Swales, minor JJ student, with a statutory offense, re- O turned a verdict of not guilty. John A. Collier, Portland attorney associated with J. H. Hailett of .the local bar for the defense, created some dramatic moments In closing the argument in behalf of Mr. Dunn. Paying his respects to the state's at torneys, he declared that he consid ered that John Baker, district attor ney of tae county, had pursued a fair I O course in preliminary proceedings, but I O he criticised Mr. Baker for deliver- fl ing the direction of trial of the case j g to Barnett Goldstein, ex-deputy United States district attorney in Portland. Mr. Collier arraigned Mr. Baker severely for permitting the vis iting attorney, as he declared, to sup press the testimony of two witnesses called before the grand jury which brought the indictment, but who were not called by the state in the circuit court trial. Mr. Collier declared that he had watched Mr. Baker in hiR opening argument to the jury and that he believed that the prosecuting attorney was impressed with the in nocence of the defendant. Pronecutor Is Censured. "His heart is not In the case," said Mr. Collier, "and it is my belief that John Baker, were he on the jury, would return a verdict of not guilty." While he excused Mr. Baker, re cently elected to the office, for lark of experience, he held him technically at fault for Mr. Goldstein's action, which h! declared a stench in the nostrils of law-abiding citizens. Theodora Jemison, wif of the uncle with whom the Swales girl has been living, was one of the witnesses appearing before the grand jury. She was not called by the state. Attorney Collier cited testimony showing that the Swales girl had slept at the home of a neijrhbor, Mrs. Sarah Brollier, during the absence of the aunt, and while the alleged offense was said to j have been committed. Witnesses tes- 1 titled that the girl had gone to theiO Jemison home on the nigrht of the alleged offense immediately on leav ing the Dunn home. Mrs. Brollier testified that the girl appeared much distressed on arriving at her home, although witnesses who had seen the girl at the Dunn home. Immediately after the time in which the act was alleged to have occurred testified that she did not appear dis- neveied or display any unusual emo tion. Girl Held PrUonrr. Mr. Collier Intimated that the charges had been brought against Mr. Dunn to divert suspicion from the guilty person. He cited testimony to show that the girl had been kept virtually a prisoner from the day the complaint made to the dis trict attorney until the trial, and that Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, state agent in behalf of women, was de nied the privilege of seeing her, al though District Attorney Baker had written the Jemison couple, granting such request. Attorney Goldstein. In his ardent appeals for a conviction, painted ttie defendant in blackest terms, declar ing that other children should be re lieved of his menace. He grew elo quent in painting the lot of the young girl, for whom, as he declare, only death remained. He answered the charges of Mr. Collier against him self by characterizing them as stock in trade of experienced attorneys for the defense.
