Turning down the offers of Judge Ronald to provide him Harry Olson this [morning personally conducted the defense of Christina Olson, his wife, who struck Judge Main in the court house cor- ridor, with a horsewhip sev- eral months ago, Mrs. Olson is charged with assault in the third degree. Judge Ronald offered Olson the services of Edward Judd before the \Jury was impaneled. He again pow Olson to accept Judd as his attorney without charge during the | examination of the jury. Then, for \the third and last time during the \examination. of witnesses, Olson was offered the combined services of John F. Miller, former mayor of Seattle, and Jay C. Allen. Olson stated that he bad had a disagree- ment with his own attorney, Thom- as K. Horner, and would therefore conduct the case himself. The facts were not in dispute. Judge Main himself testified that he was but lightly touched with the whip — did not suffer any physical pai Olson put his wife on the B roar as his only witness. Her testimony lasted but a few |minutes, and the case went over | tll this afternoon for argument.

Ulson made a long argument on this point. I want to show that Mrs. Olson was under great provocation.” Judge Ronald ruled that provoca- tion may be shown, but that the facts which the witness believed to entitle her to becoming provocated were not proper evidence. “You may show her state of mind at that time, but not the facts in that case,” the court ruled. Olson argued that he could not show a state of provocation with- out showing the facts which he al- leges led up to it. In arguing, he repeatedly stated-the facts in the rental cases which caused the trouble. He asserted several times over that tne case had beén tried once before and that it resulted in his favor by a jury verdict, went to the supreme court, was retried by Judge Main and again the jury re- turned a verdict for him, and that by Judge Main set aside the ver- et. Kennedy repeatedly put in ob- Jection {o this argument as improp- er. Judge Ronald, at one stage, sald: “The court will be fair with you. But you must observe propriety in this court, and you must not con- tinue to argue anything that the court rules against you.” “Well,” said Olson finally, “if we can’t show why she was provocated to do the horsewhipping then that is all our case.” And he rested, is apparent why he didn’t want a lawyer,” said Kennedy at the conclusion of the testimony. ‘A lawyer would have been fined for contempt if he had_ persisted in dsnoring the court's rulings.” “T object to any statement like |that,” Olson cried. Judge Ronald immediately put a stop to further ;wrangling by sharply announcing |that the arguments in the case would go over till 1:30 p. m, The horsewhipping of Judge Main followed the setting aside by Jadge Main of a jury’s verdict in tavor of the Olsons on a rent claim for which they were sued, The amount involved was about $600, It ap- pears that an agent of the owner of the house where they lived pock- eted rentals paid by Olson tor two years in advance, for which he was promised a discount of $100, The case was’ first tried berore Judge Albertson, and at that time it was also decided by the jury in favor of Olson, After it had gone to the supreme court a new trial was om dered. |a wx
