DEFENSE CENTERS PAL OF PRESCOTT (Continued Irom Page One) Conger, Medford undertaker, who handled the body of Prescott. Perl's part In the case was roughly criticized by Attorney Frank Loner- gan, chief of the defense counsel, who forced the coroner to admit he had not taken charge of the weapon used in the killing and had not ex amined Prescott's weapon to see If it was loaded or had been fired. Prescott's revolver was still in Its holster when the coroner Investigated and was later taken by the state police, according to Perl. The rifle allegedly used by bsjiks was aiso taken by the state police despite the fact, as Loner can put It, that the coroner's duty was to take charge of such evidence.' HERE'5 A CLOSEUP OF IOWA FARM WAR FIGHTING EUGENE. Ore., May 5. (AP) A spectacular battle of words enlivened Uhe murder trial of Llewellyn A. Banks and his wife, Edith R. Banks, .here today as Frank Lonergan, chief of defense counsel, and Officer James O'Brien, state policeman, matched wits In cross examination. O'Brien, a detective sergeant of the state police, was the officer who ac companied George J. Prescott to the Banks home on the morning of the Medford tragedy. He had testified for the state Thursday afternoon and his cross examination was continued Friday. Under Hot Fire Every item of O'Brien's testimony for the state was subjected to i withering fire by the Portland at torney, with the officer standing his ground. It was when- Lonergan dropped his demeanor of quiet In terest m O'Brien's answers and sud denly turned on the officer with the question, ' la it not true tnat you arranged the rifle, the revolver and the cartridges on the table where you later testified Banks had placed them" that O'Brien became angered. Denial Entered "It most certainly was nothing of the sortl" he replied heatedly. "I had nothing to do with the weapons except to see them as I entered the room! ' Benton O. Wilson, Medford doctor, who took part In the autopsy follow ing the death of Prescott, was next called by the state and testified, that the bullet wound in Prescott's ham: had been surrounded by splinters ol wood. The bullet had entered thi? constable's body at the shoulder, ranged down Into the body and the pieces of metal wero found under the skin in Prescott's back. Kelly On Stand Col. E. E.

Relieve Pressure. I might also say that such an agency would greatly relieve the ex isting pressure upon the government fleers, said he was wltfa Banks when Prescott appeared at the door. Banks told Fleming he had better leave, he testified. As he ran out the back door he heard Banks shout "Get out" or "Look out," an exclamation that was punctuated with a rifle shot. Frameup Alleged The Jacksonville orchard 1st stated that Banks had once remarked to him before the shooting: "I am being framed on the ballot charges. I have written letters warn ing them (the officers) not to come. They will never take me except over dead bodies, and even then I will be carried out feet first." The trial was removed to Eugene on a defense motion for a change of venue. The defense has set forth that the former editor, who was for months the center of a county-wide political atorm. iViot the officer as "the final gesture of an overwrought mind in defense of his home after having been driven to desperation by perse cution." This persecution, the de fense has insisted, was at the hands of county officials whose resignations Banks had demanded.

Wallace said that the "administra tion of tho new farm bill will be practical and fair." "I have no sympathy with the at tempts to set class against class," he said. "As I se It the farm bill U an attempt to obtain even-handed justice, but It will be a failure un less we can promote the psychology by which all groups will co-operate. "I fully agree that along with rise In farm prices there must be an Increase In consumer purchasing power. Though today consumers are paying farmers for food only about 60 per cent as much as they nor mally should, nevertheless they feel unable to pay more. Of course, after three or four months the Increased farm purchasing power brought about by the operation of this act should decrease city unemployment mate rially, but that may not be enough. I hope a plan may be agreed upon which will bring about a definite ex pansion of city activity;" Mr. SIcole No Better Friends of Wm. O.
