THE RAPID TRANSIT
CUP, HAS ARRIVED

President Paul r. Isenberg OF the
Honolulu Baseball League received by
the steamer Sonoma from san Fran
cisco the challenge cup presented by
the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company, Ltd, to the League for COM
petition between the League ball
teams. He has handed the cup over
To Manager c. G. BaIlentyne of the
Rapid Transit Co., who will place it
on exhibition within a-few days. Presi-
dent Isenberg. who acted as the COM
pany's agent in procuring the cup. is
highly pleased with the trophy. 1t is
suitably inscribed with the donating
corporations name and is altogether a
handsome piece OF plate.
AT yesterdays meeting of the League
there was but small attendance and
the only business done was to draw

terry
Deputy Attorney General Prosser
suggested that still another class of
verdict might be that of mot guilty.
Judge Gear observed that it had
never been ccntended in this case that
the defendant was not guilty IN one Of
the five classes he had named.
GUILTY AS CHARGED.
The jury retired at Ais. They re-
tured at 5:25, or one hour and ten min
utes later, with the verdict of guilty
already recorded.
At the request of Mr.. Thompson the
jury were polled, when each OF them
answered in clear and positive tones
that it was his verdict which had been
rendered.
Mr.. Thompson. on behalf of the de-
PENDANT, noted exceptions to the verdict
as contrary to the law and the evil
dence, and gave notice of motion for
a new trial. This saves the right Of
appeal to Miranda if he or his friends
desire to take it, as the formality must
be observed before the discharge of the
jury.
Judge Gear, after setting the time of
sentence with the remarks already re-
ported, stated that he might be called
to sit in the Supreme Court today.
While adjourning court until $50 this
morning, he excused his regular panel
of jurors until 10 o'clock on Tuesday
next.

GOES TO JURY.

I'VE close. your Honor was all Mr..
Thompson said when the court resumed
sitting at 2 p. m.
Mr.. Davis proceeded at once to de-
liver the closing address to the jury on
behalf of the defense. As in his open
ing remarks he conceded that there was
no question of Miranda's guilt so far
as causing Mr.. Damon's death was
concerned. but he went on to contend
that the Attorney General had not
proved and could not prove the ingredi-
ents of murder in the first degree.
Quoting from eminent writer's of law,
Mr.. Davis made an eloquent plea for
a verdict of manslaughter. The condi-
tions attending the defendants whole
life We're described, the speaker argu-
ing that Miranda's low mental con-
dition should be considered. He vas

advocate. said.
Attorney General Andrews, beginning
his closing address for the Territory,
conplimented the defendants counsel
on the ability they had shown in con-
Quoting the defense. 1t was proof of
the astuteness of Mr.. Davis that he
had avoided any review of the evidence
in his address. The evidence could
leave no room for doubt that the de-
PENDANT was guilty of a foul, premedi-
tated, cold blooded murder. His for
feited life would be but poor PREPARATION

children of their protector and for the

further be allowed to cumber the earth
with his existence. The Attorney
General RAPIDLY reviewed the evidence,
contending from it that malice afore-
thought and deliberate generalization
had been proved, even from his own
mouth, against the defendant. Mr..
Andrews concluded a powerful address
at $3.50.
Judge Gear delivered an elaborate
charge to the jury. quoting freely from
judicial authorities. He stated all of

ing some OF the county officials,
which for veracity, the Indepen-
dent cannot recommend. For
instance, A. p. Scofeld was ac-
cused of allowing his prisoners
to walk out thru the back door.
The fact is two prisoners have
escaped, and they did so by work
ing their way out thru a rickety
old jail. No direct charges were

The case of the Marshall Wells
Hardware Co., acorporation, VS..
the New Era Coal Co., defendant
and the Second National bank
OF Minot appellant, was decided
in favor OF the Marshall Wells
Hardware Co.
The point involved was that
the Second National bank Of
Minot held certain liens against
the property OF the New Era Coal
Co., and the district court Of
Cass county at the instance OF
Marshall Wells Hardware Co.
The plaintiff enioined the Second
National bank from foreclosing
it's liens under the insolvent in
corporation law OF this state. The
Second National bank contended
that by virtue OF it's liens it was
entitled to a preference and this
contention was sustained by the
supreme court. LeSueur & Brad

ests for the Marshall Wells Hard
ware Co.. feel we'll over the result
as it is quite victory.
