MRS. WESTMAN
CHARGED WITH
MURDER
OFFICERS CANNOT EXPLAIN
MYSTERY OF DEATH OF
CARL WESTMAN - WIFE
MUSI ANSWER.

PORT ORCHARD, June TO-
Although exonerated by IA cOrOn-
er's jury several weeks ago from
any connection with the murder
16f her husband, a watchman in
the shipyards at Winsiow, Eagle
Harbor, Mrs. Carl Axel Westman,
arrested last Friday on murder
charges, was today removed to the
King county Jail awaiting trial.
She was placed under $4,000
bonds yesterday, following her
plea of not guilty before Judge
French at Port Orchard.
The grewsome crime and later
developments have caused a mys-
terry that has left Burns detectives
and local officers in despair.
Westman had become estranged
with his wife because of her al
legged attentions towards Peter
Bourbeau, or Bow, as he was
known. Mrs. Bourbeau has come
forward with an alibi for Mrs.
Westman, proving her where
abouts at the time of the crime.
BourDeau disappeared some time
before the murder. Mrs. Bour-
beau is held under $500 ap-
pearance bond, to testify at the
trial.
Westman was murdered on the
night of April 81, while on his
way home from the shipyards.
Officers declared that woman
had committed the crime, but
Deputy Sheriff Shattuck, who in
vestigated the case, asserted his
confidence that Mrs. Westnan had
nothing to do with 1T. Neighbors
have caused Mrs. Westman's Sec
ond arrest, after raising funds to
hire Burns detectives to investi-
gate the case.
