wife were returning to their home
at South 18th street and Puget
Sound avenue. They had been at
dance at Pallies' hall, which
Newcomb also attended. New
comb had left the hall early In
the evening. He declares that he
talked it over with the woman
and that they agreed to carry out
the plan to murder Kvalshaug
that night.
AS the KvaIshaugs entered
dark path whkh leads from the
street to their home, Newcomb
rushed out upon them and shot
Kvalshaug three times with a
revolver
Newcomb swears that Mrs.
kvalshaug commanded him to
shoot again. but that he refused,
whereupon she grabbed the gun
and shot two more bullets into
the postrate body of her hus-
band.
Both Confess
She then ran to her home and
Newcomb went to his. Both were
arrested early the following
morning and made written con-
fessions to the police.
The woman's confession was
rot introduced by the state in
this trial, but was read In the
other two trials. She declared
her confessions to be untrue and
chaged the Tacoma police with us

get 1t out of her.

Mrs. Kvalshaug later went
downstairs into the jail, where
she will probably stay until this

Took -Four Ballots
Interviewed by a Times report
er. Foreman of the Jury c. w.
Blake intimated that they had
had one of the hardest times any
jury could have had. They had
only taken four ballots. the time
being principally occupied with
q careful analysis OF the evidence.
The first ballot taken was 10 to
2 in favor of acquittal. The
second was the same.
The third ballot brought It
down to IL to l and the last
ballot was unanimous for ac-
quittal.
Causes Indignation.
The expressions of Indignation
that are heard on all sides con-
cerning the verdict will prob
ably eliminate in something be-
ing done to alter the system. AS
a prominent court official re-
marked after the verdict had been
read. 1T is no use bringing women
to this court. Let them do what
they like. We had two women
here not long ago charged with
murder and they also went free. "
Dozens of persons have called
up the Times today, expressing
disgust with the outcome of the
trial. One woman suggested that
a petition to free Newcomb be
started, as she said that would be
only just.
A Queer Jury.
After the verdict had been CIV
en- and the excitement had sub
sided, the Times reporter endeav-
|ored to get an expression of their
experiences from several of the
jurymen. ITO hell with the
press" was the lucid answer Of
fered by one Juryman.
I'VE have decided amongst our
selves not to give out any infor-
nation" was the milder reply of
several other jurymen. The purse
raised for Mrs. Kvalshaug by the
jury, and which amounted to $50,
was promoted by Ben Stegen, G..
e. Quinan and l. N. McCurdy, all
employees of the street railway
company. Juryman No. IL, j. e.
Montgomery, came through with
a personal contribution of five dol
lars. 1t is alleged that. .Montgom-
cry was at one time a floor man
ager for Pete Sandberg.
The Kvalshaug- -Newcomb case
begins with the meeting of
Charles Newcomb and Mrs. Kvals-
haug at dance in January, 1909.
They met and talked together
at other lodge dances later. In
the last part of February. accord
ing to the Newcomb confession.
they first met at a downtown no
tel in the afternoon while the
woman's husband was at work
and improper relations took
place.
Later they klet at the same
place again and once at Point
Defiance park.
At the meeting at the park, ac-
cording to the confession, Mrs.
Kvalshaug told Newcomb her
husband was getting onto their
game. Neweomb declared that
they then began to plan how to
get rid of Kvalshaug.
In the first part of May, at
another meeting at the hotel,
Newcomb says, they planned the
details of tn crime as they were
carried out.

FREAK RESTAURANTS.
Schemes to Attract Customers in
Search of New Sensations,

From V1t-bltS.
There is Cor was) in Berlin a GER
tain cafe where rudeness is the key
note Of the waiting staff. Every patron
who enters the restaurant is hustled
roughly into a seat, abruptly interro-
gated as to his wants and finally has
to submit to seeing his food thrust be
fore him with as little ceremony as
one might show to a stray dog
This cafe is, of course, one Of the
many freak restaurants which abound
on the continent. and the entire scheme
of rudeness is simply a device to at
tract customers in search Of a new
sensation. which they undoubtedly Sc
cure.
few years ago will probably remember
the amazing Convict cafe. where every
waiter was CARRIED like felon wearing
the hideous uniform OF the French con-
vict Chains handouts and other grim
relics decorated the walls of the extraor-
binary restaurant, and the plates or
which the food was served were model.
of prison dishes. The owner Of this freal
cafe no doubt amassed a considerable
fortune.
Paris is undoubtedly the parent Of weird
cafes Near the Boulevard Montmartrt
there stands the famous Cabaret de Mean,
Unn of Nothingness, Of Death). The en-
trance to the cafe Is through a small
opening in black shutter and once in
side the visitor is appalled, by the gloon
of the ROOM Lighted by pickering tapers
it's walls are hung with skeletons In vari-
Gus forms Of activity. Food and drink
are served in collins and the walters arc
CARRIED like undertakers' mutes.
More cheerful are the restaurants OF
the Isle Robinson, summer resort neal
Paris These restaurants are suspended
from the branches Of huge trees and amid
the leaves and branches of magnificent
oaks and beaches patrons eat their food
and sip their summer drinks. music be-
ing provided by special band Of feath-
cred musicians
A ''silent" cafe was inaugurated some
years ago in Paris probably to cater to
votaries OF the rest cure. Not word
was permitted to be spoken above a
whisper and even the orders to the stan
had to be given in writing. The strange
venture only enjoyed a brief life and
soon faded into still greater silence.

Water Power.
From Casters Magazine.


While the hydro electric source of pow

opment such is the number OF natural
sites available that no calculation can
be accurately made as to the extent to
which it will be installed throughout the
United States. for industries. illumination
and other purposes. We have fairly ac-
curate knowledge of the principal water
power sites through the investigation or
the geological survey and photographic
experts. 1t has been estimated by Prof.
W. c. Uuwin that the total avaliaoie
water power in the United states IS
more than 3OOO0,OOO horsepower. ana
that this can be increased to loO.UGUo
horsepower by storage reservoirs. 1t is
estimated that the difference in cost OF
steam power and water power Is $40 per
horsepower per year. at the minimum.
Thus the manufacturing regions OF the
southern states alone. which are oepeno-
ing on steam instead OF water power
would save $50. 0OO. 900 per year alone.
The development of the water power az
