NEW TRIAL FOR BARRY.

North Dakota Farmer, Now In State
Prison, Will Get Another Chance to
Fight.
The supreme court court reverses
the district court of Cavalier county;
Judge Kneeshaw, and grants a new
trial to William Barry, now serving a
life sentence in the state penitentiary
for murder.
The Barry case attracted wide atten-
tio1n throughout the state some time
ago, Barry being a prominent and rich
farmer Of Cavalier county, who killed
Andrew Mellem, his hired man. in a
barn on his place.
Barry claimed that Mellem had in
vaded his home and betrayed his Sis
ter and after giving him a specified
time to pray, he killed him with q
knife. The trial was hard-fought on
both sides, the state being represented
by States Attorney Dickson and John
M. Cochrane, supreme judge-elect of
the state, and the defense being repre-
scented by Tracy r. Bangs of Grand
Forks, who made the appeal to the SUI
preme court.
The syllabus covers three type-writ-
ten pages, reversal being based on the
charge of the court to the jury. This
the supreme court reviews. and, after
quoting the language objected to by
the defense, holds that it gives clear
expression to the views of the presid-
ing Judge, and hence is held to be a
judicial error.
The portion of the judges charge
| which subsequently informed the Jury
that they were sole judges of Che
weight and credibility of tn etestimony
does not operate to cure the error in
volved
The supreme court holds that the
common law rule prevailing in some
states and in the federal courts, per-
hitting trial courts to give expression
to their views upon the credibility Of
testimony or it's weight or effect has
been abrogated in this state; that the
plea of not guilty puts into issue every
essential element of offense charged,
and that courts are inhibited from in
struoting juries that any essential fact
is established, even when no evidence
IL offered to disprove the fact I've
opinion in the case was written by
Chief Justice Wallin.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL,

A most pleasing evening OF song
and poesy was that spent at the Bee
hive House last night on the occasion
of the reading OF the first four cantos
of Bishop Wltney's new poem, Elias,
An Epic OF the Ages" There were about
800 OF the personal friends OF the
Bishops present. A warm welcome
was extended themy by President Jo-
seph Il. Smith before the reading COM
menced. After the reading he said he
desired TO emphasize his words Of
greeting for tonight and tomorrow
night as he could then speak from the
standpoint OF knowledge as TO the ex-
celence OF the poem. IL was most
worthy effort, and he hoped that all
those present would be In attendance
this evening. Hon. Il. II. ROBERTS acted
as master Of ceremonies, and the musi-
cal exercises were under the direction
OF Prof Mcclellan. whose work on the
piano, and that OF Prof Shelton on
the violin, was much appreciated as
was the singing Of George d. Pyper
and Prof Kent. The Bishop was in
fine voice, and read with a distinctness
and eloQnence that surprised even his
most ardent admirers. The audience
consisted almost wholly Of educational
and professional people who were pro-
fuse In their praise Of the poem, There
are eight more cantos to read. The
task will be completed tomorrow night.

ADJUSTMENTS.

That always admirable play, Arr
zona, apparently picked up the thread
OF big business last night Just where
II laid It down a year ago, A hand
some audience was in attendance and
very handsome ovation II gave most
of the favorites in the cast, Mr. Cam
peau, the Tony rather leading in the
favor OF the audience, but Mr. Farnum,
as Denton, Mr.. Cope as Candy and MT.
peane as the doctor, coming In for a
penerous share OF appreciation. All
were excellent as ever indeed, II Is
hard to Imagine how Mr. Campeau's
clean cut delineation OF the Mexican,
Mr.. Farnum's manly portrayal Of the
lover or Mr.. Cope's true to life Inter-
pretation OF the ranchman could be
hettered. Among the ladies' only one OF
the originals remained, MISS Bradley,
vino is sweet and modest as ever as
lena. The Bonita OF Miss Muir Is not
all that il might be- though she plays
with eainestness and care. Miss Milton
a. the wife Of the ranoher, and Miss
Lemmert as Estrella, were both excel
lent. while Mr. Burke as the colonel,
MIR. Matthews as the villainous cap
tain, and Mr. Graham as Sergeant KEEL
lar. al showed That they are actors Of
force and taste The Chlnaman Of Mr.
Ferris brought out the usual laughs.
He. too. Is one OF the originals.

and the stage appointments, were all
OF the highest class. The bill runs the

At the Grand LAST night the business
was somewhat hurt By the strength Of
the counter attraction, but there was,
nevertheless. a fair turnout to greet the
players presenting "The Gamblers

features Is the introduction Of a gam

back IN fact, the play Is o succession
OF chills and thrills, and these effects
seemed to be very gratefully received

frequent, The players belong along
the average line Of travelling COM

by Miss Hayward, as the daughter OF
