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.

BROTHERS ADMIT
HOLDING HEIRESS
I'J RANSOM PLOT
i
(Continued from Page One.)
two brothers were Involved, though
they admitted an "outside possibil
ity" ihat two other persons might
be brought Into the case.
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.

NOEL BENSON IS
T PRESIDENT
By BILL ClPVirNOB
Political conditions returned to
normalcy again at the senior high
school when 163 students went to the
polls in last Friday's student body
elections, and Chose Noel Benson,
prominent Junior and Hi -Times busi
ness manager, their pre&ldnet for the
1033-34 school year. 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.

Medford. Mrs. Banks said she gave
Prescott tho letters and he tried to
force his way in. Banks shouted.
'Look out!' and she Jumped back.
"Mrs. Banks said: 'Prescott was
trying to break Into our .Home. We
had to shoot.' "
