"PAT" MURPHY PRE SIDES AT MOOT COURT Interesting Case is Held in Law School. JURY SAYS "GUILTY" Defendant Charged With Man slaughter Duly Sentenced. "Pat" Murphy, a mnember of the Columbia bar, called the court to order promptly at 7:30 and called for the first case on (locket. This was a murder case -the State vs. James Young the last mock trial before mid year examinations. Bill Taylor was introduced by the State as first witness, who testified that he and James Young fired his pistol in the di rection of William Bell's house house, which shot killed Bell, who was sitting on the front porch. Taylor also testified that Young stated to him that Wil liam Bell had wronged him in a trade, and that he would never forgive anyone who has done him such an injustice. John Bell, son of William Bell, was then introduced for the State. The son testified as to the alleged trade and of his fath er's death. James Young, the defendant, then being introduced for the defense, stated that he had bought a new pistol in the city that day and wais testing it to see if it would shoot properly. This took place on the night of the killing. Evidence was introduced to show that one of the shots hit a limb on a tree and glaced also that there were no other marks around the place. The de fense pleaded "acci dent," and tried to show that the State had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, or that malice had in anyway been shown. The State endeavored to show cold blooded murder and argued that James Young had waited until he had gotten within shot of the house of William Bell be fore he fired his gun. Efforts were further made to showv that the bullet entered the body of Bell as a result of a straight aim, andl not from having glanced by being dleflectedl on hitting tho branch of a tree. After the judge had charged the jury ably the case was left to them. A verdict of "guilty of manslaughter" was rendered. The defence wvas represented by A. R. McGowan and S. H. Jones. E. L. Erd as solicitor was assistedl by J. P. McNeil. After passage of sentence upon the prisoner, which was confinemen't for the maximum time of thirty years, the court adjourned. Moot court trials will be re sumed after the mid-year exam inans.n NEW BOOKS IN THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Non-Fiction. Wiggins, Life of Joel C. Har ris.

Earnestly, but in vain have I sought thee. X ea, even in desperration ! Long have I looked with im p)atience to your arriving. Methinks that thy tardiness in coming Bids fair that thou wilt stay awhile? No? But why? [last thou found a resting Place. More pleasant than the dark Recesses of my purse ? From whence thou wilt come eventually To do my bidding, Bringing to me my soul's dle sire? Dost thou wish to g-race the Wingfic 14 Dalk, cold vaults, where thou and thy Kiitmen are huddled together Believe not this! Thou hast journeyed far and long, Thy features are uncouth, Thy raiment torn, Abide thou me yet awhile. Such is my will. I, thy master, control thy des tiny! But knowest I, even too well, That soon wilt thou depart Thee from my keeping, Finding a new master, Obeying his every whim. To me will come thy lesser Kinsmen, to grace my purse. They too, will find me, as Thou hast, a grateful host. 1t Be up, look alive! On thy way! Thee I now barter for Food!
