LAW DEPARTMENT J. B. DIuie, Editor *++.+. .-. .... ..... .... Moot Court Assignments. The case of Grey vs. Thompson will be tried at the next session of the moot court, Thursday, Nov. 19. The case will be tried without a jury, the main point at issue involving a question of the law of agency. The following seniors have been appointed as attorneys: For plaintiff, Darby and Doyle; for defendant, Reese and Levy. The case should be of special interest to the juniors, because they are now studying cases on agency which are simi lar to the one at bar. Thornwell to the Front. At a recent meeting of the "embryo" lawyers of Thornwell College, but more particularly of the "inmates" of tenement 22, a moot court association was formed for the exclusive benefit (if there is any benefit) of the Thornwell aggregation. No definite time of meeting or permanent organiza tion was effected. It is current ly reported that a speciaty will be made of cases having to do with breaches of the peace, bi eaches of promise, alienation of affection, divorce suits and other dome3tic infelicities.. Out of consideration for the mem bers, the names of the officers of this noble organization are with held. Moot Court Proceedings. The c:ts on trial at the regu l.tr se,i.,) i of tie mnt court I'hursday night was that of the State v.. McBride, charged with the murder of William Daniels. The abbro>iated statIient of t'f facts are as follows: Daniels was founu lying on the sidewaik one nigih;: w;ith a wou;id in the back of his head, inflicted by some blunt insitrument, from which he later died. The prose cution tried to show mouve on the part of .viBr d for the .:o n mission of the crime by h.s a' tions at a former trial in which he was the d3feadlant in a case for selling liquor. It seems that the deceased and otihers were witnesses at this trial, testifying against McBride. In that ease McBride showed great indigna tion against the deceased and the other witnesses, saying that he would get even with thiemj. Another link in the chain of cir cu!:n itan tial evi dence o:Yered by the State was that Mcbride haLt Previous to the conmmission oi the crime committed assau Ls upon several of these witnessMes. By coupling these circumstances the prosecuting attorneys tried to show that there was malice on the part of Mc Bride and h it this g-rudgre or malice wa strong GORDON POTEAT TO Y. M. C. A. "Choosing a Life Work" Subject of his Address. "Choosing a Life Work" was the subject of a very forceful address at Flinn Hall Thursday night by Gordon Poteat, a travel ing secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. He laid down the basic princi ple that the choice of a life work should depend not upon financial inducement, but upon the op portunity presented for service to humanity. When there is only one doctor to every 600 square miles, and one preacher to every 250,000 pec ple in China, it is easy to see that the greatest need is on the foreign field. The Library The only biography of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, that by his son Win. Preston Johuston, has been put on the shelves with in the past two days. It is out of print and it was pure good luck that a copy was found at the Old Book Store just at the time when the life of Gen. Johnston is the subject of the competitive essay for the U. D. C. medal. The following tirnely books, recent:y pub::sled and just ar rived at the library, will be found o: deep interet on the countrics and t-eoples now engaged in the terrible struggle; to wit: Im perial Germany, by Prince Von Bu;ow; Belgium of the Belgians, by Bouler; The Hapsburg Mon archy, by Steed; The Balkans, by Sloane; Pan-Germanism, by Usher; France of Today, by Sab at!er; Modern Russia, by Alexiu sky; The Last. Shot, by Palmer a novel. These books and many others, not quite so recent, may he borrowed. enough to prove that McBride was the murderer of Daniels. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Hartz and McCown were the prosecuting attorneys, while Symmes and Cary repre sented the defendant. Professor Rucker pre:'ided and was as,ist ed by Messrs. brockington and Nicholson, the orner charging the ,jury. The case was very in teresting, presenting many ques tions concerning the rules of cir cumstantial evidence.
