Murder in Second Degree Says Trapp Jury
The State of Oregon versus D. R. Trapp ended with a guilty verdict for murder in the second degree after a five hour deliberation in Huntington. Judge Smith set sentencing for Saturday at 9 am, meaning life imprisonment unless a pardon is granted. The case centered on Trapp shooting Slim Jasperson at the Frazer saloon on a warm August day. A porcupine incident in Baker City later drew crowds as the animal lingered near shop windows.
