There are, perhaps, a few other as
Dirants for the place outside Of Cover

only candidate whose chance Is worth

The indications are that Mr.. Fulton
will receive the vote Of most Of the
members of the MuuItnomah delega-
tion, as well as the support Of the rep
representatives. OF the outside counties.
1t Is a remarkable fact that the other
alleged candidates, such as Messrs.
Bourne. Scott, Mcbride and others,
have steadfastIy maintained that they
were not In the race, and 1t would
surely seem that the Astoria man has

over the state.

real defence. The accused was not even
allowed to show the feelings or the re-
lations OF himself or his wife toward
the man who was shot John Keller was
shot by Thomas O.. Barker. If there
was no motive for this shooting, rea-
sonable or otherwise, then Barker acted
insanely.
But the state alleged and endeavored
To prove that tho accused acted with de-
liberation and planned 10 kill Keller. AS
Barker was charged with committing an
assault with intent to kill then in his
own defence he should have been allowed
20 testify as TO what his intent was the
question being one of specific intent"
Van Wrinkle also asserted that the ad-
mission of questions propounded by
Prosecutor Erwin was illegal. The ac-
cused was asked whether he had muir
dered "A man out West. Such questions
were all admitted against the objections
OF the accused.
Chief Justice Gummere and other MEM
bers OF tho Suprmeme court piled Mr.
Kalisch Barker's counsel. with questions.
and clearly intimated a disbelief that the
excluded testimony would prove Barkers
insanity and relieve him OF responsibility
for his crime in shooting the minister.
THE fact that he had been told that
his wife had been insulted, even IL he
believed the statement, would be no proof
OF insanity" said the chief justice.
Decision was reserved.
