Without Debate.
Portland, July 19.—After 12 days of
trialaJhe reputation ot three of the

snd Marion R. Biggs, had been hoard,

opening argument for the prosecution,
Judge Bennett sprang a surprise. He
refused <0 discuss, on behalf of the de
fendants, the case that had been made
against them, or the reasons why the
verdict sliould be one of acquittal. The
whole contention was left to the judg
ment of the jury, without argument.
Judge Bennett, in making this request
to the court, said:
‘
“May it please the court, I do not
fee! that the opening statement of the
district attorney was very full or very
fair iu this case, and in view of the fact
that the jury has been here now for 12
days, trying thie case, and has listened

ernment, and thé evidence and expian-
atioriB qn behalf of the defendants, and
must thoroughly understand our posi
tion in the case from the arguments
that have arisen during the course of
