TS HELD
VIOLATION OF
PORTLAND, Nov. 35. (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."

room enough to receive It."
Among the citations from Science
and Health was: "Are we really grate
ful for the good already received?
Then we shall avail ourselves of the
blessings we have and thus be fitted
to receive more. Gratitude Is much
more than a verbal expression of

tude than speech."

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,
