To Lengthy Case.
With the prospect of at least a week
of legal battling, Deschutes county's
first and only murder case went to
trial today for the second time In 18
months. A. J. Weston, cool. Iron
nerved, smilingly confident, after a
year in the penitentiary, looks for
ward to acquittal, while state's at
torneys, their case reinforced by the
testimony which George Still well,
held until the last special session of
the grand Jury as an accessory, is
expected to give, are Just as confi
dent of obtaining a conviction on
the charge of second degree murder
of Robert H. Krug, aged hermit
rancher of Sisters on the night of
March 24, 1919. A signed state
ment from Stlllwell said to have
been in the possession of Sheriff S.
E. Roberts since Stillwell's arrest in
the fall is expected to be the chief
new feature of the trial. From tha
moment that court opened today.

Hamilton, H. H. DeArmond, and W.
P. Myers being the special prosecu
tors representing the state.
tlrcumstantial Evidence Used
Conviction at the last trial was ob
tained when Weston was enmeshed
in a net of circumstantial evidence
together with testimony regarding
his alleged admissions to the effect
that he had tortured Krug In a vain
endeavor to learn the hiding place of
the old man's secret hoard of money,
and had then killed him and set fire
to the cabin, destroying the build
ing and charring the body almost be
yond recognition. In an attempt to
meet this, the defense called wit
nesses to establish an alibi. The
jury, once on the point of disagree
ment, finally turned in a verdict of
guilty after being in session for 17
hours.
