Counsel for Carey, a Sitmey, driver, whose signed confession was read into the testimony Wednesday, pre@ented no preliminary statement. It in expect ed that Carey will repudiate his con- feasion. | Hagen, a former member of the | Seattle police force and exheavy Weight pugilist, took the stand in his own defense. flatly denied the statements of J. W. Locknane, who was indicted with the alleged booze ring. but who turned state's evi dence, incriminating his six supposed companions and stigmatizing Hagen as the leader of the outfit. He also declared that he was never at Joe |Mangini’s (“Italian Joe's”) place in the early hours following the booze robbery, March 29. Hagen «wore that on the night of March 29 he was playing cards from #:30 to 2:50 with Dick Russell and Jim Morrison, two of the men in dicted with himself, On Sunday night, March 30, the night of the second robbery, Hagen testified that he was with his wife. Mrs. Hagen, when put on the stand, substantiated her husband's story Hagen Is Sullen on the stand, was sullen fiant. He kept his eyes fixed window above the jury's and answered the cross-exam ination in a snarling manner. Dr, J. M. Osborne, who operated upon Dick Russell for appendicitis testified on the stand as to the weak ened condition of Russell on the night of March 29, It was the in tention of the defense to show by this testimony that Russell was in such condition that {t was highly improbable that he could have taken part in the robbery. Russell had previously testified that he spent the evening of the 29th playing cards with Hagen and Jim Morrison for 1 hours at his home. Lippmann, a juror, asked to ask the witness a the heads “Do gou think, doctor,” he queried: | “that a man in the condition of Ruw sell could play cards for five hours late at night?” A ripple of laughter ran over the} spectators, Morrison, a waiter, ant) Russell, an excop, took the stand Thursday noon in their own defense and testified that on the night of the |booze robbery they wer Joying a quiet little game of cards” with Ed |Hagen, said to be the directing in telligence of the gang, home | Their evidence was corroborated |by Russell's wife, motherin-law, two jstep-children and a boarder, Branding the testimony of Ji Mangini and J, W.
