If so, he will be called as the last witness, his attorney sald at noon Mrs. Nora Mahoney, the de- fendant’s mother, Mrs. Dolores Johnson, his sister, and his 12- year-old niece, Margaret John: son, will be defense witnesses, counsel sald. DIVER FIRST WITNESS CALLED BY DEFENSE Frank Mapes was the first witness called by the defense. As a diver ltor Finch & Co, he testified he lsearched the bottom of Lake Union ltor the mystery trunk beginning May 28, elght hours a day for 28 days. Part of the time he worked Jat the end of a 60-foot rope and part the time off a seasied. He naid jthe water was clear enough for him to nee 10 feet. Another crew of divers, part of them police officers, was working at the same time, he enld. On cross-examination the witness admitted that some of the time it was impossible for him to see more than two or three feet under the water, He was unable to say whether he had ever searched that area where the trunk was finally found. He admitted he might have missed a trunk altogether if it had been lying on the bottom of the lake Another diver, Henry Finch, fr, testified as the second defense wit ness that he searched the lake bot tom from May 2% to June 24, by the same methods used by Mapes, and found no trunk, e Hig cross-examination brought out that the water was so dirty, he walked tn tooped position. In this position, he said, he would have been more likely to miss a trunk that was suspended in the water than one ly- ing on the bottom. He said he had found two electric transformers in the lake that he had been searching for once before. These transform ers were about the size of a trunk. He admitted he could not guarantee to find an object the size of a trunk on the lake bottom by the methods used. He said, however, that if a trunk were suspended by a line reaching be likely to become entangled with the trunk line. MAHONEY DEFENSE PROBABLY WILL BE ALIBI An alibl fs Mahoney's probable defense.

Callahan, president of the Wash ington Fertilizer Co., in the Hoge building, from 4 girl he had never |known in St, Paul, Miss Lucille Ernater. ‘The letter eald tn part “I suppose you wonder why I'm writing. I have no one to step with. If you were here we would sure have one H— of a time. With love from La- elle Ernster.” It was then shown by Capt. of | Detectives Tennant that a sheet of paper had been found tn Ma honey’s possession after his arrest on which was written: “Mise Lucille Ernster, 9065 Minneapolis: I am sorry I left the St. without see ing you again. Write or wire me at 409 Denny Way your present address, J. E. Ma Mahoney, Tennant sald, told him that he had written the message intending to wire it to Mise Ern- ster, whom he and Mra. Kate Ma honey had met in St. Paul and had taken to the theatre. Inasmuch as Mahoney was known to have been handing cards of the Washington Fertilizer Co., quite in- discriminately about during his visit in Minnesota, the state inferred that one of these cards, with the name of Callahan on tt as president, had fallen into the hands of Miss Ernater and that she, assuming the man who had given ft to her Callahan and not written the letter to tending it for Mahoney. The letter and unsent telegram were introduced as evidence by the |etate as tending further to show | that M Mahoney was not with her husband when he was in 8t Paul. Johnston objected strenu- | ously to their being put in evidence, jon the ground that they were brought forth by the state merely to prejudice the fury against the N. value to the state in proving the | charge of murder. | Capt. Tennant was called to the | stand as the state's last witness late | yesterday afternoon, He explained, step by step, how he had gathered the evidence that en meshed Mahoney. The crowd tn the courtroom leaned forward to catch every word of the Getective. Mahon face wore a | worried expression. Tennant sald Mahoney had told him a certain letter received by W. D. Perkins & 80, Mrs. Ma- honey’s bankers here, had been dictated by Mrs. honey to a stenographer in Paul and turned over to him to mail, This letter had been previously identified by the stenographer from the St, Frances hotel, St. Paul, as one the defendant him. | self had dictated and she had | typed. The stenographer sald she did not see Mrs. Mahoney in | St. Paul. Tennant identified jewelry found in Mahoney's pockets when ho was arrested, This jewelry, Mahoney said, had been given him by his wife in St. Paul to bring back with him, Ten- MISS BRIGHT, 1604 rourt Clase for onty oe every Tuesday. day.
