At torney Moody in hie talk to the Jury ' gave no hint of new evidence, if any, in the state's possession. j Attorney Moody reviewed what the , state Intends to show, in a con versa- tlonal tone, and traced briefly the history of the ballot thefts, from its Inception last November, following , the counting of the votes. Only passing mention was made of Jones' j accomplices. ! Claim Jones Waa Bom j Attorney Moody declared that the ; state would show that Jones was a party- to the conspiracy to destroy the ballots to prevent a recount in the sheriff's race, and attended meet ings to discuss plans: that he waa 1 the "boss" of the crime. Instructing ' the actors, and giving the signal for the noise to drown the sound of shattering the vault window glass; that he told Burley Sexton, youth, who broke the vault window, to "do a good Job of it" and "make It in one lick"; that he was conspicuous around the rear of the court house, before and during the actual com mission of the crime, and that when L&Dleu and two other participants came to his home In the early morn ing hours of February 31 and asked for advice on what to do with six ballot pouches and ballots, he ad vised their burning, and provided pitch for the purpose. Conspiracy Claimed The state contends that County Judge Fehl, suspended Sheriff Scher merhorn, John Glenn, former county Jailer, Tom Brechcen, Ashland poll' tlclan. and Jones engaged in a co splracy to destroy the ballots. The Jury was cautioned that Jones was the only one on trial now, and that their verdict should not be confused with hla asserted co-con sp Ira tors, who would receive trials later. - The state maintained it would prove "conclusively and completely, and beyond a shadow of a doubt. Jones' participation In the ballot thefts " Jones Is represented by Attorney Glenn R. Jacks of Oregon City, and T. J. Enrlght of this city. Following the completion of the I Jury, and inspection of the scene of j the crime, Attorney Moody filed a ' motion, asking that the Indictment against E. A. Fleming, Jacksonville orchardist, be dismissed so he could sppear as a witness for the state. Fleming was at Banks' house, when the slaying of Constable Prescott oc curred. EsrI Bryant and James D. Gaddy of Jacksonville, companions of Fleming when they attended the "congress" on the night of the ballot stealing, have plead guilty, and testi fied all three destroyed five pouches and their contents.
