"Tho bitterness and vlndictiveness of tho testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Bunnell show tho malice" nnd de clared that "If the Jury believes tho testimony of Mr. Bunnell regarding a conversation ho said ho had with Hale In the Colon depot at Portland, there Is no uso giving any further consideration to this case." Ho asked tho Jury to analyze the testimony of tho Iiunnells. . Regarding tho Identification by Hale of Defendant Bray, at the scene of tho .'"hanging," tho district attor ney said: "Hale was a sick man, but ho could still see mid hoar. Tho oc casion was a remarkable event in his life, nnd ono to make a vivid im pression on his mind and memory." He wild ho identified Dr. Bray when he enmo to administer aid, in tho ex citement folluwlng his swoon, on the way homo from tho 'party.' Tho Ilray Identification. Ho 'called the attention of tho Jun to tho fnet that Dr. Bray was a chi ropractor, .and continued: "Tho or dinary man would havo fanned him, or thrown water In his fsco, or un bottoned his collar. Instead his head wus Jerked from sldo to side, and his splno was pounded." Moore nsked the Jury to remember that Halo had been fnlr. "Ho testified that ho had tha kindliest feelings towards Dr. Bray because he felt ho probably owed his life to him," said tho prose tutor. The prosecutor said tho attack on the "veracity of Kdmlston" was i fifty-fifty proposition, "betwoen th witnesses for the state and tho do fensn." Ho declared that Mrs. .Tunu Hlnman Van Leuen sliowed "personal hlttornesn"' In her testimony against Urimlston, and "that two othors wore involved In litigation with Kdmls ton's concern." Jllttwni AUbl AUarknL Tho prosecutor attacked tho ollbt offered by Defendant Hlttson, on the grouuds "that It was highly Iniproh. abjo that Offutt, sn auto mechanic and driver nnd owner of a car," would walk 14 Mocks to tho homo of Hltt son on tt night In March." Offutt testified that he had spent the even log up to )1:30 nt tho homo of Hltt son, with his wife and daughter, and that a business contract was signed nt thot time, the sumo being Intro' dueed In evidence. Tho alibi of Howard Hill was also attacked by tho state on tho grounds or "iniprnbahilliy," and that It con tallied "peculiar points." Contending thut no limn with a sick child, "would wait outside a theater, whllo tho doc tor he sought was Inside obsurvlim the picture." Tho statu attorney u,bu conieiiueci "tnero wus too much Unit used n making the adjustments." "There havo been many uimlflcn tinns to this ense " said tho district attorney In closing, "nnd I havo only touched the filgh points, and I want to reiresn your mind of tho prob nblllty of people doing tho pnrtlcu lar thing they did that particular night, Just when they did do It." Ih-fonso Hums I'p. Attorney Walter Wlnslow of Sn lem opened the arguments for tho de fense and paid a compliment to As slstunt Attorney Oenernl Llljcqvlht wlih the observation, "that when he rants nnd yells In closing, tt was bo rn usu ho was nfinld to conio up 01 first." Defense counsel declare,! the stale's conceding that Hale wns lint a reputable cltlscii, -"undermined theli case." , Hale, tho star witness for the slate. wns characterised ns "a moral leper" and a "degenerate." nnd "! shame he Is In tho community." Ho declared "tho word of peaceful nnd law-abiding cllliens was pitted against tha wmd of this moral leper and degenerate," and wild he was "surprised the sov ereign state of Oregon nsked tor con Meilons upon his word." "Tti'i de fense does not concede that H.ile wrts taken out." said Attorney Wlnslow, who ulso charged "that tho indict ment Was false on Its face." "Tho methods employed '.n gelling Hale nut of his horns are tho most preposterous nnd flimsiest I have heard In a long time," said Wlnslow. "Hero wus n man. with telephone In his home, who had done liusi.icss for years who left to nnsuer n long distance, 'plume cnll'-ho dii'n't ln w exactly where It was from, and the man who knocked al his door, he has never been able tn plenllfy. but he could identify men In masks UhdJ robes, at the siene of tho 'hanging.' It's nlno to one the hanging never oc curred. It was a mighty