State v Spain McGrath Morse trial opens with Lund testimony
Roy Lund, Oregon penitentiary convict and key witness, testified in the trial of John Spain Henry McGrath and Zibe Morse for horse stealing.

The defense challenged Lund’s grand jury testimony and the admissibility of the Dalton brand, while prosecutors and defense lawyers clashed over procedures as the case proceeds in Union County Court.
