MRS. werner HEARS MURDER
CONFESSION READ IN COURT

Sensation seekers struggled for
places OF vantage today in Judge
Mackintosh's court room, when Mrs.
Magdalina Werner took the stand
in her trial for the murder of her
husband at Issquah.
Her three attorneys lost in a
vivid legal battle when the court
ruled that her alleged confession
could be read to the jury.
The defense sought to show that
the purported admission of knowl-
edge OF the crime was obtained
after officials had promised Mrs.
Werner her liberty from the county
Jail.
Confession 10 Read
The state won a telling victory
when Assistant Prosecutor Edgar J.
Wright read the document In open
court
Mrs Werner was composed as
she took the stand. She said she
could remember nothing until a
week or two after her arrest. when
she came to her senses in the jail.
II don't remember signing any
paper at all | came to In Jail and
didn't realize where was" she
said.
Promised She'd Be Out
Some time after that. Deputy
Sheriff Roberts saw me and said:
You come out and tell me what
you know about this. We're vast
ing lot of money looking for the
murderer. If you come out and tell
the truth. you'll be out of here In
five days. If you don't, you may
be In here a year.
The defense claimed this alleged
a promise.
Their contention failed to hold be-
fore the court in the struggle to
keep the paper from the jury
Found Husband Dead
In the purported confession, as
read TO the jury, Mrs. Werner is
declared to have admitted meet
ing with Frank Piconi, charged
Jointly In the crime, in which he
asked 500 to do away with Wer-
ner. Part of 1t reads:
"When | got down to the
stable, Frank was down by the
fence. His hands were all
bloody, and there was blood on
his coat. went into the
stable and my husband was
dead. He was lying Just as he
was found"

Can II be the love and kindness
which she says she received in q
lonely jail cell after she had craved
IL all her life?
Shortly after the murder, the day
of her husbands funeral in Issa-
quah, when people of the country
places flocked into the town. she
sat crouched, half fainting in an un-
comfortable chair in the kitchen OF
her ranch home, creature OF abb
ject terror.
IL was a raw. chilly, disagreeableS
day. The stiffness of the ranch
and the home seemed uncanny.
Loved Her Babies
A slow fire smoked gloomily in
the stove.
Three little children hung back.
frightened at the sight of the stran-
gers and the mother who moaned
incoherently.
A newspaperman stood abashed,
regretting his intrusion at a time
when questions seem harsh and
useless.
But even al that time she
talked Of love.
my poor babiesl- she
moaned. ~ love them so.
What will become of them now?
Nothing can ever be right
again."
When she arrived at the county
Jail she was the same distrustful
creature who resented the intrusion
of strange officials into her home.
She had never been loved. she
said. She believed every one was
against her
The matrons at the county jail,
three kindly women. cared for her.
The change began to work. And
one day she talked--really talked
Ito reporter.
"ln all my married life. since I
was 16, the only love ! have known
Is the love for my children" she
said. :" LoNGD FOR LOVE ALL
MY LIFE AND I DIDN'T GET IT.
II was hard life to live"
Then came the weeks of waiting
for trial Women who at times
spend a few of their hours In the
iail saying pleasant words to suf-
fering humans. stopped to talk
with her II was 2 new experience.
She had been ILL., but she recov-
cred. The pallor left her face. She
gained 40 pounds in weight. She
cheerfil and smiles and talks
with people.
Such is the woman the state has
placed on trial.

A California Phenomenon

1t is very long distance from Cor
ira Costa to the District of Columbia.
The California Coxey-whose name is
Kelly-will have to surmount MANY
difficulties before he brings his hobo
army of 1000 to the steps of the cap
itol. But he is a dauntless leader, and
just at present things seem to be work.
ing his way.
The California counties are so eager
to get rid of Kelly's .tramps that they
are shifting them on at the expense Of
first ?class railroad fare. One county
sends the army to the county next east.
The receiving county ships them to it,,
eastern neighbor. And so the army
progresses across California without
even marching.
Soon they will be in the Sierras, and
beyond them will lie the deserts of Ne
vada. Then Gen" Kellys troubles
will begin in earnest.
If Kelly ever manages to get as far
as Denver he may succeed in reaching
Washington. If he does get to Wash
ington he will accomplish nothing. His
army, according to California author
tiles, is mainly composed of profession
al Migrants, men whose protest is
V holly negligible.
Kelly's army is not a national symD-
tom. 1t is merely a California potent.
But just at present Kelly and his SOL
diers are having plenty Of fun and
plenty of feed.

Charles Stelzie Fduors Palmer
Owen'BH

The February Bulletin of the Ma
tional Child Labor committee deals
with the Tenth annual conference of
the committee in New Orleans, March
1918 and the federal child labor bill.
owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary
of the committee gives his opinions
on the Palmer-Owen bill now before
the senate. Since the bill is provok-
ing heated discussion, Mr.. Lovejoy
publishes a report sent to the trustees
of the National Child Labor commit
tee, citing and refuting objections to
the bill
In regard to one of these objects,
Mr.. Charles Stelzle said the other
day: when men come back with
the statement that If you don't allow
us to employ children we can't run
our enterprise because We cannot pay
an adults wages, l always want to re-
ply that industries that cannot pay a
living wage have no right to live Chill
dren are more important than canned
goods. If it is necessary to can chill
dren in order to can fruits, better
go out of the canning business alto
gether 1t seems to me that the only
way to cover such national questions
as white slavery and child labor is by
federal law. This is especially true
of child labor, because it directly af-
fects so many industries in various
parts of the country. The question
ought not to be one Of convenience to
industry, but simply of that which is
best for children But a federal law
would protect the children aud at the
same time be more just to all employ
ers."

400 miIes-a snow blockade for a week
would inf1ict loss of life and property
only to be compared with the evil
wrought by a plague in a city of the
backward East. A serious impediment
on the highways of the land would pat
New York in a state of siege just as
the closing of the seaways would
starye England.
Is not that civilization helpless
which is endangered by the inability
of England to maintain a feet dispro-
portionate to her wealth? Is not law
and order helpless when it may be set
aside by conspirators at home and
bandits on the border? Has not sci
ence failed to do it's full duty when it
leaves a great city at the mercy of z
change of weather? Is not morality
weak when it is disgraced by whole
sale graft and public corruption? Who
are these modern theorists who have
left us helpless against the onslaught
of destructive forcesc born Of the prim-
tive passions we have tried so long to
legislate and instruct out of existence?
Are all the constructive forces of mod
ern civilization, craftsmanship, moral

their inefficiency when the time of
