Whether or not a drunken man is
responsible for his acts may be the
question for the jury in the Dale
murder trial to determine. In out
lining the defense just before noon,
Attorney w. NJ. Peterson for the de-
fendant stated that Dale would de-
clare on the stand that if he killed
either Mr.. or Mrs. Charles Ogilvy
that he had no remembrance what
ever OF it and that he did it while
so intoxicated that he was not re-
sponsible.
The picking Of the jury was com
pleted at II o'clock this morning
and the opening statements conclud-
ed by noon so that all was in readi-
ness for the taking Of testimony this
afternoon. The jurors will not be
kept confined in the jury room be-
tween sessions of the court, the at
torneys agreeing TO permit them to
separate. However, Judge Phelps
gave strict instructions to them to
refrain from all discussion of the
case.
District Attorney Steiwer in his
opening statement declared that the
state would offer as proof of the de-
fendants guilt, testimony showing
that Dale went to the Ogilvy ranch
on the night of the murder, the dy-
ing declarations of Mr. Ogilvy which
fix the blame upon the accused, his

The story as told by Mr.. Ogilvy on
his deathbed and as outlined by the
district attorney to the jury is sub.
stantially as follows. Dale rode up
to the Ogilvy ranch about dark one
evening last spring He was in an
intoxicated condition, and. dismount4
ing, approached Mrs Ogilvy who
was on the back porch. Mr., Ogilvy
was himself in the milk house a few
feet away and heard his wife tell the
defendant that he was drunk and
that he should go home to his wife,
He heard the defendant curse her
and then heard a shot Rushing OUT
he saw his wife swaying and he rush.
ed to her, catching her in his arms
just as she was falling, At that in
stant Dale placed the muzzle Of the
revolver against his side and fired.
Mr.. Ogilvy fell but in a few minutes
was able to crawl in the house and
up the stairs where he kept a rifle.
He could not find the rifle but,
looking out the window, saw Dale
ride away. He went back down
stairs and crawled into bed after

There was nobody else at the Og-
