SOME POINTS OF THE MflUn-.R
TRIAL
Thosa who criticise the officr ot
Columbia Couuty for prosceuliun Georae
Murgatroyii would do well to K've ti e
matter a more careful consideration ai.d
be a little more tempnite in the;r
utterance. The jury did right ia ani lil
ting him because theS:aU' di.l not pi' ve
iiiraM tveortit a reasonable ditul)'.. K '
Malone testified that li- saw Mur;.t-
troyd come out of Mr. Wake's n vs.
near Gobie, the day ot the robbery vtU !
Sthdayof December,) but the 5ut '' own .
witnesses, Sheriff Poineroy and the :
police ofBcers from Astoria, swore lie
ni in Astoria that day. This is the rob- '
bery for which Mai we is und-r indict
ment, and it is apparent he was e u-
nutting perjury in order to shield hiui- i
self. Murgatroyd had nothing to d witu ,
the robberyof tlie BlaWe house. T.ia: w i
Committed by Malone, without any
assistance. His testimony ia regard to ,
having seen MnrsatroyJ the day hef re
anil the day after the murder is aL-i
unbelievable, and his sta:e.uent tut
Murgatrovd showed hint a pars audi
said he had "made a iiaal-' is pretty
strong evidence that Maio -e is g'liity of ;
U murder of Kobtrl Liting-.ou f r
purse was taken from L!viut-ji.e' :
body, and this is exact:' the kind of ;esti- j
mony a guilty man vald give in order
to fix the crime llitoa anoctier .
But before criticising our o fi.-.ais
we must view the matter irrni tir-ir ;
standpoint: A murder had been c ,-ai- j
mitted, anJ it was their duty to da tu;-.r
best to discover and bring to justice t ie ;
murderer. Word cams to ttiiui tint a :
number of parties in Janet ioa City were j
willing to swear that Murgatrovd, niiaj
had been working in a hotel there, had I
stated in their presence that lo- h il
killed a man st Gobie. T.iis was be:'vie4
there could by any possibility hve :
been any information as t a reward, i
They bad no reason to d iu it ill; truth
of the statement. Tnen there w.U tii.-!
explicit suteutsnt of Mai m-; and his I
ideutilicatiou of Murg it.-jy I's plu-.o- ,
graph as that of Toler, w ho, with ir-1 1
brother. Malone cl.ii me 1 li; hit: txt
Deer Island and weut wita to tie ioUj;:
camp at (joble. There is uo rea.tOiah:e : i
doubt that Murgatr jyj b jaste 1 ut J a is.- - .
tion that he killed a man at Uob:. It: ..t ,
part of the State's casa s'.ahJs uu lau.-
aged, and, if the public had kuonn o; i j
tnis testimony, as the officers knew, th;y j
would have deuianJed tlie urrest atid j
trial of Murgatrovd, cud would have i
denounced the officials for failure lo do-'
so. It would have been said that thv ;
were allies of the criminals and that a-, '
man's life was safe wudj they h-dd ! '
office. Ful on yaiir thinking cap and
consider if this is not true.
During the trial tney have U-i.-n gros-
sly misrepresented by the .rt-it cf tu-.-1
city of Portland, without tsc.-ptio i. U '
has been charged that there , a'i
"frame up m order to hanar ith in
nocent man, anl it has been .UhWr.u-.-iy
stated that Murgatroy-l n.5 ti t p.-rin..-ted
tc have conasel at his pr.iasiut-v
examination. There never w. s a :lo . ..
infamous lie toid by any n'.-w-iw.r
correspondent : A good woman , . ho.ji
neighbors esteem, has h-en linked w:t,
one whom attorney Abci s-tiui itiz 1 a
"a shame to her tex," th.-ngh he , -perfectly
willing 'ami rightly so; to u ;i
for his side of the cas-) both m.; i air;
women of whose chaiac'.er to re : .. ,
doubt, and who wers : ro M .r
gatroyd's friends and associate, ltis to
be hoped the young man hai h-nrncd a
lesson. He certain y needed it. li-.- , a
stalwart youth, capable of eamir.g ttoo i
wages auywheie in tins county, yut, ac
cording tJ his own ttc .inilit, he. h ,.l h-.C'i
a deserter from the navy, traveii-d ;.n
assumed names an I u.-.iiot i. iy
Bted with the wor t clats whtn vi-r
has been. Those who a-s .ial ; with
riffraff of the coannunity havt v
little sympathy cjiuing to them c
when unjustly accused. He was l.ea
lor uie penitentiary or u:e ti allol l, aoc
it is possible, if lie has tdamina enou;
to protit by the warning, that Ill s im
prisonment and enforced teuiheranc
me most lortunate inciueiit ot i.j-i w in
ward career. Such menus Jlargatroy i,
senior, areao honor to the race, lie h i.
stood by his boy in a manner that shoulu
touch the youtig man's heart, and,
though a poor man, has spared neilln.-r
ex pence nor trouble to secure his ac
quittal. It is true everywhere in this
country that the State does not sink
evidence for the defense as well as f n
the prosecution. It simply tries to prove
the accused guilty. Had Murgatroyd
been friendless, without able coum-c-1,
without the service of a paid detective
to procure evidence in his favor, Wh :o
Wduld have been the result
