O'Rourke Overrules Motion for New Trial in Dunn Murder Case
Judge O Rourke on Monday overruled the motion for a new trial in the Dunn murder case after a detailed, hour long review of testimony. He expressed impartiality, discussed the evidence surrounding the Sampleson girl, and discharged the woman as a suspect while preserving the defendant Dunn’s innocence in the eyes of the court. The ruling leaves judgment to be entered January 25, 1902, at term end with sixty days to appeal.
