A Great Victory
TPHE Banks verdict was a great victory for the itate, and
S nothing short of a personal triumph for Ralph Moody,
assistant attorney general, who directed the prosecution and
determined not only the tactics and strategy, but the basic
principles, upon which the state's case was conducted.
When one considers the trial was held two hundred miles
away from Jackson county, in a community very friendly to the
defendants, before a jury which while GIVING CONCLUSIVE
EVIDENCE OP ITS INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY AND
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, by the nature of things, could not
appreciate the TRUE situation in Southern Oregon only resi
dents of Jackson county COULD appreciate it the outcome
was the more remarkable.
MR. MOODY disclaims any particular credit, and informs
this newspaper that he was .only the medium, through
which the district attorney's office, the state and local police,
and the aroused citizenship of Medford and Jackson county
worked.
In a certain sense, of course this is true. The results could
never have been obtained without the loyal and untiring sup
port which the assistant attorney general received. District
Attorney George Codding and Deputy Neilson, literally worked
night and day, in supplying their chief with the material he
required, and at all times unselfishly subordinated 'themselves
to the cause of justice in which they put everything they had.
The same splendid spirit was displayed by the state and local
police, and by many local citizens particularly attorneys
who without remuneration and at considerable personal sacri
fice, when called upon never failed to do their bit.
BUT the Mail Tribune believes in giving honor where honor
is due, and that honor belongs to Mr. Moody and to Mr.
Moody alone. Without notice or preparation, Mr. Moody was
placed in charge of the case, when by a sudden stroke of tragic
fate, Deputy Attorney General Lovens was removed, and from
that time to the end conducted the prosecution, in simply a
masterful fashion. He received invaluable aid from his staff
assistants, from men in the ranks, but he was the GENERAL
first, last and all the time.
This paper wants Mr. Moody to know that the law-abiding
and right thinking people of Medford and Jackson county
appreciate this, and are deeply grateful to him for what he has
done, the invaluable public service to this community which
he has performed. It is a service they will never forget.
Unworthy Tactics Rebuked
ONE of the most gratifying features of this victory for REAL
law and order, is the stinging rebuke the jury's verdict
delivered, to the sort of defense
Mrs. Banks, put up.
Trioky misrepresentation, irrelevant and abusive personali
ties, and downright perjury were reBorted'to. It is significant
to note that when in his final words to the jury, Attorney
Moody CHARGED perjury, thore was no protest from the de
fense, no rebuke from the court. Every informed person in
the court room knew that oharge was justified.
IN SHARP contrast to the defense taotics, were the tactics of
S the state. Throughout, the state's case was conducted with
dignity, restraint, and in conformity with the highest ideals of
legal practice. Considerable
important was ruled out, but the state accepted such rulings
without complaint. In the face of rambling and immaterial
testimony, the state seldom objected, just let them rave on.
Irrelevant personalities, abusive tactics, on one side COULD
have been matched with the same on the other. There was con
siderable evidence of a personal and damaging nature that
might have been introduced to influence the jury, had the state
eared to open up the records of the past.
OUT the state had a murder case to try, and it was on the
U evidence pertaining to that crime, and that crime ALONE,
that it concentrated. Undoubtedly pressure was. brought to
bear to persuade the state to
doubtedly at times, the temptation to do so, was strong. But
the temptation was resisted, and all right-minded people are

The Banks Verdict.
Conviction of Llewellyn A. Banks
for murder In the second degree a
convlcltton which makes mandatory
a life sentence In the ps'utent'ry
is doubtless as Just an outcome for
Vila unhappy affair as could be
achieved. Nor will tlfe public as a
whole quarrel with the Jury over the
freeing of Mrs. Banks. It has been
obvious from the first that aha was
being dragged behind a man who was
,t least to some extent out of his
hesd. She has been a weak and
fooUsn woman, but life ln the peni
tentiary would hardly be the right
punishment for her offense.
As for Banks himself, when he goes
behind the doors at Salem, It is to
be hoped that It will be for good.
We are aware that he was "beside
himself" when he killed Constable
Prescott. The-perversion of his news
paper Into an agency to fight his per
sonal battles, snd ihls mad leadership
of tho Jackson county schisms, left
no doubt as to that. Those matters
very clearly were taken into consider
ation by the Jury when they return
ed a verdict of second degree Instead
of a verdict of premeditation.
But the fact remains that Banks
did not meditate resistance to the
law as cooly as a man ln that stats
of mind could meditate. He shot
down an officer who had done htm
no personal injury, and who contem
plated doing htm no personal Injury,
and w.ho presented himself at the
Banks home ln the routine conduct
of his duty. A man who could work
himself up to such a heartless and
ignoble crime has no place ln so
ciety. He belongs ln permanent con
finement. That la what the Jury has
dscided. and the jury Is to be com
mended. First degree with the re:

