SALEM. Ore.. Oct. 21.- -With the
stqte asking verdicts of first degree
murder, carrying tho death penalty,
r.nd the defense pleading that they
took no part in tho shooting which
accompanied the prison break of
August 12 in which two guards
wire killed, the trial of James Wil
los nnd Ellsworth Kelley. accused
of the murder of Guard John Sween
ey, will go to the Jury some tlmo
during the day.
Allen Carson, special assistant
prosecutor in the case, made the
opening argument for the slate yes
terday afternoon, charging Kelley
and Willos to be equally guilty with
Tom . -Murray, already convicted of
the murder of Sweeney, in that they
were parties to tho crlminnl con
spiracy in which he was killed and
doclurlng that they aided and .tbet
ted in the commission of the crime
and benefitted euunlly in the Mather
of securing their freedom from the
prison with Murray.
In Conspiracy
Carson declared the state had
proved beyond a question that both
of the defendants were parties to
the conspiracy, and that while th
original plan of the convicts might
not necessarily have contemplated
murder if executed as planned, it
did contemplate shooting If shooting
became necessary as established by
admissions of the defendants pro
duced in the testimony.
Pleads For Convicts

fense, opened his final argument

log directed toward leniency just!
tied, he said, by mitigating olrcum
stances in the ease of Willos and
Kellev. King contends that neither
of the defendants had any part in
the killing of the guards, that they
ugreed to the escape plot with th"
understanding that there was to be
no violence used nnd that at no time
during the escape or during their
subsequent flight "were either of
them parties to any violence.
