contract was to be performed in that
county. The order is therefore affirmed.
In the case of the people, plaintiff and
respondent, VS.. Louis Bellamy, defendant
and appellant, being an appeal from a
conviction of the crime of burg larry, on
the ground that the lower court erred in
emitting to give the jury the following
instructions
In order to justify the inference OF
legal guilt from circumstantial evidence,
the existence of eycul pating facts must
be absolutely and to demonstration
compatible with the innocence of the
accused and incapable OF explanation
upon any other reasonable hypothesis
than that o. his guilt"
The court holds that the law does rot
require the evidence to be of such char
acter as to establish in the ID inds of the
Jury that degree of certainty demanded
by the foregoing instruction. convlc.
ton in the minds of the jurors to moral
certainty and beyond a reasonable doubt.
arising from the evidence, of the defend
ants guilt, is sufficient, and an absolute
or mathematical dem n stration of guilt
is not required. The judgment and order
appealed from are therefore affirmed.
In the case of the People, respondent,
vs.. W. F. Demasters, appellant, being an
appeal from the judgment I'd order de-
nylng the motion for new trial, the de-
PENDANT having been convicted of an as
ssult with intent to commit mayhem, the
supreme court says.
We can see no abuse of discretion on
the Part of the court below in denying
dsfendant's motion for new trial, made
upon the ground of newly discovered evil
dence. AS has been repeatedly held by
this court. motion for a new trial Is adj
dressed to the sound legal discretion of
the TRIAL court and the action of the
latter will not be disturbed except in an
instance rnanifesting clear and unmis-
taxable abuse OF such discretion. This
rule is peculiarly applicable to an appli-
cation based upon the ground of newly
discovered evidence, which not only in
wolves an enlarged discretion in the
trial court, but has never been looked
upon with favor. but rather with distrust.
10 entitle plaintiff to a new trial on this
ground, it must appear among other
things that the new evidence be not
cumulative merely; that 1t be such as to
render different verdict reasonably
probable upon retrial."
The court, finding no error in the rec
ord, tbs judgment and order denying
new trial are affirmed.

judge Smith yesterday submitted the
demurrer IN the case of Dick Woods,
charged with mayhem. Inasm UGH as
mayhem is the injury to any mem Der of

demurrer is rather funny to the lay

Mr. BIondheim was accosted by the boy
in trout of a ualry lunch room on sixth

with a horse owner named Thompson, and
after working among the latter's horses
for couple of weeks as discharged.
He asked for his pay, but that was re-

said that Thompson even refused to SEND
him back to Philadelphia. For nearly a
