pECS BAILIFF FOR CHANCE TO
FEAST HER EYES ON HIM
WHILE HE'S IN TOLLS OF
THE LAW.

Let me get to the front to get
a look at that fellow said wOm-
an In Judge Webster's court. today
to Bailiff Ullman as she pointed
toward Paul Clein, on trial for his
life for the murder of John
Saudawski.
He made love to me once" said
she, land want to see what he
looks like when in the tolls of the
law"
The woman appeared very bitter
toward Clein, but in the hurry and
rush incident to caring for the
crowd she was lost from the view
OF Ullman before he could get her
name.
The incident was reported to
Prosecutor Pugh, and he sent his
sleuths In quest of the new ex-
sweetheart of Clein, who Is No. 3
in the list thus far uncovered by
the state.
Two other former sweethearts of
Clein, May Randall Of Kaslo, b. c.,
and Mrs. Ada Douglas of Spokane,
have been called as witnesses by
the state. Clein has developed a
record of being exceedingly popu-
lar with some women and seems
to have been on very friendly
terms with number OF them at
the same time.
Prosecuting Attorney Fred C,
Pugh, in his opening statement In
the Clein murder trial today, for
the first time told Of new evidence
the state had secured showing that
Clein hired rig at the Keystone
stables at 8 o'clock on the night
of March l, the date Of John
Saudawski's death, and that he did
not return to the barn until nearly
IL that night. Saudawski is sup
posed to have been killed between
the hours of and IL that night
MIR. Pugh further said that the
state would show by one Schultz,
bartender and former roomate OF
Clein, that the latter was familiar
with the region north of Fort
Wright. where tie dead body of
Saudawski was found, and had
once tried to have Schultz accom-
pany him there in a buggy for the
alleged purpose Of seeing two wom-
en- whom Clein claimed lived
north of the fort. The prosecutor
said that undoubtedly Clein used
the pretext of going to see these
women as a ruse to get Saudawski
to accompany him to his doom, and
that the rig hired at the Keystone
stable that night Is the one In
which Saudawski took his last ride
while alive. Clein hired another
rig the following morning at the
o. X. stables, was gone nearly two
hours, and is supposed to have
again visited the scene of the MUIR
der.
Mr.. Pugh commended that the mo-
tive that impelled the crime was
robbery. but that the murderer in
his haste to search the dead man
and relieve him of his valuables
overlooked the envelope on the in
side Of the vest that contained
$40 in currency, and the small slip
of paper in the watch pocket of
Saudawski's trousers that contain
ed the name of Charles Koneki and
led to the Identification of the muir
dered man.
All the various other details and
circumstances tending to connect
Clein with the crime were given az
length In order that the jury might
have knowledge of the points
sought to be brought out by the
state. Altogether the states case
forms strong array of circum.
stantialSevidence against Clein.
At the close of the statement by
Mr. Pugh, which consumed all of
this forenoon's session, Attorney
Alex Winston Of counsel for the
defense remarked to newspaper
men that he was ready to make a
motion to have the court return a
