'I1 III OF ORRIS IS NE1IIIG END; DAY FOR DEFENSE ROOSEVELT WOULDN'T ACCEPT Case of Former Cashier of Ore- gon Trust MayvNot Reach Jury Before Wednesday Odds and Ends Jake Time. .. .. H m Little more testimony remains to be presented by the state In the trial of W. Cooper Morris, accused of embesallng H36.000 from the Oregon Trust A Sav ings bank while he wa cashier of that institution. A few odds and end will be completed, and B3- E.' Lytle, who was vice-president ' and ; director, ;' will be called to show he did not. authorise any District Attorney Charles S. Whitman; j of the transactions on ' Which the case who said this, supervises , the handling; of more criminal cases yearly than any . ' nt her orosecutinc attorney In the world. He was speaking of the resolution In the United .States senate to appoint a com mittee to Investigate "third degree' methods, and another bill before the New Tort legislature which goes een farther and bare as competent " testi mony the statement of any police offi cer as to any admissions made by a prisoner. . ... i'-'i "While I am unalterably opposed to 1 the proposed Uw In New York. I shall ever fight against the terrible third degree.' I believe that a - statement; made voluntarily by a prisoner at. the time of hie arrest is competent testi mony. Hut ? coniessiona wrung itou prisoners by mental or physical torture should never be allowed'to go before a "jury, and never shall while I am dia- trlct attorney." ' Old time detectlvea around ; central headquarters received District Attorney Whitman's ultimatum with a sneer. The "third degree" in all its brutal deli " cacy has been reduced to a, science In , New York, and in Its coarser ramifica tions it Is used all over America. It was the hours and hours of physical torture Inflicted on William -Sayler by Atlantic City , police In an effort to make him .confess the murder of Jane Adams, whose body was washed Up near the il,0o0,800 pier in February, that caused Senator Heyburn to introduce his resolution In the United States senate. He branded the third degree as "worse than the Spanish Inquisition," and those who know of the mystic ceremony sgree with him." The third degree came, from France. There the mental torture Inflicted on a prisoner 1h so scientifically keen that It has driven many a man and woman to the madhouse. The third degree was reduced almost to a science in New Tork by inspector Thomas Byrnes. The third degree does not necessarily imply that a prisoner is kicked, cuffod and beaten until he "tells all." ' the mental torture often proves j H more eiucaeious meuwa or Btiuurtna a confession. Hunger and lack of sleep l.ave sent many a rnan to the gallows on otinfepsiona extracted from him. by his brutal keepers. Applied la Wolter Case. The recent case of young Albert WoV , tor, the slayer .of Ruth Wheeler, who waa misiniilteil. fttranfirled and burned. Is the latest example of barbaroua or ilea I treatment. For 60 hours after tjse girl's body . wae found Wolter ad neither food, drink nor Bleep, B relays police quizzed him. to hinges. .The prosecution expects olose Its case by noon tomorrow. Probably a day will be required by the defense ; to present Us teatlmony, and It Is unlikely that the case , will reach the Jury before Wednesday aft ernoon.. -, Early tomorrow , v morning judge uantenbetn win rule on the ques tion of admissibility In evidence of a copy or the by-laws or the bank, which the defense claims has not been prop erly" Identified. . If the ruling favors the defense, the state may call other witnesses to secure this evidence, which is necessary In order to prove lack of authority by W. If. Moore and Morris to do what they did without authority from the board of directors. W. Cooper Morris will be the chief witness for the defense. He will take the stand to defend the entries made In the books under h)s direction.'- He will declare there w a no loss of money to the bank. He Is expected to admit fic titious bookkeeping, intended to- fool the public by swelling the cash account. but' representing nothing In the way of hard cash. ; v-.-.,'--:'.;-t..(:V.. r Thex defense wilt ' also 5 claim that Moore and Morris were left to manage the bank by the, other directors and did not' need to consult the: others In the transactions involved in the case on trial. The ability of Morris to explain all these things to the Jury-will deter mine to a large extent what the verdict of the Jurr.wiU be. .. "We are not on trial ; for our system of bookkeeping, but for embezzlement." says Judge M. J. Gordon, chief counsel for the defense. .
