Or. Not. 10.- A prlntad brief i, of 0 par ra, prepared by TV. M. Kaiser t of Knlem and Wallaca McCamant oi ' rortland. and a printed argument of 4i l-agce by William P. lord.were fllod'ln petition for rebearinar In the supreme court today in. tha eaae or J. Thorburn j llosa. The foundation haa been laid. It I Is believed, for carrying the case to the j .supreme court of the United alates If the rehearing should not bo granted by ! the Oregon court - The constitutional point by which It Is expected the Rosa case will bo taken t n appeal to the supreme court Of the United States la the matter of the enor- . mous fine Imposed by the statute for t the offenve of which Xtoss waa found j guilty, and which tho counsel for Rosa holds to be ao excessive as to be a, vlo- 'latlon of that section or the constitu i;tlon of Oregron, which reads as follows: I . "Excessive ball shall not be required ! nor excessive fines imposed. Cruel and unusual punishment shall not be in j'fllcted, but all penalties shall be' pro- l.portirmate to the offenses," . i It la contended by McCamant and i! Kaiser that the fine of nearly $600,000 imposed oy ino lower court is excee J 'slve within this section of the constitu- i ftlon.. ' The statute under which Rossi was found sTuilty provides that any per i i son found guilty thereunder shall be -f'subiect to lmnrlsonmrtit In the nenlten- Inry and a . fine of twice the amount embrazled, which In this case was near- ly 1290,000. ' ' ' jl Sentenced to ve Tears. I " Ross was sentenced by Judge George ! ;H. Burnett of the Marion county circuit 'court to five years in the penitentiary iand to pay the fine of twice the amount! I mbezKlerl." In the event Rosa could f to spend ; one day, In the Multnomah tcounty Jail for each t2 of the fine. This 'was also a' provision of the law rea-ard- ninar which tho trial Judge had ho alter- ; native, and which If not aet aside would , Jhave compelled Ross to serve something! over '800 years in Jail. The supreme j ; court did set aside the Jn.Il sentence, but! not the fine, so' that tha Judgment of ; nearly 1600,000 would still stand against Ross. , ' - 1 j "This penalty Is Imposed," reads Me- .Camant a brief, "in race of the fact J established In the record of this causal rand well Known; to the public, that not I a dollar of state money has been lost j t by the transaction on which this pros fcecutlan is predicated.-. Clearly the court has not taken the action which tho con-i Institutional rights of the appellant call Jifor. We contend that the Judgment: Mfrom which we appeal even as modified i J f by the court is obnoxious to this constl ttttution guaranty. f $ "The imprisonment in flagrantly dis- lapproportfonate . to any wrongdoing ji which can. be laid at the door of, the' i appellant, and if the fine la not exces- jelve we cannot imagine of any case ia! Jj which the -court would be Justified in declaring a fine excessive. Wa have 7 mourrrimA ,tha tifwiVn hut V n & Vmam .... $ able to find any : case where a fine of I J this size has been Imposed by any court i sod we have therefore been unable to i has been called upon to review a nen- Jalty equivalent to that Involved In this I Dnty of tha Court. t "But - the ; constitutional provision i quoted abova certainly means some f thing. like all otier constitutional (provisions It is binding, both upon the legislature and upon the Judiciary. If (the court finds that an excessive fine ! lias been imposed,- under tha paramount II law of the state. It Is Its duty to re- lieve from such- fine.' Several points'' put forward In t the s t 1 1 first instance in behalf of Ross are re ! ; Iterated, auch as the lack of criminal re j e sponsibility of Ross, tha repeal of the J J law allowing tha district attorney to I , b r! n ff" ! n fnrm afinii inlnet ; which the counsel , for Ross contend makes the indictment against him of no , effect and that the special deposit law of 1907 repealed the section1 of 1807 of . the coda under which .Ross was convicted.,:,- - ; : . ..... Judge Lord's brief la a straightfor ward argument for Ross, taking up 10 -or 11 points and exhausting thera .thor oughly. .In concluding Judge Lord ro- t, marks as follows: "We extremely rr. tha ..i " - CT - W umM(J of asking for a rehearing, a request wa naver seiaom maaa, and our excuse Js " that in our Judgment the conclusion of tha court la not that sustained by the , law nor Ja Ita reason, applicable to the conditions of the case, and in view of the awful consequences which tha Judg ment must inflict, if carried Into exe cution, we trust that a love of Justice, coupled with a proper administration of tne law. rrey accorded to Its members, will lead the- court to reexamine tha foundation Of Ita opinion on which lu juagment is baaed, and if any errors have occurred to correct them and reach m liiifrmAiir lid f a j a t i . .
