The Oates case has become JOKE
among Texas lawyers, Notwithstanding
the seriousness OF the circumstances
which surround it.
This negro is alleged to have muir
dered Sol ArOnOff, a merchant Of Dali
las. The crime was committed on the
night OF November %, 1904 The VIC
time was a Russian Jew storekeepef
and was held up by a white man and
a negro. ArOnOffs wife entered the
store while her husband was being
robbed and fired at the negro with q
PISTOL. The white man fired several
SLOTS which killed her husband. On
the confession Of a white man who
claimed TO know Of the plans Of the
robbery Oates and Holly Bann. his
white companion, were held. The ne
gro was Identified by Mrs. Oates.
Appeals From First Sentence
The first trial Of Oates resulted in
his conviction and sentence to death
An appeal was taken to the court OF
criminal appeals and the case was re-
manded for new trial on April u,
1905. The ground for this reversal
was an alleged irregularity in drawing
names of jurors from the box to Sc
lect veniremen. It was not charged
that the men did not get a fair trial or
that jurors who were prejudiced were
selected It was merely a technical
point that caused the case to De re-
versed and remanded-
The second appeal from the death
penalty reached the court Of criminal
appeals and was decided May 9. 1906.
This time the case was again reversed.
The technicality that caused this deci-
sion was that the jury should have
been told that II the wife shot her
husband by mistake the prisoner was
not guilty OF murder. The trial judge
should have embraced this in his

tfce Of consideration so that it will be

gentle touch of a sympathizipg hand
Instead of the bang Of a troWel may

best stages it becomes a fine art. The

of his associates. He never lays a
