Judge Percival Bonney ut once be-
gan his charge to the jury. He began
by general explanation of the duties
and powers of the jury. He explained
that the jury were the sole Judges OF
every fact in the case, of every item
of evidence and OF the credibility OF
every witness. He instructed the jury
that they were not obliged to accept
every word Of testimony as fact mere
~ because 1t was given under oath. IL
is important to consider the appear
ance of the witness and to see how FAR
the testimony of one witness Is corro-
borated by that of others.
The judge maintained that 1t was
due the jury that they know something
of the past OF Edward GRAHAM since
he has been placed on the stand az q
witness. Judge Bonney discussed the
question of reasonable doubt to n
considerable length. He stated that the
burden Of proof in the guilt of the re-
spondent is never lifted from the
state, and that the state must prove
beyond n reasonable doubt that on
Jan. II. GRAHAM was in the Mosher
house at Gorham.
The judge then explained the legal
meaning of the crime of murder in the
first degree. and after n few final in
structionS. the jury retired to their
room To consider the evidence The

Knowledge IL grand. understanding
Is noble. but self-control approaches

has passed out Of the college halls.
We. the undergraduates. perhaps
hardly appreciate all the pleasures and
advantages that we are enjoying. The
present is too full for us to look seri-
ously far into the future. But as the
year In about to close there is brought
forcibly to our minds and especially to
the class OF 1902. the thought that our
own college days are fast slipping By.
Soon the college life for us will be n
chapter Of the past and we shall be
looking backward. :
At this time. we az juniors wish TO
show our appreciation and loyalty TO
behind us something that will be a
benefit and pleasure TO those who
come after, and on which we can look
back with pride.
With this thought we have renovated
and beautifled our chapel and heartily.
gladly present II 10 the college on this
our Ivy day. We trust II will be n
source Of joy and pleasure and we
give II. not simply that 1t may be
passed down through the history Of
The college as something which the
class Of 1902 did: the thought for which
we wish To stand is higher and better.
