Hart la Jftm nated. '
In making his decision. Judge
Phelps points out In hie written opin
ion that "on the showing maoe, this
court Is bound to find that the weight;
of the proof is with the state's contend
tion. This conclusion is reached not
without o?ne mistviMge And ieir il""
nnt for the fact that : the defendant
Hart has eliminated himself , by Ms
plea of guilty there would be ser.our
doubU Bui as I view it, such prejud
ice as might be engendered by the
matters mentioned in the showing :of
the defendants would be largely
against 'Hart as the actual slayer of
Sheriff Taylor and in an undefined and
relatively less degree against the de-,
fendanta Owens and Rat his and still
less against the defendants H end err
son and Stoop." ! ;; 14 , -, - f , '
The great mass off affidavits "pre
sented by the state, from representa
tive citixens in all walks of life and
from all parts of the county, could
not be evaded, under the law. Judge.
Phelps quoted from the case of State ,
vs. Cline, 50 Oregon,,429: VniIe a,
ruling on a change of venue is largely
matter of discretion for the ' trial
court, a conclusion must be reached
and the discretion must be exercised
by a weighing of the proof offered.'
96 Affidavits Presented.
Following the evidence presented by
fthe 96 affidavits of the state, , It la
thought in official circles that a fair
trial jury can bo obtained for all four
jdefendants, although it .. Is admitted
'freely that an exhaustive panel will ,
Jhave to be called. The defense has 12
i peremptory challenge" and the sta
lsix in such a cas. The opinion ' of
kludge Phelps . 'tnMta finsllmriflcrtfwf,
lea-presses his belief that the" defendants f
will receive a trial by a jury camposd
of fair and unprejudiced men if tried
in this county, but whether, such a
jury may he had without such ex-
expense and delay as to make a trial
here impractical is a problem that
time alone can solve.
Kerby and Rat hie were directly con
nected with the hand-to-hand strug
gle against Sheriff Taylor and Ouy
Wyrick when Hart fired the shot that
ended fatally for the sheriff. The
other two defendants. Indicted also
for first degree murder for their Jail
break, were in the jail until after the
struggle.
