ONE MURDERER rs
IDENTIFIED TWICE
EUGENE BARNETT IDENTIFIED
BY TWO PERSONS AS MAN
WHO FIRED SHOTS

MONTESANO.-( A. P.)-Eu-
gene Barnett, one of the IL defend
ants on trial here charged with muir
der in connection with the Centralia
,shootings on armistice day, was again
positively identified today as the man
who was shooting from the window
of the Avalon hotel at the marching
American Legion members.
Clarence Watkins, color bearer in
the parade, testified today that he is
positive Barnett is the man he saw
shooting from the hotel.
Was Identified Yesterday.
MONTESANO, Friday Night.-Re-
minded that the life of at least one
man depended upon her statement,
and that she was under oath to tell
the truth, Miss Elsie Hornbeck, book
keeper, of Centralia, dramatically
identified Eugene Barnett, one of the
II alleged I. w. w. on trial here for
the murder of Warren o. Grimm,
armistice day parade victim, as the
man whom she had seen standing in
before Captain Grimm fell, mortally
proceeded on the witness stand by her
ducts garage directly across the
street from the Avalon.
Mr.. Carpenter had testified that he,
his partner, w. H. Mcdowell, Miss
Hornbeck and one or two others
watched the armistice day parade
from the garage window. They had
heard shooting, he said, when sud-
denly Mr.. Mcdowell exclaimed:
Look, look, for Gods sake Al,
look! See that gun!"
Saw Death-Dealmg Rifle.
Mr.. Carpenter said he looked, his
eye alighting upon the south up
stairs window of the Avalon. He
saw, he testified, the barrel of a
rifle protruding from the window;
saw the left hand of a man holding
the rifle barrel, then saw the flash
of the shot and heard the report.
He did not know the result of the
bullet, he said. He saw a man IN
uniform pass the garage, blood COM
ing from a wound in the arm, just
before the shot was fired from the
Avalon, he testified.
Miss Hornbeck did not see the shot
fired from the Avalon window, she
said. She described the man she saw
in the window as being slender and
having dark hair, close clinging to
the scalp.
Identifies Eugene Barnett
Asked to look over the row of de-
PENDANTS to see if she could find a
man resembling the man she saw,
Miss Hornbeck looked first at the
center of the long bench, then her
eyes moved to the left until they
located Barnett, at the extreme left
end. She studied nearly two min
ntes-then pointed him out. She be-
came more positive in her identifi-
cation when Barnett stood up.
Miss Hornbeck also testified she |
saw another man in the north win
dow, but she could not describe his I!
Miss Hornbecks' declaration that |
Barnett was the man she saw in the
south window was made on cross
examination. Every effort was made |
to shake her testimony. She met |
every question of the defense with |
a decisive reply.
Four Implicate Barnett
Miss Hornbeck was the fourth wit
ness to offer testimony today which
implicated Barnett in the shooting of |
Captain Grimm. T. C. Morgan, who |
was in the /. W. w. hall at the time
Of the shooting, said Barnett had left

street have been considered the bull

1t was rumored some time ago that
Mrs. Vanderbilt, widow of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. had given an option on her
home, but the fact it has never been
exercised is accepted as proof the re-
port was not true.

Extraordinary Grand Jury, which has
been investigating the prosecutors Of
flee for many months, on charges al
leging the compounding of felony
and conspiring to compound a felony.
The charges are an outgrowth of
suits brought in October, 1919, by Mrs,
Helene Montrose Bourasse to have her
marriage to Napoleon Arthur Bou-
rasse. stock broker, annulled.
Two other persons were named in
the indictment beside Mr.. Kilroe. One
of them was Louis f. Swarts, a law
yer of 4S5 Fifth avenue, who was at
torney for Mrs. Bourasse in the ac-
tions. The third persons name was
not made public, but bench warrant

MY conscience is clear" Mr.. Kilroe
said after the arraignment. 'T did my
duty and could not have done other
wise."
In -har vsxS
that Mr.. Bourassc was already married
when he married her. Further investi-
cations made by Mr.. Kilroe, II Is said,

cution of a bigamy charge against wife

Mrs Bourasse for back alimony and
counsel fees" Mr. Kilroe asserts 1t Is
a matter OF public record that Bourasse
paid Mrs. Bourasse No. $4,000. The
indictment alleges this payment was
made by agreement to delay and discon-
tInue further prosecution.
Nelson Olcott. former Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, who appeared as counsel
for Mr.. Kilroe. said at is an outrage be-
cause K appears from the indictment that
Mr. Kilroe received no money and is
guilty Of no corruption" The indictment
states. the lawyer said. that Mr.. Kilroe,
both as a lawyer and Assistant District
Attorney. acted in accordance with his
duty in refusiog TO prosecute 'for the
reason that 1t was predicated upon a sec

Washington, ID. C., Nov. II.
The Internal Revenue Buyeau OF the
Treasury Department is expecting a
Treasury decision under the volstead
act which is designed to stop the sale
Of malt, malt extracts. hops, various
tablets and other preparations used in
making home brew.
Sale OF many of these products as
the basis or for use as ingredients in
making beer In the. home already has
been ordered stopped under instruc-
tions to prohibition enforcement Of
ficers from Director Kramer. The va
lidity of the action has been attacked
by those making and selling the prod
ucts affected and Treasury decision
is In contemplation. 1t has been held
up for some time. however.
Some officials here hold that the sale
Of any preparation for home beer maxi
ing Is In violation of the law. but the
strict provisions OF the act covering the
making of beverages from cereals never
have been called into full play before.
Section 81 of the act provides the
cereal beverages may be made only In
registered breweries. The section was
designed to cover the making of deal
coholized brews or near beers, limiting
Use OF cereals to registered breweries so
that check readily could be kept upon
alcohol content and uses
1t was pointed out to-day that 10 the
provisions of the act are followed out
10 the fullest extent the making of any
beverage from cereals except I'm regis
tered breweries can be stopped so far as
Is possible. The section covering the use
of cereals does not go into alcoholic con-
tent.
Treasury rulings under Section % OF
the act covering home beverages permit
the use OF fruit juices and cider for bev-
erage purposes without strict accounting
OF alcoholic content unless the resulting
product is sold or disposed of.
II was intimated from an unofficial
source to-day that the brewers who are
makers OF near beer are behind the new
ruling for the reason that their product
has not been able to compete with home
brews In the matter of "klck."
