Attorney Moore Bitterly De-
n0unceS the Prose-
CutiOn.

Portland, Ore, June 11.-An Oregon
ian special from Moscow, Ida, says:
Attorney Frank Moore of Moscow
was unable to control himself during
the progress of his argument today in
behalf of the defense in the north Ida
no land conspiracy case and, after be-
ing admonished repeatedly by Judge
Dietrich, his remarks were stricken
from the records. Once the judge took
occasion to say to Attorney Moore that
if he did not desist from his line of ar
gument that he would stop him from
further arguing. Shortly after the noon
recess Attorney Moore referred to In
spector Fallon, the personal representa-
tive of the secretary of the Interior,
and Special Agent Goodwin OF Spo-
kane as contemplate wretches-"
Judge Dietrich stopped him, eau
toned him and had the remarks strick-
en- from the records. Later Attorney
Moore said to the jurymen that he
supposed they knew they were being
Swallowed by secret service menP
Again the court ordered Mr.. Moores
remarks from the records. Judge Diet
rich said the attorney was going too
far. When the attorney said that The
supposed the jury knew that the grand
jury was being kept in session for the
purpose of indicting witnesses for the
prosecution who went on the witness
stand and did not testify as the dis
trict attorney wanted them to-" Judge
Dietrich said it was not within the
province of Attorney Moore to discuss
probable action by the grand jury.
Cautioned BY the Court.
When the attorney had taken his
seat the court said that he had had
about all that kind of argument that
he wanted from the defense, cautioning
those who were to follow Attorney
Moore to keep within the evidence. He
said that the government had seen fit
to send a number of federal officials to
Moscow to perform certain duties, and
Just because those duties did not suit
certain persons, those certain persons
had no right or license to get up in
court and jeer at them and defile them,
adding that he did not propose either to
sit on the bench and see them insulted.
Prior to the noon recess, Attorney
Moore had bitterly attacked District
Attorney n. NJ. Ruick. accusing him
of suborning Ivan r. Cornell of Port
land, Ore, to commit perjury by giving
the evidence which he did, saying that
the scheme was cooked up" in a room
in the Portland hotel. He accused the
district attorney of producing perjured
testimony in the case of Wynne PEI
ley, who is a guard for the government
here. Attorney Moore saying that in
lieu of his receiving So a day for his
services, he got upon the witness stand
and swore to things that ARE worse
than perjury
Attorney Moore declared that Mr..
Ruick is actuated by political motives
and not by a sense of justice in seeking
to convict in this case, saying that by
winning this case he hoped that it will
pave the way to the United States SEN
ate.
The instant Judge Dietrich concluded
his general admonition to the defense
| to keep within bounds of the evidence
| in argument and desist from insulting
government officials, Attorney Moore
| left the court room, and Attorney G..
w Tannahill began speaking for the
defense.
