HEMBREE's CASE IN BALANCE
Judge Burnett Takes Matter OF New
Trial Under Amusement.

TILLAMOOK, Ore, July 49, In
the arguments for new trial in the
Hcmbree case at Dallas, Jdge Bur-
nett has taken the matter under adj
yisement. The grounds upon which
Hcmbree's attorneys based their
motion were that the Judge had no
right to allow the evidence Of M. II.
Larsen. the hotelkecper, who testified
that when Hembree took his daugh-
ter to the hotel he occupied the same
bed with her at night. When this
matter came up at the trial the de-
fense objected TO Larscn's testimony,
but after Judge Barnett had taken
the matter under advisement over
night, he allowed Larsen to testify.
Should a new trial be granted, Hem
bree cannot be tried again until next
December at Dallas.
