Judge Cole Places the Amount nc One
Thousand Doiinrs

Judge Cole today granted the motion Of
Dr. Edward Icons counsel 60 admit their
client to ball. fixing the amount at Hoo
The defendant stands indicted for murder
IL being charged that on the 31st of Octo-
Der last he cat sed the death of the un-
named child of Miss Estene e. Beach oy
an abortion performed by him on the un-
fortunate girl two days prior to that tine.
He was twice tried. being convicted In
January last Of murder and in last June
of manslaughter. Both trials were had be-
fore Judge Cole. the Judge setting aside
the first verdict because he had failed TO
fully instruct the jury as to the difference
between murder and manslaughter and set
ting the second verdict aside because ne
had subsequently come to the conclusion
complice In the eye of the law, had not
been corroborated
Counsel for the prisoner contended today
that their client having been convicted Of
manslaughter on the second trial could not
again be tried for the graver crime of muir
der. and that therefore the prisoner was
entitled TO his release from jail on bail
District Attorney Birrey opposed the mo-
ton. asserting that q verdict Of man.
slaughter. where the accused was charged
with murder. did not upon the setting aside
Of that verdict and the granting of a new
trial. preclude the trial OF the defendant
again for murder. The setting aside OF the
verdict and the granting Of a new trial
claimed Mr.. Birney, left the case tust
where II stood previous TO the trial And
the district attorney quoted authorities IN
support OF his contention, citing a few
cases In England and in this country where
the accused had been convicted Of murder
after a verdict OF manslaughter
The Courts Opinion.
In disposing OF the motion, Judge Cole
stated that he did not deem IL necessary
to decide the question Of whether a per-
son indicted for murder could again be
tried for murder after a verdict of man
slaughter. In the present case that was
q collateral matter az this time But from
his knowledge of the case he had come
TO the conclusion that a verdict Of muir
der should not be allowed to stand.
He was surprised that such a verdict
had been returned In the first trial ana
felt that II had only been returned because
he had not sufficiently instructed the Jury
as to the difference between murder and
manslaughter. He did not believe that any
other yudee would allow such a verdict 70
stand in the case. Therefore. as In his
opinion no verdict graver than that OF
ranslaughter was permissible. the defend
ant should be released on giving SUFFICIENT
bail.
After Some discussion as to the amount
Of the bail Judge Cole finally fixed Il at
$1,000. and the defendants counsel left IN
search Of a bondsman.
District Attorney Birney stated that the
defendant would be brought to trial for a
third time, but explained that he could
not now state when. But not later than
the first OF the coming year.

necessity for a walk of boards or other
suitable material across the railroad tracks
at Sth and c streets southwest. He de-
scribes this crossing as particularly dan
gerous. and says that people frequently
trip upon the high rails and are i'm immi-

safety, he thinks. would be considerably
lessened IL a decent walk were TO be con-
