THE: OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. : PORTLAND, .SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 13, 1921. SECOND TRIAL OF WAR BRIDE SLAYER TO OPEN THURSDAY Total Cost of First Proceedings Amounted to $1500, or an Average of $150 a Day. The second trial of Thomas Lotia o. who shot and killed bia wife, Tes ie, 'an English- war bride, last No vember," will begin next Thursday in the circuit court. The first trial, which was held last. month.,.resulted In the disagreement of the Jury. Apart from Its criminal aspect the LotlHBO crm furnishes a concrete ex em Die of the evil of carrying revolvers . and the prevalence of crime largely due. to the ease with which pistols and other , firearms can be purchased and the cost of the same from the taxpayers' stand point. The cost of the first Ixtlsao trial to the public was approximately 11500, or 1150 per day. This does not include the preliminary expense of arrest, arraign ment, indictment and cost of confinement of the prisoner in Jail for a -period of two or three months. Neither does it take into account, the fees of attorneys for the defense nor the cost to the state of gathering ' evidence and other prepara ' tions for trial. ' . , " It is altogether probable that the ex pense of the second trial will , greatly exceed that of the first for the reason that It is. understood that the district attorney will introduce a number of new witnesses and attempt to male out a tnuch stronger case. ' In the first trial the county paid -out .'.for the fees and mileage of witnesses 'the sum of 1 350. The trial lasted 10 days and the fees of jurors were $S60. In. addition, the Jurors and bailiffs were given three meals while deliberating on a verdict. This cost was approximately 160. Kor taking down and transcribing tne testimony the official court report er's fee amounted to $200. -Owing to the public interest in the trial' a special deputy sheriff was employed for seven aays to guard the entrance to the court room. This involved a charge of $35. Two deputy sheriffs were employed to conduct the prisoner between the jail and courtroom and to guard him during the time he was in the courtroom. This cost tne county 1100. To the total cost is to be added the salaries of the trial judge, f 130 ; two deputy district attor neys, $10; the clerk of the court, $40, and two baliffs, $80.
