Vanden- betg disqualified himself Wednes day to decide whether Alleged "one-way ride slayers Burdette Ochiho, 38. and Zelina Putt Ochiho. 32, are entitled to a preliminary hear m e to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to hold them on first degree murder charges. The Ochiho's are held without bond in the county Jail. They were arrested in Reno, Nevada, Fcbru nry 18 for the alleged murder of Edison Dutiv. 50-year-old ex-coiv vict. Duffy's bodv with a bullet in the brain was found on the north ern outskirts of Khunnth Palls. Defense Attorney Glenn D. Ram irez touched off a bitter legal con troversy al the courthouse Tues day when he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in circuit court and a motion to set aside waivers of preliminary hearing in district court. District Judge D. K. Van Vactor who was aroused over the double action, refused to grant Ramirez's motion. Wednesday morning. Circuit Court Clerk Charles DeLap was in structed by Judge Vandenberg to notify the chief justice of the su preme court in Salem that the Klamath County Jurist had disqual ified hlmselt to act in the case. DeLap said the judge has taken similar action in other cases in which Attorney Ramirez has been involved. It will now be necessary for the chief justice to assign another judge to act on the habeas corpus petition. When he denied the motion to set aside the waivers of a pre liminary hearing of the accused slayers. Judge Van Vactor said he was going to let the higher court decide the issue. The judge in terpreted Ramirez's action to mean that he was taking it for granted the motion would be denied when he initiated the circuit court action without waiting for a decision in the lower court. Ramirez claims that his clients are now being illegally held in ttrn county jail. Sheriff Murray Brltton was named in the habeas corpus action.
