THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, ' SATURDAY, MAY -l&xu. SCBIBER INSANE, SD ALIENISTS SHY physician. In operating on Scriber's son for appendicitis, testified that Scriber walked the floor, wept and wrung his hands while his son was in a precarious condition. He said Scrlber would then Insist on attending to his business when he was advised to stay with his son. Dr. Molitor said that he had been the Scriber family physician from 1891 to 1908 and that he had frequently advised Scri ber to leave his work, on account of fail ing health, but the latter always said there was no one to whom he could trust it. In 1906 he said Scriber . became so affected that he withdrew most of his, money from the Farmers & Traders Na tional Bank. ae Royal. iacltlie Riebt Bouse After k V Defense Admits , Forgery Notes and Theft "of Bank Funds. of ' ' . ' . ' ' . , CROSS QUESTIONS SHARP Federal Attorney McCourt Prepares Himself as Expert on Insanity ' and Secures Admissions From the Defendant's Witnesses. Was J. W. Scrlber, cashier of the wrecked Farmers' & Trailers' National Bank of La Grande, really insane when he forged notes and committed defalca tions amounting- to $90,000? On this question now rests the. case of Scrlber, who is on trial before Fed eral Judge Bean in the United. States District Court, as a long, hypothetical question propounded by Scrlber's at torneys to alienists yesterday after noon, their answers and the cross-examination of District Attorney John McCourt conceded that the thefts were made as alleged. The defenselintroduced expert med- i leal testimony tending- to show that Scrlber Is afflicted with paranoia, a form of insanity, which left him mentally unsound on one particular subject while he was normal on all others, and that he cannot be held re sponsible for acts committed under such deranged condition of the mind. A long, hypothetical question pre pared by Attorneys 1m. H. McMahon and C. W. Fulton, for the defense, which embraced the Scrlber family, tending to show that the mother, two sisters and a cousin had mental trouble, was not allowed to be answered by Dr. W. A. Cusick, the expert ' witness, until the afternoon session of court because of objections entered by Dis trict Attorney McCourt. When the legal battle was finished Dr. Cusick laid he believed Scrlber to be insane. Cross-Examination Vigorous. . Dr. W. T. Williamson, a specialist on nervous diseases and for 17 years Drst assistant physician in the state isylum, answered the assumption in the hypothetical question promptly, saying: "I would say that he is insane." The point made by the defense was that Scrlber had delusions that a con spiracy existed, prompted by the Church Bank, a rival Institution, to wreck the Farmers' &' Traders' Na tional Bank. Dr. Williamson explained that there are two kinds of delusions, one being a delusion of a sane person which might be removed by reason ing, and the other an insane delusion which could not be removed by any course of reasoning, testimony or proof that the opinion was erroneous. He laid the paranoic had Insane delusions, and described symptoms such as Scrlber is said to have exhibited before the failure of his bank. District Attorney McCourt conducted a vigorous cross-examination of Dr. Williamson and Judge Bean also took part in the questioning. The District Attorney had a pile of medical books in front of him and the questioning brought out the fact that he had been reading and thor oughly posting himself on paranoia and other forms of insanity. After'a long line of questioning Dr. Williamson said a man might commit a series of crimes, fall in health and change from a cheer ful to the opposite disposition, , become careless of hi3 dress and change his whole demeanor, the change marked in Scrlber's personality by witness for the defense, and still be sane. Witness Admits -Situation. Attorney McCourt then asked that if a sane bank cashier, who had em bezzled funds, forged notes, forged new notes to take up old forged notes, conducted a process of juggling ac counts to make the books balance so that his defalcations would not be dis covered, had sickness and death in his family at the time and was also com batting a bitter fight with a rival bank which had been taken up by the entire community and got into politics, might not fail In health and result in a change of personality, to which ur. Williamson replied: "Yes." Judge Bean then asked Dr. William son If the accusations othe than those admitted by the defendant's counsel could be proven, whether or not . It would change his opinion regarding the insanity of Scrlber. Dr. William son said that if proof was sufficient it could change his opinion. Dr. Lee Steiner, superintendent of the . State Insane Asylum, was dismissed after he had answered the hypothetical ques tion. In which he gave his opinion that Scriber was insane when cashier of the bank. Dr. Tamiesie, hospital physician at the State Asylum, was the next witness. He said in his opinion Scriber was insane. Judge Bean asked Dr. Tamiesie if a man might not be a paranoic and still be able to distinguish right from wrong, to which the doctor replied in the affirmative. Fulton Jumps to His Feet. Attorney McCourt brought Attorney Fulton to his feet with an objection when he asked this question, following an as sertion that Scriber had a delusion that the Church bank was in a conspiracy to put his bank out of business: "When a whole community has a be lief and a man shares In that belief, would that be a delusion?" Fulton qbjected on the ground that the question pertained to a condition ' not shown by testimony. "I'll Just illustrate an exaggerated opinion now," facetiously remarked Mc Court, "with counsel, when he says that was not in the record, which is a delu sion." Witness was not required to answer the question. "Supposing from the same evi dence produced that a dozen people should all come to the same conclusion," eald McCourt, "and one person would be more pronounced than the others in his opinion, would that Indicate insan ity?" "I would suspect him at once," replied the doctor. McCourt finished his cross-examination by reciting a hypothetical question, even longer than that of the defense, which incorporated a history of the whole case of defalcation. Including the minute detail of how Scriber Is alleged to have carried on his banking business. Fulton vigorously objected and finally McCourt agreed to withdraw the question and submit a new one at the next session of court. Court then adjourned until 2 P. M. Monday. In the forenoon. Dr. E. B.

