D. L. Bruner Found Guilty cf
Murder in the 2nd Degree at
Prinevllle.
The case of the state against D. L
Bruner indicted for the murder cf
Thomas Reily on Black Rock creek on
the 4th of April last was called in tl e
circuit court last Monday morning. The
state waB represented by Erank Menefee,
district attorney, N. J. Sinnott, of The
Dalles, and W. A, Bell, af this city.
The defendant was defended by George
W. Barnes, M. E. Brink and W. S.Hop
kins, of this city, and Henry McGinn, of
Portland. The defendant was attended
in court by his wife and father.
The work of empanelling the jury was
taken up as soon as court convened and
from the regulat panel seven jurors were
secured. Two special orders for ten
each were issued and from these four
more were secured by noon and another
order was issued for six more and on the
convening of court at 1 :30 the additional
juror was secured.
The case for the state was ably pre
sented by Mr. Menefee and M. E. Brink
for the defendant. The examination of
witnesses proceeded lapidly and by half
past four Tuesday evening both sides had
their testimony in. The evidence was
very conflicting on many points and a
great many points and a great deal of
feeling came into the case.
The charge of Judge Bradsbaw was
quite lengthy and, to our way of. think
ing, was a very fair set of instructions
At 11:45 p. m.". the jury retired. The
first ballot stood eight for murder, two
for murder in the second degree, and two
tut acquittal. This was the relative po
sition until about daylight when a com
promise was effected and a . verdict of
murder in the second degree was brought
in at 5 a. ni. ' .
The court convened Thursday fore
noon and the defendant's attorneys filed
a motion for a new trial which was over
ruled and then D. L. Bruner was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life. The
defendant's attorneys asked permission
to file a bill of exception and were
granted 00 days to file the same. Prine

This is possible where a woman
makes her own gowns, and there need be
nothing of the home-made look about
them either, if Butteri ck Paper Patterns
are used. There is no risk about a But

allows for disproportionate figures.
