Twelv men in the court of Circuit Judge Morrow will have an opportunity today to decide whether or' not liquor was sold in the gingrer-ale and logan berry highballs passed over the bar of of the. "soft" drink establishment of George Schultz at 293 Washington street during the month of January. Deputy District Attorney Hammersly ' will conclude the argument for the state this morning, and the case will be submitted to the jury, An important ruling of Judge Mor row with regard to the right of the authorities to employ officers or in formers to secure evidence against bootleggers was made yesterday in denying the motion of Attorneys Mc Cue & Estes for a directed verdict of acquittal. The right, beyond doubt. Vests with the state, ruled the court, provided the distinction between offer ing the suspect an opportunity to break the law and soliciting him to break it is observed. Defense Uses Character Witnesses. The Colorado rule, cited at length by Attorney McCue, was shown by Judge iforrow to have no application to the case at issue, having been based on the refusal of a court to try a prear ranged case in which the prosecution was not genuine. . Deputy LMstrict Attorney Mowry made the opening argument before the jury yesterday. Attorney McCue re plied. iJeputy District Attorney Ham inersley will make the closing argu ment this morning. Witnesses for the defense in the Schultz case, with one exception, have been all "character" witnesses, and could be divided into two distinct classes. In one class were those who testified that George Schultz had al ways borne a good reputation prior to his arrest on January 28. In the other class were those who testified that Gus Yungcberp. one of the witnesses for the prosecution, bore a poor reputation for truth and veracity. Former Jurors Testify. The exception was Suey Sam, the Chinese who told of using the gin con fiscated in the raid for cooking pur poses only. That Schultz had borne a good repu tation in the community prior to his arrest was never denied bv the prose- ution. Stranpely, five "of the men who testified that in their knowledge his reputation before his arrest was pood were jurors who had convicted Schultz in the lower court on the evi dence and despite that knowledge. And they were called by the defense. The chief point of attack of Attor ney McCue for the defense was Yrinpre berg, an employe of the Constable, who secured evidence against Schultz. He testified to purchasing numerous gin t'er ale and loganberry drinks at t-chultz' temperance bar which con tained a "'kick," and also to the direct purchase of a pint flask of bona fide whisky. Lawyer's Veracity Questioned. 'Attorney McCue called him "in former" and declared that the state had conspired to induce Schultz to break the law. Then the lawyer called lo the witness stand Attorney Thomas McCusker and others connected with the Mureella Clark insanity investiga tion. The purpose of this was to produce evidence that Yungeberg had falsely sworn to .an affidavit charging Mrs. Clark with being insane. The state did not go into this phase deeply, but went so far as to put on the stand W. ft. l'"Iten, who testified that Attorney McCurker's reputation for truth and veracity was bad. The stare did not rest its ase upon Tungeberg's testimony, by any means. The chief witness for the state was Fred Kergonla. Schultz' bartender, who confessed to selling a "mixed" ginger Hie lie "thought" contained intoxi cating liquor to patrons of the saloon Sihulti formerly conducted on Fifth street. No attempt was made to im larh him, nor. Roy Ward, the Deputy Sheriff who testified to purchasing a Kinger ale highball" at the Schultz bar. JuiIkc McGinn on Stand, Five witnesses were called yesterday morning. Judge Henry E. McGinn was placed on the stand by the defense. He testified that he had known of Schultz for two years and that his reputation was good. B. I). Hale, clerk in the office of Attorney McCusker, charged general corruption in the Marcella Clark case, particularly in the instance of Yungeberg. . W. S. U'Ren testified that he had known Attorney McCusker for years nd that his reputation for veracity w as not good. He denied that the law yrr's position as secretary pf the Em ployers' Association had influenced his judgment. Charles W. Ackerson was also called by the prosecution to testify to Mr. McCusker's reputation. He said that he only knew the attorney's repu tation during the 1912 Republican con vention in Chicago, which was held not competent testimony. At the conclusion of the testimony Attorney McCue moved for a directed verdict of acquittal, assigning five purely technical reasons for the mo tion. The first reason was that the alleged acts of selling liquor were on the so licitation of the state's officers. The second, that it .was alleged that Vie nuisance fiad been maintained in the Perkins Hotel, when in truth it was in the Perkins' cafe. 293 Washington street. Third, that the Perkins Hotel was under the control of the Perkins Hotel Company, and that the defendant was not in possession of the hotel, nor an employe of the hotel. Fourth.-that there was duplicity in the complaint in the allegations of maintenance of a nuisance, having whisky for sale, and . having liquor stored there. Fifth, that the complaint did not allege that the nuisance -was maintained knowingly dynamite found in car Two and a Half Sticks Wrapped In Comic Supplement. A deadlier jest than the artists con ceived waa found in a colored comic newspaper supplement by Inspector C. 6 Prindle. of the Portland Railway. Lieht & Power Company, Thursday, Two and a half etlcks of dynamite were wrapped in the paper, which was hidden in a Fere Marquette boxcar in the yards t East Water and East Main streets. Saturday A.
