cial.) Brigadier-General Paul Walsh, of

vention of the Knights of Pythias, which

sense, to the almost perfect arrangements
of the local committee. The attendance
is upwards of 1000.
Bright skies and cool weather Is help
ing largely to make the gathering a suc
cess. This morning the grand lodge of
the Knights and the grand lodge of the
Pythian Sisters met and listened to wel
coming speeches and responses and after
the appointment of committees ad
journed until evening.
The afternoon was given over to the

for first place.

ture, there being many Knights on horse
back and the Pythian Sisters riding in
a long line of automobiles. There were
1500 Knights on foot.- The streets were
brilliantly illuminated and decorated.

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. The Supreme Court could detent
no error in the record
