WIFE CONFfSSES
TO SAVE SPOUSE
TELLS OF DISHONOR AT TRIAL
OF HUSBAND
Slayer of Frederick Walton Subject to
Searching Examinatlon--Woman
viii Go on Witness Stand
Today
[By Associated Press


DENVER. March 26.-In an effort to
exonerate her husband for the killing
of Frederick w. Walton of Wallace,
Idaho, for which he is now on trial.
Mrs. John H. Cradlebaugh took the
stand In his defense today and told
without hesitation of her relations with
Walton and of the discovery of Walton
In her room by her husband on De-
cember 6, 1908.
She told how she held her husband
and pushed him from the room while
Walton escaped.
Cradlebaugh continued his testimony
today and told in graphic words of his
meeting with Walton on the streets of
Denver, of Walton's refusal to disclose
the whereabouts of his wife and child,
and of the shooting.
Damn you, 1 don't know anything
about them," were the words, Cradle
baugh says, in which Walton answered
him.
He said the words were accompanied
by q movement toward his hip pocket
by Walton, as though the latter in
tended to draw a revolver, and in ter
ror of his own life Cradlebaugh drew
his own weapon and fired.
Cradlebaugh was subjected to a
searching croSs-eXamination regarding
his knowledge of the relations between
Walton and his wife, and admitted
that those relations had been the sub
ject of trial before the Sisters of Re-
becca lodge Of Wallace, Idaho.
The court refused to admit portions
of the evidence of Chief &C Police Arm
strong of Denver, Carl Cradlebaugh,
the 14-year-old son, whose letter to his
father brought the latter to Denver,
and other witnesses for the defense.
Mrs. Frederick w. Walton, wife of
the murdered man, will take the stand
for the state tomorrow.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-27

TIME active fight maintained by the
members of the recall campaign
n mittee, from the day of their APP
pointment, was continued to the minute
the polls closed last night. A co-opera-
ton never seen before in any reform
fight in California has been evident
throughout all ramifications Of the re-
call campaign, and the way in which
volunteers responded from all classes OF
voters made the work a peoples cam
paign in the fullest sense.
Every effort consistent with a move
ment for a decent government was car
ried out by the recall campaign COM
mittee. The work of organization and
Of raising funds was accomplished
unostentatiously. A similar dignity
marked the other phases OF the work,
and from the recall standpoint much
that might have been said to illuminate
the campaign was not referred to be-
cause 1t was felt 1t was not necessary
to tell half the situation to place Los
Angeles in the front ranks Of decent
municipalities.
The machine, in fact, rather underes-
timated the strength Of the organiza-
ton work of the recall forces, and
counted on their inability to get out
votes. Even many friends of the recall
