The members of the Law Asso ciation are reminded of the fact that the moot court will be held on Wednesday night instead of Thursday, as is customary. The change was necessitated because of the fact that the series of meetings to be held by the Y. M. C. A. begins Thursday night, and this action was taken as a special favor to them. Moot Court December 9. The case for trial in the moot court December 9 is one involv ing a question of usury. The attorneys are as follows: Plain tiff, Crawford and LaGrone; De fendant, Meyer and McLeod. Proceedings of the Moot Court. The regular weekly meeting of the moot court was held Thurs day night. A murder case, one of the most interesting heard this year, was tried. The ac cused was tried on a chain of circumstantial evidence. The abbreviated facts are as follows: The prisoner previous to the al leged killing had been on un friendly terms with the alleged deceased, having made several threats against him. The State tried to show that these circum stances constituted the motive for the crime. Subsequently, after the deceased had been n.issing for some time, a coat was found with a cut place and some blood on it. Coupled with this, the prosecution contended that the defendant when arrest ed made a confession admitting that he had fixed the deceased. A t the. conclusion of the State's case the presiding judge, Prof. Rucker, directed the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty, the prosecution having failed to make out a prima facie case. The attorneys were: For State, Schwartz and Webster; for De fendant, Adams and Duffle. Messrs. Charles and LaGrone acted a Associia .Jsesi FINANCIAL REPORT OF FOOTBALL, TEAM Large Deficit-Result of Past Season's Reverses. The financial report of the football team shows a deficit of $1922.57 less than the net pro ceeds from the 386 breakage fees signed away. The loss is about $800. Student's tickets to the Clem son and Citadel games cost the athletic association $375. Of course, the students have signed away their breakage fees, but they could help wonderfully if they would pay fifty cents ad mission to each of these games. The report below shows that the price of the season tickets should be raised from $3. to $5. If this had been the case this year, the Athletic Association would be out of debt and have about $150. left over for basket ball expenses. Navy Yard: Gate receipts ............$89.00.
