Triffiy Dutrie and Jerry PatnOde, charged
with murder, was called. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Evans, assisted by w. II.
King, prosecuted while w. II. Dickson and
o. w. Powers guarded the legal rights of
the defendants. This case, as will be re
membered, was tried last term of court and
a verdict of murder in the second degree
was rendered. But on motion an order for
new trial was made. The jury box was
filed and Mr. Evans asked as to whether
any of the jurors had conscientious scru-
pies against capital punishment But right
here the court stopped him and said that
the overwhelming weight of authority was
to the effect that a previous verdict of
murder in the second degree or man
slaughter acquitted the party of the higher
offense and that could not be considered in
a subsequent trial. His honor thought the
reason the other way, but he would not
set himself up against all these authori-
nd ha cbnp11 hpl hot
this case no higher crime could be CON
sluered than murder IN the second degree
