GIRL DESCRIBES
NIGHT SPENT IN
THE VICE SHACK
Miss Jean Stanley Tells a
Narrowing Story of At
tackS Made on Herself
and Her Chum in Frisco.
(By The Associated Press)

San francisco, CANT, Dec. L.
Miss Jean Stanley, formerly or
Portland, Ore, told jury trying
Edmond Murphy here today of at
lacks on herself and on Miss Jessie
Montgomery, of Reno, New, which
indirectly have caused the killings
of six men and have aroused pub
lie sentiment here to u high pitch.
Murphy is the first of five al
legged gansters accused of the at
lacks to go to trial.
Much of Miss Stanley's testimony
was devoted TO the efforts she
made to protect Miss Montgomery
from Murphy and the others. Be-
sides the four men held here, Miss
Stanley said George Boyd, lynched
with two others at Santa Rosa,
Calf, as a result of the killings Of
three peace officers, had partici-
pated in the attacks.
Elaborate plans to protect Muir
ply and his companions from mob
violence again were maintained to-
day Chinese boys who set off a
string of fire crackers in the street
near the hall of justice late today
caused u furry of excitement and
a suspension for q few moments
of the girls testimony. ......
Miss Stanley, a slight girl of at
tractive appearance, answered the
questions propounded slowly and
deliberately. Her tears and per-
suasions, she said, resulted in her
being spared from the most shame
full of the indignities she said were
inflicted on Miss Montgomery.
Her description of the night of
horror in the vice shacks' where
the attacks occurred of her es-
cape and subsequent return with
the police, and OF the condition of
Miss Montgomery, was narrowing
