Counsel Files 100 Exceptions in Mullins Murder Case
Attorneys for James Mantir and Peter Co. Delorey, convicted of the Mullins murder in Ariington March 27, 1908, filed nearly 100 exceptions to murder in the second degree and manslaughter verdicts. They object to rulings denying jurisdiction for jury drawing and motions to quash the indictment, and challenge admitted expert testimony. Delorey’s statements in Mantir’s presence, offered at trial, are alleged inadmissible. The defense also disputes the court’s failure to rule facts could connect Delorey to a death-penalty crime, arguing his role was a contemplated assault prior to death.
