ATTORNEYS TRY TO
SECURE BAIL FOR
CLARENCE BURSELLL
Claim That There Is No First
Degree Murder Since New
Law Was Passed

An attempt to secure bail for man
accused of murder in the first degree
win be made by Attorneys Carson and
Brown in the case of Clarence Bursell
charged with the murder of C. o. Zim-
norman. At the preliminary hearing
held in Justice Web3ter's court yester-
day afternoon Judge Webster refused
to fix bail and the attorneys stated that
they would take the case up in the cir
cult court tomorrow morning and petit
tion the judge to admit Bursell to bail.
The attorneys argue that there are only
two offenses for which no bail can be
secured first degree murder an d
treason. Since the capital punishment
has been abolished in Oregon, they ar
que that there is no first degree muir
der but only second degree which is a
bailable offense.
At the hearing yesterday Mrs. G. o.
Zimmerman, wife Of the murdered man,
was the principal witness for the state.
She testified that she was standing in.
side her yard less than 100 feet from
! her husband when Burseil came along
the lane with a rifle on his arm. She
asked him why he always carried gun
when he came near their place. He
| threw his 30 rifle to his shoulder and
| fired at her husband and she heard the
bullet whistle over her head. At the
second shot she said she saw blood
tricklng down her husband IS forehead
At this time she started to run to-
ward her husband and was forced to rur
back about 95 feet to get to the gate
While her back was turned she heard
three more shots and when she reached
her husband IS side, Burscll warned hel
away telling her he would shoot her il
she interfered. Bursell then went away
and she took her husband s head in hcr
lap but he was dead.
Sheriff Esch was called to the stant
and told of the finding of the body anC
the rifle. The pistol he secured at tn,
Bursell home after he had taken Bur
sell into custody.
