THE -MORNIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1922 9 LIGHTNER'S CASE IS GIVEN TO JURY Elaborate Defense Swept Aside by Court: VERDICT IS DUE TODAY Charges or Official Collusion and Corruption Are Declared Ir relevant to Case. All the elaborate defense, so care fully built up by Dave Lightner, ac cused dope dealer, was swept aside In the federal court yesterday by Judge Bean, when the court, in in structions to the jury, declared that the evidence had wandered far from the issue and that Llghtner's charges cf official collusion and corruption should be ignored. The jury re ceived the case at 4:45 o'clock, with Instructions to return a verdict to be opened in court at 10 o'clock this morning. "If you think that the defendant violated the Harrison narcotics act, the opium act, the conspiracy statute, then it is your duty to convict him regardless of what you may think of the conduct of the officers," declared the court. Denunciation Is Terrible. Seldom has a prisoner sat at the bar of justice in the local federal court and listened to such a terrible denunciation as that which United States Attorney Humphreys heaped on Lightner's head during the clos ing argument yesterday afternoon. Lightner was likened to a male par asite, to a human vulture who fas tened on the miseries and misfor tunes of mankind. The defense, and the attorneys who prepared it, were also scored by the federal prose cutor. The taking of evidence in the case had been completed Saturday, and "yesterday was devoted to the argu ments of opposing attorneys'. As sistant United States Attorney Tom ilacguire opened for the government and Charles Garland and Ben Good man answered for the defendant during the morning. The main ar euement was delivered during the afternoon by Edward L. Fraley, representing Lightner, and Mr. Humphreys, the federal attorney. Fraley reviewed the testimony which had been introduced by the prosecution and the defense; he dwelt on the corruption of govern ment officials in their dealings with Lightner; he talked of the whisky that had been consumed on drug liunting expeditions and of a mys terious disappearance of a shipment of liquor aboard a Japanese liner. Six Persons Are Attacked. Six persons were singled out . for attack, by Fraley: Dr. "Linville and Frank B. Mitchell, prohibition en forcement officials; Customs In spectors Crewdson and Kippel, Aus tin F. Flegel, ex-assistant United States attorney, and Police Inspec tor Pt'rsinger. On a table in the court room stood a box of evidence, the valuable shipment of cocaine taken from liightner at the time of his arrest. Dramatically, the federal attorney reached over, picked up a can of the drug and handed it to an elderly and rural juror. "This is it,' he said, "A powder white, innocent looking, but a devil's talcum powder, the thing that robs man and woman of that quality that differentiates them from the beast. Nobody knows what uncommitted crimes are contained in those cans, rtobody knows the poverty, the misery, the shame and the degrada tion that those tin boxes hold." Kvil Effects Related. The prosecutor told, of (he awful effects of cocaine and morphine; he followed his word picture of the ulave of dope with a description of those who traffic in the stuff. "He is lower than the man who deals in the bodies and souls of women," Humphreys said with em phasis. "No depth is too deep or too black, no degradation too pro nounced for this type of .vultures who prey on the bodies and souls of their victims. But if dope has con taminated its users, it has blackened those who engage in the traffic. This case exemplifies to you gentlemen the true spirit of narcotics. The weird, tortuous methods of Light er, the double cross, .the taint of the legal prof cssion- that is the et fect of the narcotic evil. "If Lightner was innocent, why did be flee to China? Evrr since man has itihabitated the world, it lias been a guilty conscience that has driven him to flight." Obituary. William S. (iiiffis. OnHON CITY. 'Or., Nov. 27. fSpecial ) William S.
