““The existence of a motive for the commission of a crime by the defendant is not essential to his conviction for the crime of murder. However, evidence of motive in cases depending largely upon circumstantial evidence is always of value and is competent: State v. O’Donnell, 36 Or. 222 ( 61 Pac. 892 ); State v. Martin, 47 Or. 282 ( 83 Pac. 849 , 8 Ann. Cas. 769); State v. Hembree, 54 Or. 463 ( 103 Pac. 1008 ); State v. Start, 65 Or. 178 ( 132 Pac. 512 , 46 L. R. A. (N. S.) 266); State v. Wilkins, 72 Or. 77 ( 142 Pac. 589 ).””
