The case went to the jury at 12:03) p. m. and the six jurors deliberated | only 15 minutes before bringing in @ verdict declaring that McDonald day afternoon {was driving at a high rate of speed nnd was intoxicated at the the crash. The youthful defendant refused to estify in hopes of balking the probe and in fear of incriminating himself, Deputy Prosecutor Bert Ross in formed him that anything he said | might be used against bim and after conferring With his clfent, Attorney {George Olsen said that McDonald would not take the stand. The testimony at Tuesday morn- time of |ing’s session was featured by stories of the wild booze party at the home of Emil Vintevoghel, 7319 Webster st., which preceded the fatal accident Vintevoghel was arrested by the sheriff Monday afternoon, following | a raid on his home, and is held in| the county jail. } FATHER ADMITS HE WAS AT BOOZE PARTY | Peter McDonald, 41, father of the! youthful death driver, admitted un-| |der the skiliful questioning of Deputy | cient on the Prosecutor Bert Ross and Coroner | W. H. Corson that he had taken his | son on the booze party and had seen | him..drink beer in the bootlegging joint on Webster st. He named the|t members of the party as himself, his | two sons, William, 16, and John, 1 and G. D. Williamson, William Mc- Mullan and a man named Riley. The father declared, however, that he had drank no moonshine himself, but took a few drinks of beer. The elder McDonald left the stand, and, as he passed William, patted his head affectionately. | The boy gave no sign that he | recognized his parent and sat staring at the jury. | John McDonald was. called and tes- tified that he saw his father take “a big drink” of gin from Williamson‘s bottle at Woodland park auto camp, where the party is staying, just be- fore they left to go to the bootleg- ging joint. John declared that his brother’ took several glasses of beer but did not see him drink anything else. VICTIM OF ACCIDENT STILL UNIDENTIFIED Williamson readily admitted pos. session of the nottle of gin, and said that he, McMullan, Riley and the | elder McDonald had drank the entire contents before leaving the park, and also admitted that there were two fist fights in the bootlegging joint between himself and Vintevoghel and and John Mce- Donald. ll of the testimony showed that the six members of the party had been drinking and were drunk. Williamson was so drunk that the younger McDonald boy was detailed to drive him home to the auto park, and it was on this trip that the wild race with the motorcycle officers and the accident occurred, the testimony showed. Meanwhile the body of the crash victim lies in. the morgue awaiting identification. The man was between | 30 and 35 years old, and is evidently carpenter or other laborer, He is of very fair complexion, with light hair and light brown eyes, The man | weighed about 150 pounds, was five feet nine inches tall, and was dressed in a black suit and tan shoes, His nose Js of slightly ‘‘Roman"’ forma. tion, There was nothing In his pock: ets by which he could be identified. at _the Postoffics at Seattle office follow. | | Orfental Wash, und SH., SI ATTLE, Member of Pre No ivonder W. / Jackson, is happy. .
