Tosdlmony or 2 8 Wllnmsvc Heard In Action to Set Aside Transfer r Winter"' IjiihI. Taking of testimony In the case of Agne Hut:, administratrix of the e-. tate of II. l. Winter, asainst YA 111 K. l'urdv an action to set aside a deed to valuable Orand-a venue property, on the ground that It was never executed by Winters, came to an end In Judge McO nn1 court yesterday. The Judge announced that he would take the case under advisement. In all S witnesses were called. M. I Tratt. a woman notary and sten ographer, who wa one of the witnesses to the document In controversy and who ncknuwledk-ed It. and J. S. Wlegle. the other witnee to the deed, were on the stand yesterday. C. M. Idleman vigorously cross-examined Miss I'ratt. who was employed In a real etate of fice which I'urdy oinrated In Portland at the tme the deed wa executed, rel ative to the disappearance at that time of Madden H. Kvan. then a part ner of Pur.lv. Kvans Is now believed to l a I" Kansas He Introduced as evidence the files of a dally newspaper ahlcn carried several articles about the disappearance. In these articles fre.iuent mention ws made of the al leged forgery of a deed. Mis Pratt admitted having heard considerable about a forged deed, but contended that she had been led to be lieve that the document in .juestlon had corveyed all of Winters" property to some person whose name she never heard mentioned, therefore It could not be the document Involved In the pres ent controversy. Mr. Idleman sought to convey to the court the Impression that the document now in question mav have been the alleged forged deed, it having been executed In May. lv. about the same time as the trou ble over a deed. This other deed seems, riowrver. to be swathed In mys tery. The only direct testimony re garding It Is that of Mrs. 1-aura Max field, former housekeeper for Winters, w ho Said that she had heard Evans tell Winters that Pur.ly had forged a deed for h's (Winters'! property. Attorney Idleman proceeded through out the case on the theory that Win ters was Induced In some way to sign his name without knowing for what his s'gnature was t be used. Judge oTay. appearing for I'urdy.' called several witnesses. Among them were Mavor Woolwar:. of Huttevllle. and L. S. Wlntera. of Portland, si i i latlon to the dead man. whose property 1 In dispute. It was sought by the w It neea to prove that Winters had fre quently . made references to deeding property to Purdy or Iks Intention to do so. Attorney Idleman made vigorous play on Purdy's action In keeping the deed burled on "t.ls farm for more than two years and producing It for Uie purpose of putting It on record only after the death of Winters. He Inti mated that this was a rather strange procedure. I'urdy has declared that be had such -an rrangement with Winters. , . ..... ?

Never before have I seen an officer of the state ask ing the defense to take a Juror who has sworn that he has held an opinion for months as to the defendant's Built or Innocence and that It would take strona; evidence to remove that opin ion." " Talk of Appeal Be ami a. The Legislature, -tn enactlnR the penal code." added Farrow, "perhaps thotisht to take away some of the safeguards that surround life." and. he remarked. "1 presume we could con vince the state's attorney here. If we wet proof enough. " He intimated that a rulinft adverse to the contention resrardln Nelson would be considered arround for appeal and It was upon this point that Horton. In bis address, reassured the court. ' "No court of 'appeal." he said, "would ever undertake o . Investigate such a case unless there was srreat " "1 don't think the court cares to consider the action of a court of re view." Interrupted Judge Bordwell. and all counsel seemed to agree. The question that precipitated the les;al discussion was asked of Nelson at the opening of court, being a repe tition of the 'question asked Wednes day. It was: 'With reference to the officers and men who direct the manaarement of the affairs of labor unions, do you believe that the great majority of them are lawless men?" ."I don't believe I can answer that question. I don't know anything about the officers." was the reply. "Well, what la your belief about them?" "I don't know anything about them." Aatl-laloa Feellac Healed. "Tou realles that the defendant Is on trial for a matter that concerns labor unions and you have no opinion about the majority of the officers belna; law less men?" "A great many are and a great many not." "About half and half, thenr" "I couldn't draw the line." "If you thoua-ht a great majority you would say no?' "If my mind waa made up." "Hon t you know, Mr. Nelson, . that you are prejudiced against officers of labor unions?" "No, I should not say so." The prosecution objected to the line of questioning as assuming that the venireman knew that the defendant waa a member of organized labor and that no evidence or proof to that elteot had been introduced. "Do you deny that the defendant isT" asked Mr. Harrow. "We are not giving testimony," an sewed O. Hay Morton, of counsel for the state. "Well. I want to state In open court," said Mr. Darro quietly, "that this de fendant ls a member of organised la bor." Oplaloa Already Ferssed. "Have you any opinion as to tho guilt or Innocence of the defendant?" "1 have." "Mow long have you had this opin ion?" , "Four to six months." The venireman added that ho had by personal Investigation formed an opin ion as to whether the explosion was caused by gas or dynamite. W challenge tho Juror as being biased." suddenly said Mr. Iavls, and the prosecution resisted the challenge and began a cross-examination. "Tou feet that you have an opinio founded on newspaper reports as to the guilt or Innocence of the prisoner?" asked Mr. Horton. for the state. "Yea" "Is It a fixed opinion." "It Is until there Is evidence to re move it." "Which party to this suit would have to prove the guilt or Innocence?" "I wouldn't convict on newspaper re ports or rumors." "In other words. If you were sworn and no other facta were Introduced ex cept as are In your mind from notoriety and rumors, would you find the pris oner not guilty?" "I wouldn't want to." , "Have you any bias, then?" "Not personally." "Would you give this defendant an Impartial trial T' "I believe 1 could." 