,...........s... .

Since 9 o'clock this morning up to
tho hour of going to press. except dur
ing the noon intermission. the circuit
court room has rung with the attor-
neys' arguments In the trial of C. F.
Davis. It Is the final day of the fa-
nous trial and for all concerned II
has been the most interesting yet.
For an hour and a half after the
opening OF court John McCourt ad-
dressed the jury for the state. and
many who heard him declare his ar
gument one OF the most forcible ever
given in this court. His presentation
OF the case was clear and convincing,
and though he attempted no flights
of oratory his address frequently grew
dramatic. Especially was his arraign-
ment of Davis severe and effective.
SO bitter did he become at one time
that both attorneys for the defense
appealed to the court to protect their
client.
About 1890 Mr.. McCourt concluded
his address, and he was at once fol-
lowed by Judge Fee for the defense.
In his usual forcible manner the at
torney for Davis laid before the jury
the salient points in the defense, and
at times the court room rang with the
sound of his voice as he dwelt upon
an important point At - o'clock he
had not concluded his address. and he
did not close until this afternoon.
The following is detailed account
of the arguments by the various at
torneys:
McCourt Opened for State.
NAV II please the court and gem
tlemen of the jury.
"The defendant in this case is
charged with converting money be-
longing to Cmatilla county to his own
use
at the outset we promise that we
will demonstrate that there is a short
age found by the persons who expert
ed the books We have already DEM
onstrated TO YOU beyond a reasonable
doubt that there is a shortage, and
that this defendant got the money and
converted 1t to his own use. Not only
will we demonstrate this to you be-
yond a moral certainty, but to math-
ematical certainty.
"All the circumstances surrounding
the office, ali the acts of the Defend
ant, all the testimony point to this
defendant as the one who got that
money. He had charge of the office,
had charge of the books, all the money
came into his hands, and he has never
showed where any of the money got
out of his hands
Experts Work Correct.
Now, in this case, there are many
records that have been brought here
for your inspection aud to be consid-
cred by you in your deliberation upon
this case, but we do not think that 1t
will be necessary for you, gentlemen
of the jury, to spend any time in as
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-02

necessary for you, gentlemen of the
jury, to spend great deal of time in
going over these books. Mr.. Buchan-
an demonstrated to you that the
books were correct and the defendant
went back over them himself and ad-
mitted they were correct. Therefore
gentlemen of the jury, this report will
be the basis upon which you work,
the point from which you need to
work from; for 1t is correct as admit
ted by the defendant, as well as
claimed by the plaintiff, or the state
of oregon. The report explains itself
and it is not necessary for me to go
over It."
Here Mr.. McCourt gave a descrip-
tion of the tax receipts, and con-
tinued:
I'm your deliberations upon this
matter. If you believe that this report
was correct, 1t is not necessary for you
to go to those books, but your deliber-
ations may begin in ascertaining the
amount of the report due to the
treasurer at that time. In considering
the total amount, it is not necessary
to deduct any more than the sum
of 1904. for that is all we claim the
report should not show under any
circumstances. Mr.. Davis went over
this report, he testified that the
changes made in the report were cor
rect with the exception that he claim
ed that $10.94 should not go in there
and 1t won't make any difference
whether or not you find that the de-
fendant converted $4,000 of the coun-
tys money to his own use while act
ing as deputy sheriff, or whether he
only embezzled or converted to his
own use the sum of s4189.06, because
he is just as guilty by embezzling that
amount Of money as he would be II
you find he converted $4,000 to his
own use. But his claim of $1O.94
demonstrates the absolute correct
ness of the experts report. Now
that matter being established and
considered by both sides to be estab-
lished. shows the amount of money
that the sheriff had at that time or
should have to pay the treasurer
Who had that money? If he did not
who did get It? Was he the man that
had 1t? Is he the man that has 1t
now?"
Davis Tacitly Admitted Crime.
After going over the records and
receipts for the year 1904, Mr.. Nc
Court continued: "Now, Gentlemen of
the jury, who had that money? The
counsel when they got up here to
open this case said that we do not
claim that T. ID. Taylor got any
money of Umatilla county or William
Blakley: we claim there is no short
age. We will show that this report
is full of Mistakes and they did not
show anything. And do you suppose

Ior ,vould mt his name uDOn the in

TODAY'S SESSION.
Meeting of Reclamation Survey En-
gIneers--Protectlon To Canal Banks.

Al today's session OF the reclamation
survey engineers in Prof. Swendsens
offices. there was a full attendance.
The discussion was as to the best
methods IN protecting canal banks,
and keeping them free from vegetation.
A paper covering this field was read
by Prof. Walter IL. Granger super
lntendent of the Sunnyside canal,
Wash. recently secured by the re-
clamation service. and who also spoke
on methods IN making water colleo-
tions. There was discussion as to how
to get rid of gophers, badgers and
water rats. which play such havoc with
the banks of canals; and II was an
nounced that strychnine treated grain
was proving very efficient. The grain
Is dropped down into the holes, and
shortly the pesky animals turn up
their little claws and depart this life.
Sulphlde OF carbon has been found ex-
cellent. but the cost and inconveni-
enee Of obtaining supplies have oper-
ated against Il.
The matter Of canal bank patrol,ditc
riding and general SUPPLEMENTARY
were discussed, and then the legal ex-
merit, Prof. A. T., Chandler, gave an
interesting talk on the legal phases of
the reclamation work, particularly In
the matter of water rights. These dis
cussions are being continued this al
ternoon.

II should certainly not he changed at
this time. The machinery of the cleo
tons Is administered entirely by the
Porto Rican people themselves, the
governor ana council keeping only such
supervision as Is necessary In order TO
insure an orderly election. Any protest
as 60 electoral frauds is settled in the
courts. Here again It would not be
safe 70 make any change in the pres
ent system. The elections this year
were absolutely orderly, unaccompa-
MED by any disturbance; and no pro-
test has been made against the man
agement OF the elections, although
three contests are threatened where the
majortes were very small and error
was claimed; the contests OF course, TO
be settled IN the courts, In short, the
governor and council are cooperating
with all of the most enlightened and
most patriotic people of Porto Rico In
educating the citizens OF the island in
the principles OF orderly liberty. THEY
are providing a government based upon
tach citizens sef-respect, and the mu-
tual respect of all citizens that Is,
based upon rigid observance of the
principles of justice and honesty. 1t

ciples OF our American system; the

and the principle that the minority has
rights which must not be disregarded
or trampled upon. Yet real progress
has been made In having these princi-
pies accepted as elementary. as the
foundations Of successful self-govern-
ment.
| transmit herewith the report OF the
governor Of Porto Rico, sent to the
president through the secretary OF
state.
All the lnsular governments should

department OF war or the department OF

our handling OF these islands at WASH

of the experience gained In one, when
dealing with the problems that from
time to time arise In another.
In conclusion let me express my adj
mratiou for the work done by the con-
gress when Il enacted the law under
which the island Is now being admins
tered. After seeing the island PERSONAL
