RELATIONS EVIDENCE
IN GAINES CASE IS
• NOT ALLOWED; JUDGE
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY COLVIN
STARTS TO REBUILD
SEATTLE CASE
SEATTLE, Aug. 12 (/P)—Colvin
started on the rebuilding of the
Gaines case after the Judge ruled the
relations evidence was inadmissable
at this time. “The whole thing re
solves itself down to the question of
what is relevaht. It is quite clear to
me that there must be some casual
connection establishing or tending to
establish a motive, impulse, or some
force that would lead to the result be
fore the introduction of what would
be wholly a collateral affair. But this
is not a foreclosure of the state as to
the right subsequently of having tes
timony admitted upon the showing of
any set facts tending to bridge the
gap between the motive and crime.’*
