OLYMPIA, Jan. 22.-The con-
fession made to Gov. Lister and
Attorney General Tanner by
Frank w. Stone, arrested in con-
nection with the footing of state
Industrial insurance commission
funds. halted the trial of John F.
Gillies, former claim agent, today
while Assistant Attorney General
Wilson asked the court that he be
allowed to endorse Stone as a
state witness In the forgery
charges against Gillies.
Stones confession last night
admitting the forging of state ac-
cident claims, came as a rough
blow to the defense.
Gillies' attorney Immediately
objected to allowing Stone to be
q witness for the prosecution,
claiming he should have been en-
dorsed by the state before the
trial began.
Judge Mitchell ruled that the
state must file an affidavit show
ing that Stone is a material wit
ness in the case, and the trial was
postponed until Monday to allow
the attorney generals office to
draw the papers.
The man who is glid to have
been responsible for Stones con-
fession Is a mysterious stranger

BROTHERS
WIFE CAUSE
OF ARREST

Elmer Jesse, age %, arrested
on charges filed by his brothers
wife, Mrs. Cora Jesse, 5022 South
L street, entered a plea of not
guilty to burglary in police court
today. He will be tried next
week.
According to the story told to
Judge Evans, Jesse's arrest re-
suited from his attentions to a
pretty 1S-year-old niece. The
alleged burglary occurred August
25. Since that time his attentions
have become more and more OBJ
jectionable to the girl.
On the night when the crime
was said to have occurred Mrs.
Jesse's two daughters were alone,
and a friend, Billy Burroughs, had
been induced to sleep down stairs
as protection for them.
Jesse forced his way into the
house, 1t is charged, saw Bur-
roughs asleep, and grabbing the
latter's trousers, started upstairs
to the girls room. The young
man downstairs dared not fol-
low because of his lack of ade-
quate clothing. After several
minutes he managed to tie a blan-
ket and rushed to the rescue of
the girls. Jesse was thrown out
of the house.
