Judge Nelson Of the Brooklyn cour,
has denied the application Of the plain
tiff to reopen the case. His charge to
the jury is brief, simple and fair. 1: is
a. follows:
At this hour it is your duty to accept
fully and without q shade Of mental r. s.
ervation the rules of law stated. but on
the other hand ! wish TO pay like de-
gree Of respect to your great Office. You
are the sole judges of the weight Of tes-
timony OF and the creditsbility Of wit

from commenting on proofs at large and
from indicating to you what my own
opinions may be on questions Of fact in
volved. Your recognition Of that as our
relation to the court and to the cause is
due to the oath you have taken 10 rem.
der true verdict according to the evil
dence. Ny recognition Of it is due not
only to you but to these parties, rs the
moral force Of a verdict depends largely

plaintiff You are also to understand
that evidence should be such as To carry

this COMPLAINT might be proved by direct
or by circumstantial evidence. but such
a charge is not usually proved. or indeed
probable by direct and positive evidence.

where under social restraints an apparent
proper intimacy degenerstes into licen-
tious acts and the evil intent and
life put on the garb Of innocence. All
surh cases are involved in doubt and
difficulty.
