CO T What more i THE JUDGE DEINES NEWBERRY 'STATUS Gives Interpretation o f Election ' Statute. ARGUMENTS UNDER WAY Last Speech in Michigan Case Charg. ing Eiection Fraud Expected By Thursday. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 15.-A ruling on the status of Trumnan H. Newberry in the sen:4tor'ial electione e#~spioi'acy trial was given by Judgc C1arence W. Sessions today in the midst of 'arguments to the jury. An interpretation of the election stat utes by George E. Nichols of defense counsel drcw a whispered objection froni F"rank C. Daily ,assistant attor *ey general ,and the court interruptirl hr. Nichols. ~"I shall charge the jury," said Judge Sessions, "that if Senator Newberry *articipated actively in the jthings which caused the expenditure of money then he causea it to be ex perided." - Thec court said that the state stat ug is only referred to by the federal laWr "as a measure of the amount ,which may be expended or used or caused to be expended or. used," and *:that "what somebody else may ex pend has nothing to do with it." "That applies to the candidate as Iundersta'nd it,' saidi Mr. Nichols. * "Yes, that is the reason the amount is limited to $3,760," repliedl Judge Sessions. Both government and de CYPRESS SASH DOORS BLINDS e MOULDINGS AND MILL WORK arolina TON a MOLINE, SUNNY S Velvet ip-to-date Machim THOl! fense arguments were heard today. W. H. Eichhorn for three hours urged the jury to convict and then surprised the defense by winding up his argument. This brought Mr. Nichols to the for um and split his talk into anphour to lay and an equal interval tomorrow. James W. Helme, Democratic de fendant ,is to address the jury 'o morrow. Argument, -z is expected, will be finished Thursday . Judge Eichhorn found much ma terial in the King-Newberry corres pondence introduced by the defense. He quoted thetestimony of the first government witness, Jay Hayden, Washington correspondlent of the De troit News, to the effect that after Hayden had citedl the Herrick cam paign in Ohio as "against the spirit of the times," Newberry said he did not wish to make a "barrel campaign." "Yet, within three months or less," laid Judge Eichhorn, "Paul King wrote to Newberry that he was go in gto Cleveland to see the man who managed the Herrick campaign and hoped to get a few pointers from him, and there wvas not a line that New berry .disapproved this act by his campaign manager." "If your message in this case is a verdict of guilty," he told the jurors in conclusion. hthen you write a mes sage to the in.tire country. You serve a warning on politicians wvho would corrupt the franchi." The defense counsel laid particular stress. .0pon thc claim that criminal~ intent must be plain it the defendants are to be found guilty. "There is alwa~ys a motive in every act," said the attorney. "If anything damaging is ever brought out against a man it usually can be found in let ters in, which he tells exactly what is in his mind. Yet, search this cor Tespondence that we laid on the table and you will find nothing that will show that Truman H. Newberry and T)aul King had at an ytime any under. standing that couldl in any sense be construed into making them conspira tors. "Conspirarices are formed behind closed, doors, and the wish of every conspirator is that nothing become known which might connect him with the thing undertaken an the dark. Yet the first thing Paul King did in this campaign was to send out 500 letters announcing his intention to do -the thing for which he Is now on trial."
