Mr.. Pugh has remained here ever,
since preparing his case In the
state law library.
In view of the Importance of the
case, Judge Morris of Seattle, and
Judge Parker of Tacoma, recently
appointed to the supreme bench
under the new law increasing the
court to nine members, were asked
to come here to sit at the hearing.
These new judges had not intend
ed to take their places on the|
bench until April 1. A number of
other attorneys are In attendance,
as the procedure has attracted
much interest.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAMARA, Russia, March 26.-
The police authorities today are
investigating the career of Nine.
POpOva who was arrested recently
on charges of numbering undesir-
able husbands by wholesale. The
woman is declared to have con-
fessed to having killed three hum
dren men in the last thirty years,
but the police think she is exag-
gerating her deeds.
The authorities, however, ad-
mitted that the woman will prove
probably the greatest murderess
in Russian history.
Nine. Popova is declared to
have said that her own unhappy
life caused her to conceive the
idea of relieving unfortunate
wives of cruel husbands.
She claims to have accepted a
small fee for each killing and
says that the operations have been
over large part Of the province
of Astrakhan.
The police claim that such a
career would be impossible, as she
would have been detected at the
beginning Of her operations.

MYSTERY
UMS0LvED
WHETHER PAETZ GIRL COM
MITTED SUICIDE OR WAS
MURDER VICTIM STILL UN-
KNOWN.

Although County Coroner G.. d
Shaver has apparently dropped the
investigation of the case, the death
of Katherine Paetz, found with 9
bullet hole through her head
Wednesday afternoon. lying in ar
abandoned hut near 23rd and No
Mason ST., is still shrouded II
deepest mystery. The dead gir
was buried yesterday afternoon
simple rites being performed al
Hoska's chapel.
After becoming more composed
Mrs. Fred Paetz. mother of the
dead girl, and who found hel
daughter lying in the shack will
her head covered with a cape
made statements which tend t
cloud the circumstances more thar
ever. According to Mrs. Paetz
she had been pasturing the famil,
COW In vacant lot, and was or
her way home when she glanced
through the window of the aband
oned house, which has not beer
for several months.
The girls breast and head were
covered with the cape, and at frs
Mrs. Paetz thought that hel
daughter might be i'll or sick. She
pulled the cape from the girls
head and saw the horrible death
wound on the young girls tenn.
pie.
The conflicting part of the story
is the fact that Mrs. Paetz will
swear, she says, that her child's
right arm was beneath her head
that the left hand was lying com
posedly upon her breast, with the
revolver loosely clutched In the
fingers; and that the cape was
carefully laid over the entire
head and breast.
1t is believed that If Miss Pact,
killed herself, some other person
entered the shack afterwards and
placed her body in a natural posi-.
tion. This seems improbably
however, and from other circum-
stances 1t seems probable that
Mrs. Paetz, owing to excitement
was mistaken about the condition
IN which the body was found.

reticent. 1t Is supposed, how
ever, that Mrs. Emery and her
daughter had previously made ar
rangements to have the train slow
up for them just before crossing
the river into the heart of Port
land.
All that could be learned from
any member OF the train crew
was that Miss Emery. On her jour-
ney northward, had sent several
kilograms back to San Francisco

No License In Portland.
Even If Aoki and Miss Emery
had sought license in Portland
they would have been turned down
by the license clerk. County Clerk
Fields has issued strict instruc-
tions to all of his deputies to re-
fuse license should the couple
apply for one. "If they ask for
a license and attempt to argue tho
matter throw them out of the or
fice," was part of the instructions
to the deputies.
