No Exaggerations Permitted In Any of My Advertisements BEN LEADING FlllGH'S FATE WITH JURY (Continued from Pa One.) tiow the hootin wai done,Ma recalled yrd'a atatement that ha "had forgot ten to prova that FJnch waa 'jhd. d." altbotigh Finch hlmaelf had aald ia uaed hla right hand In ahootlnf '"Then If yhii wera watching the desk -where Finch la Bitting," eald tha speak r. "yon could have een Finch change pencil from hla rlfht-hand Into the eft,7 although he has been velng hla right hnd all through the trial to write ttheae bundle of note that hla attor neys hava argued from." i1 Mr. FlUgerald began speaking at Tl:25 o'clock, first reminding the Jury iof ks duty under the law. lie ridiculed Lord aUtemeot that the .latter -was getting no fee. saying "he would not be 'surprised if In a week or two Lord pre sented his bill to that little woman out In tha hospital." The speaker referred to the work of Fisher as bar asaoclation prosecutor, saying that he was trying to do, hla duty In ridding tha leal profession of some of the black sheep. Because he did his duty he Ilea In hla grave. '"Finch's attorneys have talked about everything but the fact pf this case.' said the prosecutor. "They have talked 1 about Egypt and the Invention of the art of printing. They think they can befuddle your minds In that way, the favorite way of. criminal lawyers. Aaka rertUeat Question. "Don't you'telltfve that B. A. Rounds told the truth? Finch admits that Rounds rode cm the train with him from Woodburn'into Portland, but doM tint -dare to admit that he told Hounds I'll get that 1 r; Just watch me. But .Rounds has no reason in the world to- speak falsely; He says that Finch talked about the bar association prosecute and when Finch said 'I'll get that - " .' he meant it He carried that threat Into execution only three days later." i Fltgrald dissected the testimony of Finch and the deposition of his wife re- . fating to the burglar story, showing that their statements rndlcally dis agreed He declared that the whole ston ft the burglar was cooked up to ' furnish a plausible excuse for having bougbt a revolver soon before Flshor was ' shot He would not blame Mrs. Finch; for trying to trotect an unworthy 1 husband, for many good women have done that. Kea-rlng to' the testimony of Finch . as to; three drinka taken before he went to Fisher's office, each Um he drank ' Brandy. i "W!y-was he drinking brandv?" asked the prosecutor. "He was filling ' up with brandy to screw up the cour . aire of a-coward. You remember he , took one drink with Charles Downer In Jlometsch's. By that time h was get ' ting well ' filled up with brandy nnd 'braggadocio, and he told Downer, The . next time you see me I will be in jail.' " Fisher did pot invite Finch to his office on the day of the murder, said the i speaker. That Was a fabrication, more manufactured evidence. Idleman, Gran; nd Figgott had In turn tried to Ki t - Fisher to sign the Finch reinstatement retitloh. and faired.' ' Thev had told Finch that the prosecutor had made up his mind not to sign it. It was nut reasonable, to believe, in the face of tliis. that Fisher was inviting Finch to vlsiT him. .;; i ' - - Cite rtrjrotfa Srtdenee. ' "Besides all this, Piggott testified that when Finch went up Into the Mohawk building be was out circulating .the pe tion. and Finch did not have a copy of It with him.- , T ' Riddell, Finrti' office man. was re ferred to 'as "Finch's man Friday," and it was pointed out that while Finch tes tified that he gave KlddeU enough dic tation to keep him buey until Tats in the afternoon when Finch left his of fice for Fislier's, the testimony of Bid dell showed that he was taking die iUon on th typewriter, and bad no oirtation ahead. f - The prosecutor made effective use of ti si tempt of the defense to impeach l-turkhart. and their failure to do He w. in over the scene of the shoot H rapliy. showing again the state's theory -f how the shooting was done sd pointing the inconsistencies of I im-n a story. . .- i -He said llello. F.afph' Just befor he ' that r.uiiuig bulit laid . Fiahers brain, because he wanted FUher to know that It was James A. Finch who shot him' said Fitzgerald. Revenge la sweet, and It would have been less sweet if he had not let Fisher Vnow who it was." Fitzgerald said it- was remarkable that Finch, in hie "daaed condition" af ter being struck by the seal, could re member everything; that would work in his favor, nothing that was againat him. He said the evidence was con vincing tnat Finch first feigned In sanity, and that the reason he as sumed this attitude was becsuse he In tended to plead Insanity. Finding that would not do, he f lrat told the story of a struggle,- of a revolver pointed at him over Fisher's shoulder. Seeing this "would not avail, he concocted tha story of the seal and the Injuries on his head and person, -aided by a "gang of Jail birds." . JTo Time for Qafbhllng. V "tfr Lord', says he will stand between poor Jim and the law and everything else," said the speaker, with biting sarcssm. "I