The present system, or rather. want of

who do not indulge in athletics, but who

The defense cd not introduce any witnesses, but friends of Howard say he will plead self defense when the case comes to final trial Five hours were spent in examining witnesses, after which the case was forcibly argued by counsel on both sides.
