(AP) Bank nights operated by about a dozen Portland theatres were ruled lotteries today by Circuit Judge Robert Tucker. He denied the suit of Carl R. Mc Fadden, theatre operator, to restrain District Attorney James Bain and Sheriff Martin Pratt from interfer ing. Judge Tucker said the issue would eventually require a decision from the supreme court. Theatre manogementa said the gift nights were vital to their patronage and were not lotteries because no consideration was necessary to enter the drawings. "A great many people going to the theatre without the idea of pay ing for an admission, later change their minds and enter the theatre, thereby Increasing the box receipts," the Judge sold. . . . The mere fact that some coupons are given to non paying patrona does not alter the fact that these people who come to the theatre and wait on the outside hnve contributed a consideration In f. the inconvenience and trouble In coming to the theatre and waiting until the award Is made and they In a large measure aid In the general advertising scheme which Is the pur pose of the bank night."

UdlM It JUDGE INSTRUCTS TO IGNORE No Person Has Right to Take Law in Own Hands,' Is Word in Final Phase of Torture Kidnap Trial OLTMPIA. Wash., Nov. 35. (AP) Superior Judge John M. Wilson, charging the "torture kidnaping ease" Jurors today, warned them the unwritten law la no defense against commission of a crime. Attorneys summations were planned for the afternoon but counsel said probably would extend Into tomorrow. His instruction dealing with Dr. Kent W. Berry, SO, physician, who testified he abducted and beat Irv ing Baker, retired coast gtwrd offi cer, last August 10 because he be lieved. Baker raped Mrs. Berry, 37, stated In part: "You are instructed that no per son has the right to take the law Into his own hands and mete out punishment, either for real or fan cied lnjurv. Not Justification ' "And that If you should find that the defendant Berry had been told or had suspected that an assault had been made upon his wife, regardless of the truth or falsity of such re port or suspicion, and if you find acts alleged were committed upon Baker, you are Instructed that the fact of such report or the fact he suspected such an assault had been made would not Justify him in the commission of the acts alleged In the Information." Judge Wilson also Instructed the Jury specifically regarding the doc tor's accused aides James Reddlck, Olympla taxlcab driver; William Mc Aloon. former Montesano, Wash., night marshal, and Robert H. Smith. Brady, Wash., dairy farmer. Judge Wilson said that an Intent to commit an offense must be prov ed. In convicting the defendants of kidnaping and assault. He said ex pectation of a reward Is part of the offense but that the reward need not be of material or financial value. Trial testimony Indicated the as sault on Baker ceased when he agreed to leave town. Frenzy No Alibi Of Doctor Berry's defense that while he planned the abduction and beating, he remembered nothing of the details of actual affair, Judge Wilson admonished the Jury: In the absence of mental or phys ical disease resulting In disorders of the brain, one who commits a crime In a frenzy inducted by anger. Jeal ously or passion although such per son may be unable, or claim to be unable, to control such passion, Is fully responsible for the acts so com mitted." He said the defendants could be found guilty of first degree assault. If the Jury determined Baker had been assaulted with a weapon which might cause death or gross bodily harm; of second degree assault If It decided he was assaulted with grev lous bodily harm, which he defined as more serious than ordinary bat tery. , Albert Wool folk, son of Mr, and Mrs. Edward Wool folk of Grants Pass, died last night In a Klamath Falls hospital after a brief illness.
