had plainly been a fiirtation-where-

forbearance; he had been fascinated
by the woman, had not besitated to
take Anisty's name (even as Anisty
was then taking his) in order to pro
long their intimacy.
So much the better. Turn about

as Anisty; the real Anisty would reap
the harvest. Pretty women interested

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 11.-Capt.
Peter c. Hams, .jr, U. S. A., tonight
faces prison term of from one to
twenty years. Despite the testimony
submitted by the defense to show in
sanity he was convicted of man
slaughter in the first degree for
killing Wialliam E. Annis at the Bay

Quickly following Hams convic-

would produce affidavits to show
that the jury had not been properly
guarded during the trial and upon
this allegation he will be submit

PROBE BRINGS To-
LIGHT MORE GRAFT

OLYMPIA, May 11.-As the probe
into the affairs Of the adjutant gen.
erals office continues, more irreg-
ularities are being discovered. In
fact most every day brings to light
some new graft practiced by the for
mer adjutant general. It is expected
and even limited that before the in
vestigation ceases there will be de-
velopments which will cause a sem
sation in the national guard and in
the state. 1t begins to look as If the
dragnet may scoop in many promi-
nent military men.
Fresh developments tend to show
that the state military department
is practically honeycombed with
graft and corruption and that the
peculations will amount to even a
greater sum than at first believed.
Soon after his arrest Ortis Hamilton
made the statement that he was not
he only one involved in he scandal
and that when he was placed on the
stand he would reveal certain things
that would cause a sensation. Late
developments indicate that the for
mer adjutant general was telling the
truth, for every indication points to
others being involved. To what en-
tent is a question of speculation and
conjecture.
A bill was received today from
the United States Cartridge company
of New Haven, Conn.,, for $256.69
for ammunition furnished the state
some time ago. AS warrant had al
ready been drawn for this consign-
ment on the voucher of the former
adjutant general it is the opinion
that Hamilton pocketed this amount
along with many others.

SCHIVELY PETTIFOGGING
His Lawyers Seek to Have Spokane
Indictments Quasked on Tech

SPOKANE, May lin the at
tempt to quash the indictments re-
turned against ]. H. Schively by the
grand jury, Attorneys H. M. Brooks
and E. D. Reiter argued motion in
Judge Webster's court this afternoon
for their dismissal.
The grounds upon which the mo-
tion is drawn are that out of fifty
men examined for the grand jury,
but twenty were found eligible. Four
of these were excused without
cause by Judge Huneke, and one
more, j. R. Gordon, was not present
at the time the jurymen were sworn
in, although he attended their meet
ings later.
1t is also alleged that not all the
names of witnesses examined at the
investigation were indorsed on the
Indictment, and the deputy prosecu-
tor, j. H. Pelletier, was present at
the sessions Of the jury, although
he had no right to attend.
Schively's attorneys allege further
that Schively was compelled to give
testimony, not knowing that his
own conduct was being Investigated,
and that had he known this he would
have used his right of refusing to
testify. Fred Pugh and w. c. Dom
ovan are representing the state and

defendant.

Pernoll, the left-hand finger, oc-
cupied the mound for Aberdeen, and
Mr.. Mickey O'Brien, the irrepressible
one, took his usual place behind the
plate. Davis, first up for Vancouver,
shot one to Pernoll and was out at
first, Donovan got hit but was
forced out at second by Mahon who
was forced at second by Quigley. In
the second Schumeber's grounder
was badly thrown by Carr and he
went to second before Strieb could
recover the ball, Sugden hit a groun-
der to Moore who made bad throw
to first, Schamweber scoring, and Joe
going to second; Smith beat out a
little one, Joe taking third on the
play, Smith got the signal for a
double steal and started with the
pitch, O'Brien shot the ball to Moore
at second who met the ball on the run
and sent it back to the plate, mailing
old man Joe; Snyder hit to Bewer
and didn't get to first, but Smith
went to third on the play. Paddock
got one to Moore who threw Smith
out at home. One run.
The third and fourth innings were
blanks for the Beavers, but in the
fifth after two men were down Davis
was hit by pitched ball, stole Sec
ond and scored on Donovan's hit, Ma
hon struck out. One run, making two
all told for Vancouver, and they got
no more.
Paddock pitched for Vancouver and
for six innings was stingy with his
hits. Campbell got one in the first,
Swain got a beautiful three-bagger
in the fourth, Pernoll one in the
fifth, and Swain in the sixth, but no
score came in.
Six innings gone, Paddock pitching
swell ball and no runs. But Bewer
poked one out and was safe on first,
Moore flew out, O'Brien hit safe,
Bewer going to second, Pernoll was
given his life at first by miscue of
somebody. That filled the bases and