poor ex cuse." HtaUi Caw Flimsy. Winslow declared that the very foundations of the case wero "flimsy' and contested the contention of pros ecutor flint the "party was engineered by shrewd men." Tho defensu chief counsel declared that "Bunnell's attitude on tho stand wus proof of his Innocence," and charged "thot there was four times "" v. Ilray Was scouted by the defense. "Huio testified that ho rocognlzed Dr. mil girl, Tho counsel said Miss Hallcy was a "most outraged girl," and that she had testified In the afternoon, that "tho engagement bad been inutuully broken and the next morning that It was because sho found Hale la his house ut a birthday party with ttu berta Pierce." "Tho defense had to bring It all out to show the morul cowurdico of y Halo," said counsel. Tho defense branded Halo as "contemptible sneak," because Hale bad "cost ah odium on her name damned her character, and hauled her Ino court. - Halo never had a rope around his neck.' It ho had ho would have told anything agulnst any girl.' Tho defenso further charged that tha testimony that members of tho mob had said "we're going to take you back to your babies," was "pteln bunk," und "sympathy stuff." The defense counsel called the attention ot tho Jury to Hale's 10 year old boy, who was a witness, and asked. "Did he look Ilka a baby." The young man Is close to six feet tall. Attorney . Vln3low finished his arguments this morning, and then Assistant Attorney Ocneral LUJeqvlat will muko tho final summing up for tho stuto this afternoon. IH( Crowd In Court. The Jackson county nlghtrldlng cases drew to a close at the Friday afternoon session, und a crowd that filled tho courtroom to overflowing listened to the proceedings. Every soat was taken, tha aisle was crowd ed, and the nido of the courtroom filled with spectators. At tho' opening of court a ruling was handed down thut Attorney A. B. Tleumcs could not testify relative to tho condition of Hale and what he said, after his return from the hang ing, the objection of the defenso wus sustained. : . , Delbert LyoilB, member nnd clerk of tho special grand Jury lust sum mer, was called to Impeach Wm. Of futt. Jr., who testified Thursday. The witness refreshed his memory from the grand Jury records..; objections wero registered by the. defense und the court reporter looked up his notes on the questions asked Offutt when the court overruled the de fense. . Lyons testified Offutt made the statement that he had heard Hill and tho two Kleagles. In which It was said "Hale was lifted off tho ground and was not hurt, but hnd had a fit.' Offutt denied making this statement when questioned Thursday. Lyons wns then questioned regard ing the testimony of M. B. Bunnell regarding tho black robes, which he hud denied. Lyons upheld tha stuto's contention. Tho defenso continued Its efforts to secure tho right to Inspect tho mln utes of tho grand Jury, and tho court ruled tho defoose could Inspect the entire record. Tho wato attorneys said ho had "personal objections" and thought tho defenso should lie restricted to tho testlinouy of Offutt and Bunnell. Sirs. Gaddlg Trotlfict). Mrs. K. C. Oaddls, wifo of the mnyor of Medford. nnd living next to the llnle home, tenllfled thut nbout 10 p. m., March 17, 1022, she looked out of tho window nnd saw "two or three cars driving slowly across the street" from tho Halo house. Dr. Jloffmnn. a former business partner of Dr. Bray's wns rolled to testify regarding tho two J2.00 checks pnld to Ilray by Hill for his visits, as told In his alibi to Hill's home on the evenings of March 17 nnd 13. Dr. Hoffman testified it was under stood nil collections would be turned Into tha bnnk, "but this was not lived up to." Tho witness said Dr. Bray said In hnd received two checks from Hill had used ono of them, nnd gave lllm the other, to make a fair division of alt receipts. Two questions relative to the uses of chiropractor? Wi.-ro held Imcia'.e rial. Mrs. Helen OalcCook former pa tlent nnd nsslstnnt of Drs.

The stale rested after a .ihort re cess. Tho defense recalled Mbs Huberts I'leice to ask If she had -.lot told the grand Jury that Hnlo returned from the "hanging party" nbout 11:16 o'clock.
