Jack Justice slaying trial
moved swiftly toward jury delib

of District Attorney James Bain,
which started late today, were ex
pected to be completed in tomor
row morning's session.
Charles W. Robison, defense
counsel, claimed today the state
had not proven Justice guilty of
hiring Leo Hall, convicted of the
Erland Point mass murders, to
kill W. Frank Akin here in 1933
and asked that no compromise
verdict be returned. :
He said the death of Akin "was
one of political intrigue." Akin
was special investigator for the
port of Portland at the time he
was' shot in his apartment three
years ago.
District Attorney Bain denied
the slaying had anything to do
with the investigation and said
"the report of the port proved
there was nothing criminally