volver yesterday afternoon, and sue
ceeded in making his escape. Kossal-
ter lies at the Aberdeen General Hos
pital in a serious condition, although
the chances for his recovery are
good. The small leaden bullet
struck him Immediately over the
right eye and fiattened in passing
through the frontal bone, which is
all that saved Kossalter from in
stant death.
AS soon as he fired the shot, and
before the men in the foundry had
time to realize what had been done,
Nelson ran out Of the shop and dis
appeared. He was bareheaded, and
in his foundry clothes, but up to last
evening the police had no clue to
his whereabouts, although it is be-
lieved he is in hiding in the city, and
that, being without money or his
clothes, he will be gathered in by the
police.
Kossalter and brother, who
worked with him, have been on Grays
Harbor about five years, and three
years ago, Jerry went to Italy and
was married, returning to Aberdeen
with his bride, and is now the faith
er of an infant child. Nelson had
made practise of nagging the Ital-
ians for months, and yesterday
morning the brothers told him 1t had
to be stopped. The former evidently
armed himself at noon and prepar-
ed for trouble, as he began abus-
ing the Kossalter brothers soon after
one o'clock. The nagging continued
OF and on for more than an hour,
when the Italians resented 1t, and
Jerry and Nelson had a mix-up In
which neither were harmed. AS soon

present are not sure that Nelson had
the pistol in his pocket, or that he
had it hid in the shop where he
could readily seize and use it. Had
the pistol been larger, or carried a
steel bullet, Kossalter would have re-
ceived fatal wound.
Nelson was seen about an hour
after the shooting on First street
near I, and DR.. Wheeler's ''lood-
hounds were put on his track at that
point, but without result. The po-
lice and hounds worked nearly all
night, but the dogs lost all track at
First and Division streets, so ttat 1t
is probable that he took trolley car
from there either to Hoquiam or Cos
mopolis. 1t was learned that he had
put on his hat and coat before leav-
ing the foundry, and, as he believed
he had killed his man, is no doubt
getting out of the country as fast as
he can.

WILLIAMS GETS OFF EASY
Tampering With Witness Is Appar-
emily not Considered a Very Se-
rious 0ffense in Superior
Court.

w. w. Williams, who was con-
victed in the superior court Of having
tampered with a materiel witness in
a damage suit, was sentenced Mon
day, to pay a fine of $500 and the
costs of prosecution. In passing SEN
tence, Judge Irwin observed that
Williams was not so blameable as
those who were behind him.
To those who have watched this
case, the light sentence appears to
set low price on spiriting witness
es out of the state in damage suits.
No one doubted that Williams was
hired to do what he did and the
prosecuting attorney used every eff
fort to induce him to tell who the
higher ups were, but without avail.
That the fine will be paid, and
Williams reimbursed for his time in
Jail goes without saying, but the
sentence is not encouraging to the
prosecuting attorney, who had the
right to expect that if Williams was
being paid for his silence, the court
would see that the price would
come high, by imposing the max
imum sentence allowed by law. This
would have either caused Williams to
squeal, or prove to his employers
that those operations cost high fig
ures in Chehalis county. AS it is,
