Supreme Court Defines New Bole Gov
erning Opinions In Which Demurrers
Are Sustained to Criminal Indict
ments 'la the Interest of Justice.
In an opinion rendered by Chief Jus
tice Wolverton of, the supreme eourt
yesterday, the decree and judgment of
the circuit eourt for Marion county
was affirmed in the case- of the state
vs. J. C. Ryan, in which the defendant
stands convicted of larceny and is un
der sentence of three years in. the pen
itentiary. This is the case in which the de
fendant, Ryan, was convicted of the
larceny of $2iM) in gold, which was
pot up by John F. Roth, a former drug
gist or Albina, on aa alleged bogus
footrace which took place in this eity
in September, 1904. The testimony in
the ease tends to show that a footrace
was arranged between two supposed
professional ' sprinters, Huston ami
Morris.. Both claims that he was in?
veigled into the trap laid for him bt
Huston and Ryan, the latter represent
ing that he only desired Roth to puti
up bis money, as a business man, as a
guarantee of good faith and for a
showing of responsibility.
He came to Balem on September 23
and claims be was induced to draw his
$2000 out of the bank and put it up on
the race, together with that of Ryan.
The race was to have come off at the
baseball grounds on asylum avenue.
but, as there was a erowd there the
coterie of sportsmen and runners re
paired to an open field nearby, where
the race was pulled off. While the race
was being pulled off Huston, the man
backed by Ryan and Roth, fell down
and Morris won easily. Bets were de
clared off, however, and the race was
to have been run again ten days hence
In the meantime, however, the defend
ant, representing that the satehel con
taining the money had been deposited
in the bank, also that, it was his under
standing the race was to have been re
peated 00 the following Saturday and
Roth and Huston, not showing up on
that date,, he felt in duty bound, as
stakeholder, to turn the money over to
Raymond and Morns, which he did
During the trial it developed that
the money which Koth put up was not
ail his, but that the greater portion
of it belonged to bis brother as treas
urer of a lodge, and he immediately
set about to prosecute Mr. Ryan, the
others having disappeared, for fraud
and larceny. The case was tried in
the justice of ' the peace and circuit
eourt, a jury verdict of guilty having
been found in; each case, and Judge
rturnett rendered' judgment in accord
ance with the - verdict and sentenced
the defendant, Ryan, to three years' im
prisonment, from which the appeal was
taken. The supreme1 court holds the
evidence sufficient to show conspiracy
to defraud Roth of bis money and af
firms the decree of the trial court.
Guilty Should Not Escape.
A pecuiar legal i entanglement has
arisen out of an opinion rendered by
the supreme court, August 7, 1905, in
the ease of the state vs. Jesse tviiy,
jointly indicted with James Winkle,
from Lane county, in which the decree
of the trial eoart, in overruling a de
murrer against the indictment, was re
versed and the cause ordered "remand
ed for soeh proceedings as might be
necessary, not inconsistent with the
opinion." t 4
The statute regulating the procedure
n criminal actions, as in th ease at"
bar, requires that the appellate court,
when reversing, affirming or modifying
the judgment or' order appealed from.
must either order a new trial or the
defendant discharged, as the ease may
be. In ordering the cause reman1'l
for such further proceedings an might
be necessary, etc., the counsel for the
defendant and th district attorney:
oecame involve! in-another controversy,
the former contending that the revers
al was tantamount to a discharge of
the defendant, and so moved the trial
court,' while the district attorney ob
jected and moved that the cause be
remanded for a new trial.
! The ease coming up again upon a mo
tion to modify the supreme eourt
grants the motion and modifies the opin
ion that the trial court, in its discre
tion, may order a new trial. In ex
plaining its position and its reason for
not electing between ; ordering a new
trial er the discharge of the defendant,
the supreme conrt says that it would
be useless to order m new trial upon
an Issue which has already been net
tled, und the foundation overthrown,
"as it might result la discharging a
defendant in a criminal action., how
ever guilty he might appear to be, and,
possibly before another indictment
eould be returned or a new information
filed, it might be difficult again to ap
prehend sueh defendant and bring him
charred a second time for the same!
crime without an order submitting the
cause.'.;- ; J-;-.-:
In "remandin? the cause without or
dering new trial or the discharge of
the defendant the supreme eourt ex
plains thst it remains within the discre-
... . . . . 1 :i At
tion or tne rriai eour o resuurni i
canse td a crand jury or to a district
attorney after a demurrer to an indict
ment or to sn information nas oeen
sustained, and its discretion is this re-
speet cannot be controlled or reviewed
by the appelate court, except for an
abuse tnereof.
' Is Plenty of "Cause.f -
Deeming the allegations contained la
the complaint "sufficient to constitute
a cause of action,'' and especially so
since there was no motion to make it
more definite and certain, the supreme
court, ia an opinion . rendered by Jus
tice Moore, reverses ; the decree - of
Judge Burnett,' which granted a non
suit, in the case of A. C. Keene, appel
lant, vs. Naney J. Eldriedge, and re
mands the case for a new trial.
This Vas aa action brought by the
piainttaand appellant for the recovery
of $399.48, the alleged surplus of the
amount received for the sale of a piece
of property belonging to the Keene
estate, of which the plaintiff was an
heir, soul to satisfy a mortgage held
by the defendant and a Mrs. Harding.
The ease was thrown out upon a mo
tioa for non-suit because the complaint
was not explicit enough in its plead
inga, but the eourt held there was suf
ficient evidence for ground of action
and reverses the judgment of the lower
court. . ' ' ' . ' - 1
And the Fence Bemsins.