The college baseball championship of Oregon is the prize that hinges on the result of two games to be prayed here tomorrow be- . tween the baseball teams of the Uni versity of Oregon and the Oregon Ag ricultural College. The O. A. C. players, who have been coached by "Fielder" Jones, arrived here tonight. Oregon has suffered much bad luck this season from Injuries to players, and the voodoo came, to the front again last night, when Chandler and Jamison collided while running after a high foul. Both were completely laid out for several minutes, and Chandler probably will be unable' to play. Hls absence will make a big hole in the outfield. He is also one of the team's best hit ters. O. A. C. has a heavy hitting team, but the Oregon supporters are counting on Henkle, their star let-handed pitcher, to hold them down. Henkle may have to twirl both games, as Word Injured a ligament In his pitching arm in prac tice. Oregon's present high position In the race for the Northwest Intercolle giate pennant is due largely to Hen kle's steady work in the box and the work of "Father Tom" Kelley, the Ore gon coach,- who has developed a fast team out of raw material. WELCH SPOILS HIS CHANCES Sportsmen Say They Cannot Trust " Him With Big Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. (Special.) Sports are very sore today over the way Referee Jack Welch permitted the Papke-Thomas fight to go 15 rounds without any apparent effort on Papke's part to put up a fight. If Welch had cautioned Papke and then declared it "no contest,'' or if he had declared all bets off, he would have gained the applause of the big audi ence. As It Is, he has killed his chances to be referee of the Jeffries Johnson battle because he has shown that he cannot be depended on to do the right thing. Papke claims h.e lost $750 by letting Thomas go beyond the 15-round mark, but those who saw him in the ring cannot believe this. He gave every sign of stalling from the seventh to the loth round, and the ease with which he finished Thomas in the half of the 16th round confirmed the suspicions that he had been faking. The match was a very poor one, as Papke outweighed Thomas by 15 pounds and was so strong that he han dled Joe as though he had been a 10-year-old boy.

WASHINGTON HAS PENNANT Interscholastic Honors Decided by Fast Game of Jefferson High, Which Will Now Play Lincoln for Second Place Cup. Whatever chance Coach Dolly Gray's Columbia University baseball team had for the championshipi of the Portland In terscholaetlc League was obliterated yes terday afternoon on Multnomah Field when the fast Jefferwm High School team shut it out by the score of 4 to 0. The win by Jefferson gives the pennant to the Washington High School, the win ner of last year's pennant. Columbia and Washington probably will play next Wednesday afternoon. The win will also give Jefferson a chance for the cup for second place. Jefferson and Lincoln will play for the cup. This is the first game this year in which the Jefferson High School team really played the ball it is capable of. In the two games this season the Jeffer son lads would go up in the air in one inning and lose the game, but yesterday they were as steady as clockwork and won the game as easily as they should have won the former games. The whole team played a fast, snappy game all the way through the nine innings and Co lumbia was held scoreless. Arthur Does Great Pitching. Earl Arthur, the Jefferson High School lad, pitched winning ball from the start. He was touched up for a total of nine hits, but these were- scattered widely and two hits were all they got In one inning. He, however, tightened up when neces sary and pulled out of two pretty bad holes. Eddie McAllen, for the victorious team, caught throughout the game with a catching hand which was badly hurt several .days' ago. McAllen distinguished himself toy driving in the first two runs with a timely hit to left Held. He also had the Columbia players hugging the bases closely. He caught several men trying to -steal second. Van Zant made a great one-handed catch of Kirk's long fly to center field. Lind also made a good catch of a fly while on the run. Three of Jefferson's runs were made in the third inning. Stuerhoff. the first man at bat, walked. Brady also walked and Arthur sent both of them on a notch by bunting safely along the first base line'; Arthur was caught off first a moment later and Stuerhoff started for home, but by a quick throw from Harris he was' caught. Brady went to third and Arthur to second on the play. Then came Eddie McAllen with his well placed hit to left, scoring Brady and Arthur. McAllen took second on the throw to the plate, stole third and scored on a passed ball by Perkins. - McAllen Makes Final Run... The other run was scored in the sixth. McAllen, first man up, got a walk. He promptly stole second and went to third on Murphy's infield hit, which Heywood couldn't reach. Morgan and McAllen then worked the squeeze play and McAllen scored. Murphy stole second and was sacrificed to third by Campion, but was caught off third a moment later by a dandy throw to Finnegan by Perkins. Williams hit to the pitcher and was out at first and Van Zant fanned and ended the inning. Columbia had a man on third three times, hut failed to register. Kirk, the Columbia pitcher, fanned 11 and allowed but four hitot but they all counted in the run-'getting. The players: Jefferson. Position. . Columbia.. Arthur p Kirk McAllen c F.
