A New Trial Granted for VIM. Arrison

Yesterday morning Judge BARLEY, in the
District Court, gave lengthy decision upon
the motion for a new trial in the case of Viii
liam Arrison, who was convicted and senten-
ced to be hanged for the murder of Isaac ALI
ison at the December term of the Criminal
Court. The argument in the case was heard
on Monday last. and the decision reversed
Judge Barley said they had carefully and
fully examined the grounds of error submit
ted by the defence, and had given that atten-
ton to the case which its importance, both to
the community and the prisoner, entitled it..
The Court then summed up the assignments
of error submitted by the attorneys for the
prisoner and overruled all with the exception
of that portion of Judge Finn IS charge, which
reads as followsi
A few words gentlemen, as to what you
must say in your verdict, and we are done.
If YOU find the defendant not guilty, you
will merely say SO. But if you find him gull
ty. the statute requires you to specify in your
verdict of what crime he is guilty. Swan s,
Statute, 238-39 Therefore if you come to
the conclusion that he is guilty, as alleged in
the Indictment you viii say :. We, the Ju-
ry. find the defendant, William Ell. Arrison,
guilty of murder in the first degree, as char
ged in the indictments" or words to this
effect
The Court said that the instruction to the
Jury, to find the defendant guilty of murder
in the first degree, left them no discretion in
the matter 1t was positive charge, direc-
ting the Jury to find verdict, in a form and
manner that the law did not authorize. The
charge does not say the Jury could convict
the prisoner of manslaughter, and. therefore,
left the Jury no other course to pursue, but
to act under the charge. The Court was
unanimous in the opinion that such glaring
error in the instructions should not have been
allowed to go to the Jury. The Judgment of
the Criminal Court was, therefore reversed,
and the case referred back for new trial to the
Common Pleas Court.-Cincinnati Enqui-
