FINCH
ON THE
STAND
GIVES HIS VERSION
Of THE -.SHOOTING
(United 1'resB Leased Wire.)
Portland, Or., Doc. 24. With a
volco that nover' faltered, betraying
1 1 his manlier no consciousness of tlio
nwful Issuo of llfo or death that con
fronts him, J. A. Finch this morning
took tho stand In tho circuit court to
toll his version of tho death of Ralph
Ui Fisher at his .hands on Novomber
28.
Finch's reforonco to tho killing of
1 '.'pher wero carefully and diplomat
Icnl y worded. Flrot ho spoko of
F'ahor mooting "his unforlunato
death," and again ho alluded to tlu
trngedy as "this unfortunnto occur
ronco." "I felt as If I woro tho victim of a
trap," was one of his expressions re
garding his suspension from the prac
tice of law under tho prosecution be
gun by Flshor. Ho painted Fisher as
a man who did not kcop his word,
faithless in his promises and obsfl
nato in resisting tho plea of mercy.
Flshor promised to head tho petition
to reln'rtnto him, ho doclarcd, nnd
then refused oven to sign It.
."I felt sick at heart when I road
Hint I hod boon suspended from tlio
liar association," ho said. "I folt
lha tthls was too harsh. Honestly
peaking, I think I was perhaps do
nerving of u reprimand, nnd if I had
continued n my habits I might hnvo
le-'orvod a sovoror sontonce. But
Inco July I had been nttondlng
strictly to buslnoss, 'and I thought
that tho Judgment was too much."
All through his story Finch carried
tlio same idea of persecution. Ho
was crying, out to Ik? lot alone, nnj
given a chnnco to work out his des
tiny, but FlBhor would not let him,
nnd prursuod him with vlndlctlvo per
sistence This is tho story that ho
would havo tho Jury bollovo that ho
was n suppliant for morcy, Flshor tho
rolontlcus prosecutor, ralthless to
what ho had promised.
Ho said ho had hold out hopes o
IiIb wlfo that tho ponalty would b
losBOnod, adding, "nnd I still have
that hopo."
