He snnounced that ne would be Mere for fhe duiatlon of the trial and prepared to accept motions and so forth, at any time The expected flllrg of a motion for a change of venu, by at least one of the defendants, did not materialize ai the morning session. None of 'the tenssness that marked ether hearings was notlceabls In the morning proceedings, and when court started sharply at H.30 o'clock, only a half-hundred peop'e were present. Later the courtroom rowd Increased 1 A decision in the motion of County Judge Earl H. Fehl and Suspended Sheriff Gordon L. Schermerhorn to Interview state witnesses held In the eounty Jail, and to Inspect confes sions In the ballot theft cases, will be handed down tomorrow by Circuit Judge George F. Sklpworth. The court took the matter under advisement this afternoon, following arguments on the motion by both sides. Assistant Attorney General Moody, representing the state of Oregon re sisted the motion, declaring: "It la the first time In this state that such a request has been made en behalf of accused men. It la un heard of to expect the state to reveal evidence upon whtch the state relies for conviction." The assistant attorney general sub mitted legal authorities In a brief. The state contended thst the inspec tion of the confessions and state ments might not be material to the two defendants, yet concerning other defendants, and that the revealment of the evidence might place them at ; a disadvantage Attorney A. C. Hough, representing Fehl, presented the argument for the Accused official, who sat in court beside his wife at the morning ses sion. His argument waa short, sub mitting one Oregon decision In sup port of hia plea. The court recessed In mid-morning to allow the state time In which to prepare counter-affidavits in a col lstersl matter. Attorney Frank J. Newman, for Schermerhorn, declared that ft was necessary, "In the Interests of truth and Justice," that the defense have access to the confessions and wit nesses. In order to prepare to meet trfe state's charges. Mccdy declared, "the drfene is on a fihing expedition, to larn what can of the state s case." FEHL'S AFFIDAVIT REFUTED BYW1RE FROM VAN WINKLE Attorney A. C. Hough of Grams Pass, counsel for County Judge E. H Fehl, in the ballot thetv. cues, ad mitted in court this afternoon, "1 have apparently made an error In dic tation, 'n my affidavit relating to my conversation with Attorney Gen eral Van Winkle. The attorney gen eral was referring to what Judge Fehl told htm and not to Assistant Attor ney General Levens. "If I am In error at any time in thia case. I desire to correct It." The court replied; "I know the attorney-general would not lie, and I Know you would not lie. tt is a mlatak The affidavit purport) to claim that the attorney genera) had told Hough, that former Assistant Atto.--ney-Oeneral Leens had reported to his superior, his balief that Fehl waa not involved In the ballot theft, and was being "framed," as Fehl claimed Levena said. Ingfried Holm, secretary to the county court, signed an affidavit that Levens was closeted with the county Judge on the afternoon of April 37; and that he left between four a -id five o'clock. Imputations, contained in an affi davit filed by County Judge Earl H. Fehl, one of the 22 ballot theft de fendants, and involving former As sistant Attorney General William S. Levena, who died suddenly on the eve of the Banks murder trial at Eu gene, were branded "untrue" tn open court this morning by Assistant At torney General Halph E. Moody. The affidavit waa filed yesterday by Fehl in support of his motion for the right to Inspect confessions and Interview witnesses in the state's case. A. C. Hough of Grants Pass, counsel for Fehl, filed a supporting affidavit, which was also questioned. The startling and surprising alle gations In the two affidavits are em phatically and aweeplngly denied by Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle. The accused county official claims In his affidavit that the deceased as sistant attorney general told him in the county Judge's office In the courthouse, on or about Aprli 27, about five o'clock In the afternoon that Levena said "I have been In vestigating the ballot theft cases, and that he (Levena) was satisfied that I (Fehl) had taken no part In the ballot thefts, and that I (Fehl) was being 'framed' as he expressed It, and that he would report the matter to his principal, the attorney -general of Oregon. . . " Attorney Hough in a corroborating affidavit, asserts that on April 30 last he had a conversation with At torney General I. H. Van Winkle in his office In Salem, In which he re cited the "claims of Fehl and the attorney general said: "Ye, that is about what Mr. Le vens told me," or words to that ef fect. Attorney General Van Winkle, in a telegram, embodied In counter af fidavits filed by the state, denies any report from Levena asserting that Fehl was "framed." or that he waa in his office on April 30, last, the date on which Attorney Rough claims a supporting conversation was held. Assistant Attorney General Moody, In an affidavit, declare he waa with his former superior "to within an hour of the time of hia death," and that he at no time mentioned any conversation with Fehl, or intimated that he believed he (Fehl) was being "framed." and had no part In the ballot thefts. The telegram of Attorney General van Winkle, refuting the affidavit or Fehl and Attorney1 Hough, In full. Is as follows: Salem, Ore., June 6, 1933. Halph E. Moody, Asst. Atty. Genl., 1st Natl.

