Defense of A. C. Warrlner, Charged
With Knnning Down Woman on
Highway, Contends Crime
Is Xot Specified.
The question of whether the indict
ment against A. C. Warrlner, who, as
a result of having run down Mrs. Al-
freda Beckman with his automobile
on the Columbia River Highway Sun
day, April 9, Is charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon, sets forth
sufficient facts, was argued before Cir
cuit Judge Morrow ln the Circuit
Court yesterday.
Judge Morrow announced that he
probably would hand down his de
cislon this morning.
John F. Logan, attorney for the de
fense, contended that the Indictment
was not specifically sufficient, in that
it failed to set forth how an automo
bile, not inherently or by common use
as such, could be construed as a dan
gerous weapon. He declared that the
ndictment should specify how the au
tomobile on that particular occasion
was a dangerous weapon.
State Opposes Contention.
Deputy District Attorney Hindman,
who is handling the case for the state.
declared the question of how the auto
mobile in that specific instance can be
construed as a dangerous weapon Is a
matter for proof rather than one of
charging. He declared that it was a
subject which should be properly taken
up ln the testimony and not in the in
dictment.
He referred in his argument to ordi
nary assault and battery cases, saying
that it is enough In such Instances to
merely charge the defendant with as
saulting and beating and unnecessary
to explain tne circumstances of the
action. Assault with a dangerous
weapon cases he declared to be similar
and contended that sufficient facts
were brought out to constitute an in
dictment against Warrlner,
I,w I Quoted.
In substantiating his argument Mr.
Logan quoted the law governing the
required contents of an indictment, as
follows:
"The particular circumstances of the
crime charged when they are neces
sary to constitute a complete crime
