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. Kelly, Medford attorney,
was the state's second witness of the
day. He said he had arrived at the
Banks home after the killing and
just before Banks was arrested.
Kelly said he had wiped the blood
off the face of Officer O'Brien ana
had taken splinters of wood out ol
O'Brien's eye. Kelly Identified the '
bullets used as soft-nosed bullets oi
the hunting variety.
Court was to be resumed at 1:30
o'clock with a one-hour recess be
tween 2:30 and 3:30 during the fun
oral of W. 8. Levens in Salem. Lev
ens was the state's chief prosecutor

geographically and Industrially,
"Such a body would be a channel
through which the business commu
nity could express Itself to the gov
ernment," Roper said, "and would,
at the same time, supply the gov
ernment with the most experienced
amines advice as to the proper ways
-if stimulating and reviving the busl
rns of the country. It would be i
-dy able to supply experienced ad

It would also serve as an agency
.lirough which there could be turned
back to business Its proper responsl
blllty for effecting through Its own
organ leattona those measures which
had received the approval of the government.
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.
Miss Funk BetterMiss Enid Funk
of the forest service, who has been
111 at the Sacred Heart hospital, was
reported in a much improved condi
tion this morning. Emma Hageman,
who recently underwent an operation
for appendicitis, was also improving
today.

He made application for a passen
ger wishing to make the trip to Port
land today and found that all space
was taken.

nesses was expected today, since two

and orchardlst. It Is In connection
with this slaying that Banks and
his wife are being tried.
Went With Prescott
O'Brien testified that he went with
Prescott to serve a warrant issued
after Banks was Indicted with sev
eral others in connection wltti the
theft of ballots from the Jackson
county courthouse. When Mrs. Banks
opened the door, O'Brien stated.
Prescott put his foot on the thresh

at the constable, O'Brien said, and
fired. The bullet pierced Prescott's
heart.

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

hope a plan may be agreed upon
which will bring about a definite ex
