Hales, Adams. ft ft Whether or not drunken man is responsible for his acts may be the question for the jury in the Dale murder trial to determine. In out lining the defense Just before noon, Attorney W. M. Peterson for the de fendant stated that Dale would de clare on the stand that If he killed either Mr. or Mrs. Charles Ogllvy that he had no remembrance what ever of It and that he did it while so Intoxicated that he was not re- i sponsible. The picking of the jury was com pleted at 11 o'clock this morning i and the opening statements conclud ed by noon so that all was in readi ness for the taking of testimony this afternoon. The Jurors will not be kept confined In the jury room be tween sessions of the court, the at torneys agreeing to permit them to separate. However, Judge Phelps gave strict Instructions to them to refrain from all discussion of the case, District Attorn.y Stelwer In his opening statement declared that tha state would offer as proof of the de fendant's guilt, testimony showing that Dale went to the Ogllvy ranch on the night of the murder, the dy ing declarations of Mr. Ogllvy which fix the blame upon the accused, his revolver which was found near the Ogllvy place and other bits of evi dence tending to show him the mur derer of the old couple. The story as told by Mr. Ogllvy on hfs deathbed and as outlined by the district attorney to the Jury. Is sub" stnntially as follows. Dale rode up to the Ogilvv ranch about dark on I evenlnir last snrlnsr He was in an intoxicated condition, nnd. dismount-1 lng. approached Mrs. Ogllvy who was on the back porch. Mr. Ogilvy was himself in the milk house a few feet away and heard his wife tell the defendant that he was drunk and that he should go home to his wife. He heard the defendant curse her nnd then heard a shot. Hushing ou he saw his wife swaying and he rush ed to her, catching her in his arms Just as she was falling. At that In stant Dale piaeed the muzzle of the revolver against his side and fired. Mr. Ogilvy fell but in a few minutes was able to crawl In the house and ii 1 1 the stairs where he kept a rme. He could not find the rifle but. looking out the window, saw Dale ride away. He went back down stairs and crawled Into bed after first writing on a calendar. "Le Dale shot us both." There was nobody else at the Og llvy1 ranch at the time but about midnight James Stubblefleld. thf hired man. returned and retired In a tent only i few feet from where the body of Mrs. Ogllvy lay. He discovered the body the next morn ing and. becoming frightened, sum moned aid from Pilot Hock by tele phone. George Carnes. Frank Mich ael. Constable Newcombe.
