Charles ]. Weller Is on his way
back to Tacoma. In custody Of
Captain Fitzgerald and Deputy
Sheriff Doten he was hustled on
board a train for Sacramento last
night. A stop was made at the
capital city and the requisition
papers issued by Governor. Hay

it believed, and Weller will be
locked up in the county jail to
await his preliminary examination.
Alibi Is Shattered.
If Charles Weller ever had an
idea that he would escape trial
by putting up an alibi, his hope
will be shattered when he is con-
fronted with the damning evidence
that has already piled up against
him, Sheriff Morris says. The
Portland men who at first were
positive they had seen and talked
with the accused man in the Rose
city on the fateful Monday when
Mrs. Schulz was done to death,
now declare themselves mistaken
about the day. The police do not
deny that Weller was in Portland
on the day before and the day
after the murder. But they de-
clare that they have a number of
witnesses who will furnish con-
vincing evidence that Weller went
to Gig Harbor on the steamer
Crest on the morning Of the mur-
der; that he had previously hired
the messenger boy to deliver the
decoy letter to Mrs. Schulz and

No Frauds Discovered.

Up to noon today everything q
seemed to be going quietly at the
polling places. The special men
who were looking for election
frauds did not find anything to re-
port, but a close watch is being
maintained and If anything shows
us, some one will be in trouble.
1t is said quite a few illegal
votes were cast during the day oy
citizens who since they had regis
tered had moved. They went
back and voted where they were
registered. This is unlawful, but
as the old party watchers with
their little poll books have been
eliminated there was no one at
hand to challenge them.
The ballot boxes will close at
9 o'clock tonight and it is ex-
pected the count will ibe made In
couple OF hours.
The race for controller IS
proving a decidedly warm one,
and good political guessers say
that Johnny Meads has at least
an even chance with weisbach,
and may beat him out in the end.
