UNFAIRNESS

LAMPOONS LAWYERS, TOO
Contention Mads ssk TlTe Probably
Caused by OasCase Bapeoted to
Go to ?my Today.
Denouncing the proceedings of the
prosecution as "unfair." and branding
the state's principal witnesses. Philip
Davis and Victor Goldstein, as "crimi
nals,' liars, blackmailers and thugs,"
Attorney Dan Malarkey today argued
for- the defense . before the jury in
Judge Morrow's court in the trial of
Ma Albert for arson, '
: Davis, self confessed head snd front
Of the "arson trust, he frequently
referred to as the "unspeakable
Davis, and, stung by the remarks-of
Deputy District Attorney Collar In
the opening argument for the stats
yesterday afternoon, declared that
Collier had been unfair. ,
"When I heard Mr. Collier, 4n cold,
unfeeling, icy tones ask you yester
day to send this man to jail, ray blood
boiled, shouted Malarkey. "His
arguments and assertions were so un
fair that I could not account for them
other than feeling that bis constant
association with Davis and Goldstein
perverted JUs moral sense.
Collier reddened, but maintained his
seat, and Malarkey then took a shot
at Deputy District Attorney Maguire,
who, during the trial, referred to one
of Malarkey's speeches as the "paid
tears of an actor."
"I have dropped no tears, "said Al
bert's representative," but if i had,
they would have been tears of indig
nation . on account of an outraged
sense of justice over Ithe way the
prosecution has conducted this ease.
These poor fellows like Albert, who
come from persecuting Russia have
need of a defender, God knows, when
the immense power of the great state
of Oregon Is arrayed against them to
niiroaa mem to u penitentiary.'
Maguire grinned, and - Malarkey
turned on him., "Grin, he yelled,
pointing an accusing finger at Ma
guire. "Grin! The proceedings of
this entire trial has been marked by
grins, smirks. Insinuations and inuendo
to poison the mind of the jury, and
there is nothing to grin about when
s man's liberty is at stake."
Oas Declared Cause of Ttre.
Then Malarkey got down to " argu
ment. He declared that the evidence
left grave room for doubt regarding
tbe origin of the Sax & Son's fire, and
gars it as his opinion that gas was
tbe real cause. He pointed out that
the testimony offered by Goldstein to
corroborate that of Davis, did sot agree
except tn a general way, and- sub
mitted that no evidence had been
shown that Albert was near the scene
of the . fire which he ts not charged
with having assisted to set.
This afternoon Mauire will make
the dosing argument for the state and
the case which has been hard fought
for virtually two weeks will go to the
Jury before night.
; Conspiracy Asserted,
In the opening statement to the. jury
yesterday afternoon. Deputy District
Attorney Maguire for the state, re
newed in brief the ease against Albert,
and summarised tbe situation by say
ing evidence resulted from a "falling
out of thieves." Among other things
he referred to oil soaked shirts found
by firemen in the 207 First street store
of Sax a Sons, immediately after the
rire ox August 5, 1112. These men, he
insisted, conspired' to burn - the store
to secure the insurance. He then de
clared that the Saxs carried ordinar
ily . $8000 Insurance, but in July in
creased it to $$000, less than a month
before the fire. He took up Davis'
confession, and plea of guilty to the
charge in the indictment, and followed
by a review of Davis story that he had
hired Albert to arrange for fire, and
that the Saxs paid each $200 for the
job. ".
