LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-Two word
 portraits of Darrow, wholly different
 in color lines were held before the jury
 in the Darrow bribery trial today. The
 first was by Darrow himself, at the
 close of a remarkable plea in his own
 behalf. painted him as life long friend of the poor and oppressed, ready to sac-

 trict Attorney Fredericks, pictured
 Darrow as an enemy of society, incit-
 ing class hatred, shedding maudlin
 tears of sympathy with the murderers and dynamiters." The prosecutor will
 consume all of tomorrow concluding.
 Still, under the spell of the defend-

 courtroom at the afternoon session to
 hear Fredericks make the closing ar-
 gument for the prosecution in trial
 which began it's fourth month today.
 He said he would not attempt to conn.,
 pete in oratory with Darrow whose
 persuasive eloquence and pathetic plea
 caused the jury and court officials to
