SAYS DAMAGE SUIT
is TO GET REVENGE
Arguments Before Jury Are
Warm as Speakers Hit
Plaintiffs Story

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 1s.-The
charges that J. F. McMurray, an Okla
homa lawyer now living in Washington
planned the alleged conspiracy against
Thomas P. Gore, U. S. senator from
Oklahoma which resulted in his being
sued for $4,000 damages for an alleg-
ed attack on Mrs. Minnie e. Bond was
made in the trial here today.
Robert l.. Rogers an attorney for the
defense in addressing the jury, said
several years ago McMurray sought to
prosecute claims for nearly 100000
fees from Indians of Oklahoma in con-
nection with the transfer of their
lands He asserted that Senator Gore
opposed McMurray's claims and in re-
taliation the conspiracy had been plan
ned. . s..
oklahoma has a home for such con-
spirators,' he shouted 1T is over at
McAlester." The state penitentiary Is
located at McAlester.
After Mr.. Rogers had finished his
address three attorneys still remained
to speak before the case was ready for
the jury.
1t was expected the jury would get
the case about five o'clock this after
noon.
Arguments are Hot.
F.. j. Giddings, who began the sum-
ming up for Mrs Bond yesterday, ridi-
culed the contention of the defense
that the suit was the result of a politi-
cal conspiracy ard made the flat decla-
ration that Senator Gore told an UNI
truth when he alleged that If there had
been any impropriety it was on the
part of Mrs. Bond.
Norman Pruitt, pleading the cause
Of the senator scored in turn each of
the principal witness for the plaintiff
as disappointed office seekers who
sought to drive Gore into political
oblivion.
Ross Lillard, one of -Irs. Bonds law
yers, concluded Just before court ad-
journed yesterday He denounced
James r. Jacobs. a widely known
political leader, who was summoned by
the plaintiff but who was not called
Oh to testify as one who had betrayed
a confidence, because he did not ac-
company Mrs. Bond and Senator Gore
to the room in the Washington hotel
on the day of the alleged attack.
1t has been expected that Jacobs and
several others would be called to testi-
fy in rebuttal yesterday, but instead
counsel for Mrs. Bond announced their
evidence finished at the opening Of
court Arguments began after Judge
Clark read his instructions to the jury.
Meeting Not CIandestine.
Robert L. Rogers. an attorney of Lit
tie Rock. Ark, addressed the jury in
the senator's behalf. He insisted that
the senator in going to meet Mrs. Bond
at her hotel was making no clandestine
visit, that he had made it known be-
fore he left his Office that he was go
ing to the hotel to talk to Mrs. Bond.
Rogers contended that evidence in
the trial showed that Mrs. Bond was
a party to the alleged conspiracy
against Mr. Gore and that she knew
the motive behind it all was political
opposition to the senator.
"This woman he said, complains
that ON account of the publicity given
the affair in the hotel she had been
damaged $4,000. Who gave the af-
fair publicity? She did and the three
men with her in the conspiracy"