Communications
Defense Lntvyera Condemned
To the Editor:
More power to you. Compatriot,
for your two timely editorials In Sun
day'e Issue of the Tribune, namely
"la Perjury No Longer a Crime?"
and "Lest We Forget.' It la only
right that Oregon at large and the
"distinguished attorneys" themselves
who employed such outrageous meth
ods ln defending Llewellyn and
Edith Banks, should know that the
recent, patriotic citizens ot Jackson
county are stirred up to a high pitch
ot resentment at the tactics employ
ed by the defense and the slander
these, lawyera have put on the rec
ord. ,
The only criticism I have heard
concerning your editorials, U that
you did not condemn these "distin
guished lawyera" atrongly enough.
It was especially amazing, after
Banks had editorialized for years
that defendants should be tried on
evidence and not on character or
reputation, that his lawyers should
utterly Ignore all evidence, and based
their appeal entirely on Banks' own
long-winded court statement of his
alleged character which the Jury
was permitted to listen to on the
understanding that it was NOT evi
dence, but a yard-stick by which to
measure Banks' lnianlty.
And what was this story of Banks'?
Merely a verbal repetition of the
libel, misrepresentation, vindication
and abuse whloh Banks waa unfor
tunately allowed to publish for years
against every publlo offlolal, the
courts, the law enforcement bodies,
all clvlo organlzatlona and scores of
respected private citizens. Finally a
long-suffering publlo and the law
(which had been too good to Banks
Instead of "persecuting" him as his
"distinguished lawyers" claim), had
to take lawful ateps to atop him and
protect themselves and our govern
ment against the actual "revolution"
snd "wholesale bloodshed" fomented
and boldly threatened by Banks.

was appealed to for a decision as to
whether man can fish on the desert.

a divorce on the ground i of mental
cruelty. He complained that his wife
distrusted him snd otherwise msde

she accused him of Improper conduct
with a lady acquaintance, when as a
matter of fact, he averred, he was
on a fishing trip.
But Mrs. Zlllsh Boone countered
thst when she suspected her hus
band's fishing trips, she followed him
ln her car into the Mojave desert.
She said she ssw htm enter a bunga

Four o'clock In the morning, she
said, she greeted her husband as he
emerged from the bungalow with the
remark. "So you call this fishing?"
He sped away ln his automobile, she
said.
Mrs. Boone, entering the bungalow,
told the Judge she found:
uAn amazed lady ln a pink night
gown; one bed: a picture of her hus
band on the dresser: a letter."
"This woman told me," testified
Mrs. Boone, "that my husband posed
as an unmarried person."
Superior Judge Gould, In a stern
voice, decreed: "The court rules that
Mr. Boone was not fishing on the

The presidential secretary started
off doing business with t,he commun

thought they were being socially

radicals who caused ths trouble.
Do not be too hard on Mr. Roose

for writing syndicated newspaper ar
ticles cn the side.
Hotel bills drove him to it.
He called the newsmen Jno his of

the situation to them. He asked
their mercy, hinting that it was all

days to make both ends meet. They

However, one said as he wiped the

State Secretary Hull was the only

was silent and somewhat .morose

Moley will write nothing that will be
embarrassing to the administration.
That also goes for the other officials

Some persons around the state de

They found nothing for their trou

government official could take out

ment costing more than 91,000,000 to

papers, nearly 400 billboards, two
radio programs, station decorations
and novelties will carry the message
of the new motor fuel to every com
munity in Oregon and Washington.

manner, there is no substitute for