'lf you are sworn as a Juror would you. Independent of your opinion now, try the defendant Impartially?" "I'd try to," "Your state of mind Is such that you would resist the Introduction of evi dence to remove your opinion?" "It would take evidence to remove my opinion." Nelson said he wa In such a state of mind that he could Ignore his opinion, and Mr. Norton asked that the challenge be refused. The court then questioned Nelson, who-said that ironx evidence might remove the opinion he had formed. The argument between prosecution and defense over the allowance of the challenge was then begun In earnest. Owlaloaa Hard te Overroaae. The defense resumed vigorously In the afternoon It contention that an opinion once formed wa difficult of removal. Mr. Harrow read from cases where veniremen had admitted that It would take more or less evidence to chana-e already formed opinions. ' Hut outside of statute or decision." argued Mr lurrow in the course of his reading, "the defendant has a consti tutional right to an Impartial Jury asd the defendant should have tHe benefit of any doubt. Kven If the statute here said nothing of the Impartiality of the Jury, the Constitution of the United States says that a prisoner has a right to a trial by Jury, and a Jury mean 12 Impartial men who have not preju.rged the case." Frequently during his reading of the experiences with talesmen In various rases Mr. Darroa emphasized that wherever examination revealed that talesmen thought they could act Impar tially, notwithstanding earlier Impres sions or opinions. It was for the court to decide whether they were qualified to become Jurors. Defining bias, he asserted that the common law automatically disqualified a talesman who had jirevlously formed an opinion as to the guilt or Innocence of the prisoner.

Juror, after these utterances of the various courts, I would be Interested to hear It." continued Mr. Darrbw, "and never before have I seen, your honor, an officer of the state ask that a Juror such as Nelson, who admitted he had a Dreconcclved prejudice which It would J take strong evidence to remove, be ac- ceptea. , JJarrow dwelt further on the Influ ence of newspaper reports In prejudic ing veniremen, declaring that repeat edly In previous cases talesmen, when examined, admitted that early opinions and thoughts would bob up when weighing evidence. Such talesmen, he added, hardly were a impartial as those who'had not read of the case or formed any opinions. That the defense would consider the acceptance of Nelson ampje ground for appeal was Indicated frankly by Dar ro w. It's up to this court first." he said, "to a court of review to any court to determine whether the Juror can give a fair and Impartial trial regard less of whether he says he can. A fair trial rannot be had where an unbiased Jurycannot be had. "This is a case." he concluded "of the gravest possible Importance to this defendant, a case where every person, far and near, knows that there has been prejudice, feeling and notoriety, such as never has been known In a criminal case before, and a case peculiarly call ing for every protection afrqjded by the law." Impartiality Is Two-Sided. G. Ray Horton took up the argument for the state. "It ls a double-sided proposition," he said, "that an impartial Jury be se cured. It Is Just as Important that the people get a square daal as It ls that the defendants obtain a fair trial." "Yes. I agree With counsel for the defense," continued Mr. Horton. "It ls a case that has attracted the attention of the world, and for that very reason how would It be possible ever to get an Intelligent Jury who had not read of It before? We would get a Jury of ignor amuses, were it not that the statute says that public rumor or newspaper reports should not disqualify a Juror. "Hut the Issue here Is a simple one. It Is not a case of whether the Times was blown up by dynamite or by gas. whether the defendant Is a member of a labor union or not. but simply the murder of one Charles Haggerty on October 1. 1910. There is no collateral issue now." Mr. Horton discussed the consider ations by which a reviewing court would be bound In determining whether a Jury was biased. "I don't think you should go Into the question of what a higher court would do." interrupted Judge Bordwell. "I think your honor should think of the higher court In ruling on this Juror." suggested Mr. Davis, of the de fense. -Very true." replied the court, "but I understood counsel to be arguing on what a higher court would do, and that Is not relevant." It had not been expected to hold court tomorrow, but the state called attention to the fact that the talesmen were being kept in confinement and that every effort should be made to expedite the release of those who eventually were disqualified as Jurors. DEFENSE FUND IS WATCHED Detective Burns Says More Than Million Has) Doen Raised. CLEVELAND. O..' Oct. IS. Detective Burns disputed here today the state ment of Attorney Parrow. for the McNamara defense, that only $120,000 had been raised thus far for the trial. "As a matter of fact," -said Burns, "more than one million dollars already has been raised. We know that to be a fact. We have cumulative evidence. The country is to know In detail con cerning the raising of this fund. And with this Information will go positive evidence of Just where the money has gone, and how It has been expended." Burns talked about some of the al leged methods of the defense. He made charges of an extremely strong na ture, charges which he says formally will be brought to the attention of 14. 1911.
