A Stay for Warner.

We briefly noted last week, the fact
that the application of Wesley Warner
for write of error was argued before the
Chancellor last week. The reasons pre-
scented were that the Judge erred in re-
fusing to charge the ten requests to charge
presented by defendants counsel that
the jury did wrong in visiting the place OF
the homicide in the absence of the de-
PENDANT, the exception of the prisoner
thereto being constitutional right that
cannot be waived that when the defend
ant was called up for sentence he was not
asked if be had anything to say why judg-
ment should not be pronounced against
him. This last point is said to be very
important and in recent case was held
to be an error. Yesterday afternoon
Chancellor McGill, at Jersey City, granted
writ of error in Warmers case. Thii
gives a stay to the execution of Warner
and allows the case to 90 before the Su
preme court for review.

it takes to tell it. He held on to the

they have much trouble with their own
birthdays, unless it be as they advance
in life these come one after the other
with alarming frequency. But the trouble
arises in this form. II man was born in
1910, and celebrated his birthday Feb
ruary 2, would that be his fifty-third or
fifty-fourth birthday? The word birth
day." as ordinarily used, means ''anniver-
sary Of ones birth" Literally, a man or
woman. boy or girl, has only one birth
day, the day on which he or she was
born. But the anniversary of that impor-

birthday is celebrated, his second when
he reaches two years Of age, his fftieth
when he is fifty, his SEVENTEEN when he
is seventy.
