The entry reads: “It appearing to the court that, since the trial and finding of the court on April 17, 1923, that the Honorable John C. Moran, special judge herein, has departed this life and that final judgment has not been entered or rendered, now therefore, I, Sol A. Wood, the regular judge, do nominate the following named members ot his liar, to wit: George M. Eberhart, Jolin Eggeinan, James H. Rose, Fred H. Slioaff and Clyde Reed, from whom a special judge shall be selected to complete said cause.” The entry of Judge Woods brings to a decision a question which caused much discussion among members of the bar. some of whom expressed the opinion that since the late Judge Moran, of Decatur, had died before entering a final judgment, that the case would halt where it was left and that Meland would go free. Judge Wood, however. found authorities which justify the action he has taken. The state's attorneys and Meland will have the privilege of striking names from those nominated by the judge and the name remaining aftet each side has eliminated two will be the special judge to carry on th'' case. He will act first on Meland's motion for a new trial. If granted he will conduct a rehearing of the entire case. o z Portland Boy Drowned in River Yesterday Portland.
