FARHAH GUILTY
OF ASSAULTON
BELIEF. LEADER
Jury out one Hour, Decides
Attack was Made Upon
Ellis Purvine
Defense Says Scuffle but
No Beating; Judge to ?
Sentence Tuesday :
A Jury-out-slightly .more than
one. hoar returned a verdict of
guilty Friday at S:30 p. ,xn.
against Max Farrar, tried in cir
cuit court here on an Indictment
of assault and battery against &
Ellis Purrlne. The latter suffered
a stroke two days after the al
leged attack and was unable to
appear at the trial.
Judge L. . H. McMahan an
nounced that he would sentence
Farrar at t:SO a. m. Tuesday.
" The sentence under the Oregon
law is three to 12 months in the
county Jail or a fine of from 1 60
to $500.
The courtroom was t crowded
when the Jury, M. C. -George,
foreman, tiled in to return its
verdict. Farrar Is a member ot
a local workmen's league and had
many-sympathisers at the trial.
A statement that a protest par
ade would follow an unfavorable
verdict for Farrar was not borne
out in developments after the
verdict was returned. Farrar
made no statement and apparent
ly took the decision in 1 good
humor.
Trlndle Declare
Case la Clear Cat
District Attorney Trindle, In
closing the state's case before the
Jury, said the evidence was over
whelming that Farrar had grap
i pled with Purvine and severely
Injured him when the pair met
In the Red Cross offices here last
January. He held Farrar at fault
for Purvine's subsequent illness.
Trlndle reviewed the evidence ot
Maria Wilson, Red Cross secre
tary, who was In the offices here
when the trouble Arose. . --.
- Roy R. HewItr,etendtnrFr
rar, defended the latter before
the Jury as a young man trying
to secure help for a needy, family.
He contended Farrar only scuf
fled with Purvine and did not
atrlke him.
Hewitt laid stress on the psy
chology of the situation, painting
a word sketch of the dislike and
distrust Purvine and Maria Wil
son, Red Cross secretary, alleged
ly had for Farrar and his as
sociates. Farrar Frightened
When Door Locked
He declared that Purvine's
move to lock the door to the
room where be and Farrar were,
while a natural one to protect
himself from supposed attack
from Farrar's associates, logical
ly affrighted Farrar and made
the latter resent an attempt to
telephone the police.
Counsel for the defense said
Farrar's former residence away
from 8alem was no more preju
dicial than was the fact that
Miss Wilson had come here from
Grants Pass to do-her work. He
aid Farrar's "communistic"
views were no more dangerous
than the doctrines ot social serv
ice set forth In the bible.

peak of the engineering profession, but Is mayor of his native city.
The maa who takes ap the reins dropped from the hand of An ton
Cennak, Chicago's murdered executive, was bora in 1870 ia the
city he now rules, of Irish parents. He attended public schools and
night classes until he came of working age. Then' be got the fun

wasn't long at that humble Job. Using ap his spare time in study
ing engineering at Notre Dame university, Kelly was soon on hi
way to the top. An Idea of his progress may be ganged from the
fact that for the past nine years he has been president of the Sooth
Park system of Chicago, and Is also director of a $120,000,000
sanitation district improvement project. He has been called oae ef
the foremost builders of modern Chicago, for he was associated
with every plan for civic betterment ia the windy city these many
