149 P. 536 | Or. | 1915
delivered tbe opinion of the court.
“You claimed, did you not, that some witness — some dissolute witness you had before the grand jury — • represented to you and to the grand jury that Mrs. O’Donnell has said yon were the father of her little girl, didn’t you?”
There seems to have been an effort during the trial of this case to cast insinuations upon the district attorney in order to prejudice the jury against him. Such attempt had no relation to any matter at issue, and was only intended to work upon the feelings of the district attorney or the trial jury. The answer may not have been a direct one to the question asked, but it certainly was pertinent to the subject suggested by the question, and was no more prejudicial to the defendant than the question itself and is not ground for reversal.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed. Rehearing Denied.
