SUPREME 0
T
JUDGE UNA FOR REMARKS
DURING PROCEEDINGS
Four Principal Grounds Are Cited Which Relate to
the Admission of Evidence and Remarks Made by
Presiding Judge During Trial
SALEM, Or., April 27. Upon four
principal grounds relating to the ad-1
mission of evidence and the improper
remarks of both the presiding judge
and the attorneys, the supreme court
today in an opinion announced by
Justice, Bean reversed the case of the
state vs. Coss and ordered a new
trial.
The court held that where the de
fendent attempted to prove an alibi
the judge should instruct the jury
that tho exact date of the commission
of the ullcged act is material.
The remarks mude by Judge Ilon
nu during the progress of the trial
are criticized by the court. Tho fact
that the judge permitted evidence of
facts to be shown that were not in
cluded in the indictment is also held
as un error sufficient upon which
to base ii reversal, while he would
not permit evidence to be presented
to show the bitter feeling of hatred
for the defendant held by Mrs. Beoht, '
the divorced wife of Loss.