In the case of M. Christensen,1 re
spondent, vs. G rover Simmons, appel
last, an appeal from Marion county, in
an opinion of which Chief Justice Wol
verton is the author, the decree ren
dered by Judge Galloway is affirmed.
This is a ease in which the defend
ant, Kinimons, as supervisor of a cer
tain district in this county,' directed
the plaintiff, Christensen, to remove his
line fence in order that the county road
may be established in accordance with
survey made by Surveyor Seth R.
Hammer, in June, 1879.
Upon a re-survey made by Surveyors
lierrick and Culver, recently, and be
fore the action was begun, it was found
there was a difference of one-third of a
chain in the measurement from a given
point, the corner of the Hughes prem
ises and the supposed location of a
stake driven by Hammer. Christensen
broeght suit aa an injunction against
the road supervisor to restrain him
from removing his fence and the lower
court sustained his contentions. i-
Ia affirming this decision the supremo
court holds the survey taken by Her
rick and Culver is more apt to be cor
rect than that represented by the wit
n esses, which was based upon the loea
tion of a stake and monument, which
had been removed, and it so concludes.
His Bondsmen Are Liable.
C. H. Banning, appellant, vs. J. L.
Roy and J. W. Leneve, respondents,
from Coos county; J. W. Hamilton,
judge; reversed and remanded. Opin
ion by Justice Bean.
This was an action on a bail bond.
In March, 1904, plaintiff commenced an
action at law in the circuit court
against one Romander for the reeXv
cry of money. Romander was arrested
and furnished bail in the form of a
written, undertaking executed -by the
defendants and in favor of the plain
tiff. Judgement in the sum of $212.50
was secured against Romanderl but no
reference was made to the previous ar
rest and there was no provision that
execution against the person might; is
sue. I
When satisfaction was sought I in
serving execution against the person
it was found he had fled and this ac
tion was brought to collect the bail
from his sureties. The trial court sus
tained the defendants' demurrer to the
complaint and dismissed the action on
technical grounds and the plaintiff ap
pealed. The petition for a rehearing in the
case of Samuel Casto, appellant, vs.
Emma Murray, et al., respondents, in
which the supreme court rendered an
affirmatory opinion several weeks ago,
was also denied by the court yesterday.

Continuation of Strike a Week Longer
Win Force Every Factory to Shut
Down on Account of Lack of Coal-
Situation at Deadlock.
ST. PETERSBURG, Tuesday, Oct. 24.
The railroad strike siuation has now
entered a highly serjous i phase. The
movement is spreading rapidly to all
the railroads of the empire and anpar-
enty eannot be stopped, while in many
cities-it is communicating itself to the
mill and factory employes. A general
strike in all branches of abor, which
the Socialists planned for the end of
the year, is suddenly bursting forth of
it sown volition.
Minister of Finance Koskovsoff yes
terday received a telegram from th-
governing committee of Moscow, Bourse
stating the continuation of the strike a
week longer will force every factory in
the Moscow region to shut down owing
to the lack of coal, whether or not the
factory hands took part.
Threatens to Spread.
The same condition of paralvsis
threatens all tb industries of Russia,
unless the strike is speedily settled.
The inhabitants of Moscow are already
feeling the effects of the strike in the.
increased prices of fool and are even
confronted by famine. As the de-
demands of the men are purely political
it seems impossible to satisfy them by
economic concessions. Prinee Ililkoff,
minister of the railroads, in receiving
the members of the deputation sent by
the strikers, stated that while in Eng
land and the United States he worked
sixteen hours daily in order to increas
his salary, and pointed ont the super
iority of production of foreign work
men in quality and quantity at the
same wages received by Russian work
men.
Thi deputation entered a protest
against any man being required to
work sixteen hours a day, because of
such long hours he was precluded from
the opportunity 01 educational im
provement. The Prince, In reply, saiJ
that even with sixteen hours a day it
was possible .to devote one hour each
day to reading or other forms of amuse
ment. v . .
The Prince talked to deaf ears. The
men spoke of nothing : but political
rights, which of course, tlie prince was
powerless to grant. The situation is
apparently at a deadlock "from which
egress only may be had by the surren
der of one side, or perhaps the procla
mation or martial law on railroads. A
flood of dispatches from the railroad
centers of Kussia announced the com
pletae tying up of all transportation.
The last link that bound the Moscow
commercial center of the empire with
the outer world was broken yesterdav
when the men on the NicholaL road,
connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg
went on a strike. . St. Petersburg lias
one line to the frontier and t&e mploy
es of this line held a meeting last night
to decide whether to participate in the
strike. '
Witte Appointed Premier. .
St. Petersbutfr, Oct. 24.H is per
sistently reported in clubs and official
circles late last night that Emperor
yesterJay appointed Count Witte pre
mier, with a portfolio of minister of
finance. All this morning's
papers
give prominence to the report.
Witte Is on Top.
St. Petersburg, Oct, 23 Count Witte,
it now seems, will definitely- come into
imperial la vor, and the shrewdest of
observers consider it certain he will
shortly be active in the direction of
a government premier and the head of
a responsible cabinet position. Since
his return from Ihe (united States
Witte has arranged himself on the side
of the Liberals, and has not only advo
cated the complete liberty of speech
of the press and of the assembly as of
the corollary of the coming douma but
orged the extension of the powers of
the douma along the lines demanded
by he reformers ani the extension of
representation to the ranks ox the la
boring classes. "
The emperor to whom v itte outlined
his views, displayed much sympathy
with them, and it is learned he has
favored a number of ministers suggest
ed by the count, including General Tre-
poff, assistant minister of the interior,
one of his majesty's most broad-minded
advisers. The question of appointing a
cabinet with a responsible premier will
likely be decided Wednesday. , '
