son said. ito get anything by that
council, without seeing those men"
ut is time for this city to be-
come aroused, to stop this thing
forever. If politicians are to seize
our government to do the things
this evidence has shown we're done,
then this city deserves the things
that have been said about us. 1t
is the duty of Mr.. Remy to keep
up the fight. 1t is the duty Of the
community to stand behind him.
1T is your duty to uphold the
law. Can men solicit bribes and
go free? Can men seek public Of
flee with the idea of living in ease
the rest of their lives?
"Now is the time to strike, TO
save this city from such things In
the future. Moore is far more
guilty than all the rest, with the
possible exception of Dorsett. These
two were the leaders.
Calls for Halt
"They have bilked this city as
much as they could. Now is the
time to say johnson raised his hand
in warning to the jury) this thing
must stop"
In dealing with the fact that
Moore used sixteen character wit
nesses, johnson asked:
"Why could not one of those good
neighbors, people who know of Mr..
Moores good character have come
here to tell why they left for trip
to Canada on the morning of Aug.
%? Where we're they on that morn
ing? One such witness testimony
would have been worth a dozen
character witnesses"
Johnson stated that character
witnesses have nothing to do with
defense of accepting a bribe.
The defense opened its argument
by attacking the testimony Of States
witnesses and prosecuting attorneys,
through Henry Winkler, one of
MOore'S attorneys.
Winkler asserted that johnson
would stand up here as a man and
say that Duvall is the biggest liar
in Marion County. He has said it
a dozen times
Winkler produced the charges
levelled against Johnson when a
park board member by Duvall,
charging that Johnson had given
away city property fol- political pur-
poses, and that boulevards were
built to enhance values of real estate
owned by officials and friends OF
the park board.
Turns Guns on DuvalI
WinkIer said he didn't believe it
and he didn't think that Johnson or
any of the jurors believed the state
mentS of Duvall.
IT ask you, Mr.. Remy," he said
'wIY Duvall was not tried in this
court for perjury? Affidavits have
benpending against him since last
May. He was tried on a misde-
meanor, for which he could get only
a thirty-day sentence"
Prosecutor Remy jumped to his
feet and objected to the remark,
asking Winkler to retract his mis-
quoting Of the law"
"He got thirty days because Cna,
was what the jury assessed" Remy
said
Winkler retracted his statement,
but said he would not retract the
fact that the perjury affidavits had
not been brought to trial.
Sarcasm for AlbertsOn
poor little conscious-s tricken,
Angel Albertson," Winkler charac-
terized the States star witness.
Again he called him "Emsley w.
JOhnsons little Angel Albertson."
Winkler declared that Albertson
never would have told his story If
prosecutors had not been investigat-
ing his real estate deals on Thirty
Eighth st. and Central Ave.
"COnscious-s Albertson did
not dare vote for anyone but
Howe (referring to Thomas Howe)
or Irving LemauX, because he was
afraid of an incident" Winkler
charged, whereupon Remy objected
and termed the statement a "de-
liberate, purposeful, falseful mis-
tatement of fact"
81 say that is a deliberate false
hood" Remy declared. Il should
like to have the court investigate
that statement and bring in mern-
bers of the grand jury"
