EVIDENCE

Though Tony ROSsa, acting as inter
prefer in the case of the state against
Toni Rose and Pete Male, in the su-
perior court of Franklin county last
Friday, did all in his power. it is said,
by the aid of misrepresented evidence,
to get his fellow countrymen Jailed, he
was unsuccessful and Rose was ac
Quilted while Male received SEN
tence of 80 days in the county jail.
This he is serving out in the local
Dastile
Rose and Male We're charged with
attempt to commit murder and had
their preliminary hearing in Pasco
some months ago. 1t was later thought
very probable that at this hearing,
Rosa, acting as interpreter, gave false
translate of the evidence and this
fact proved in favor of the prisoners
at the recent trial Frank Yuse was
then SubpOeaned and appeared at the
nearing to act as official interpreter,
but was given power to make such
corrections in the evidence as would
seem fit if Rossa did not testify cor
rectly He did not and Yuse. who
caught him up on several points, was
placed in his position.
Because of the difficulty in getting
the evidence straight, the prosecuting
attorney of Franklin county moved
that the case be dismissed. This was
done, Rose being acquitted while Male
was given 80 days on another offense.
According to the statements Of YuSe,
Rossa was at enmity with the pris-
oners and tried in every way to change
the testimony so that it would go
against them. In this he was thwarted
by the former.
