Per Year, by Mall, $5 to $9 TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE IS ASHEN: CASE TO JURY TONIGHT By Hal Armstrong With the hour approaching that is to decide whether James E. Mahoney shall go to the gallows, Mrs. Dolores Johnson sat beside her accused brother in Judge J. T. Ronald’s courtroom today and bitterly wept. Deputy Prosecutor T. H. Patterson had just closed his argument to the jury with these words: “This is a serious matter. - “T say to you, bring in a verdict finding James E. Mahoney bw Aa murder in the first degree. And shall punishment be lea es.” , Mahoney’s face was ashen. For a moment he ceased his gum chewing and tried to smile, but the smile was denied him. af Defense Attorney L. B. Schwellenbach came to his feet, and, facing the jury, mee “ne het a mam * * sate absolutely with one of the statements the statée’sattorney-has just made—that this is a serious matter.
