Hayter, speaking softly, said
the testimony of the 21 state wit
nesses proved that Rosser asked
Clarence Adams, former head of
the Portland teamster hiring ball
who la under a similar arson In
dictment, to send three men to
Salem to burn the mill.
Robison, In. an impassioned
speech la which he quoted at
length from the bible, said . the
state's case rests largely upon the
testimony of At N. Banks, former
business agent of Salem teamsters
who is serving 12 years in prison
for'paying $105 to Ernest Carson,
John Newlandr and Cecil Moore
to burn the plant. The latter
three have pleaded guilty.
Robison charged that Banks,
who refused to implicate Rosser
in a confession last February, tes
tified against Rosser In the trial
'mo he could get a parole. , -
"We are not trying tbe unions."
Hayter said, "but only the Improp
er use of them. The rackets of an
At Capone shrink into insignifi
cance when you consider the mil
lions of men who might be forced
Into a union. Thla is a case of mo
mentous Importance as to whether

Old Appraisal
May Figure in
Condemnation
Two Estimates Made in
1935 iQfit Mention;
Banfield Heard
Trial to Resume Monday
When State to Rest;
Fee Issue Decided
Two three-year-old appraisals
made of the Patton property
being sought by the state capitol
reconstruction commission en
tered the commission's condem
nation suit shortly before ad
journment was taken late yester
day afternoon until 9 a. m. Mon
day. . .
"Which appraisal?" asked
Commissioner T. H. Banfield,
when questioned under cross ex
amination whether the $32,000
offered the two women owners
of the Patton property was
greater or less than the commis
sion's appraisal.
k "There were several," Banfield
explained.
Says Appraisal Made
For Legislature
The witness then stated that
the offer was less than ah ap
praisal made by the state tax com
mission but said, when asked
concerning an appraisad made, for
.the legislature in 1935. that there
was no other appraisal of record.
.But the legislative appraisal, he
added under further questioning
by John H. Carson, one of the
defense counsel, was "about the
same" as the commissioner's
offer.
Carson then demanded that
both appraisals be produced, say
ing later that cross examination
would - be concluded with their
presentation.,. , J
J. M. Devers, assistant "attorney
general, declared yesterday was
the first time he had ever heard
of the legislature's appraisal.
Banfield testified that he of
fered a proportionately Tower
price for the Patton than for the
adjoining Kay property because
the latter waa "a better ! location
for an apartment house or hotel,
with a vista off across the park
rather than a Tiew only of cold,
bare building walls."
Before Banfield took the stand
for the last time, Judge L. H.
McMahan called counsel ' into
chambers to ascertain whether or
not it was Intended by the state
to show that . the capitol commis
sion had endeavored to offer Mrs.
Patton and Mrs. Charlton "fair
and Just compensation." .If not,
he said, the state bad no case
because it was required by the
constitution not merely to get the
property for the lowest price it
could secure but for a just
amount after reasonable negotia
tion. When Banfield returned to the
stand he testified that he con
sidered $32,000 "a fair market
price and Just compensation" and
asserted "no other consideration
ever entered in."

Klamath Situation Held
!Worst; "Sleepers" Are
Principal , Danger
PORTLAND, Ore., July 8-)-s
A thunder storm, breaking's heat
wave in many sections of the
state, sent Jagged prongs of light
ning Into many of tbe state's for
ests last night, creating more tbaa
half a hundred spot fires.
The most serious blazes appear- .
ed to "be in Klamath county. In
other sections tpa fires were, for '
the .most part, readily controlled.
Reports at Klamath Falls said
a grass fire in the Isolated Squaw
Point region on the west side of
upper Klamath lake threatened a
valuable timber stand, while an
other blaze In the'Bly, section 10.
miles east of Klamath Falls was
burning in a logged-over area.
Sixteen spot fires broke out In
tbe Willamette national forest but
rainfall totaling .21 of an inch
aided fire-fighters. In the forests
Of Jackson county, 13 fires were
reported. Hailstones as big as
eggs fell in the mountain sections
but no orchards were harmed. Of
ficials of tbe Cascade section of
the Umpqua national forest re
ported 14 fires, all of which were
controlled.
Sleeper Fires
Principal Worry
Forest officials generally z
pressed concern over the fact that
lightning sometimes sets sleeper
fires, which do not break out ac
tively for as long as two wetks
and then spread seriously, ....
Late today a crew ot 30 men
was rushed to a cut-over area eev
en miles east of Holley in tbe up
per Callapoola valley, where a fire
bad started in several acres af
standing timber. The blaze also
was believed to have been tbe re
sult of lightning.
' Thirteen fires were set by tie
bolts in tbe Mount Hood national
forest and one, in tbe forks of
Badger creek in the Dufur dis
trict, had reached proportions suf
ficient to cause concern.
