LAST EDITION
NEW TRIAL FOR WILLIAMS.


.rrhe a nn,tcatton Granted This Morning.
Tne FIRST Granted in Delaware.
George II. Williams, colored, convicted
of the murder of Walter e. Wright was
granted a new trial this morning, and
the verdict of guilty set aside. The
opinion of the court on the application of
his counsel, Henry G. Conrad, Esq. and
w. s. Hilles, ESQ, wAs read by Asso-
ciate Judge Paynter, just before the
mandamus opinion was read.
The application was granted on the
ground of the relationship of the juror
William G. Lyman. to the murdered boy,
Walter E. Wright.
The opinion touched on the argument
of the Attorney general that the court
had no power to grant new trial, On
this point the opinion stated that al
though no motion for new trial III :
capital case had ever been granted, such
motions had been made and aithough re-
fused. had been refused on their merlDs
and not because the court mad no power
to grant them.
After 4la oprnion had been read Asso-
Gsfs Jud0e Houston expressed himself
fArciblv On the right of the court ia
rant new trial He said he protested
gyainst the argument that the
common law prohibited It, without
reverting to the constitution. The
nrineiples of common law were
not paramount to the constitutional law
Judge Houston referred to the Magns
Charter and read sections 9, Z, and o.
the state constitution. The constitution
he said, was the Magma Charter
of Delaware and it was para
mount to the common law
He hoped after what had been said thu
matter would be considered settled
Motions for new trials would be enter
tanned If the grounds were sufficient.

AS has been shown, these contrasting and
violent conditions existed horizontally at ;
p. m, March 9th. over the States of Ten

Missouri. and doubtless did so vertically
at Louisville and other points. where tor
nadOes developed a few minutes later.
There has been growing tendency, pos
sibly fostered by those who have an inter
est in tornado insurance towards the belief
that these destructive storms are incrcas-
ing in frequency and danger The writer
believes those impressions TO be fallaciOus.
The number apparently increases-flrst,
because the telegraph and newspaper rival

eXaggeration which magnities and trans
forms an unusual wind, thunder or hail
storm into a destructive tornado. lnvesu-

that many reported tornadoes of violence
never existed. save in the imagination OF
the reporter.

Onstrate the fact that il is possible

against tornadoes of moderate, and posi-
bly OF excessive violence. This apears to
confirm the theory held by the present
writer, that no tornado could pass through
the densely and strongly built part Of great
cities Occasionally "A building of great
strength may be destroyed, but as rule,
the writer believes, a number Of closely
built brick or stone blocks. where each
structure is so substantially built as TO
withstand ordinary wind without support

As bearing upon the strength of struc-

have been very few cases recorded of wind

latest investigations and accepted formula,
