TIMBER PRODUCTS COMPANY End North Cenlral-'A Good Firm to Trade With" Phone 7 STATE TESTIMONY L (Continued from Page One.) self defense, and "persecution," and mitigating circumstances." The questioning to date has indi cated that the dofense will contend that Banks acted under mental stress in the belief that he was persecuted, to the point of desperation; that followers had told him of alleged threats against him, and will attempt to show mitigating circumstances, In justification of his act. Friends of the accused man here, say he refused to permit his counsel to use an insanity plea. Questioning of the Jurors by Attorney Charles Hardy of Eugene, and the opening statement to the Jury of Attorney Joseph Hammersloy of Portland, hint ed strongly that the defense would stress the plea of "persecution." Cross-examination of state witnesses by Attorney Frank, J. Lonergan of Portland, has been along the same lines. Hamersley, in his address, de clared in outlining the history of Banks in Jackson county that the de fendant waa "harraased by powerful interest." The state today had Introduced damaging testimony against Banks, including the threat letters to the authorities, refusing to submit to arrest, . and tho testimony of E. A. Fleming, Jacksonville orchard 1st, a visitor at the Banks home on the morning of the murder on "Good Government Congress" business. As the trial progresses. Banks has regained some of his old confidence, and lost the subdued demeanor that marked him during the brilliant ad dress of Assistant Attorney General Moody to the Jury. Mrs. Banks how ever, la still serious, but brightened Friday at times and chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Moran of Cleveland, Ohio, kin here for the trial. Banks Friday morning talked with newspapermen and shook hands with several of them. Asked how he felt, he said, "fair." He then made some Qasual comment about the rain and returned to his seat in tho court sanctuary. Eugene la considerably Interested In the trial, but not intensely. There are vacant seats at the morning ses sions, but the courtroom Is packed in the afternoon hours. The specta tors are pretty evenly divided as to sex, with probably a few more women than men. Double Features At Studio Today "Rome Express," the picture which has been the sensation of London for the past two months, has been brought to America, and will be seen at the Studio starting today, takes ? place In a twelve hour period on the I express train bound from Paris to Rome. Esther Ralston and the internation al star, Conrad Veldt are featured : in "Rome Express."

William Lee, proprietor of a marine railway and boatyard, wltft whom the stolen child's father was associated in business and upon whose yacht "Bob" occurred many of the strange happenings of the past three days, waa back at his home, shaken and torn from the strain. Admit Ransom riot Police had in their possession a statmtnt from Kenneth in w.hich they said he admitted his part in the crime. The older brother, frankly admitting his participation as the go-between, protested his Innocence of any intentional wrong doing. The two were arrested near Ken neth's home here this afternoon. Only a short time before Cyril had been brought back to Harwich port from Woods Hole, where with other principals In the case McMath and Lee among them be had undergone an all-night examination by polios. It waa the long and wearing Interro gation which brought the "break" that led police to the solution. Then with startling speed the case moved to Its denouemont. Strange Story Bared It was a strange story that finally took form as t,ie loose ends were gathered together from a multiplicity of sources the facta gathered by the police, the statements grudgingly pulled from the men under arrest, "Peggy" Smith's straightforward and simple story of her experiences and from others who played brief parts In the four days' drama. Tuesday afternoon two telephone calls paved the way for the kidnap ing. One was to the McMath home and asked that the telephone receiver be left off ten minutes while the telephone line was being tested. The other was to the school in which "Peggy" was a pupil. The caller said he was her father and wanted her dl missed when the "chauffeur" arrived. At 2:10 a car driven by a man who appeared to be a negro drove up to the school. The child was released and taken into the car, which drove away.

The utmost confidence was shown in Benson's executive ability, as he was the fav orite of 134 of the voters, the other 19 casting ballots for the only oppos ing candidate, Joe Pierce. Benson's election was the most decisive In the school's history. Results of the entire political con test wore marked by wide margins with the exception of the choice for song queen, which resulted In a tie between Pat Carlon, Junior candi date and Mary Kom, sophomore con testant. The two came to the front of what is said to have been the best field of song queon candidates In years, to net 44 votes apiece. Alene Ray was supported for the office by 39 students, while La Murlo Beck re ceived 23 votes. A tie for song queen presents a new difficulty and it la not decided how the decision be tween the two will be made. It has been suggested that both candidates be given the office, so that there would be two song queens instead of one. In the vice-presidency election, Russell Brown was chosen over Sam Kroschel and Bill Prenttcp, polling U7 votes. His two opponents received 34 and 19 respectively. Brown will probably find the dutlos of tho vloe presldency Increased over those of former years, as there has boon talk of giving the position more respon sibility In the future. The office of business manager went automatically to Luclan Cle ment, the only candidate on the bal lott, although there were seven votes written In for Claude Hoover, four for Galen Knox, and one for Bern ard Matthews. Clement, who has been highly commended for his busi ness managership this year, was re elected by 137 votes. Ethel Single proved the favorite candidate for the office of secretary with a total of 68 votes. She was given close competition by two other we 11 -supported nominees, Louise El rod, who received 43 votes and Mar garita Boyle, who received 40. Ansel Knox, lone candidate for the position of treasurer, was automatic ally elected with 160 votes. Wayne Harris' name was written in once for this office. The property managership went to John Millard, who garnered 78 votes. Leonard Hober polled 07 for the same office, and Bob Oall 10. The race for yell leader was a write-In affair, aa Lowell Kuehnlo, single nominee, was forced to with draw due to the uncertainty of his being here for tho 1033-34 season. Bob Gail was given almost unanimous support for the office, as his name was written in 130 times. Four other candidates who received one vote apiece for the position were Pat Car lon, Dick Slecter, Alfred Randies and John Koppen. A precedent of long standing was shattered when Dorothy Gore was elected second girl editor of the Hi Tlmos with a total of 94 votes. John Wilkinson received 41 crosses in his favor, and Helen Crane 17. The editorship of the Crater maga zine went decisively to John Snider, as 01 marks wore put before his name. Colin Gould took 59 of the re maining votes for the office, and Jeanne Hamilton was given five write-ins. iC I HAS ALL MEDFORD jfj 1 IPi rJuM I Jff "r S THE WORLD I !
