The grand jury, at the regular April term of circuit court that year indicted Miller, Colwell and Bailey on a charge of murder in the first degree, but the charge of Bailey was dis­ missed. The other two men were tried, convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to imprisonment for life in the Oregon penitentiary.
