SOCIOLOGICAL.
Working Bows, Club.

Instead Of the usual debate on Tues
day evening, the Working Boys Liter
airy and Debating Club held mock
trial before a large and enthusiastic
audience.
After the roll call and reading OF the
minutes, the president of the club, Mrs.
J. d. Tyson, handed over the gavel to
Judge Morris and court was convened.
One Of the boys, Waldfold Miller, had
been arrested by Sheriff George Crook,
on complaint sworn out by Randall Car
due. The charge was disorderly conduct
I'm that the accused had disturbed the
peace and quiet Of the community. Dis
trict Attorney Stephen Latehford con-
Quoted the prosecution, while Dallas Bo-
lick appeared as counsel for the defense.
Attorney Bolick contested every step
taken by the prosecutiLl. and often
cIashed with the prosecuting attorney.
The defense made several mo-
tons to have the prisoner dis
charged. after having first tried to
secure his release on bond Judge
Morris. after referring TO various
authorities for the correctness of his
decisions, decided in favor of the pros
ccution, and the case proceeded. When
the jury was called. much laughter was
created by the challenges made by both
attorneys When Brigham Young
was called he was objected TO on the
ground that as he was likely to have
as many opinions on the case as he
had wives. he was not competent 90
serve as juror. The court sustained
the objection.
The evidence was very amusing. Each
attorney did his best 10 confuse the wit
nesses on the opposite side. and they
were often successful. much TO the de-
light Of the audience.
After the evidence was in District At
torney Latchford addressed the jury
and reviewed the case Of the prosecu-
ton. pointed out the weakness Of the
defense. and closed in an earnest appeal
for conviction. Attorney Bolick then
followed for the defense, and strongly
upheld tho claims OF his client. who. M
asserted. had been the victim Of spite-
work Stoutly maintaining the limo
cence Of the accused. Attorney Boicl
closed In appealing to the jury TO acqui1
the prisoner.
After being charged the jury retired
TO consider a verdict. and on returning
Foreman Wallace Gardner announced
they verdict Of guilty as indicted. Th'
court then imposed a severe sentence
but the attorney for the defense made
