Assault Trial
Hears End
The trial of a 34-ycar-old tran
sient charged with shooting ;
Chiloquin man was scheduled to
go to the jury at noon today fol
lowing two days of testimony.
Arthur Summers is charged
with assault with a dangerous
weapon stemming from the shoot
ing of 24-year-old Lawrence w
Mose June 12 during a drinking!
oartv in a Commercial Street
residence.
Witnesses testified Monday that.
Mose and Summers had argued
before Mose was shot with the
.32 caliber semi-automatic pistol
The bullet entered Mose's side
and was the cause of internal
bleeding.
Summers testified this morning
that he pulled the pistol from his
iwcket because he was "scared"
of Mose, who, he said, had struck
him twice. Summers said he did
not remember pulling the trigger
of the pistol, however. Summers
said he Oost the gun later that
night before he was arrested.
Mose was subpoenaed in Port
land, but didn't show up for the
trial.
The case is being heard before
Circuit Court Judge Donald Piper
and a jury of three men and nine
women. Assistant District Attor
ney Robert Thomas is prosecut
ing and William Brandsness is
