OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER , 1W4.
NEW TRIAL DENIED
DEATH SENTENCE PRONOUNCED
ON GEORGE W. LAUTH.
Friday, January 87, Date For Execution
Will Appeal to Supreme
Court.
George W. Lauth, convicted murdorer
rt Mrs. Leonora B. Jones tn this city last
September, has been sentenced to be
hanged nt the State penitentiary at
Salem, Friday, January 27. Sentence
wua pronounced by Judge McBrfde last
ijUtturday afternoon after a motion for
new trial had been argued and by the
court disallowed.
Senator Brownell and Mayor Grant B.
XHmick, cvunsel for Lauth, basted their
motion for a new trial on affidavit to
the effect that one of the jurors that
served on the case, had expressed him
self against the prisoner prior to the
trial and before Wing examined aa to hi
qualifications to serve on the jury, Mr.
Brownell and Mr. Dimlck both argued In
support of the application for a new trial
which was resisted by District Attorney
Allen who Insisted that the prisoner had
been accorded a fair and Impartial trial
and that the verdict of the Jury was In
keeping with the evidence that was of
fered at the trial of the case. "o:nei
for the defendant were given twj.ily
Cays In which to die ulll of exceptions
and perfect an appeal to the supreme
court.
For the first time since the commission
of the crime, Lauth gave indications of
breaking down when sentence was pro
nounced. In announcing the judgment
of the court Judge MeBride addressed
himself to the prisoner to whom he said
he was satisfied from the evidence the
jury could not possibly have returned
any other verdict. The crime, said the
Judge, appears to have been premeditat
ed and particularly atrocious. Under the
circumstance. Judge MeBride admonished
the prisoner that the prospect of secur
ing a reversal of the judgment of the
trial court or obtaining a pardon from
the governor was very slight and ad
vised him that he had best devote the
time that intervened until the execution
of the judgment of the court by preparing
himself by repentance for another world.
Lauth was remanded to the custody of
Sheriff Shaver who at once appointed two
death watches. Lauth passed a restless
night Saturday night. He played cards
during the entire night with his keeper
and the game was continued with the
second death watch when he resumed
his shift at 7 o'clock Sunday morning.
Lauth not having had a wink of sleep for
36 hours. Brownell and Dimlck will im
mediately prepare a bill of exceptions
and apply to the supreme court for a
new trial.
Should Lauth be hanged, he will be
the first white man to be legally executed
from Clackamas county. The four Indian
murderers of Dr. Whitman were tried
and convicted in Clackamas county and
were hanged at an early date. In 1892,
Judge MeBride sentenced Wm. Hender
son to be hanged, he having been con
victed of the murder of Si Suter at
Canby. Henderson appealed the case
and succeeded In securing a commuta
tion of his sentence to life Imprisonment
Monday night Sheriff Shaver took
Lauth to the state penitentiary at Sa
lem, where he will be confined until the
date of his execution which has been
set for Friday, January 27. Lauth was
noi apprised oi nis intended transfer in
til a few minutes before the arrival of
the train when he made strenuous ob
jections to going to Salem. He thought
he would be permitted to remain at the
county Jail here until his appeal, to the
supreme court for a new trial had been
disposed of. The county authorities
here were desirous of having the con
victed man removed from the county Jail
for from his actions Sunday night It
was surmised by his keeper, that he
would commit suicide at the first oppor
tunity.
Mayor Grant B. Dimlck on Wednesday
filed notice of appeal to the supreme court
in the case of state vs. George W. Lauth,
who is under sentence to hang January
27, next for the murder of Mrs. Leonore
B. ones. Mr. Dimlck and Senator Brown
ell, who are Lauth's counsel, expect to
complete their bill of exceptions on
which the appeal will be based, within
the twenty days allowed by the court
They expect to have the case in read!
ness for argument before the supreme
court about January 1, which will enable
the appelate court to pass on the appeal
before the time of execution.

Cure Is taken Internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's

the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of -the two Ingredients Is

to assist Pastor Beaven, Is a man who
will command the respect of this com
munity In every way. He does not come
as a professional evangelist, but owing
to his peculiar natural gifts In this line,
the Oregon Baptist Convention, has in
vited him to this State to take up that
particular line of work, and from the
first whisper that he might be secured,
about a year ago. Rev. Beaven put In a
request that he should come to Oregon

Beware of Counterfeits. '
"De Witt's Is the only genuine Wit oh
Hazel Salve" writes J. L. Tucker, of
Centre, Ala. 'I have used it In my family
for Piles, Cuts, and Burns for years, and
can recommend It to be the best Salve
on the market Every family should
keep It, as It Is an invaluable household
remedy, and should always be kept on
hand for Immediate use." Mrs. Samuel
Gage, of North Bush, N. T., says: "I
had a fever sore on my ankle for twelve
years that the doctors could not cure
All salves and blood remedies proved
worthless. I could not walk for over
two years. Finally I was persuaded to
try DeWltt's Witch Haxel Salve, which
has completely cured me. U Is a wonder

Deserves Your' Patronage.
The growth of a community and the
success of its local Institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of Its people. It
Ib well enough to preach "patronize home
Industry" but except the service given
at a home Institution equals that of out'
of-town enterprises, this argument car
ries no weight and Is entirely disregard
ed, as It should be.' But with Oregon City
people it is different. A few months
ago E. L. Johnson established the Cos
cade Laundry, It Is equipped with the
latest Improved machinery and Is dally
turning out work that Is equal to any
and superior to much of the laundry
work that is being done In Portland,
Being a home institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
it is enjoying an Immense patronage.
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public,
Laundry left at the 0. K. barber shop will
be promptly called for and delivered to
any part of the city. Telephone 1204.
