While the testimony goes to show! William Branson and Anna Booth iiroli ably did the killing of William Uootn there is nothing in the evidence that show there a t asnnr, u iiiiempt was ninue , at the trial to prove this point but theH"",' ni,,,iTO retreat into poaitioil supreme court finds nothing that indi cates such was a fact. Therefore it deemed the charge to the jury by the j court an excellent exposition oi' ab stract law if the record showed a eon- spiracy. The concluding portions of' the instructions to the jury arc erroi ; and were prejudicial to the interest ot j the defendant. In this respect, thi court says: " Elimination ofthe ques- tion of conspiracy might well have a direct, influence on the jury's deter I munition of the degree of crime in the acts charged as crime, and such a de- tenninatioii must alwavs remain aa a function of the jury rather than of the court. . Eight Errors Alleged There were eight alleged assignments of error in the trial of the cause. . The trial attracted widespread attention at the time and though the evidence ten.N to show the parties were probably guil ty, the fact, has not been conclusively proven. William Booth was the husband of Anna Booth, and they lived at ilia mina, Yamhill county. William Bran son, 23, lived with his parents in W il lnmina. On the afternoon of October 8, 191!. about 1:30 o'clock a shot was heard near the river on the premises of Mr Vntes Sltlfiut 1 XL mitpu nnvth- west of the town. Abon;t 3:3o' 0 'dock a man named Carter discovered the body of Booth on the bank of the Wil lamette river and notified the authori ties. An inquest was held and foot prints of a man and a woman were round in the loose sou. A woman s hair "rat" was also found, Evidence submitted over the objec tion of thev defense tended to provt uooin was , eaious ot the su i uoseii in timacy of the defendant ami his wife. Witnesses declared they saw Anna Booth walking along the county road about 1 o'clock on the day of the niu.- der and in the direction where the body was subsequently found. A few min utes later, Branson was seen going in the same direction and each passed Axel Nelson, who was sitting in a wa gon talking to a woman, Mrs. Yates, over the objections of the defense, testitied she heard u shot nenr the river bank at the foot of her garden and that she went to invest! gate and saw Anna Booth in the road near where the bodv was afterwards discovered. Evidence Erroneous The defense urged all the evidence erroneously admitted because it vio lated a statutory rule that evidence of! the act of a conspirator can be given! against a co-conspirator until after the! proof of conspiracy. The court holds j that the testimony does not involve! declaiu.vons 'of Anna Booth against j Hranson. The court says there is a marked distinction .jetween evidence I showing Conspiracy and that which! tends to disclose joint action. The evidence was therefore property admit j ted. The defSltSS contends that the tcsti , mony regarding a comparison of the! "rat" found near the scene ot the murder and the "rats" in Anna Booths j 'room was incompetent as the witnesses! I did not qualify as "rat experts. I'omidaiiit was also mndo conceruuiL' i (Melon of adulter1 on the part of Bran son and Mrs. Booth and thus give a motive for the shooting.
