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

& . . -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

T Butcher's attorney said, however, that

- The spirit of adventure, or the preis

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.
CL-CY Chapman said he had a telegram
from Chicago that the first vote on the
national convention of Rotary clubs had
resulted in a tie and Portland had still
a chance for the convention this year.

referendum petition ha, expired, with
nothing done, opponents of the Malar-
key publio - service commission - bill.
passed by the last legislature. announced
today that it is still their purpose to
call a halt on the operation of the law

Ren Rtesland, chairman of the com
mittee having the matter in charge,
has been advised by Secretary of State
Benson and. Attorney General Crawford
as to -the number of names required to
Invoke the referendum and Rlesland said
he will 4ake up the matter of circu
lating petitions at once. The petitions
must bo filed within 90 days from the
time the legislature adjourned and (13
names are required. -
The letter of the attorney general In
reference to requirements of the law
reads as follows
Replying to yours Of the Md instant,
beg to say that as near as I can com
pute the number from the records, it
will take 1817 signatures to place an act
on the legislative ballot at the next
general election under the initiative, and
under the referendum It will lake t
per cent less, or 13S. The statute says:
For the initiative, eight per cent of
the total- vote cast for supreme Judge,
and for the referendum 6 per cent'
"It Is impossible to compute exactly
the whole number of votes cast for
Justices of the supreme court. There
fore, I would suggest, in order to ne
safe, we mignt add a rew more 10 ine
numbers given above. However, that Is
the number which we have figured Is
necessary, and If that number of legal
signers are on any petition, it will be
filed and placed upon the Tiallot."

Of the homeseekera now coming here
the greater percentage wilt go Into the
