who spoke an hour and three-quarters.
His references to authorities in support OF
his contentious were innumerable. Judge
Afford was apparently thoroughly familiar
with all the intricacies or the case and
hurried Mr.. Smith from one point TO
another. 1t was apparent from the start
what Judge Affords decision would be.
The argument of the defense was IN a
nutshell that there had been no bribery.
because Mr.. Logsdon. as member OF the
Board of Public Works. had no authority
to grant protection to slot machines.
For the State Mr.. Spaan occupied less
than half an hour with his argument. His
speech dealt entirely with strictly legal
very little to interest the courtroom visit
ors. Mr.. Spaan contended that bribery
consists in corruptly Offering money to
public officer. II the States contention
was not affirmed by the court. he said then
the indictments were not legal. The State
had never taken the position. he said. that
1t was necessary TO allege that an offer had
been made to influence Logsdon in the line
of his official action.
CUT DUNCAN OFF.
When Mr.. Spaan concluded the court
announced that he was ready to make his
ruling. John S. Duncan had arisen pre-
paratory to making long speech. but he
was given no opportunity. II always like
to hear you talk. Mr.. Duncan" said Judge
Afford. "but do not believe there is any
necessity for further argument"
Few cases in recent years have attracted
so much attention and aroused so much
interest locally AS the litigation growing
out of the attempt to bribe Mr.. Logsdon.
Public sentiment was pretty equally divided
on the question. Much of the bitterness of
the case came from the fact that the mu-
nicipal campaign was just beginning. Judge
Affords decision was anticipated by the
friends of the men indicted and was no
surprise to the general public.
