The celebrated ease of the State of Oregon against the Roseburg Brewery & Ice Company and Its five directors, which has occupied the at tention of the circuit court and Jury for the past three days went to the jury at a late hour this afternoon. The case has attracted considerable attention and the court room has been packed at ench session Including that held last night. The State rested about five o'clock yesterday afternoon and District At torney George M. Brown took a lit tle time in arguing points of law to the court and then made a twenty two minute address to the Jury, In which he reviewed methodically the evidence of this state and parts of the evidence of the defense. His ad- dress was orderly and gentlemanly. Kllx-rt llerniunn Talks. The court at six o'clock last even ing adjourned till seven thirty p. m. at which time Attorney Elbert Her mann began his address to the jury. He consumed two hours time in furtherance of his advocacy of the cause of his clients. For the first three quarters of an hour of his ad dress he heaped one abuse after an- j other upon District Attorney George M. Brown. Sheriff Quine and his deputies and The Evening News. He is a master of vituperative language and he used his powers to the utmost in bringing Insult upon every one con nected with the prosecution of the case. He referred to the prosecutor as a "weak man" and "a weakling". In referring to some of Browns guestions to the witnesses he said DR. POSEY Specialist for Eye, Ear Nose and Throat Diseases.

Ho frequent ly told the Jury what he would do if he were the prosecuting attorney of this county. He told the Jury that the prosecutor had practiced fraud ' on the Jury in reading from the artic les of incorporation of the brewery. "You have to try George Brown every time you try a criminal case in court," he shouted at the top of his voice, and at another time he bubbled over with mirth when he said "if tbore Is one thing that I try to do when Brown is talking It Is to keep track of the mistakes that he makes and he makes lots of them." An other time he calledthe prosecuting, attorney "the King of Pettifoggers." in a dramatic way he said that The News had been "yellow" in its conduct in reference to tills case since tho famous raid on July 3d. Ho pranced around in front of the jury box, sometimes yelling at the top of his voice and at othors talking iu a whisper. He referred briefly to the evi dence of the witnesses, placing a halo of truthfulness around all those cal led in behalf of the defense and a crown of insincerity upon those cal led for the prosecution. He charged that all persons in the courtroom interested in the prose cution of the case were "hypocrlts." Once he referred to District Attorney Brown as a "greyhound," to the Sheriff and his deputies as "a bunch of puppies" and to The News as "a yellow press with a brass band." To Professors Shinn and Fulton, men of unquestioned reputation and ability, he paid his insulting re spects In such language as "long headed over-educated asses." At another time he referred to Prof. Fulton as "that little fellow with an Irish face and a pug nose." Almost In the same breath he said of Prof. Fulton "What good to any commun ity is an over-educated fool like that." Aside from these expressions against the prosecutor, the sheriff and his deputies, the yellow press (singular, not plural) his two hours were filled with others along the same line. He devoted little argu ment to the evidence, as evidence and apparently endeavoung to take the part of an actor. Attorney Itlco Talks. ' After the address given by Attor ney Elbert Hermann court adjourn ed till nine o'clock this morning when Attorney Dexter Rice, for the defense began his argument to the court and to the Jury. Mr. Rice cited a num ber of cases and authorities to show that tho corporation, and not its direc tors, are llablo for the acts of its em ployees. Mr. Rice suggested to the court that if the jury found It to be a fact that the beverage sold was in toxicating thnt the corporation alone was responsible, and not the directors who could not be charged, with the knowledge of what the employees made and sold. Jlr. Rice started out by saying that he wanted to he per- u'cuy 1,111 l,,n n--uiviv to the testimony. He took up me evi dence given by the different witnes ses and explained to the jury what value they should place upon It. In contrast to Attorney Hermann's re murks Mr. Rice stated "I would not tear down the reputation of George M. Brown to win this case." His speech as a whole was free from any abuse and what references ho made to the prosecutor, the sheriff the press and the state's witnesses were not filled with vlndlctlveness but on the contrary-were made In a humor ous manner which took away any Biting that might otherwise have at tached to them. He was given close i attention by the jury and every one In the court room. In closing he asked the jury to attribute any mis takes that he may have made In the exposition of the evidence to himself and not to the defendants on trial. His last sentences were eloquent and made the heart throt faster when he told of the humiliation and shame that would attach to the defendants In case a verdict of guilty as charged was rendered against them. He paused a moment and then said "Gentlemen all that we ask of you Is a fair, square deal for these men and I know that they will have It at your hands." As he took his seat the dropping of a pin could have been heard anywhere in the courtroom, so deep was the silence. j (Continued on Page Eight) LOOD SPURTED Convicts in Michigan Peniten-j tiary Inhumanly Whipped ARE PUNISHED FOR REVOLTING ' All Men Pnitii-lpiUiiK In Klot At The Prison Met Like Fate Work el's Or World Pinned The Strike.

The saloon in the George Hoover building and once owned and operat ed by Robert Connor, has lately got ten Into the lime light again. Sus pecting that liquor was sold In the place, Billy Eastman generally known as the converted ex-convlct, in the role of detective, visited tle place on August 14 and called for whiskey. A bottle of the real stuff was produc ed and without question or com ment a portion of the liquor was pns sed out to Eastman who paid for It. The evidence was turned over to Sheriff Quine who raided the place a few days after. On the strength of the evidence secured at that time and from what Eastman held, the matter was turned over to the grand jury last week. Anticipating troub le, perhaps, from grand jury invest igation, the place was closed for a good part of Saturday. Investigation developed the fact that Cox, the barkeeper In charge of the night shift on August 14, had been discharged last Thursday. His whereabouts are not known to the officers at present. Friday night business In the resort, so It Ib alleged, was wide open, and whisky wag sold without stint to all who had the price. Lfmas Whltford was said to be In charge of the place at that time. Wiring to Joe Call, who was at Portland, and who Is said to have purchased a partnership In the busi ness on August 5, that he must come at once, Whltford left the city pre- sumahl Sunday morning. Just where he is right now Is Immaterial Call arrived and opened the place for business late Saturday. An In spection of the place a couple of days ago revealed the fact that no retail near beer license was In evidence In the place, and a demand to see the document brought forth the reply that It was In the safe and the com bination unknown. Today the license, made In favor of Lima Whltford. is posted on the wall. Joe Call, on being questioned closely, acknowl edged that he was a partner In the business with Whltford, having I purchased an Interest on August 5. This fact makes him an accessory to the whiskey selling of August 14. While Indictments are probable, the grand Jury ban not yet returned a true bill against any one connected with the place.
