r
George Joseph'sjOisbarment
Proceedings Brought
To End Here
' (Continual from Page J.)
Justlco JohuL. Hand. He chat-Red
the defense wlrh introdut-inK no
testimony at all In support of
J::any of the HiaritPH made in
thore addresses with reference to
partirula:- court cUrislons which
Joseph had referred to in attribut
ing improper influence to Judge
Rand.
Taking op the McBride fharrpr.
he asserted that do claim of
"privilege" could be made in
those because McBride was not a
candidate In an election. Pie
aid" "They charge that Justice
McBride sold two decisions of the
supreme court. The truth of the
charges was disproved and the
Stood nam of the justice has been
cleared of slime, beyond reason
able argument."
Comlit'a Charges Are
Harshly Condemned
He scathingly condemned Con
di', the leadiug witness for the
defense: "You saw him squirm
and back and fill when we tried
to pla him down as to definite
times. No Judge would do what
f'ondit says McBride did the first
time be met an utter stranger.
Kvery person other than Condlt
denied his story. There was no
proof of a single delivery of 11
uor to Manniz or McBride. Con
dlt la a consummate liar, a rep
tile." He referred to McBride as
the "grandest old man on the
court."
"Contrast the honesty of Mc
Bride, when on the stand, with
that of thia common bootlegger."
Mr. Thompson declared that he
thought In 1927 that It was the
duty of the court at that time, on
Its own motion, to cite the Tele
gram for contempt and to start
disbarment proceedings against
Joseph. He denounced the Jo
seph attempt as designed to un
dermine the confidence of the
public in Its supreme court.
John Carson Reviews
Iw Involved in Case
John Carson of Salem, spoke
for 40 minutes before lunch and
a short time after the hearing
resumed. His portion of the ar
gument was a review of the law
in the ease. He quoted many de
cisions In similar cases In Oregon
and other courts. He said the
brief charge of the prosecution
was that Joseph had made false,
malicious and scandalous accusa
tions against Justice Rand, the
entire supreme court, and Justice
McBride.
John C. Veatch opened for the
Joseph side. He pointed oat that
there was no evidence connecting;
Joseph with the publication of the
articles against Rand In the Tele
gram, and claimed "privilege" for
the radio addresses and circulars
of Joseph during the election cam
paign. He referred to the Wemme
litigation as "as black aa any in
the history of the state." "Read
the whole black trail and yon will
find the name of one attorney,
and the name of one man, Wickey,
who Ui rough chicanery and fraud
acquired property he was sworn
to protect." He asserted that all
the character witnesses against
Condlt'were persons who had had
trouble with him, none was un
biased. Haney Make Strong
Appeal fof lie fen e
Bert E. Haney closed for the
defense. His speech was brief but
marked with passages of appeal
( and even eloquence. Referring
to Mr. Joseph as one who had
practiced law in the state since
1892. a man of as good reputation
as any lawyer in the state, be
said he had a personal interest
because he had gone in and out
of the same office door with him
for 22 years. "It is a duty and
my privilege now to say some
thing in his defense." He stated
that the question was not of the
absolute verity of the Joseph
charges bat whether Joseph was
justified in believing them.
"When be saw the large estate
left in'trust for charity by an old
friend taken away from the
churches, when he saw the Rand
option for $300,000 on a mine to
Mannlx and Wickey who were in
terested in the Wemme case, what
was Joseph to do? What was
Manniz going to buy the mine
with."
With reference to Condlt cred
ibility he challenged:
"Condlt a bootlegger , say
counsel. t ;
"Bootlegger to whom, say I."
Xeppach Is Attacked
As "Confident Tool'
He referred to Anthony Nep
pach as a "confident tool". He
cited corroboration in testimony
regarding the liquor furnished
Mannix. With reference to the
clash in the testimony between
Condlt and McBride and his
daughter regarding the presence
of Mrs. McBride at a dinner,
Haney thundered: "It Is not im
portant whether Mrs. McBride
was. there; it was important that
McBride was there and Condit
was there."
Oscar Hayter, of Dallas, closed
for the prosecution. While rath
er 6low in presenting his argu
ment, he was lucid and forceful
in arranging his facts. He
brought up particularly the cor
rupt practices statute, which he
claimed Joseph had violated. He
said also: "The allegations as to
McBride are scandalous and lm-
