The Jury which for weeks had been
listening; to the evidence in the case
retired for deliberation . at S:58
yesterday - afternoon. Closing- argu
ments were made for. the defense and
the state, respectively by E. S. J. Mc
Allister and Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald, each occupying: about three
hours. Judsje Morrow allowed . the
Jurors" to take a typewritten copy of
bis Instructions with them, arrange
ments to this effect having been made
in advance between the Judge and the
attorneys. v
- The 12 men who found Roberts
piilty are ' W. B. Glafke, com
mission merchant and one time candi
date for Mayor of Portland; W. L. Mal

tenbein, expressman; J. A. Scherzinger,
musician; H. H. Ransier, laborer; J. X.
Fax, tailor; M. Palmer, barber, and
D. W. Walker, contractor's foreman.
Tbe trial commenced Tuesday, June 4,
and hi witnesses were examined.
The state was represented by Deputy
District Attorney Fitzgerald and John
F. Logan and Dan J. Malarkey, the lat
ter two having been engaged as spe
cial prosecutors by Charles Stewart,
father of the boy whom Roberts Is ac
cused of having slain, together with
George Hastings, in- an attempted
automobile holdup on the Whitehouse
road on March 29. The defendant's
attorneys were E. J. McAllister and
F. H. Whitfield, who were appointed
by Presiding Judge Kavanaugh because
of Roberts' lack of funds, and Roscoe
Hurst, who was paid a small fee by an
annt of the defendant to lend his as
sistance. . - Judaic Defines Duty. ' '
"Tho defense of insanity has been
Interposed In this ' case," said Judge
Morrow in his instructions, "and the
law In such cases is that you shall be
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant committed the act
charged, at the time and place and in
the manner claimed, then .you should
consider Lf he did so while in such a
state of mind to appreciate and under
stand the nature and quality of the acts
he was doing, and to understand, the
difference between right . and wrong
with respect to this act. ' .
"First, assuming, as the law re
quires you to do, that the defendant
waa entirely sane, determine whether
he committed the act charged.- Second,
If you shall be satisfied to the required
degree of certainty that he did commit
the act complained of then consider
and not till thens should you consider
the question of insanity. -The burden
of proof to establish this defense of
Insanity la on the defendant. If' you
have any doubt yon should resolve. It
In favor of the state. Under our statute
the law presumes that all persons
charged with crime were sane at the
time when the acts charged were com
mitted and that such condition con
tinues until the contrary Is shown. -
"Notwithstanding that the" defendant
has interposed the. plea of insanity in
this case there la no presumption of
law that he should necessarily admit
the commission of the offense set forth
In the Indictment from the mere fact
f tbe interposing of such defense." -Prisoner's
Mother Leave Room. '
For the first time during the four
weeks that the trial has dragged .on
tfra. Mary Pfeiffer, mother of the de
fendant, left his side while the Judge
Was giving his instructions. The eyes
f several of the jurors followed her
ks she left the crowded courtroom.
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
leclared In his argument that If the
tvldence adduced was such as to con
vince the Jurors of Roberts' insanity
then "every man who commits crime
is crasy." He said that E. 8. J. Mc
Allister, of the defense, would under
take "in his flowery manner" to prove
any member of the Jury Insane and "he
-is so plausible, that he would mighty
near get away with It."
The argument of Mr. McAlllster.who
preceded him, had been largely a, dls
sertatlon on the subject of mental in
competence during the course of which
he reviewed the testimony as to the
defendant's alleged insanity and fer
vently avowed that it left not the
slightest doubt in his mind as to. Rob
ert s mental condition.'
"Roberts shot these men, he made
careful preparations to do it, he turned
and ran, he attempted to disguise him
self and he talked first about proving
an alibi." . said Mr. Fitzgerald. "Does
that Indicate a crazy man to you? Our
doctors say he was feigning Insanity.
Now let me tell you that a man who is
really insane resents even an insinu
atlon that he is. He thinks that he is
perfectly rational and that everyone
else is crazy. Just as a drunken man
often imagines that he is sober and
others are intoxicated. Mr. McAllister
lays great stress upon heredity. Why
if what he argues were true everyone
in the world would have been crazy
long ago. Do you Imagine that any
insane asylum would hold this man?
No. he would be out and probably ar
ranging to murder some other person
In a short while. Do you imagine that
you can prevent crime by soft-hearted
sentiment better than you can by mak
ins; examples of those who commit
crimes?"
Omar and Poe Are Read.
Attorney McAllister read during his
arguments "The Raven." Edgar Allen
Poe's poem, and referred to the author
as a paranoiac He quoted extracts
from Omar Khayyam and declared that
the great mental stress under which
the authors of these masterpieces were
apparently laboring was reflected In
the defendant, the only difference be
ing that there were geniuses while he
was criminally Inclined. All three were
laboring under delusions for which
they" were desperately seeking solu
tions, he said, Roberts' deluslgp taking
the form of "persecutory paranoia" and
being? accompanied by an obsession that
only by the deaths' of others could he
save himself.
"The only thing which this defend
ant inherited was a criminal propen
sity." argued Mr. Fitzgerald. . "If such
an inheritance is to be regarded as in
sanity then our asylums will rapidly
fill with confirmed criminals and there
will be no room for the-really insane."
The only real duty devolving upon
the jury is the determination of the de
fendant's sanity or Insanity. It is an
ticipated that there will be little dif
ficulty in arriving at a conclusion that
he committed the act, the state's case
having been unusually strong consider
ing that it was based on circumstantial
evidence and the defendant's attorneys
having made no attempt to controvert
along this line and having made state
ments in their arguments which indi
cate that such a finding on the part
of the jury is a foregone conclusion.
They were careful to explain, however,
that In Oregon there Is no such thing
as confession and avoidance, tnai is
Roberts could not have pleaded guilty
and then have been permitted to in
troduce evidence tending to prove in
sanity.
On the Jury will devolve the tasK oi
accepting as true, either the statements
of Doctors E. M. Brown and Spiro Sar-
ffentlch 6r Doctors W. T. Williamson
and A. E. Tamiesle, the former two hav
ing testified that Roberts is insane and
unable to distinguish between right
and wrong, the test laid down by the
Supreme Court of Oregon when Insan
ity la employed as a defense, and the
latter two having testified directly OP
posits.

