The fate of WllJlam Jena Hasslng, ' i on trial In the lrcuit court for killing -Jhls wife-last rhanksgiving'evenlng, Js now , in the hands of the 12 Jurymen T They took the case at noon, after Pep- uty District Attorney' Fitzgerald bad I- made a strong plea for a first degree ,'' Verdict. ' ' ' ' : . : - '.:''. '' :.' ' Massing cringed under the argument of Fitigerald, and at several points in the speech was near a collapse seem ; lngly.- Attorney Fltxgerald character 1 lzed this attitude as that of a coward, f and not of an insane man. A plea was ' made for the protection. of-ther wives who are having trouble with their hus- bands, and of other women who are ft' beaten by men of low moral courage. ? , The idea of insanity was ridiculed by the district attorney, who said that It I Is high time that a stop be lut to such i excuses for crime. He said that Hass f lng should be hanged by all means. At drooped in his Chair, & . . -r;- ., Describes thm Crime. After reciting the early history of ; Massing, Attorney Fltxgerald told how he had married the woman and prom- ised to protect her. "In the face of this t sacred promise, and the further fact that she was a woman and practically t defenseless, we find this coward be- ginning to quarrel,' he .said. "The quarrels become more, frequent, and it . Is not long until we find this man . browbeating and trying to make her submit to his brutality. Finally we Jtflnd hlrn threatening her life. He is arrested twice for this threat As a fitting climax to his life of cruelty, we have the tragedy of Thanksgiving ev Jj enlng, in which a young and Innocent ' woman is shot down in cold blood. "Any man who strikes a woman Is a I coward. They are worse than cowards, and when brought face to face with 1 justice, try to beg off under the plea - of insanity.' Here is a man Who had a demon in his breast At times It broke - out nd the woman suffered. Further more, the-plot to kill this woman was laid several days before it was done. t We find Hasslng attending the Lambert trial. anl getting ready to plead lnsan ' ity. When he got the chance, he shot - the woman, x Then his first move was to sham Insanity. - ! Makes Appeal for Women. i -"For the protection. of all . women and girls who are In fear of some man w who has a demon in his breast, I ask you to; find such a verdict that will put this man where he belongs. By I, your verdict you will encourage or dls 5 courage crime, and especially wife kill lng. By. your verdict you will save ;sijme other poor woman, whose hus- band Is waiting for a chance to kill her . and plead insanity." Attorney Jeffery made an argument of four hours, concluding this morning at 10;30 O'clock. He dwelt largely upon ... the Insanity defense. Judge Kavanaugh instructed the. Jury particularly on this, I saying thai if they found his Insanity J was in the. nature, of a disease, he could j- not be held responsible, but if hie men tal state at the" time of the kiinng was t disturbed by emotions or frenzy, he was sane. ! WILL NOT PAY ALIMONY AND, AMOUNT; IS RAISED It would have been cheaper for W. A. Butcher to have paid his wife the ell ' mony determined by the circuit court f than to have County Judge Cleeton name the amount. The matter was before i the last named court his morning and - the Judge held Butcher should pay $25 la month.- The circuit ' court had pre- . vlously ordered hlrn to pay $20. I Butcher refused to pay either and is In the county Jail,, awaiting bondsmen. T Butcher's attorney said, however, that . r the man would support his wifet The w couple were divorced one year ago, and ; Mrs. Butcher was to have received $20 esch month. Butcher refused to pay, ; and she told Judge Cleeton. The hus- band was arrested tinder the 1909 non , support law, under which a wife can ; have her. former husband arrested for '. not paying alimony. i ROBBERS WOUND MAN.

V ROADS BODYSPLIT s-As : evidence of av permanent ..break with the Oregon Good Roads association. Which has been rumored, for some time, Judge Lionel R, Webster " caustically criticised the policy Of: tie: association. In a .heated address made before the Retary club this afternoon in the Rich ards restaurant "I am going to speak plainly, straight from the shouldejv.and-so everyone will' understand exactly what I- mean. . "The Good Roans ; association made the greatest possible mistake when Us members urged upon Governor West the. veto of the highway bills, and the gov ernor made 'a great -mistake when- he vetoed those bills. The gentlemen de stroyed the finest piece of legislation we have had in this state for years and gave nothing to .take its place. Judge i Webster reviewed the good roads campaign in the light of the de feat administered to it In the way the legislature treated the bills. He in sis ted that the highway commission and county .Jjondlngbilla should -have ba- come law. He said that Oregon people needed education more than they did money with which to build roads. Judge Webster,, during the good roads campaign, was under salary from the association as chairman of the execu tive committee, His policy had been criticised-by members f -the -associa tion, and Judge Webster today retorted that the association had no Idea either of the worth of the bills or the extent of the effort made to get them passed.
