VERDICT ON BANKS HAS APPROVAL OF MEDFORD CITIZENS General satisfaction with the ver dict of the Lane county jury of five women and seven men, who Sunday afternoon after 23 hours deliberation returned a verdict of guilty of second degree murder, sgainst L. A. Banks. snd acquittal for his wife, Edith Robertlne Banks, waa expressed to day by Jackson county residents. The verdict came two montha al most to the hour, from the date of the slain official's funeral In thia city. Second degree murder carries with It a mandatory life sentence The filing of a petition asking for a 30 day perfbd In which to file a motion for a new trial was a formal legal move. Circuit Judge Sklpworth an, nounced that sentence would be psssed at the expiration of that tlma. By virtue or the verdict. Banks la In the custody of the Lane county aherlff and will be held In th Lane county jail until removed to the state pent tenttary at Salem. Banks, after th verdict, thanked the court for Its fair and Impartial declelon and handling of the trial. The court throughout exercised groat care and caution In tha case. Dlaclpllne In the courtroom was rigidly maintained, and any attempt ai outburst were speedily squelched, vnen applause broke out at on stage of the trial laat Thursday, the court threatened to clear the court room. The only other applause of th trial came the day previous, near adjournment for th day, when Oeorge E. Obenchaln, of the Central Point dlatrict, called as a character witness, declared Banks to be "the beat man who ever came to Jackson county." Closing addresses of the defense counsel attacked thoae people and organizations against whom Banks, during his Journalistic days, had fulminated vltrlollcally. The general tenor of Attorney Longeran's argu ment waa along the same lines, with the lone exception that he did not attack the "Illegal legal trust." The heavy guns of his wrath were direct ed against District Attorney- Oeorge A. Codding, and his assistant, Oeorge W. Nellson, who calmly aat within arm's length of the defense ace while he thundered his tirade Assistant Attorney General Moody, In his clos ing address, made but passing com ment upon - the attack, declaring It was "a common dodge of defense counsel, aa a last resort to lambast law enforcement agencies, to bolster their own case." Attorney Lonergan also attacked the atate police vigorously, and de clared they would be abolished by a vote of the people. He condemned the state police, "for not having the courtesy to wear their coats while appearing before us," though the stat constabulary members were ap pearing In their aummer uniform, which la without a coat. Attorney Moody at another stage of his speech declared, "the defenae ar gument 1 demagogic, and deals with almost everything but the evidence In th case." Moat of the Medford and county peopl In attendance at the trial, left for home Saturday afternoon fol lowing the closing arguments, the balance returning yesterday and to day. Sentiment In Eugene swung against Banks th last week, though at all times the courtroom spectators were for him, and freely predicted acquit tal. Eugen people were under a constant fir of propaganda, almllar to that circulated here the past two years. One of the most vicious argu ments was that "Constable Prescott "had killed three men."
