Closes Testimony After Five Hours Spent on Witness Stand FEDERAL COURT ROOTS GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 23.—After five hours on the witness stand in his trial on a charge, misuse of office, Sen. Burton Wheeler concluded his testimony today. He denied in detail allegation that he appeared before the department of interior in Washington for Gordon Campbell, Mecca oil operator. His testimony was concluded today with an hour of cross examination. After Wheeler left the station Judge Frank S. Dietrich declared an indefinite recess, until words received from prospective witnesses being summoned in the east. John L. Slattery, U. S. Dia At introduced a letter from Edwin Booth, solicitor of the interior department, dated June 16, 1925 when the name of George Hayea, star prosecution witness was involved. "Hayes would have rone thither with an effort to finance Campbell's company but they have to him they were dickering womeone else." Booth stated. "When the big oil company found that Hayes was going thither they would have made a deal." It is Booth's contention and a Wheeler's that no effort was made to involve Hayes in any deal owing then to obtain financial backing for Campbell. Wheeler denied that he mentioned the Phil McGowan oil permit to William Spry, commissioner of the land office, when Spry in Washington in May 1923. "Governor Spry is mistaken," Wheeler added. The only time he mentioned a permit to Booth was when he Booth that Campbell and the Standard Oil Co., of California agreed on some change in a permit which they intended to turn up with him. Wheeler said it did not charged that any such act was in violation of law, as there were no disputes over the perimeter and no matter pending regarding the permit before the departure. When Wheeler concluded Chelott Great Falls attorney, tested that Wheeler told him before going down to Washington 1923. "I can't represent Campbell before any government departments. He merely retained me by his cases in Montana court." After Holt had concluded, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, chief defense counsel, told the court defense was finished with theception of evidence concerning telephone call of Booth. Stanley Sharpe, 27, exavator and former sweetheart of the slain dressmaker., was grilled at length during the day. He claimed an alibi, but detectives said after the questioning that his statements were conflicting and that he would probably be formally accused of the crime. Lula Valdez, Mexican, another suspect, was also questioned, but according to officers, there was no evidence definitely linking him with the murder, and he will probably be released. The third arrest, according to information at the county prosecutor's office will strengthen the case against Sharpe. The latter claims he attended a dance on the night of the murder, but police say he has failed to establish a satisfactory alibi. LOS ANGELES, April 23.—The slaying of Mrs. Louise Unternahrer, 48, wealthy divorcee, continued to baffle investigators today, atho to suspects were under arrest in connection with the brutal crime.

Sharp, 27, who police said was a former sweetheart of the murdered woman, and Lowis Valdeg, 35, a Mexican, were jailed and charged with suspicion of murder pending further probe of the slaying. Sharpe was arrested at a hotel formerly occupied by Mrs. Unternahrer. The Mexican was arrested in the neighborhood of the slaying where he had attempted attacks on several small girls, according to police. Mrs. Unternahrer, according to papers found in her effects, was divorced in Boise, Idaho, in 1910, from Antonio Unternahrer. She was known here as the "women of mystery," and according to the police had lived at various residences in Culver City and Los Angeles under a variety of assumed names.

This evidence plus the fast that the woman's jewelry had not been taken from her leads authorities to believe the slaying was the work of a moron.
