For Orphan Aid r -7- p f SI -9 vLitrutna lirORrtfiN WARS ED STATES 1 V A THE DEAD BT Tiynrc living 5$ EUOENF, May 13. Legal strategy of Assiatant Attorney General Ralph B. Moody Saturday afternoon, in ex cusing L. A. Banks from further cross-examinatioh, after asking htm four questions, took the defense by surprise, and alio placed them In the position of seeking further court ae lay, before a wearied jury. , At noon Saturday Banks finished his own rambling version of the cli max to the Jackion county turmoil he fomented In which he admitted firing the death shot, and tried to Justify his deed by testifying that he believed his own life and the Hie of his wife were In danger. Banks was allowed to give his account with out any of the usual restrictions, in order that state and defense alien ists present could study his mental condition. None of Banks' testimony will be given any weight by the Jury- save as to Its bearing upon his sanity. The four questions asked by Attor ney Moody were: Evades Tax Issue. How long has It been since you paid any taxes in Jackson county?" Banks replied, "we paid between 98000 and 910.000 for 1032 taxes." Later under cross-examination, he qualified this statement, by saying that A. J. Blschorf, his confidential secretary, "attended to all financial matters." He was also asked about his non payment of state Industrial accident Insurance dues, and suits arising out of the Black Channel mines, which he and aasociatea purchased from F. A. Bates on a contract never fulfilled. Banks dwelt nt groat length upon the "Bates case" In Friday's session. The state then nuked Banks if all but five of the 30 legal actions pend ing against him were not for money due for labor or land. He reluctantly admitted they were. "In practically every suit filed against you. you have filed an affi davit of prejudice against the presid ing Judge?" was the final query. Admits Prejudice Claims. Banks first denied this, but under close questioning admitted prejudice affidavits had been filed, but with out his knowledge 'in some Instances." Later, he admitted that he was in court, when an affidavit of prejudice was filed against Circuit Judge James T. Brand, and had made no objection. "It waa my position," replied Banka evasively, "that Judge Norton should have heard this case." Banks, in hit? writings, bitterly attacked Judge Nor ton. The state based Its move partially upon the established law theory of "false In one statement, false In alt, Attorney Lonergan for the defense, Informed the court In asking for the recess the defense would finish Us case Monday. The state la expected to take Tuesday for rebuttal, and the testimony of Its alienists. WedneS' day will be devoted to the final argu ments, and instructions of the court, according to the present outlook. Calm Saturday. ' Banks In his Saturday testimony, Indulged In no frenzy, or melodra matic moves, but was calm and cool, though he wore a worried look, and signs of sleeplessness showed In his face. Under the piloting of Attorney Lon ergan, Banks was questioned unui his testimony led to the fateful morn. ing of March 18. No word of regret or remorse came from his lips. Banks declared that "so many threats were made against my life' that I was under guard, whenever went to an assembly of the "Good Government Congress." They were volunteer guards got. no pay. When entered the Armory, the applause was deafening, as the people knew did so at the risk of my life." He testified that County Judge Earl Fehl and Henrietta B. Martin, president of the "Congress" had asked him to attend the meeting at Lake Creek, because "I had made up my mind to go to the mountains for three or four weeks" the next day. A packed courtroom heard Banks on the stand. flM un STATE SALES TAX PORTLAND, May IB. lP) Vot ing down a majority resolutions, com mlttee report that no action be taken on the matter, the Multnomah county Democratic committee Saturday ap proved a minority report opposing the atate sales tax which la to be voted on at the special election July 31.

PERL FUNERAL HOME OFFICE OF COUNTY CORONER SIXTH AT OAKDALE -PHONE. 47 Contributed The laet laaue ot the Medford Hl Timea, official paper of the Associat ed Students of the Medford high school, under management of the present ataff, Bill Cummlngs, editor; Noel Benson, manager; Jack Wood, advertising manager and their effici ent corps of assistants, waa publish ed and distributed last week. This Issue waa one of the newsiest, neatest and best edited of the year and la a credit, not only to the ataff, but to the Medford high school fac ulty and student body. As an evidence of the high type of this publication In the contest for school papers, conducted by the Press club of Whitman college, at Walla Walla, Wash., for this school year, the Hl-Tlmea waa only excelled by three school papers, Benson Polytech nic and Grant high of Portland, and Garfield high of Seattle, for all schools In the Pacific northwest In class A, composed of the larger cities. This is a great compliment to the hi -Times. The judging la for all the issues of the year and not one special Issue. The principal criticism, of the local publications was fo.1 large heads at the bottom of the first page and for not placing the editorials In the column under the mast-head, both of which are merely opinions of the Judges and are not serious criticisms. Opinions of editors vary materially regarding heads and make-up of papers. The Press club compliment ed the Hi -Times, by saying "First page excellent, good type selections, paper has fine news coverage and well edited." Among the Illustrations of the cur rent Issue Is a picture of the cast of the senior high school play, pic tures of Ralph Bailey, Noel Benson, newly elected president of the stu dent body; David Lowry, . Wildon Colbaugh, Max Itae and Lucian Cle merit. The editor for 'the HI -Times next year la Dorothy Gore and Jack Wood is the new business manager. The Hl-Tlmes has been printed by the Commercial Printing department of the Mall Tribune and the manage ment, superintendent and the me chanical force want to take this op portunity to pay their compliments to Editor Cummlngs, Manager Ben son, and all the other members of the ataff directly connected with the publication. They are a clean-cut, gentlemanly class of young people, have been energetic and enthusiastic In their work, and It has been a de cided pleasure to work with them.
