KRAUSE CASE
 DEVELOPS A
 NEW PROBLEM

Judge Jennings this morning over ruled sne objections of tho attorneys for the defense in the Krause case in their motion to prevent the intro- duction of the evidence contained In the deposition regarding the hand writing of Edward Krause- In mak- Ing his ruling Judge Jennings cited several cases in point and ruled that the government was trying to prove that Krause signed the name of William Christie to the note left on the doorstep of Christie's home and which was found early the morning after his disappearance by Mrs. Chris tie.
 The government mas proven that the note was not signed by Christie but that the signature was drawn on the note by some other person, and arc attempting to prove that the characteristics in the forged signa- ture are the same as those in the signature and writing of Edward Krause. The deposition contains the original signature card of Edward Krause with the Dexter Horton Bank at Seattle and also letters written to the bank by Krause.
 Capt. George +. Whitney was placed on the stand this morning and identified the signature of Krause on the records in his office. Deputy Marshal Martin Kndall was on the stand thls afternoon and testified that he had seen Krause write two sigma lures on documents which have been introduced as evidence. The defense scored a point when Judge Jennings ruled in favor of the defense on their objections to Kildan testifying as to the handwriting of Krause, contend ing that he was not qualified to know the true signature of Krause.
 It is expected that the evidence for the prosecution will all be in by tomorrow noon and that the defense will have its inning. It is not known yet whether they will introduce any evidence or not
