and Lonergan drew spontaneous
bursts of appreciation and enjoyment
from the crowd and Judge Skipworth
had to Instruct the bailiff to main
tain order.
Shangle identified pictures of the
Banks residence, the door through
which the bullet passed, the interior
of the house and other routine pho
tographs which were submitted as evi
dence.
A shudder swept through the press
tempted to serve a warrant on him
March 16 at his home. The defense
answered that the former editor was
'a cornered creature," who, over
wrought by county officials who had
persecuted him, slew the constable
as a defensive move to protect his
home. The trial, now in its fourth
day, was moved here from Medford
on a change of venue.
Defense attorneys, reviewing Banks'
life, disclosed that he had made and
lost several fortunes. Born in Ohio
and raised on a fruit farm, he en
tered the fruit distributing business.
There he successfully built up a for
tune, but lost it In the panic of 1007.
He went to Riverside, Cal., where he
acquired possession of a citrus ranch
of 1000 acres. The defense said that
Banks fought with an association
that purchased from producers at
what he believed was an unfair price.
Center of Quarrels
He came to Oregon in 1921 after
having loaned a Rogue valley orchard -1st
926.000, In Jackson county he
paid 200,000 for 650 acres of orchard
lands. Banks quarreled with a pack
ers' association for similar reasons he
had found in the south, the defense
declared, and this was the beginning
oi a series or disputes that spread
when Banks acquired control of a
Medford daily newspaper and reached
its climax in recent months in a
county-wide storm. In thost last
months Banks demanded the whole
sale resignation of county officers
ana organized the "Good Govern
ment Congress" to work toward that
goal.
Ballots Stolen
..' On the eve of a recount to de
termine the legality of the election
of Sheriff Schermerhorn, whom Banks
had supported, 10,000 ballots were
stolen from the county court house.
Bankst was one of mote than a score
Indicted in this connection, and it
was when Prescott attempteo to serve
the resulting warrant that he met
