Chance for a New Trial.
From the Corvallis Times


1t is related that McGrath in the Linn
county Jail under sentence of death, will
In all probability, secure q new trial. Ii
seems that in the '60s law vas enacted
by the Oregon legislature providing that
neither vile nor husband should testify
against each other, unless by consent oi
both. A subsequent statute provided
that should both testify in a cause where
in one was defendant the former statue
OF the '60s should not be operative. A
third enactment OF the legislature, made
in 1880, renewed the effect of the original
provision, and practically blotted out the
second. Mrs. Mcirath's testimony
against her husband at the late trial was
admitted in spite of the vigorous protest
of attorneys for the defense. The first
and second statutes weee brought to the
attention OF the court, and, as McGrath
went on the stand in his own defense, it
was presumed that the proceedings were
strictly within the law. Since sentence
was passed the third statute has been un-
earthed and now good lawyers say that
the supreme court is almost certain to
grant defendants motion for new trial,
all of which might transpire with a new
and.m merciful verdict.
