the subject this spring.
!. Myra Clark, daughter of David
Clark, was them called to the stand,
and stated that she had been keeping
company with Grover Martin from
the first of last October to the time of
! his arrest. Also that few nights be-
| fore the shooting had occurred, Mar
tin showed her pistol which he was
carrying, saying that he was doing SO
because of trouble with Preston over
his daughter.
Mrs. Preston, widow of the dead
man, who was next called, is probab-
ly the strongest one for the prosecu-
tion. She is slightly fieshy woman
OF middle age, and is matronly appear
ing. She was dressed entirely in black
and told very direct story, and had
good control of herself On several
occasions she graphically illustrated
to the jury the positions of the 6iTer-
ent parties in the affair, among other
things showing the helpless condition
of her husband at the time he was
shot.
According to her story, she was first
told of the fight by her daughter
Minnie, and she at once ran to the
house, crawling under the wire fence
to get to the road. Her husband was
then almost under the wire, and she
saw Mr.. Clark help him to his feet.
On cross-examination she declared
that her husband had not placed his
left hand behind him, and also that he
had no weapon of any kind on his
person. She gave her position as be-
ing about 10 feet away at the time of
the shooting, and said that Martin
was six or eight feet from her hus-
band.
Right after the shooting she turned
to Martin and said: "You know you
are guilty" At this she said he
gave her a look that made her think
that he might also shoot her. She
then told of 'phoning for the doctor,
of the carrying of her husband into
the house, and of his death few
hours later.

was asked concerning grip or valise
that was taken from her house on the
Sunday before her husbands funeral,
it being the opinion of the defense
that among the things taken at that
time was pistol that had been pre-
yiously carried by her husband How
ever, Mrs. Preston said that the grip
contained no such weapon; that it
merely had apparel for her daughter
Minnie, who was to accompany T. g.
Smith, Mrs. Preston's brother, to
Echo, SO that she might be away from
the surroundings for a time. She
stated that they wished to keep this
visit quiet, and that she had heard
of threats against her daughter.
The arguments of the attorneys was
made before the court yesterday, and
the case went to the jury. Grover
Martin took the witness stand Wednes-
day afternoon. His testimony as re-
ported in Pendleton paper was:
About two weeks before the homi-
eide Preston saw him at his office
and said he had a talk for him. ;

IT'S MANSLAUCHTER-
JURY DELIBERATEs AND RE
TURNS VERDICT EARLY.
Martin Bears Up Bravely and Coun-
sci Will Make Motion for
a New Trial.

Pendleton, June 23.-Grover Martin
will not be hanged nor imprisoned for
life for killing o. N. Preston near
Freewater ON Thursday, May 1s.
The jury deliberated over the evidence
for five aud half hours, arriving at
verdict of manslaughter at 8:45
o'clock last night Judge Ellis, Dis
trict Attorney Phelps and the attor-
neys in the case were notified and at
9:05 o'clock Grover Martin was es-
corted into the court room by Sheriff
Taylor. Immediately afterwards,
Clerk Sailing read the verdict.
The prisoner, pale and careworn
from the trying ordeal of the past
three days, sat down upon hearing the
verdict, showing no degree of mental
agitation or surprise. He had pre-
pared himself to meet his fate, what
ever it would be, and he was cool and
collected. Judge Ellis then excused
the jury and remanded the prisoner
to the custody of the sheriff.
Colonel Raley, the principal counsel
for the defense, said he had no COM
ments to make upon the findings of the
jury, but stated that motion would
be made for a new trial.
The taking of testimony in the Mar
tin trial commenced before Judge
Ellis Tuesday morning.
Minnie Preston, daughter of the dead
man, was the first witness called by
the state, says the East Oregonian.
She gave her age as 16, and in an
swer to questions stated that she had
kept company with Grover Martin
on two or three occasions. On Oc-
tober 10 she said she went to DR.. Full
tons dental office to have some work
done on her teeth. That DR.. Fulton
was then down town and that young
Martin had attended her. Following
this she stated that Martin locked the
door, and she admitted that illegal
relations had then occurred. Obiec-
tion was made to this testimony by the
attorneys for the defense, but they
were overruled by the state, and the
evidence allowed. Following the
above testimony the girl said she first
disclosed her condition to DR.. Client,
woman physician at Milton.
Following Minnie Preston, Mrs.
Ghent was called to the stand by the
district attorney, and testified that
Minnie Preston had consulted her on

naternal way and accused him.

maternal way and accused him.
"This Martin denied and said he
knew nothing of it. Preston said he
would have to pay $3.50 to send the
girl away or ne would put him be-
hind the bars. Preston asked him to
come down to his home to talk it over
with them.
Responding to question Martin
denied having illicit relations with
Minnie Preston ON October 10, and
that he is in any way responsible for
her condition. He claimed to have
gone with her but once, that, during
last summer.
Regarding the interview at the
stable with Preston and Martin, he
said they asked him to go down there
with them, but he refused to go. He
saw a revolver in Preston's hip pock-
ct. They kept crowding around him
and he promised he would come down
that night, being afraid of them. He
then left the stable and went to the
Office, to which place they followed
him. On going inv the office he
secured gun and put it in his pocket.
Preston and Graham then came into
the laboratory and talked with him
more. Graham said: If you think
anything of your life you will get that
$3.50 G. d. quick, and had his
hand at his rear pocket. He then told
of being called out by DR.. Fulton and
went away. The next s,,y he went to
the country, staying away all day
through fear. That evening he sent
the Hurst boy down to tell them he
could not come. The next day he con-
suited Attorney Peterson regarding
having Preston and Graham placed
under bonds. Continuing he told of
taking Mary Clark home in his buggy
on May IS and of seeing Preston while
he was tying his horse. Later he was
called out by Mr.. Clark, who said:
Grover, a gentleman wants to see
you. He then had gun with him.
"On going out he met Preston, who
asked him to come over, and said:
You didn't come when you agreed
TO-. He was then followed by Preston
who said: You go with me, You
s----- of ---, or I'll kill you here.
The fight then commenced, and they
moved across the road, Preston being
knocked down. He said he was afraid
Of him. Martin denied all knowledge
of the slingshot and said he simply
struck him with his fists, Preston fall
ing on the rocks and saying, Take
that S. of q ----- off.
He then wanted Preston to prom
ise not to shoot and was afraid he
would do 50, Preston got up, picked
up the rock at which Clark said:
That won't do, but he did not see
the rock dropped. He then threw his
left hand behind him rapidly. Then
drew my gun and shot him. He said
he would not have fired the shot ex-
cept in self-defense. Then / 'phoned
for the doctor and later gave myself
up. He denied that DIR. Fulton had
said over the phone: You did it to
him, did you kid?' According to
him he carried a gun simply for self
| defense. -
