The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Thursday, January 22, 1891, page two Sandy Olds is to have another trial, his fourth one for the killing of Emil Webber. This time he gets a change of venue and will be tried in Washington county. It is safe to say that he will not be convicted of murder in the first degree since the supreme court has virtually held three times that his offence was not of that degree. The case has been a peculiar one, and illustrates the fact that the law can be given a hard chase, in its pursuit of criminals, if the race is properly managed. LOCAL BREVITIES page Three A.J.
