MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MED FORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1934. PAOE TFTRRE BANKS REPLY TO STATE'S BRIEF IS The reply brief of L. A. Banks, for mer local agitator now serving life In state prison for conviction of second degree murder, has been re ceived by the district attorney's office. The document Is brief, and replies to only two of the points raised by the state In its brief. Banks has filed an appeal from his t conviction and sentence, and the su preme court has set April 5, at 1:30 p. m., as the time for argument. The latest defense brief rests on the affidavit of Lee Young, an alter nate Juror in the case, in which he alleges misconduct on the part of one of the male balliffB, and the evi dence introduced by the state showing that a .38 calibre revolver was found under a coat belonging to Mrs. Banks on a davenport In the Banks' home. The brief reads, in summing up the .38 calibre pistol point: "... the evidence of preparation and premeditation are overwhelming so far as sustaining the verdict of the Jury is concerned ..." and then holds that "the evidence was useless to the state, and highly prejudical to the defense." The state contends that Mrs. Banks was a co-defendant in the murder trial and that it was proper to show by evidence the possession of weapons, other than the one with which the killing was done. Young alleges in his affidavit that the bailiff said, "He's guilty all right." to which Young replied, in effect, "We have no right to talk." The state holds that a Juror cannot impeach his own verdict by his own statement, that corroboration is lacking, and that Young was an alter nate Juror, and did not participate in the verdict.
