CASE AGAINST wEsTLAKE BAR
BER UP TODAY AND PROVES
QUITE INTERESTING.

Is rhubarb wine, cordial or "Rhu-
barb," take your choice as the witnesses
do, super-laxative or drink containing
a sufficient per cent of alcohol to give
it good "kick' and make it much
sought after drink in dry territory ?
This is the question Judge Harris must
determine in the case of the State of
Idaho VS.. w. D. Storer, a citizen of
Westlake.
The state has produced at least two
witnesses who testify to having secured
a mighty comfortable jag on the drink
made from the plant; also, the state
has had chemical analysis made of
quencher by Prof. G. C. Todd, we'll
known chemist of the Washington State
College of Pullman. This analysis
shows that "Rhubarb,o laxative or
drunk producer, contains better than
case would bring it into the class of
bar favorites, better than Budweiser
beer but inferior to whiskey.
w. d. Storer, defendant, conducts a
barber shop and sells "peanuts, candy
chewing gum, sardines and lunch
goods' over at Westlake and inciden-
tally has built up brisk business on
the new drink that seems to be one OF
the principal articles when it comes to
getting the change of the male element
of that section into the cash box.
He was arrested on October 81, the
charge being selling Intoxicating
liquors in a prohibition territory.
The state spent most of the morning
putting in evidence and seems to have
made pretty good showing. This af
ternoon the defense had its inning and
introduced o number of witnesses who
admitted drinking the cordial" as the
counsel for the defendant, Judge Scales

TAKE ANOTHER TACK
IN COLBERT MURDER
Detectives Now Think That There Was
at Least One Eye Witness to Staying
Of Stocking Model-Diserepaneies in
Time Enter Into Theory.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1o.-Detectives
working to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the murder in her apartments
here Of Maize Colbert. the advertising
art model, advanced the theory today
that one person, and possibly two, be-
sides the girl and her slayer, were In
the room when the crime was commit
ted. D 49,
While they still adhere to their belief
that Bernard W. Lewis, of Pittsburgh,
who committed suicide in Atlantic City
last Thursday might. beat Miss Col.
bert and later strargled her to death
with silk stocking, the police say that
discrepancies as to the time the model
was last known to be alive and the
time Lewis was seen in haber-
dashery, have led to the supposition
that there was at least one eye witness
to the murder. No explanation, how
ever, as to how these discrepancies
in time figure in the theory that others
were present, was forthcoming.
It is also stated that the latest evil
dence got by the police leads them to
believe the crime was committed sew
eral hours earlier than heretofore sup
posed. The girls body was found late
on the night Of Dec. 80, and the suppo-
sition was that she had been killed the
night before. The detectives now think
she met her death around noon, or
maybe earlier, on Dec. 29.
Another theory that is again engag-
ing the attention Of the detectives Is
that blackmail was the motive for the
crime. Captain Tate says he had
learned the details Of a blackmailing
plot carried out In the city a year ago
by men acquainted with Miss Colbert.
He and District Attorney Rotan "a
tain Tate said, were Investigating the
alleged plot to see if 1t had any con-
nection with the Colbert mystery. The
victim Of the plot he added, lives in
town up state, and has been summon
ed to the city hall

liter. who was found guilty this morn
ing of manslaughter in connection with
the death of Miss Elizabeth Ratcliffe
last July, was sentenced by Judge Mill
ler today to life Imprisonment.
Olney, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-The jury in the
case of Roy Hinterliter, charged with
the murder of his sweetheart, MISS
Elizabeth Ratcliffs, brought in YER
dict of manslaughter at AIS this morn
ing, after having reported three times
for instructions The penalty for this
is a sentence Of from one year to

Hinterliter confessed on the witness
stand that the girls death occurred
last July during an attempt at an il
legal operation. wh driving IN a
bnggy with him and AAid she had used
the surgical Instruments supplied by
him while he was not with her. He
claimed the girl employed the instru-
ments while he went to unhitch his
horse, tied thirty feet away He said
when he came back to the girl she was
unconscious. He believed she had
tainted but he was unable to revive
her. He placed her in the buggy and
drove to a hospital at Olney, where a
doctor found the girl was dead. The
state contended that the death OF the
girl was caused by air bubbles forced
into her veins for the purpose of re-
lieving her conditions.
The jury was instructed to find Hin
terliter guilty if it was found that ne
was only an accessory to the abortion.
On the stand Hinterliter confessed that
he gave the girl the instruments, sug-
gested their use, and was away from
her side about two minutes, during

bring in one of three forms of verdict.

life Imprisonment. or prison term not
less than fourteen years. A second
form might be for manslaughter, Dear
ing an indeterminate sentence OF from
two to fourteen years, and the third
might be mot guilty.
The argument was opened by Prose-
cutor Lynch. He said Hinterllter dld
not 90 in daylight to see the girl. He
waited until dusk, taking with him the
four weapons with which to end in
some way the dangers that threatened
him from the girls condition.
"The three doctors present at the
autopsy swore that the cause of death
was air embolism." he said. Passing
to the orchard scene. Mr. Lynch de-
clared Hinterliter approached the truth
in his story, but he failed to tell the
truth when he said Elizabeth used the
surgical instrument.
"He lied" Mr.. Lynch declared. HE
used it himself"
other references to Hinterliter as
"that slick and Shiny young man were
obiected to but the objection was over
ruled.
ut may be asked Of you to show
mercy to this young man. Mr.. Lynch
said. But do you suppose the men,
ory of Elizabeth is pleading for mercy
for him? No. the spirit of Elizabeth is
lowering around this court room at this
momenet and is not appealing for
mercy"
