Error In Charge Of Judge
kohler. e ~
State Had No Authority to
Introduce
Evidence Tending to Show PeaceabIe
Disposition Of HUH


Gideon Carr was granted a new trial
by the Circuit Court Saturday morning.
He is now prisoner at the Ohio Pen
itentiary, having been convicted of
murder in the second degree at the last
term of Common Pleas court.
Error in the charge of Judge Kohler
to the jury was the ground for rever.
sal by the Circuit Court. The opinion
was handed down by Judge U. l.. Mar.
win. II. was concurred in by all the
other members of the Court. Judge
Marvin's opinion follows:
Gideon Carr was indicted for mur.
der in the first degree for killing Syl
vester Hull He was found guilty OF
murder in the second degree and sen
fenced accordingly.
",rhe evidence shows that there was
fight, with Gideon and Edwin Carr
on one side, and Hull, the deceased
and Bramley, on the other.
Gideon Carr set up in defense that
what he did, he did in defending him
self or his son from death or serious
bodily injury,
Cars attorneys claim that the
court erred in not recognizing Samuel
G., Rogers as one of the defendants
attorneys at the trial.
"There was not such ar abuse of dis
cretion in excluding Mr.. Rogers from
participating in the defense as will
justify reversal of the Judgment or
that ground.
"Compiaint is made that evidence
of the reputation and character Of
Hull for being quiet and peaceabl,
man was admitted on the part of tn,
state against the objection of the de
fendant
"The admission of this evidence was
clearly error prejudicial to the de
fendant for which the case must b,

TO take profits came on the market like a

The point wherein today's market differ

unsettled condition continued until trad

were no remaining points of strength to

New York Dec 28.-There has been a
poor attendance of buyers in the dry goods
market today and only slow trade has
been done in all departments Prices OF
brown cottons continue irregular, but not
quotably lower than before. Bleached
and coarse colored goods dull but steady.
Print cloths continue inactive. Business

lies.
COTTON.
New York, Dec. 2S.-Quite general buy
ing of the near positions and absence OF
support in the late cotton months with
selling pressure from abroad, caused a
widening of the parity between these re-
spective options in today's market. Taken
as whole, speculation was feeble. So
far as investment business was concern
ed, very little was done. Room traders
were handicapped by conflicting reports in
circulation concerning the long and short
Snterests in the January option. now the
center of attraction. On the opening the
market was quiet with prices one to four
points lower under light room aid some
foreign selling, all based upon the easier
turn of the Liverpool market and under
more liberal showing of receipts. Soon
after the call near month shorts took
fright on rumors that January was to be
forced considerably higher, The claim
that 10000 bales, December notices had
been issued and eagerly gathered in by
export and spot cotton houses, helped to
give the market steadier unIertone.
Prices readily responded to the change in
the feeling and as Liverpool quickly rail-
lied to conform with our firmness a sub
stantial net rise was soon recorded.
January climbed to 962 and December was
also much firmer. Europe sold the far
months as a hedge against large hold
ings in the winter positions, with the re-
suit that the options tapered off slowly.
Early afternoon developments were dis
couraging, large estimates for tomorrow s
receipts leading to selling. December
and January shorts were restless, how
ever, and covered on all the easier
periods. The close was quiet with prices
four points lower to eight points higher
