THE FINCH TRIAL
WILL END TONIGHT

'hA''N ANeo AsNhoNh w ilts
Portland, Or, Dec. 29.-Judgc
Bronaugh and the Jury that Is trying
James A. Finch for the murder of
Ralph Il. Fisher were treated to al
formations of tho tragic and the bur-
lesque today during the address of
Charles H. Ford who was making
tho final plea for TIE life OF the sls-
pended attorney, accused OF killing
the Bar Association prosecutor.
The tragedy came I'm a pitiful plea
for the aged mother OF Poor jim,
as tho lawyer referred to his clicn;.
The burlesque Yves furnished when
Lord unveiled n pair of Gpothecaries'
scales. with the drcmatic announce.
ment: Here | have the scales OF
justice" Then he placed In one end
of the scales the names OF all the
witnesses called by the state, writ.
ten on narrow strips of cardboard
Doing likowice with the names OF
witnesses called by tho defen7c, he
showed that the defense had the
greatest number, and the 'scalCs OF
justice" tipped over TO the defense as
tho names OF several jail birds wee
dropped into tho pan. Members Of
the jury Joined In the laugh that
swept over the court room, and Lord
turned fiercely on the smiling faces
OF the prosecuting lawyers.
Laugh" no hissed. Laugh, do
you? All. you will laugh whilo a
mans llfN 10 TO be dealt with. This
7hows the merciless character OF the
pro-ecutloR. Leugh again. will yod?
Either this demonstrates that the pre-
ponderance OF evidence is on our
side, or tho statute meens nothing"
Lord had not finished when tho
court adjourned for the noon rest.
He expected 10 speak, he said, two or
three hours this afternoon, and this
probably means another night ses-
sion, as Judge Bronough wants 10
give the case to the jury not Letter
