FIGHTER KILLED IN HOTEL ROOM; WOMAN INVOLVED
   Johnny Hansen Trapped By Common-Law Mate of Companion --  Portland (UP)

   A warrant charging Jack Kentworth, 25, prize fighter and ex-convict, with the murder of Johnny Hansen, popular Portland fighter, was issued today by Municipal Judge H. M. Tomlinson.
   Kentworth shot and killed Hansen, the complaint alleges, when he found Hansen in a hotel room with Peggy Norman, with whom Kentworth had lived as man and wife for several months, prior to two weeks ago.
   Kentworth fled from the hotel after shooting Hansen and taking one shot at Miss Norman, and had not been captured late today.
   Miss Norman and R. J. Stow, who also witnessed the shooting, were held as material witnesses.
   Stow revealed to police that Hansen and Kentworth were drinking together at least twice during the night after Hansen had won a boxing match from Nels Ferguson of Calgary by a technical knockout before nearly 5,000 persons at the Municipal auditorium a few hours previously.
   Stow said that both Hansen and Kentworth were guests at a party given by Ace Baker, Hansen’s manager, at which several drinks were taken by both.
   At 4:30 a.m. Stow and Kentworth, according to Stow’s story, returned to his (Stow’s) room in the same hotel and later Hansen arrived at the room and they all had two more drinks. Hansen left, Stow said, and he and Kentworth decided to go to Miss Norman’s room to get more drinks.
   There he said, they found Hansen and the shooting followed. He admitted that he did not attempt to stop Kentworth when the latter fled from the hotel.

LIQUOR CHARGES FACED BY LOCAL TRIO
State, County Officers Cooperate: Supply of Whiskey Seized.

   Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Haynes and W. H. Woodard, all of The Dalles, were at liberty today on their own recognizance following their arrest about 7:30 last night near Rowena (OR.) on charges of possession of intoxicating liquor.
   The arrest was effected through the co-
operation of the various law enforcement agencies with State Police Officer Guy D. Watkinds and Deputy Sheriff Eugene Wright making the actual arrest. Haynes was driving the automobile.
   Officers found in the back of the light coupe five one-gallon jugs of moonshine whiskey, they said. The car was headed toward The Dalles and officers believe that the liquor was intended either for distribution through retail channels here or in Pendleton. It is believed to have come from Portland.
   All three of the persons in the car were charged in a complaint signed in the justice court today with possession of the liquor. No time had been set for the trial. The car was being held in lieu of bail for the trio. Deputy Sheriff Wright signed the complaint.
