Oefense tses Character Witnesses
and Attacks Testimony of One
Who Tleportcd He Had Had
Highballs With "Kick."
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
