SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
The Case of the State VS.. Charles L.
Real Brought Up Yesterday.


The case of State VS.. Charles l.. Zeal, was
argued before the justices of the Law Court
yesterday.
The respondent was convicted by the jury
in kennebec county, in April, 1888, Of the
murder OF his father, Christopher Beal, by
putting strychnine in his whiskey. The re-
spondent filed a motion for a new trial on
the ground of newly discovered evidence,
which motion was oyerruled by Judge
Whitehouse, who tried the case, aud the re-
spondent appealed to this court.
Warren G. Philbrook, Esq, appeared for
the respondent, and puts his motion upon
two grounds. First that James +. McManus
a druggist, testified at the trial that Beal, the
defendant was in his store shortly before
the murder, and inquired for stryehnine, and
how large dose it would take to kin man !;
that he recognized MIN. and was sure it was
Charles l.. Beal; that since the trial Nc
Manus told him, Philbrook, that he was not
sure it was young Beal, for, since the trial
and while Beal was in jail he saw upon the
street the same person that was in his store
on that evening inqniring for strychnine.
Mr.. Phlbr0ok testified to this conversation
before Judge Whitehouse, but McManus de-
MED that any such conversation ever took
place.
Second, if proved that the prisoner was
there at the drug store, then the slow con-
versation" heard by another witness when
given as now known, tends to reduce the
crime, and jury would render different
verdict. This low conversation the defence
| calculated to prove was statement by young
| Beal that the poison was intended to make
| the "old man" sick and teach him lesson.
Mr.. l.. L. Carleton, county attorney for
Kennebec county, replied to the first point
that l.. ID. Carver saw young Beal in the
| store and heard him call for strychnine; he
| described the cap and muller worn by him,
| which were produced by the government.
| The Identification was complete without Nc
| Manus's testimony; but when that witness
was placed under oath, he denied ever max
| ing the statement to Lawyer Philbrook that
| he had made up his mind that he did not
| recognize Beal, but he stuck to his original
| testimony.
| In regard to the low conversation, the en-
| tire conversation was given in McManus' S
| previous testimony, and there was nothing
new to be offered.
