Arguments of Attorneys for De-
tense of Jail Breakers Heard
Yesterday Morning; Decision
Follows Review.
MASS or AFFIDAvITS
DIRECTS CONCLUSION
Judge Believes Fair Jury Can
be Secured Here to Hear
Claims of Alleged Slayer OF
Sheriff Taylor.

The motion OF attorneys for E1v.e
D. Kerby, John T.. Rathie. Irwin L.
Stoop and Floyd Henderson, foE - p
change of, venue. this afternoon Was
denied by Circuit Judge g. W. Phelps.
He set the trial of the last two named
for Monday Seos--2s.
Arguments By attorneys for the de-
fense and for the state were heard
yeste rday morning and the opinion to-
day followed careful consideration uf
all the evidence al. yesteray alter
room and evening. The judge ex-
lained this afternoon that should dsf-
ficulties be encountered in sfJacrs1g 2
jury to try the first defendants, d
change of Venue might later 0e "a sst.t-
cd in the case of Owens and Rathie.
Otherwise, their trial will follow that
Of Stoop and Henderson.
Hart Is ETrmnated.
In making his decision. Judge
Phelps points out in his written opin-
ion that ION the showing MADE, this
court is bound TO find that the weight
of the proof is with the states eonten-
ton. This conclusion is reached not
without some misgiviisgs and = ere i
mt for the fact that the defendant
Hart has eliminated himself by his
plea of guilty, there would be serious
doubt But as I view it. such prejud-
ice as might be engendered by the
matters mentioned in the showing sof
the defendants would be largely
against Hart as the actual slayer OF
Sheriff Taylor and in an underlined and
relatively less degree against the de-
PENDANTS Owens and Rethis and still
less against the defendants Hender-
son and Stoop."
The great mass of affidavits pre-
scented by the state. from representa-
tive citizens in all walks Of life and
from all parts of the county, could
not be evaded, under the law. Judge
Phelps quoted from the case of State
VS.. Cline, so Oregon Ss42s: While a
ruling on change of venue is largely
a matter of discretion for the trial
court. conclusion must be reached
and the discretion must be exercised
by weighing of the proof offered
9e Affidavits Presented
Following the evidence presented by
the 90 affidavits of the state, 1t is
thought in official circles that a fair
trial jury can be obtained for all four
defendants. although it is admitted
freely that an exhaustive panel Will
have to be called. The defense has t2
peremptorv challenges and the state
six in such cas-. The opinion of
Judge Phelps i'm its finaa afJaragfA fssF
expresses his belief that the Defendants
will receive a trial by jury c0mposd
of fair and unprejudiced men If tried
in this county. but whether such
jury may be had without such ex-
expense and delay as to make trial
here impractical is a problem that
time alone can solve.
Kerby and Rathie were directly con-
nected with the hand-to- hand strug-
gle against Sheriff Taylor and Guy
Wyriek when Hart fired the shot that
ended fatally for the sheriff. The
other two defendants indicted also
for first degree murder for their Jail
break, were in the Jail until after the
struggle.

Families leaving the city store their
