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."
