East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-04-17

Circuit Judge Anderson denied the
motion of Mr.. Vests attorneys for al
directed verdict.
Mr.. West May Defend Self
Mr.. West is expected to make an
argument before the jury today and
it is now believed that the case win
go to the jury soon after he finishes |
Jurge Anderson in his ruling said, |
in part.
The principle of this case involves
most vital principle in our govern
ment the preservation of our rights
as individuals. The same principles
were involved in the Wiegand VS..
West injunction proceedings, at the |
time the court acted on the complaint !
Of William Wiegand. that the defend |
ant had threatened to invade Cop
perfield and run over property |
rights by the force Of arms. At that |
time a temporary injunction was
granted and an order issued request
ing the defendant to appear and show
cause why the injunction should not
review what transpired in that case.
Jury Warmed Against CIamor.
1T is sufficient to say that the de-
fendant filed an answed, a demurrer
/ was filed to that answer. A hearing
on the demurrer was concluded by a
decree overrufing the demurrer in this
court and the case went to the su-
preme. court.
This is the type Of case that in the
PAST has resulted from overthrow Of
law and order Sometimes judges
Waver at the clamOr and pressure
brought to bear by the public, and
sometimes jurors are prevailed on to
swerve from the duty which they
would perform il they acted cody
and deliberately. We must be guild
ed by the constitution in this matter
1t may be argued that the prop
eTty in question, liquor, is worse than
useless, but we must treat the case
as if any other form of property were
involved. as long as the United States
government recognizes it as such.
Military Power Defined.
I'm the previous case of this kind in
this court | examined many Of the
cases which counsel for both plaintiff
and defendant have cited as prece-
dent, and at first it might appear that
there is hopeless conflict. There Is
difference of opinion as to the
length which an executive may go in
enforcing the law The governor is
Invested with the power Of discretion
in declaring military law, but to
overthrow the civil government is not
contemplated by the Law.
This court must uphold the law
and interpret 1t and the jury must de-
eide as to facts. The question in this
trial is the taking and removing of
property.
Judicial Authority Denied.
THE opinion Of this court is that
the executive is not vested with judi
cial power to declare cause for which
goods may be taken. The jury must
say If these causes exist. For these
reasons I must deny the motion Of the
defendants attorney for a directed
verdict"
To eliminate useless arguing before
the jury, Judge Anderson gave his
opinion as to the element Of CONVEX
sion entering into the case, deciding
that the defendant had taken the
property Of the plaintiff and exer-
