Those who shake their heads sagely
at Russia, Mexico and other ~"benighted
and barbarous" lands may have over
looked the fact that 1t was in the
United States Of America and within
the borders of the state sometimes
called THE Mother Of Presidents"
that a mob lynched a man on merry
Christmas eve. This was q fitting
event TO crown an unprecedented
season of these violent interferences
with the law, despite the Incarceration
of a sheriff at the instance of the SUI
preme court, for permitting a prisoner
to be taken from him, a lesson that APP
pears to have passed unheeded. Whole
some respect for the law and obedience
thereto is absolutely necessary If this
government is to become a model for
the nations.

DEALT TO THE
DEFENSE
Detective FackIer Skaters Theory
of Woman's Attorneys That All

A hard blow was given the de-

Martina Kvalshaug today whea
the state called in rebuttal Detec-
tive William Fackler, the first po-
lice officer to obtain any state
ment from the woman regarding
the conspiracy to do away with
her husband.
The chief defense set up by the
woman's attorneys was that she
made the admissions of conspir-
acy while under a hypnotic state
and that in this state she assent
ed to the suggestive or leading
questions of the officers.
Knocks Props Out of Theory.
Packers mistaken testimony
would tend to totally disprove
this theory. According to his
statements, the woman answered
his questions freely and he did
not use even harsh language in
securing her admissions of con-
spiracy. She admitted to him
that on the day of the murder
she and Newcomb, while at the
Davenport hotel, had ag/eed tina.
her husband must be put out of
the way. She said also that
while at the dance the same even

charges of conspiracy and before

HARRY CALDWELL IN HOSPI-
TAI WITH DANGEROUS
WOUND IN HEAD-ASSAIL-
ANT UNKNOWN.

With his head badly cut from
what was evidently a blow from
a beer bottle, and weak from loss
of blood, Harry Caldwell, a print.
er widely known in Tacoma, was
found behind the Teddy Bar sa.
loon early this morning, where
he had been left by his unknown
assailant after the dangerous
blow was struck.
Someone from the saloon tele.
phoned to the police, and the am.
bulance was sent to the place
1905 Pacific avenue. The uncon.
|scious man was taken to the po-
lice station, and there, when his
head was washed, blood flowed
SO freely that the officers feared
he would bleed to death before
they could get the flow stopped
and the man cared for.
The cut was sewed up at the
Fanny Paddock hospital, and
Caldwell now lies there very
weak. He has not yet told who
1t was struck him, If the theory
that he was assaulted is correct,
OF bow the dangerous injury was
sustained if it came as the result
of an accident.
The bartender and those in the
saloon at the time deny all knowl-
edge of the affair. They say
Caldwell had been drinking there,
and left the saloon by the back
door. and that the next they
knew he had been discovered by
someone, whose name has not
been learned. Lying just outside
the place in the condition the
police found him..

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. IL
Confirmation of the report that

town, Nicaragua, was received to-
day in a cable message to Consul
General Sequiera. representing The
provisional government set up by

In the cable message all ves-

from the Nicaraguan port, which
is now in the hands of Zelaya's S
forces. A large force of revolu-
tionists under General Chamorro
hold a well fortified position on
the beach near the city, according
to the message.

TRAGIC STORY
OF ALMA BELL
is REVEALED
WITNESSES TELL IN COURT
HOW YOUNG WOMAN WHO
SHOT LOVER WAS DRIVEN
TO DESPERATION BY IN
SUITS AND INSINUATIONS.

AUBURN, Calf, Nov. H.
Manuel Armes, brother of Joe
Armes, for whose death Alma
Bell is on trial here, admitted
under cross-examination by At
torney Chamberlain for the de-
fense today, that on the night of
the killing, when the girl visited
the boys cabin, he called her a
vile name.
The word as spoken by Manuel
Armes was in Portuguese, and
when translated into English is
one of the worst epithets known
to the language. 1t is imprint
able.
Jury Shocked.
AS the witness admitted that
he used the term in reference to
the girl just before she killed his
brother, the defendant WINGED,
and the effect of the testimony on
the jury was apparent.
Chamberlain subjected the
young Portuguese to severe vol
ley of questions, but he held
close to mis- story as told in direct
examination.
The girl had recovered from
the shock of seeing the bloody
garments of her dead sweetheart
and was composed today. She
kept her eyes constantly on the
witness.
Manuel said that he was angry
at the girl when he applied the
vile name to her, and that he had
lost his temper.
"Good bye, Joe," Cried Girl.
He repeated how he heard
Alma cry, Good bye, Joe," after
the shooting, and declared that he
heard his brother cry three
times: "Oh, boys,"

who lived with the Armes boys
