News Notes and Personal
nention

PASADENA, March 22.-At special
/ meeting of the voters of the city, called
$in Williams hall this afternoon, it was
decided to request the school trustees to
call special election for the purpose of
issuing bonds to the amount of $40, 900 to
be used in erecting two school buildings,
purchase of necessary grounds, etc.
From the number in attendance it would
not appear that Pasadena citizens take an
overwhelming amount of interest in the
matter of their schools as there were
not more than twenty-five present at any
time.
Rev. l.. F. Crawford was elected chair
man and Principal l.. d. Graham secre-
tary of the meeting The entire board of
trustees. Messrs. Arnold, Hartwell and
4Boynton, were present and spoke in re-
gard to the necessity OF more room. MIR.
sBoynton addressed the meeting at length
regarding the present condition OF the
schools and their needs. In the Lincoln
school four grades are holding but half
day sessions and an additional room is
needed in both the grammar and high
schools. Washington school has three
vacant rooms but unfortunately it is To-
Gated at the extreme northern boundary
OF North Pasadena and cannot be used.
AS to the distribution of students he
found it to be as follows: -Four hundred
live within half mile of Wilson ana
Lincoln schools, pos live three-quarters
of mile away, 10S live over threequar-
ters to the east and north, "a live over
that distance to the east and south and
81 on the west and northwest.
Mr.. Boynton favored adding one build
ing at time, from four to six rooms be-
ing needcd at the present time. In case
twelfth year was added to the high
school course as proposed, two more
rooms would be needed, as it has at pres
ent six teachers and but four recitation
rooms.
: Professor Graham stated that another
year should be added to the high school
couse in order that it may come up to
the requirements of the state university.
A general discussion followed as to how
many buildings should be put up and as
to the location
DR.. Thomas moved that one building be
erected in the northeast section, which
was followed by motion by G. L. Brown
to locate one in the northeast and one
in the northwest section of the city. The
final motion, which passed, asked that
an election be called to issue sufficient
bonds to erect two eight room buildings,
furnish them and purchase the sites.

mind lis satisfied and it devolves upon
me, under the law,-if do not grant
this new trial,--to sign the sentence
OF death; and If should sign it, not
concurring with the jury, then would
feel that have taken part in Judi
cial murder. 1t has been said that it
Is better for ninety.nine guilty per-
sons to escape punishment than for
one innocent man to perish, and
might add that it is better for the
country that murderer go unwhipped
of justice than that he be found guilty
and sentenced to death where the
proof fails to come up to that full
measure, which the law requires.
Unquestionably the evidence in this
case warrants the conclusion that it Is
highly probable that he is guilty,
but strong suspicious will not do. The
man who takes the life of his fellow
man forfeits his own life, but when
the people In the sovereign capacity
undertake to say your life shall be
taken because you have taken the life
OF your brother, the people must be
careful that his guilt be fully proven.
The State must establish his guilt no
matter what expense Is attending u

trouble on the part of the State can be
considerered because the majesty OF
the law must be vinlicated.
"As long as have the honor to
preside over the courts of South Caro-
lima, whatever the opinion of others
may be, l shall never sign sentence
of death except when my mind not
only concurs with the jury in the
guilt of the prisoner, but where it
concurs that the guilt has been es-
tablished beyond reasonable doubt.
Let the new trial be granted"

will be more damaging than anything
yet brought out against him. The
Solicitor has these facts in hand and
will bring them out in due time. 1t
would not subserve the ends of Justice
to give these facts at present.
The decision of Judge Earle was the
subject OF much comment The latter
clause of it came in for more criticism
than anything else. 1t was generally
conceded among lawyers that Judge
had right to seo ASIDE a verdict, but
to say that it would be set aside simply
because the judge did not agree with
the twelve jurors, was, as an attorney
expressed it, the most remarkable
decision in some respect ever rendered
in an English speaking court"

A NOVEL LEGAL POINT.
Judge Earle Renders an Opinion
that Causes Much Commend.

In granting now trial to II. G.
Aughtry, who had been convicted of
murder, Judge Earle has rendered q
decision that will provoke great deal
of discussion. The full text of his
opinion will prove interesting, and it
is copied herewith from the Columbia
Register:
"Well, Mr.. Solicitor and gentlemen
OF the defense: In the case of Thomas
G. Aughtry have given to this motion
a most earnest consideration. Ipdeed,
| have thought Of little else except
when Pm actually engaged in court,
since the motion was made. | have
read and re-read the testimony.
have fully digested all that has been
said on both sides. In this State the
jury are the judge OF the fact and the
court is the judge of the law, and
when jury has rendered verdict Of
guilty, the only course left open to the
defendant, SO far as the facts are con-
cerned, is to move for new trial II
that motion be refused that is an end
OF the matter. That is his last chance.
The Supreme Court has only jurisdic
tion in matters of law. In some other
States upon q demurrer to the evidence
the Supreme Court of tho State can
! revise tho testimony and determine
whether or not the verdict is sustained
| by the testimony. liz this case twelve
good and true men have passed upon
! the questions OF fact. The court was
! impressed with their Intelligence and
has no doubt that they were entirely
! conscientious.
| This killing occurred Mt recent
/ date and the whole community natur-
ally and properly has been brought up
to the higest pitch. The public mind
was scarcely In condition to give to
) the case that careful and deliberate
! consideration case OF this kind dc
! mands.
(! How far should circuit Judge in
terfere with u jury, when the presid-
ing judge Is satisfied that the jury
was AZ intelligent jury, that the jury
was conscientious and that the Jury
have verified all the testimony and so
far as able have found verdict ac-
cOrding to the evidence OF the case ia
given to them How far shall the
opinion OF the circuit Judge, IL 1t
should be contrary, II 1t be interposed
to interfere with their finding 1t Ia
o question OF the greatest response
bility, because as / have said In this
, State there is no other tribunal that
can be appealed to and 80 upon q
motion for a new trial IL deyolves or
the circuit judge to say whether the
man should suffer death or not. That

him, Ii he does not concur sFith the
jury, to say SO. Now, the vel
established rule In circumstantia
