strict performance of his duty, to put

In 183G both grandfather and father

lured by the large donations of rich
land in Oregon, they emigrated with
their families across the plains to this
state. Although they underwent dan
gers and privations on this overland
journey, yet never was regret for tbe

The journey was accomplished with:
oxen and was slow and tedious in the

" sons and to Encourage Vice, Idleness
and 'Breaches 1 of Peace - Important
; ; Opinion Bendered by Judge Bean.
" The keeping of sueh a house is ' a
separate aud well defined offense at coin
raon law, entirely independent of tbe
criminality of , the business eondueted
therein, it was punishable as a nui
sance before any. sort of gambling was
prohibited, or even considered to be
against publie poiiey, because it tend
ed to draw together disorderly persons
and to encourage vice, idleness and
breaches of the peace." Such, in sub
stance, is the holding of Justice B. H.
Bean . of , the supreme eourt, yesterday
noon, when be gave his decision affirm
ing the decree of Judge Fraser of the
circuit eourt for Hultnomah county, in
the case of tbe state, respondent, va
M. O. Xease. appellant, better known
as the "jpool room case." , )
Statement of the Case.
The ; appellant was indicted Novem
ber 17, lio4, for "the crime of wilfully j
and wrongf nlly committing an act
which grossly disturbs tbe publie peace
and openly outrages tbe publie decency
and is injurious to publie morals." Tbe
act complained of, was . that between
Oeiober 20 and November 1, 1904, the
defendant tlid for gain habitually sell
pools upon horse races and procure idle
and evil disposed persons to come to
his house to buy pools and bet upon
horse races to the common nuisance of
all good citizens and contrary to the
statutes in such cases made and pro
vided and against the dignity and peace
of tbe state of Oregon. The indictment
was based ' upon section 19 SO of the
code, "r A general demurer was over
ruled and the trial resulted in a ver
diet of guilty. A $200 fine was imposed
and the defendant appealed.
f The onlv Question cresented on the
appeal was whether keeping a house
where pools . upon horse raees were
bought and sold constitutes a crime un
der section 1930 of the code. The pros
ecution contended that, that section of
the code is a re-enactment of the com
mon law upon the subjeet of publie
nuisance in tbe particulars specified and
that to learn tbe meaning - of such
phrases as "grosMly disturbs the public
peace" or "openly outrages the public
decency and is injurious to public
morals," recourse must be had to the
common law of nuisance. Numerous
cases were cited from decisions in Eng
land and several states in this country
in support of the contention that the
keeping of a gaming house was a viola
tioa of the common law upon the sub
ject of public nuisance, in that it tend
ed to disturb the publie peace, outraged
publie decency and was injurious to
publie morals.
The defense contended that in the
enactment of section 1930 the legisla
ture did not 'Intend to adopt the com
mon law as to indictable nuisances, but
that this section was intended to ap
ply to breaches of the peace, indecent
exposures, dissemination of obscene lit'
erature and similar acts.
IS Declared a Nuisance.
Continuing the opinion says:
"That such a house is a gaming or
gambling house and punishable as a
nuisance at common law, whether bet
ting on a bprse race is a crime or not,
has so often an. uniformly been held
by the courts that it is no longer open,
to discussion. , There is no dissent and
it is , unnecessary to do more than to
cue authorities. :
? "By its charter the city of Portland
is antaorised to prevent and suppress
gaming and gambling houses, but not
to make sueh places lawful by licensing
them. Nor, as we understand it, are
these positions seriously controverted
by the defendant, but his contention is
that there is no law in this state i for
the punishment of tbe -keeper of a com
mon gaining houseV; j .
-" Now, there is no statute providing
specifically for such an offense, nor bate
we any common law offenses as such,
but section 1930 of the code is a part
of the original criminal code reported
to and adopted by the legislature and
was probably tsken bodily from the
draft of a penal eode for the state of
New York, generally xnown as tue nui;
sance statute. lt was evidently-'intended
to cover sueh offenses against
the publie peace, health, common de
cency and publie morals and sueh ss
grossly, injure ithe person or property
of another,' which are not otherwise
punishable by the eode. n
Independent', of any " statute the
keeping of a common gaming" house Is
indictable at eommon law on account
of its tendency , to bring together dis
orderly ' persons, promote immorality
and lead to breaches of the peace. Such
an establishment is thus a common nui
sance." S - . 1 v

SAN DIEGO, May 15. Armed wjtb
a rifle, revolver and dirk, eaeh of which
was used with deadly dexterity, a mad
man ran amuck in this eity today, kill
ing two men, a bov and a woman,
wounding two other persons and finally
blowing off the top of his own head
and dying in a few minutes. Three of
the vietims 'l'ved in the same house

whom be killed and the two who were
wounded resided half a mile away, and
in their house the maniac took his own
life.
The man who enaet-ed this ' ghastly
tragedy was W. P. Robinson, about
40 years old, of powerful build and of
some - education. The precise causes
which led him to this wholesale mur
der may never be ascertained. It is
known, however, that he was a heavy
urinker, that he was intensely inter
ested in the nihilistic movement in
Russia, and that'against two or three
of his victims he fancied he had some
petty grievance. On the other hand, he
is said to have been ordi narily a "good
natured man and Inclined to be gener
ous, one of the last persons likely to
take a life.. The general supposition is
that drink, and brooding over nihilism
brought on the attack of homicidal
mania.
