Some Specious Arguments as

Plea Diaphanous But it Went
to with the Jury
Olympla, Wash., April 21. Christ
Ilenson, who shot and killed his jailer,
David Morrell, In an attempt to es
enpo from Uio Thurston .county Jail
on March let, has been convicted of
manslaughter. Tho Jury returned Its
verdict at 9:30 last night. Thjo the
ory, It Is presumed, on which Benson,
who flrst attacked Morroll with a
piece of lead plpo, had doalstod from
tho nttack, and was endeavoring to
fleo when pursued and shot by tho
jailor, and was driven to protect him
seir by killing Morroll.
Tho attorneya presented their argu
ment, tho prosecution maintaining
that Honsou was guilty of murder in
tho first degree, having by his own
and other testimony shown that tho
deed waB premeditated. Tho defonso
maintained that as far as tho assault
upon tho jailor, with tho lead pipe, for
the purposo of rendering him uncon
(.clous was concerned, it was premedi
tated, but after ho ran from tho Jailer
to niako his cscapo, and found tho
doom wero all securely locked, ho was
no longer tho aggressor. Tho dofonso
nrgucd that tho shooting was dono in
8ulf-dofonse.