say it is time now to let Finch and the law meet This Is not a case for compromise or quibbling. The eyes of the people of Portland are on ?ou, this jury, and you owe a duty to ha cltisens of the state. This Is m or der in . the. first degree, and nothing else.1 Not until late vesterdav aftarnann' nnd last night did Attorney Lord for the defense buckle 'dbwh to the real argument of the case. - Up to that time ne declaimed about vunjuattoe"- and merited the pitiful circumstances off the ueienaanrs silver - haired mother, shouted denunciation of the state for failing to produce Fisher's revolver, praised the defendant's early career, and carried out the farce of weighing the names of witnesses in a nalr of scales. But late in the afternoon, for the first time, as it seemed. Lord real. ised that he was losing ground and must get down to solid substance. Close observers in the courtroom had little difficulty In determining what changed this aimless wanderlnar tn an argument directed to the vital points of the case. It was again the hand of Finch himself that had taken charge through his proxy, Lord, Finch was continually busy with his pencil, and dosenn of sheets of sug gestions were hurriedly sketched by him while his lawyer talked on. These aheeta were nasserf tn Lord and ntuiH by him as the argument progressed. It w irora inese notes or t incn that the moet of the pertinent argument origi l.o rd at a toss. Lord was unable tn areonnt tnr tha seal having been found in a compart ment of Fisher's desk, with the pigeon hole door plosed. He merely said that the seal must have been picked up from the floor by somebody and put in the pigeon-hole. jrrom the posltlbn of the bullet holes the attorney argued that Miss Burkhart wan mistaken as tn what ah. . vr' sal4 he did not think she intended to give i.i.a lesumony. . nut tnat she was ao excited bv the combat that a).. aa not know what took place. Lord argued at length on what he termed the Impossibility of Fisher hav ing fallen as he did and overturned his chair. He said that a man who is shot collapaes. and that had Fisher been sit ting in his chair when the fatal shot was fired he would not have fallen from th chair. The speaker said that It would be particularly difficult to over turn a revolving chair, and that It could not be thrown over unless he were standing up, reaching over for the re volver Tn the back of his desk drawer, as Finch teatifled. Lord-then drew an argument from the smoke of three-revolver shots. He said that had Miss Burkhart stood at tho door when the shooting began some f the smoke would have escaped into the outer office, but none was seen there by those who flrst entered the room. , i Testimony Zs Xldden, The lawyer spent much of Ms time In denouncing the state or concealing testlmonq," referring to the failure to offer the Fisher revolver in evidence, despite the. fact, that Judge Bronaugh declared that if the revolver were of fered it would not be competent, so far as he could see. , . ... '."This is premeditated" Injustice." he shouted. "It Is. the first time in the "'tory of the county that I ever heard that the prosecution has been guilty of holding back evidence favorable to a defendant. Khame, on you, Mr. District Attorney! Bhame on youl Tou are not ermng Jim a fair chanon,' You- are keeping out, evidence that, would help poor Finch. But I don't believe that you gentlemen of the jury wiu be a party to such low, diabolical, double dealing. Put your hands on your hearts and b men. This savors of Dreyfus, of Russia, of the inquisition, and I can, scarcely -believe that the dlatrlct atter-l ney would do auch an ungodly thing." Lord argued that . Miss Burkhart's testimony waa balanced by the evidence of Finch; that the corroborative testi mony of the state was Inconsistent, and that the net result of all was a failure to give the proof necessary for a ver dict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Praise for Spenoer. ' - Lord SOUSht to natch nil the Imnrea. slon that he evidently feared had been created by the savage talk of hla as sociate, Moicomo, in referring to Ai C. Bpencer, special prosecutor. Holcomb had denounced Bpencer as a "railroad hlrelinr and a "skunk." Lord told the jury that Bpencer Is a "nice young man" and a "good Uttl? lawyer, sincere and earnest.' .It was 10 o'clock last night when Lord brought his day's effort to a close, and -then only after he had ' been In formed by the court that he must fin ish by that hour. To, this exercise of the court's discretion m forcing him to Stop talking. Lord took an exception. In his final flourish Lord made an Impassioned plea to the jury to allow Finch to return to his poor old mother and sick wife, giving the benefit of doubt to the defendant. "You cannot face your families at home and your friends on the street un less you do," hald. "Tou need not be afraid of the criticism of the press. Give him the generous treatment vou would want for yourself, an let him live bin allotted time on earth." SELLS HUGS oraiiisiiLA W. M.
