The Indictment Against Commissioner
Carruthefs Set Aside


The circuit court convened yesterday
morning and the proceedings were
opened with the hearing Of the case of
the State Of Oregon VS.. Charles Henry,
Defendant pleaded guilty of simple as
sault, and was fined in the sum of $50
and costs.
In the case Of Charles Olsen VS.. DR..
NJ. W. Walker the jury returned ver-
dict for plaintiff in the sum Of $50. A
stay Of execution was granted for 30
days, in order that defendant might file
motion for new trial. An interesting fea-
ture in the case was developed by a
ruling Of Judge Mcbride to the effect
that the ordinance appointing Dr.
Walker city physician did not delegate
to him the power to burn property be-
longing to smallpox or other patients
suffering from contagious or infectious
diseases. AS the trunk the destruction
Of which caused the litigation was not
burned by DR.. Walker but by Captain
of Police Hallock, acting under instruc-
tions received from DR.. Walker, the
question whether DIR. Walker, having
no legal authority, can be responsible
for an act in reality committed by an
other, will, II Is asserted, be raised If
the case is again heard. II Is too late,
now, however to make Capt. IIallock a
co respondent. Should the motion for
rev trial be denied, an appeal will be
taken.
In the case OF the State Of Oregon vs..
VIM. Thomas. defendant withdrew his
plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty.
He was sentenced to one year in the
peniteDtiary and ordered to pay the
costs OF the action.
May Ross. indicted for larceny, was
sentenced to six months Imprisonment,
and the sheriff, having no proper place
for her detention, was instructed TO pro-
vide for her confinement in the Magda-
lene home at Portland for the said six
months.
The case Of Andrew Eskola, indicted
for assault was set for trial ON Satur-
day. Bonds OF the defendant. who
pleaded not guilty, We're fixed at $3.50
The case Of the State of Oregon vs..
An 81 was dismissed, on motion of the
district ttorney.
In the case of the State Of Oregon vs..
Z Robert Carruthers. Fulton Bros. asked
that the indictment be set aside, on the
ground that 1t did not state facts suffi-
clent to constitute a crime. The court
took similar view OF the case, and or
dered the indictment set aside.
Judgment for plaintiff was allowed
and stay OF execution granted for 40
days in the case of Isaac Larsen ct al.
VS.. L. r. Abercromble, and the costs
were divided
In tho case of C. Ahlers vs.. ]. p.
Merriheld the appeal was allowed to be
withdrawn.
Judgment on verdict was given and
