- MEDFORD MA! I. TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1933. PAGE TTTREE I JUDGMENTS ARE WARPEDJY LIES (Continued from Page One) ' criminal libel In the Wllklns case, that it aleo had no authority to order his arrest and hold an arraignment on the complaint. Officers ' have never contended that the i Ashland .Justice court had authority j to try the caeo, and no attempt was ' made to try Banks there. He was arraigned, and, as attorneys and of ficers declare, Banks knows that he was arraigned under the law, and Is deliberately lying to nis readers when he says the Ashland Justice court had no Jurisdiction In the matter. . ! Hints Fast Work. Banks also gives the Impression to his readers that some "fast work" was accomplished In having Circuit Jude G. P. Sklpworth hear his arraignment on the last two Indictments, brought by the grand Jury, -charging criminal syndicalism and criminal libel. Banks declared in his front page editorial this morning that "Judge Sklpworth was sent to 'Medford to hear the recount case in the contro versy for county sheriff." That is true, it la pointed out, but only half true, as are other ttatements made by Banks. JUDGE SKIPWORTH WA3 SENT TO MEDFORD TO HEAR ALL BUSINESS COMING BEFORE THE COURT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE SHERIFF RECOUNT OASE WAS DIS POSED OP. The grand Jury indictments against Banks, brought In Monday, charging Banks with criminal syndicalism and criminal libel, were brought In while Judge Sklpworth was hearing the re count controversy. IT WAS THEN IMPERATIVE. UNDER THE LAW. THAT JUDGE SKIPWORTH ALSO HEAR THE ARRAIGNMENT TUES DAY MORNING, and had Judge H. D. Norton heard the arraignment. It would have been contrary to law and to court practices. It was pointed out by officials. Duty Under Law. Many members of the Good Gov. ernment Congress were present When the indictments against Banks were brought In, and those members know that Judge Sklpworth received the In dictments. Now, It la pointed out, if these members of the Good Govern ment Congress will take the trouble to look Into the law. they will learn first hand that Judge Sklpworth HAD to hear the arraignment the next morning, and that Banks deliberately attempted to mislead his followers by his Insinuations of "fast work." Banks' statements In this morn ing's paper are recognised by thou sands as Just further evidence that he deliberately alienates himself from the courts and attorneys, and then sets up a pitiful cry that he Is alien ated. His statement this morning that he was considering whether or not to recognize the indictments and the courts la construed by persons about the city and county as deliber ate bluffs, and attempts to Impress his followers, who do not know him Intimately, with hie bravery. Bluff His Policy. Banks has followed this policy of half truth and bluff for years, which has attracted to his following hun dreds of honest citizens who do not know the man intimately. These per sons were recently organized Into the Good Government Congress, under the honest Impression that Banks was telling the whole truth Instead of only half of It. Banks has repeatedly called upon the Good Government Congress to remove District Attorney George Codding and Circuit Judge H. - D. Norton from office, because Banks wants them removed for reasons best known to himself, and the honest members of the Good Government Congress want them removed because they have been reading nothing but Banks' half truths for years. By reading this morning's papers, how ever, at least those who heard the indictments Monday can see for themselves the tactics Banks has been pursuing, and. it is commonly believed, they will be revolted by his tactics when they know the truth, as they can know It by a glance Into the Oregon code, or a wire to the supreme court, and then comparing their findings with his front page editorial. Dahack Case Again. The well-known Everett Dahack case Is again being Investigated by the grand Jury, which calls to the minds of thousands In the valley the misinformation and half truths that have been put out by the Dally News about that case. Ted Smith, Albert Ooetjen and Raleigh Mathews will testify at this hearing. It Is believed, which will be the first grand Jury Investigation that these men have appeared before. Banks has repeatedly testified that the officers prevented these three men from giving evidence at the cor oner's inquest, and at subsequent grand Jury hearings. Such Is not the case, and, officers declare, Banks knows that it Is not the case. The men themselves refused to tes tify at the coroner's inquest, and at subsequent grand Jury hearings, upon advice of their attorneys, When the district attorney sent for the three men to appear before the first two grand Jury investiga tions, their attorney, Charles Reames. refused to let them appear unless a stipulation was entered into between the district attorney and the men that any evidence they might give WOULD NOT BE USED AGAINST THEM IN THEIR TRIALS ON CHARGES OP POSSESSION OP A STILL. Cannot Force Ttestlmony. State laws are plain, to the effect that a man cannot be forced to give testimony against himself. Liquor charges growing out of the still raid are now a thing of the past. Prison sentences have been served, and the men can now appear with out fear of Incriminating themselves. They are being called before the grand Jury, at the request of the district attorney's office, and any Banks fol lower or misled member of the Good Government Congress can further how he or she has been misinformed by seeing either of the three men. the district attorney's office, or Charles Reames.
