TRIAL. In the Supreme Court. last
Monday. Chief Justice Bermudez
rendered the following decision in
the case of James Clark, who killed
Capt. Frank Kellar:
No. 9269.-State Of Louisiana vs..
James Clark. Appeal from the
Criminal District Court, parish OF
Orleans.
Continuances are peculiarly with
in the legal discretion Of the trial
Judge in criminal cases. Refusa
will not be interfered with, unless
in cases OF fragrant error, or gross
abuse OF power. The onus rests
upon the accused to show the same
afiirmatively. An affidavit for a
continuance. on the ground Of the
absence of material witness, nec-
essary to prove an assault by the
deceased on a described person,
and to establish se!f-defense, is ill.,
sufficient where the accused does
not. at least by his own sworn de-
claration, identify himself with such
person. Judgment affirmed.
In this case Clark. the defend
ant was prosecuted for murder
aud convicted for msnslaughter.
and sentenced to twenty years hard
labor.
