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.

sum of $25,000 has been made available
for use in pressing an appeal of the
case of Mrs. Louise L. Peete, facing life

C Denton, according to apparently au
thentic reports today.

private attorneys for the Tight in the
supreme court. "Bather Lecomte Davis
or Joseph Ford, prominent criminal law
yers. Is expected to be asked to repre
sent Mrs. Peete. Public Defender Ag-
geler has been her lawyer.
Because of the apparent futility .of dis
covering important new evidence before

that plans are under way to base the
fight for a new trial entirely upon legal
technicalities.

of Planked Sections of Pacific
Highway Out of Oregon City.
Oregon City, Feb. 12. Present in
dications, developed from the con
ference here in regard to the rout
ing of the Pacific highway at the
southern entrance to the city, are
that the "new road will go oyer the
hill, rising from Fifth street, where
an under-grade crossing of the
Southern Pacific tracks will be es
tablished, and descending again to
the present highway nea the north
ern edge of the suburb of Canemah.
At the conference, held in the com
mercial club, from 10:80 to .2:30 today,
were Fred A. WHliams of the state pub
lic service commission, R. A. Booth,
chairman of the state highway com
mission ; W. E. Kelly of the state high
way engineer's office. A. C. Mercier,
superintendent. 1 and Ben Dev. counsel

from Canemah and one from West Linn,
Wallace Caufield; chairman of the com
mercial club committee ; Ralph Shepperd,
representing the Hawlejr Pulp & Paper
company, and a number of individuals.
The meeting was called at the instigation
of Chairman Hugh Mount of the city
street committee, - who presided, i No
formal action was taken, but the plan
of going over the hill from Fifth street,
as proposed by Wallace Caufield, ap
peared to meet with the approval of all
concerned. - -
Expected' oppositldn from the Canemah
delegation did , not ' arise, they agreeing
that the hill route was the best proposi
tion, but asking that streetcar service
be maintained from Oregon City and the
present roadway be kept open. In ac
cordance with the policy of the public
service commission, as explained by
Williams, the roadway will perhaps be
discontinued, as it entails a grade cross
ing.

railway company and the highway ' de
partment went immediately to work on
preliminary plans. ...-;
