TURNER TO GET
NEW TRIAL UPON
ASSAULT CHARGE

The decree of Judge ]. w.
Knowles of the Wallowa county
circuit court sentencing r. r.
Turner to a term in the state pris-
on on conviction of charge of
assault with intent to kill, is re-
yersed by the supreme court today
in an opinion written by Justice
McCourt and the case is remanded
for a new trial with instructions
to allow the motion to quash the
indictment returned by the grand
jury against Turner.
The opinion points out that the
grand jury meeting in November
following the assault alleged to
have been committed by Turner
upon ,one Crawford Hunter re-
turned not a true bill. The grand
Jury of the following May again
took UP the charge against Turner
without an order from the court
returning an indictment upon
which he was tried and convicted.
The opinion points out that the
jury exceeded its authority
in again taking up the charge
against Turner without first re-
reiving an order from the court.
Petitions for rehearing were de-
MED by the court today in the case
Of Livesley VS.. Strauss and in Ad-
Ter vs. Rosen,
The case of the Camas Stag Co
VS. Secretary of State Kozer was
advanced for argument.
The case of Quarles VS.. Wick
nan was dismissed.
