The trial of Mr.. Grant Billie for
"unlawfully wounding and beating
Rad. Parkinson" a pupil under his
charge, was held before Justice Cum

urday and drew crowded house. |
Mr.. Foust assisted with the
prosecution and A. III. Campbell and
defendant. A large number of wit
nesses were examined and the facts
in the case, as gathered from their ev-
idence, seemed to be about as follows:
MIR. Billbe was conducting Jan algebra
recitation and Rad. had put problem
on the board. Some of the class ques-
toned the correctness of the solution
and considerable time was spent dis
that no more time could now be taken
up with it, but that Rad could bring
it up in the form of a question the next
day. Rad. then asked another ques-
tion about it, to which Mr.. Billbe paid

Did you hear my question: Mr.. Il.
replied, Il did, but L dOu't think it
necessary to answer it, Rad. said,
But that is what you are here for.
lou are paid to answer my questions
At this Mr.. b. ordered him to go to
the chemistry room. Rad refused,
whereupon Mr.. b. took hold of him to
make him go. Rad caught hold of
his seat and there was quite strug-
gle. The testimony a. to the details
Of this struggle was rather conflicting,
some of the witnesses stating that Mr..
Billbe threw his forearm around RAIDS
neck in such way as TO choke him,
while others stated that he dragged
him from his seat by the collar of his
clothing. RAIDS own testimony was
that he was chOked until he was semi
The outcome was that
he was taken into the chemistry /
room, where he had been first ordered
70 go. The testimony made 1t clear
that if the pupil had obeyed the teach
er's orders in the first place there
would have been no violence used.
The question for the jury to decide
vas whether the teacher used undue .
violence in enforcing his commands.
The case went to the jury at twelve
,'clock Saturday night, and in ten
verdict was returned declar-
ng MIR. Billbe hot guilty. The YER I
liCt was received with applause by
he large audience that had crowded
he court house during the entire day.
