MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD. OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1935. PAGE THREE ER HEARING 'CONIES 10 CLOSE (Continued From f&so One.) who have followed the hearings closely that Mr. Adams would be cleared of the charges In a referen dum election, though It was said the poll against him would probably 'be larger than his supporters anticipate Summation of the case was com pleted at 12:20 thlA morning.- 1m- mediately Dr. Blake moved that the charges against Mr. Adams be dis missed. The motion was seconded by Dr, 3. w. Gregg. - Wiley A proves Dismissal Mayor T. S. Wiley then addressed the assembly, stating that the charges against Mr. Adams had not been sus tained, although all the business of the' recorder's office had not been conducted efficiently. He said, how ever, that there were mitigating clr j cumstances in Mr. Adams' favor so far as his deficiencies were concerned as he had been hampered and ha raised In the perfai nance of his du ties. ' The mayor absolved all members of the council ot partisanship in the squabble excepting Gerald H. Wen npr, chairman of the finance com mittee, whom Mr. Adams had blamed for his predicament. It was the may or's opinion the finance committee Otlght to have fa new chairman and that Mr. Adams ought to be per mitted to continue as recorder with out harrassment. If, under more fa vorable circumstances, Mr. Adams should prove to be Incompetent he then should be removed from office, the mayor said. The air was full of drama aa the mayor spoke and when he finished he was roundly applauded. Wants Public's Opinion H. S. Ingle then took the floor and declared that while he thought the charges had not been sustained the question of removal should be placed before the public. His view were concurred in by Mr. Wenner. The roll was then called on the motion to dismiss the charges. Dr. Blake and Dr. Gregg voted In favor of the motion: Guy Applewhite, L. H Hnsen, Mr. Ingle and Mr. Wenner voted against the motion. It was pointed out after the meet ing that should one of the four vot ing against the motion change his attitude at a subsequent council meeting, the charges would probably vhe diKBipsfcK.tDr there would then be a tie vote with the. mayor casting the deciding ballot. The mayor In- dlcated by his talk last night he would vote for dismissal of the charges. Lawyers Battle Another attorney entered the fray last night. He was William Brlggs of Ashland, who apepared aa counsel for Mr, Wenner and Mr. Hansen, both members of the finance committee 'jthat filed the charges against Mr. Adams. At times during the pro- longed hearing it was doubtful who really was on trial. Sometimes It ap peared to be Mr. Wenner or W. S. Whiting. Portland accountant engag- I ed In installing a new accounting 1 system In the recorder's office, whom ' Mr. Adams held largely responsible j for his difficulties. Uke the, other attorneys, Mr. Brlggs wu not long in getting into t heated argument. The hearing resumed with Mr. Adams as wltnesa and when his ; counsel, Don Newbury, sought to in troduce letters from Mayor WUey to I Mr. Adams. Mr. Brlggs objected. The mayor ovj tiled the objection and then Mr. Brlggs asked that the mayor ; let City Attorney Frank J. Van Dyke rule Instead of acting as Judge him- ' self. Mr. Van Dyke also overruled , Mr. Brlggs whereupon a sharp word battle ensued among Mr. Brlggs, Mr. Wenner and Mayor Wiley. an Dyke Injects Humor When George 8. Eu banks, city treasurer,, testified aa a rebuttal wlt nesa for the prosecution, Mr. New- : bury objected on the ground he ; should have been called before direct testimony had been completed but Mr. Van Dyke ruled that while Mr. Newbury's position would be tenable In a court at an Informal hearing , it was permissible to present Mr. Eu- ; banks' rebuttal evidence. Mr. Eu banks testified regarding alleged de ficiencies in Mr. Adams' accounting The case-ln-chlef was completed at 11:09, whereupon counsel agreed among themselves regarding allot ment of time for summations. It was agreed the prosecution would be al lowed 40 minutes in all for opening and closing arguments. Defense was allowed 30 minutes for one address. Kenneth Denman, attorney for Mr Whiting, opened for the prosecution and Mr. Brlggs gave the final sum mation. Mr. Newbury gave the de fense summation, all the attorneys reviewing the evidence and arguing In behalf of their respective clients. Mr. Van Dyke was named timekeeper by Mayor WUey and a little horse play was Introduced when the city attorney, unable to find a stopwatch or a referee's whistle, littered the council table with all the pocket and wrist- watches he could gather. An even larger crowc attended last night's session than on the three previous nights, It being estimated that 300 were present. The specta tors stayed until the end of the ses sion early this morning. The throng again was demonstrable but was held in check by Mayor WUey. who stated at the beginning that he would be more strict In preventing demonstra tions as he had been criticized for permitting too much applause for Mr. Adams.. this morning and he was in pood spirits. He was not despondent." Mather said that Norton graduated from the University of Texas and had been with the securities exchange for several months. Ose Mall Tribune want ada PORTLAND. Dec. 20.
