MEDFORD XrSIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 3933. PAGE FIVE TRIAL OF JONES IN BALLOT THEFT TO (Continued trora rage One.) Cites Or eat it Conspiracy "Ths defense claim that the e ri de nee given against jonee, by hit fel low conspirator does not coincide. The testimony la the greatest con spiracy that ever existed does not con form. There was a conspiracy to cru cify our Ohrlst. The record of the four apostles Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John are all different, but the conspiracy was completed. Doea any sane person doubt, for one moment that a conspiracy did not exist to destroy the ballots, and prevent the recount." "This was not a spontaneous crime. The boys the Sextons and. Conners did not do it of their own volition. Older men put them up to it. Men who would profit thereby, men who did not want the ballots counted in the sheriff's contest, and who did not want them counted for another of fice. They wanted to be able to con tinue their practices. At another point Moody said: ."111 tell you why the defense did not call La Dleu. He could testify. His ease has been disposed of. He has been seated in the courtroom all the time advising the defense. I presume they did not call La Dleu because La Dleu did not want to add perjury to his crimes, and he Is to be com plimented for it. County Foots Bill "Attorney Enrlght get up hers and tells you, that the state Is paying for witnesses. The state Is also paying for defense witnesses. The defense brought two from Coos county. All the witnesses get the same pay. Jackson county foots the bill." Referring to Enrlght's castlgatlon of state witnesses, Attorney Moody said: "The state has to take the asso ciates of the defendant in the crime, as Its witnesses. The state did not ask them to commit burglary not in a dwelling, and thus thwart an order of this court." "The defense deals In half-truths, to blind you to the guut of Jones. They should point to the whole truth or nothing." Attorney Enrlght characterized Moody's first speech, as "a patriotic address of government, snd says the nation will not survive unless Walter Jones, a good taxpayer Is not con victed." Says State Witnesses All Liars "Walter Jones and you will re member I asked him specifically, de clared on the witness stand, that all the state witnesses, who connected him with the ballot theft were un truthful," declared Assistant Attorney General Ralph E. Moody in his clov ing address to the Jury Wednesday afternoon. "The 'state needs no witnesses to Impeach Walter Jones. He impeached himself. I could ask for no better impeaching witness." According to his testimony, no state witness told the truth. It looks like at least one of them, might have ap proached it, when Mr. Jones was con- cerned. Are you going to believe Jones the only witness, who is not a liar." "Jones and Glenn and the rest of the co-consplrators were too coward ly to do the Job themselves. They wanted the fruits of the crime, but would not take its risks," declare, the tte prosecutor. "A man the site of Jones could not crawl thru the vault window, as the Jury can see for themselves. 80 they went and Induced these kids to do it. They didn't want to do it, but they look ed at the size of Jones and Martin and others, and thought it best. Went To Sextons "The Sexton boys were not the best boys in the world. They had been buffeted around a bit. Glenn and Fehl gave them a place to sleep, and something for their stomachs. So when the ballot theft conspirators, went looking for aides In their crime, did they seek boys from the Sunday schools, and the well-regulated homes. They wouldn't do it, and they knew It. So they went to the Sexton's, who have not been blessed with the divine environments, such as you have in your own homes. The Sexton's were not as fortunately circumstanced as moat youths. They were obligated to Jones, and Fehl, "The ballots meant nothing to the Sexton boys. They couldn't eat them. They couldn't spend them. The Sex 1 tons didn't care who was sheriff. It made no difference to them, who was county Judge. But it did make a dif ference to Glenn, who held -a Job un der Schermerhorn. It did make a dif ference to Jones, a Fehl appointee to a county Job." "You have got to believe the Sex tons, for they told you they broke the vault window, and with Jean Conners, another boy. they stole the ballote. Fehl Interested "Fehl was mighty interested in the ballots. They did not want the bal lots counted, for sheriff, or any oth er office. They were afraid the aher iff's recount wold reveal other things. f they did not want the people to know." declared Attorney Moody at another point. "Jones denies that La Dleu, McKlt rick. and Edlngton came to his house at Rogue River with stolen ballots. Jones' wife denies tt. His daughter denies It. His son-in-law denies it. Why didn't the defense call Arthur La Dleu. He has been In the court room all the time. He was there. He knows. They didn't call La Dleu be cause he would have knocked the story of Jones and his kin into a cocked hat.- Attorney Moody asserted. "Jones defense has been an alibi, and a poor one." Moody said in clos ing. "You as citizens have got to do your duty, and put a stop to things like ballot stealing. It stilkes at the VerV foundation rtf aiif rrrwmm mnt the rule the people. It is hard to Imagine the malignancy of this crime Its audacity." Attorney Moody also said: "No de fendant, in any court, In any juris diction, ever received a fairer trial, than Walter Jones."
