SIX -MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, October 20, 1957 Doctored Up Tape Admiited In Trial Of Tom Maloney Portland V The Maloney gambling conspiracy trial was in recess here Saturday after the defense Friday succeeded in ad mitting as evidence a doctored and phoney tape recording it said demonstrated the unreliab ility of such recordings as evi dence. The defense move followed the abrupt ending of the state's case against Thomas E. Maloney, a Seattle and Spokane race track and cardroom figure. Circuit Judge Martin Hawkins halted the playback before the jury of defense-doctored tapes using the voice of Assistant At torney General John Nichols, the prosecuting attorney. Judge Hawkins agreed with state ob jections the defense tapes were not fit demonstrations since they purported to record Nichols making a deal for money. The defense argued the tapes were simply used to show that uch recordings can be easily al tered to distort and falsify facts, using the voices of principals without their knowledge. The court did admit as evi dence one tape which did not use Nichols' voice but which was doctored to show the potentials of tape tampering. The state had succeeded in ad mitting a series of recordings as evidence purporting to show that Maloney conspired to profit from gambling operations in Portland. The trial resumes Monday. 1 v mt'i i i ntivffh'rr-o MiiiiMtWiaiiiiftitMirlifr-'r,-a RECEIVE AWARD Mayor John Snider looks over letter of award given to city employees for their record of United Medford Crusade contributions.
