fore this community. Before a witness
or juror in this case was summoned, the
attorneys for the defence in order TO avoid
tho risk and expense of another trial, offer
cd that the defendant, J. d. Whitney
would plead guilty TO murder in the second
degree and take life sentence in the PEN
itentiary. But this our prosecuting attor-
uey utterly refused to accept, chosing
rather TO put Marion county 10 one thous-

YAxPAYER.
We do not agree with Taxpayer in
the suggestion that the prosecuting at
torney should have accepted a plea of
murder in the second degree. Whit
ney was guilty of cold-blooded murder
or else he was entirely innocent of any
crime connected with the murder of
Oliver Hilbert. The defense did not
set up in any manner that it was any
other than a premeditated murder.
There were no hypothesis suggested by
which murder in the second degree
could have been considered The law
fixes he'degree of the crime neither
the court, the prosecuting attorney or
the jury had any discretion in the mat
ter.
The grand jury, distinctive element
in our jurisprudence, found that a mur-
der had been committed under circum-
stances that warranted charge of
murder. in the first degree, and there
was a sufficient evidence submitted TO
Justify an indictment against John D.
Whitney and Sarah A. Hilbert as the
guilty persons.
The prosecuting attorney would not
have been justified in compromising a
crime when there could be no doubt as to
the degree.
The only question to be determined
was whether Whitney was the person /;
if so, the law fixed the degree and con-
scquent punishment.
1t is true that in most cases there
are some circumstances that might raise
a question as to the degree Of guilt, and
where there is doubt, the accused
should have the benefit of the Doubt,
But there is no sense III finding per-
son guilty of stealing a saddle-blanket,
when no saddle-blanket has been stolen,
simply because there Is not evidence
sufficient to convict a person of stealing
a horse.

Hon. John Whiteaker, Congressman

capital. Mr.. Whiteaker left his home
in Lane county on Saturday evening,

Portland by special train Sunday morn
ing at 5 o'clock, and sailed on the BIder
for San Francisco two hours later the
same morning. He reached Astoria
about noon Sunday, but owing to the
roughness of the bar was compelled
to lie there until Monday morning.

ing the bay at Oakland, Mr.. Whiteaker

as steam could drive him. Salt Lake,

passed, and Oregon's Congressman was

Monday-arriving there at 10 A. NJ.

two of them-had deemed it best TO

Indians who have never surrendered,
but have winterod somewhere in the
mountains in that vicinity, only await

afresh their dopredations. Mr.. Officer
says it is the general opinion among
the settlers that this year will witness
a greater outbreak OF the red dcvili
than last year, and that the citizens ar,
