SEATTLE, June 30. (AP).—Prosecuting Attorney
Colvin said today: “I have at least obtained the missing
links in the evidence that convinces me Gaines killed his
daughter.”
One of the links is the report that Lukes, a detective,
said he found blood stains on Gaines’ clothing. In an
other statement, Louis Stern said: “Gaines came to my
house the night Sylvia was murdered. He told me to hur
ry up and for God’s sake to give him a drink. I asked him
what was the hurry. He said, “If you’d been thru what
I went through just now, you’d want a drink in a hurry
too.’ I said, for God’s sake, what has happened, and he
said: ‘You remember I always told you I’d be the master
in my house, and that if anyone tried to tell me what to
do, where and when to go and come, I’d kill ’em.’ Gaines
then threw his arms about me with tears in his eyes, ex
claiming: ‘That’s just what’s happened’.”
Gaines will be arraigned in the Superior Court here
on Friday.
Prosecuting Attorney Colvin said the reconstruction
of the crime argument is of a more serious nature. Gaines
admitted what occured in their home at 8 o’clock, when
the girl left in a grip of fear and disgust for friends, who
lived about three miles away. Gaines left a half hour
later. He knew or suspected his daughter’s destination,
and saw Sylvia on the lake side path. He then drove to
a point on the street, near the path, which nearly inter
sects and dashed across the path and intercepted her.
SEATTLE, June 29. (/P)—Wallace
“Bob” Gaines was arrested and charg
ed with first degree murder by Sheriff
Matt Starwich, who had already gone
to Gaines’ home, but waited for the
warrant for the arrest of Gaines. Ro
bert McFarlane, counsel for Gaines,
said: “The sheriff told me there would
be an arrest in a little while. That's
all right with me, I replied, but we
are going to have a showdown on this
thing in the open court.”
William Gaines, over a telephone
said: “Starwich is here to arrested my
brother. He has no warrant and I
told him I believed he should have
one. He is waiting for deputies to
come with a warrant.”
>
After the inquest was resumed, fol
lowing the recess, Prosecuting Attor
ney Colvin asked that it be adjourned.
Applause greeted the declaration of
McFarlane that adjournment was “un
American and unfair.”
Colvin shouted: “I’m not holding a
mass meeting for the rabble to ap
plaud.” Colvin then strode out of the
door and shouted, “I’m now going to
act.”
Colvin, a half hour after the inquest
opened, conferred with Sheriff Star
wich. Coroner Jones dashed out and
told the newspaper men to “watch this
court room.”
McFarlane said: “They are not go
ing to get away with delaying this
thing until after the September pri
maries. They are going to bring
Gaines to trial immediately if I have
anything to say.”
Eight-grade pupils can now receive
their certificates, it is announced by
Mr. Morford, the certificates having
arrived from Juneau in the last mail.