HAZZARD CASE COMES UP
State Medical Board Meets to Act on
Revocation of License.
TACOMA, Wash., July 2. (Special.)
After obtaining legal advice - on an
unusual point raised by her attorney,
the State Medical Board will meet to
morrow at the Tacoma Hotel to con
sider the revocation of the medical
license held by Dr. Linda Burfield Haz-
zard. '
The law comnels the board to revoke
the license of a physician convicted of
an offense Involving moral turpitude,
but when the board met today to taKe
up the Hazzard case, Attorney Kerr, of
Seattle, who appeared in her behalf.
argued that Dr. Hazzard could not be
considered as a convicted person, as
she had appealed her case to the Su
preme Court.
The case came Deiore me Doara on
the complaint of Prosecuting Attorney
Thomas Stevenson, of Kitsap- county.
Mrs. Hazzard was convicted or nan-
lausrhter in the Kitsap County court
as a result of the death of Claire Wil
liamson, an English woman. Miss Wil
liamson was a patient in the Hazzard
Institute at Olalla. Under Dr. Haa
zard's directions she took the fast-
cure treatment. She died In May. 1911.

Memorial services for the late Frank
B. Kingsley, of Kansas City, Kan.,
grand esteemed lecturing knight of
the Elks, will be held In connection
with the forthcoming grand lodge ses
sion in Portland. The day and hour
for holding these services probably
will be fixed soon after the arrival Of
the grand lodge officers in Portland
tomorrow morning.
Mr. Kingsley died suddenly at his
home one- month ago,' just when he
was preparing to attend the festivities
in Portland, and his death has Deen
the cause of regret to Elks throughout
the country, as he was a charter mem
ber of Kansas City Lodge, No. 440,
which was instituted April 30, 1898
and had served 11 years as chairman of
the finance committee and one year as
secretary.
Service la Varied.
He filled all the higher positions,
serving three years as esteemed lead
ing knight of his home lodge. He
was elected exalted ruler In 1904 and
the following year was representative
to the grand lodge at Buffalo. He was
appointed that year as member of the
grand lodge auditing committee, serv
ing three terms. He was deputy presi
dent of the Kansas state session of the
Elks, and was prominent throughout
thn aratfe. beinsr a member of the Mer
cantile Club In his home -city and of
various other festival and commercial
bodies.
In private life he was auditor of the
disbursement: department for Armour
& Co., which position he had held for
25 years continuously.
It is probable that had he lived he
would have advanced to a higher po
sitlon at the Portland convention.
The death of Mr. Kingsley while in
office recalls the act that atthe Dal
las, Tex., sesslon'of the grand lodge in
1908 memorial services were conducted
for two grand lodge officers William
T. Leckle, of Dowaglac, Mich., the
grand esteemed loyal knight, and Bay
ard Gray, of Frankfort. Ind., grand es.
teemed lecturing knight.
Meeting; Will Be Tonight.
First of the grand lodge officers to
arrive in Portland will be Raymond
Benjamin, of Napa, Cal., chairman of
the judiciary committee. He is due
here this afternoon. He has called a
meeting of the members of his com
mittee to be held at the Multnomah
Hotel tonight. The other members are
Frank R. Duncan, of Towson, Md.
John F. Burket, of Findlay, O.; Rich

