SENTENCED TO HANG
FRIDAY MAY 8TH
CounEel for Picas Armstrong who was
sentenced to be bung May S by Judge
Eakln, at Baker City Tuesday moved
for a new trial, basing the motion on .a
number of alleged errors by the court
during the trial of the case, tho princi
ple one of which was nn alleged oral
instruction to tho jury, in the ftce of a
rcquctt by tho defendant that tbeconrt'e
Instructions should bs in writing. Jndgo
Eakin stated that the instructions civ-
en to the jury are all in writing and tho
motion was overruled.
A motion in arrset of judgment was
then medo, of the ground that the ver
dict of the jury did not state the degree
of the crime. This motion was also over
ruled. Armstrong stood up to receive
his sentence without flinching, A alight

i andwill be maintained from now on, Ills
' attorney gave notice of appeal to tho
Supremo Court aud was allowed SO daye
to preparo a bill of exceptions. This
makes it certain that the sentence of
death will not bo executed on May 8, at
a ctay of sentence will be granted when
the appeal Is perfected. The sentence
ot tl.e court Is that Armstrong shall bo
hung in this county, but an appeal will
result in the sentence being executed &t
Salem.
