' Supreme Court Sustains Con viction of Wife-Slayer. OWN WORDS CONVICT HIM Man Who Kills After He Has De livered Fatal Blow Is Considered Guilty of Premeditated Act, Says Court. SALEM, Or., July 13 (Special.) The Supreme Court today affirmed the lower court in the appeal of John D. Roselair from the Circuit Court of Washington County. Roselair was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang for killing his wife on May 15, 1909. He later confessed that he chided her for giving him milk instead of cream at breakfast, that she made an angry reply and threw the contents of a. pan of milk at him, that he struck at the pan with a large knife, missing it and wound ing her upon the neck and hands. He discovered, he said, that she could not survive and he then killed her to put her out of her misery. ' In appealing, the defense contended th.t the preliminary proof in relation to tak ing the confession should have been re ceived in the absence of the Jury, the higher court, however, holding Uat the Jury is the exclusive Judge of the confes sion's weight and value as evidence after it appears that the confession was vol untarily made and not extorted by threats or induced by promise of immunity from the penalty prescribed for the crime. In referring to the insanity plea of Roselair, the court states: "The line of demarkation between san ity and Insanity is so indistinct, in some instances, that it is difficult accurately to be determined even by a physician. It is also perplexing for a medical expert to explain the extent of mental infirmity or to elucidate the degree of intellectual strength so that a person unacquainted therewith may gain a correct idea of the capacity or responsibility 'of a person whose particular ect is the subject ot judicial inquiry." The court continues: "In order, there fore, to adapt the language of a witnexs to the understanding of men of ordinary intelligence, courts have permitted answers tb be given which would seem almost to trench upon the issue that the jury were called upon to determine." In the appeal of D. R. Trapp, convicted in Baker County of murder in the sec ond degree, the lower court was affirmed. The defendant in this case was a bar tender in the saloon of James Reedy, at Huntington, and on July 27, 1908, killed Chris Peterson. The defense was based on the fact that the slayer was intoxi cated.
