High Court Gives
Doris New Trial

The news that James Goris of Wal
Iowa vas granted u new trial by the
supreme court was received last week
just in time for brief a.ention in the
News Record. A Stlem dispatch gives
particulars. Dorris was convicted q
the killing of Charles &. Sims at Los.
tine in 1906 and was sentenced to l(
years in the penitentiary. Doris was
running Il paper in Lostine at the time,
and Sim was u stranger who came into
the county to canvass for maps.
The killing was admitted, but Doris,
a man weighing l25 pounds, claimed
that he had been assaulted by Sims,
man weighing 1856 pounds, and drew a
revolver to defend himself, but the
revolver was accidentally fired, inflict
ing wound from which Sims died next
day. 1t seems that Doris was the
aggressor in controversy concernin 8
Senarks Sims was alleged to have made
to some ladies playing for dance,
During the contr oversy Doris called
Sims I'D liar" and Sims struck
Doris. The shooting followed imme d.
lately.
Sims made death. bed statement but
there was evidence that he entertained
hopes of recovery, though told by his
physician that he might expect the
worst. At the first trial the death bed
statement was admitted in evidence
and the trial Judge, T. H. Crawford,
instructed the jury that this statement
was entitled to the same consideration
as testimony given by witnesses unde,
oath. The supreme court reverses this,
holding that the facts as to Sims hope
OF recovery should also have been SUBJ
mitted to the jury SO that they could
determine whether the statements were
made under such circumstances az
wonld entitle them to consideration al

fsd was the admission of the syidencf
