Counsel for Defense Augmented by Addition of Judge Lord Taken Under Advisement. SALEM, Or., May 27. (Special.) Ar gumcnts were heard by Judge Burnett. today In support of a motion for a new trial for J. Thorburn Ross, the Port land banker who was recently con victed of converting state school funds. The question was taken under advise ment until tomorrow morning. This was the day fixed for sentencing Mr. Ross but the passing of sentence was postponed pending the decision upon motion for new trial and for arrest of judgment. That the defense Is making every possible effort to save Mr. Ross from the penitentiary is evident from the fact that ex-Supreme Judge W. P. Lo,rd was added to the counsel for Ross to day. Judge Lord and Wallace McCam ant made extensive arguments in sup port of the legal defenses set up by Ross that the state funds were sub ject to general deposit, that they were so deposited and hence that there was no conversion, also, that if there was a conversion it was the act of the cor poration and not of Mr. Ross. District Attorney John Manning and M. L. Pipes, appeared for the state, in sisting that the constitution and laws of the state prescribe how theschool funds shall be loaned and ..by! whom. Also, the failure of any person having custody of school funds to turn them over when demanded is made a crime by statute, and that the individuals managing the corporation must be held liable for its criminal acts. Mr. Ross was in court today and lis tened to the arguments with the usual absence of expression upon his fea tures. 3fcGregor to Assume June 15. ASTORIA, Or., May 27. (Special.) W. F.