ilies and will take quarters immedi

AGENT FOR "BRIDGE OF. GODS"
SEES STRANGE SPECTACLE.
Umatilla Braves Will Take Part in
Bigr Show Monday and Wednes-
day of Next Week.
Away. In the corner of the Warm
Springs Reservation two score redmen
are preparing an Indian version of
The Bridge of the Gods." A Du Gas,
who is now engaging Indians for the
production in Portland Monday and
Wednesday of next week at Multnomah
Field, saw the rehearsals.
The Indians, who intend to present
the show at future "potlatches." are
some of those who took part in the
production here. The dialect is Indian,
the translations having been made by
Spencer and McKinley, two young
bucks, who declare they nave improved
on the white woman's lines.
Wallula is not portrayed by a squaw,
buck has been accorded that honor.
The squaws too foolish. They not wise
enough for this," Chief Jackson Spooms
told Du Gas.
Tell white men we play great play
"here. We greater than white men.
We tell story of our own bridge our
way. We not come to Portland.
This is the message that, according
to Du Gas, he was instructed to de
liver. The Indian agent then left for
Umatilla County, x where he has been
successful In obtaining a largo-num
ber of red men who will take part In
the spectacle.
That "The Bridge of the-uods" nas
really gripped Portland was shown yes
terday by the tremendous advance sale

Elks were heavy purchasers, laying In
large stocks of the pasteboards for
visiting brethren expected for the convention.

I wish it to be understood I am no
longer a Republican. In making this
declaration I do not consider that I am
bolter,' because I have left the Re
publican party and ..do not intend to
go back to It, was the unequivocal
announcement of Frederick W. Mulkey,
ex-United States Senator and manager
of the Roosevelt campaign in Oregon
last Spring, on his return yesterday
from Chicago, where he observed the
work of the Republican National con
ventlon. -
I cannot take the oath of allegiance
to the Republican party this year," con
tlnued Mr. Mulkey.
The platform adopted by the Chi
cago convention is wean, vacillating
and colorless. It says any changes
must be orderly and constitutional.
To that I agree, but the platform
should go farther and say what those
ohanges should be, but It does not.
Third Party Only Cbolce.
I am still standing by ex-President
Roosevelt and favor the organization
of a progressive party. Having left
the Republican party, I cannot affiliate
with the Democratic party for two rea
sons: First, it is a party for tariff for
revenue only; secondly. It emphasizes
too srreafly state rights. For these
reasons alone, the Democratic party of
fers no future hope. The demands of
the situation require the organization
of a new political party such as Roose
velt and his friends have proposed, it
will be with that party I shall ally my
self."
Mr. Mulkey was asked if the rumor
was correct that he probably would be
come a candidate for United States
Senator this year or two years hence.
That is a question I have under
consideration." he answered. If the
Roosevelt people organize a progres
sive party this year, I shall probably
seek its indorsement for united states
Senator In the November election. The
matter of my candidacy depends en
tirely on the organization of the pro
posed progressive party."
Mr. Mulkey said he aid not Deueve
the nomination of Wilson for Presi
dent by the Democrats would eitner
deter or cause Roosevelt and his po
litical advisers to alter their plans for
bringing a new party into existence.
Miaanderatttndliia; la Denied.
"But in event the third party is not
organized "by the Roosevelt forces,
what will be your course?" was asked.
"In that contingency," answered Mr.
Mulkey, "I would assist in the organ
ization of a progressive party in Ore
gon, anyway."
The report that a misunderstanding
had developed between Dr. H. W. Ooe
and Mr. Mulkey because of their anx
iety to head tile Roosevelt third party
campaign in Oregon was denied by Mr.
Mulkey.
-"There Is absolutely no misunder
standing between us." said Mr. Mul
key. "The progressive movement is
greater than the personality of any
one man. If Roosevelt and his friends
think I am not the proper man to di
rect the new party movement in this
state I shall cheerfully step aside with
out a word of complaint and do what
I can to assist whomever they may
choose. I consider that my official po
sition with Roosevelt's campaign ter
minated with the primary election when
he received a plurality of more than

cise the action of the individual mem
bers of the Oregon delegation In the
Chicago convention.
"I do think, however," he said, "that
the delegates should have voted against
Root for temporary chairman of the
convention because of the moral effect
it would have had on the Roosevelt
campaign. On the contests, I accord to
them the right to follow the dictates of
their judgment, although I am unable
to see how they could have voted to

"No, r do not care to discuss their
votes on President andVice-President
Of course, the delegates were instruct-
ed to vote for Roosevelt in the conven
tion. Two of them did not, because of
the request of Roosevelt to refrain from
doing so. Their action in this partic