Mrs. Mie Murray and daug-iter Effie Lewis, formerly cloaely 'allied w.'th the or ganization, stood at the north end of the platform, rhey refused to re veal their destination, but It was re ported they were also, going to Eu gene. Neither Mrs Murray nor Mrs. Lewis spoke to thj group with Mrs. Banks, although they all ooarded the same car. .

I did see and talk to htm a day or two later, but did not make any statement to ef fect purported to be quoted by him in hia affidavit. Any state ment to him or conversation with Mr. Levens related to Mr. Levens' earlier Investigation and was not in any respect to the effect stated in said affidavits or either of them. I. H. VAN WINKLE, Attorney General. The essential portion of the affi davit signed by Fehl, is as follows: "That on or about the 37th day of April, 1933, the date being dependent upon my memory, but it being the last day when Wil liam Levens waa In Medford and preparing to depart therefrom to prosecute L. A. Banks in the. trial which began at Eugene on May 1, 1933. the said William Levens came into the office of the county Judge in the court house in .Med ford. Oregon, at about 6 o'clock p. m.. and there told me that he had been Investigating the evi dence In the ballot theft cases In which I am charged as a par ticipant in the Indictment above referred to and that he waa satis fled that I had taken no part therein and that I was being 'framed' as he expressed It, and that he would so report the mat ter to his principal, the attorney general of Oregon ..." The supporting affidavit of Attor ney Hough. In part, is as follows: "On May 30. 1933, I talked with Honorable I. H. Van Winkle, at torney general of Oregon, and stated to him that I had been told by the defendant. Earl H. Fehl that Honorable William Le vens had stated to him. Earl H. Fehl. that he, Levena, believed that the said defendant. Earl H. Fehl had been 'framed', and that he, Levens, believed that the de fendant. Earl H. Fehl. had taken no part and had not participated In said ballot theft, and the said Honorable 1. H. Van Winkle said to me, 'Yes, that is about what Mr. Levens told to me,' or words to that effect." The telegram from Attorney Gene ral Van Winkle waa received by As sistant Attorney General Moody near the close of his argument, resisting the defense plea for the right to in spect confessions, and interview wit nesses: "There are some matters contained In the affidavit of Fehl and Attorney Hough that are untrue, and I drslre to call the attention of the court to them. X at first thought I would pay no attention to them, but after reflection, decided they should not be allowed to pass unnoticed." Attorney Moody then read the tele gram from his chief. The court held that It was Immaterial to the matter of witness and confession inspection, but he would receive and consider counter-affidavits.

The movement for repeal of the eighteenth amendment was one quarter of the way toward its goal to day with Illinois Add eel to the eight states which previously had voted to strike the amendment from the constitution. Thirty-six states are needed for repeal. Today the tenth state Indiana made Its decision at the polls. The state legislature liberalized Its pro hibition laws earlier this year. Bishop James Cannon. a leader among pro hibition advocates, was quoted aa saying before today's voting: "If we can win in Indiana, we can prevent repeal." The Anti-Saloon League su perintendent for that state expressed the opinion that prohibition defend ers had a "fifty-fifty chance." The vote In Illinois yesterday was approximately four to one for repeal. This was the third test In the middle west. Michigan and Wisconsin having blazed the repeal trail. Four eastern states New York, New Jersey, Dela ware and Rhode Island and two western states Wyoming and Ne vadahave voted for repeal of the amendment. There have been thus far no states to vote for the amend ment's retention In the constitution. Before June end six more states will have registered their views on prohibition repeal. The states and the date of the voting are: Massachusetts. June 16. New Hampshire, June 20, Iowa, June 20. California, June 27. West Virginia. June 27. Connecticut, Juno 20. SALEM LEGALIZES SALEM.

June 6 (API They are not ready to admit It pub licly but officials here privately be lieve disarmament is a lost cause. Nothing important Is in prospect. Confidential orders have been Issu ed to Norman Davie to save the fa?e of the movement if he can. That Is why he has been worlr:ng at Ge.i eva to get an adjournment for thirty days. Britain and Prance believe there Is no chance for success, at least until after the London Economli conference. They want to call the whole deal off until fnl'. in the end that la what probably will be done. The same old reasons are behind the Geneva deadlock. The nations all come out with high-sounding dis armament statements. Tliey are ready to sacrifice armaments for the tax payers. Each says no one will go further than he will.

That is, you had a government bond and it said thny would pay you in gold. Now they won't. Well, you can alibi the situation, but that is repudia- tion. But thoy claim it was necpssary and we needdd the money. Now if they can do that in an emergency, why can't they pass another one to do away with the tax exemption on all tax-exempt bondst There would be more justice in that, for everybody bought ''Cm just to evade the tax. In other words, we knew we were buying a stolen car when we bought it, but that's why we bought it. When you repudiate all tax exempt bonds you only beat 'cm out of 3 or 4 per cent, but when you repudiate fife gold it will take years to find out what you beat him out of.
