 1. Indictment for murder; when ev- idence not admissible for the purpose of showing bias On a trial under an indictment for murder. where wit ness for the State testified to facts tending to show the guilt of the de- fendant and 1t was shown that the de- ceased kept a store, 1t is not compe- tent for the defendant to ask such wit ness whether or not he did not buy rations and other articles of necessity from the store of the deceased; such evidence showing no bias or interest on the part of the witness against the defendant.
 3. Homicide; when charges in ref erence to murder without injury On a trial under an indictment for mur- der, where the defendant was convict ed of manslaughter in the first de- gree. the refusal of charges which in- struct the jury with reference to mur- der in the first and second degree, if erroneous. are error without injury.
 8. Homicide; charge of court to jury .-On a trial under an indictment for murder a charge Is erroneous and properly refused, which instructs the jury that If they find from the evil dence that the deceased at the time the blow was struck was making an as- sault on the defendant. and that the defendant in resisting the said assault, used force not greatly disproportionate to the character of the assault and death resulted by misadventure. then the jury should acauit him." (Martin v. State, 90 Ala, 602. overruled.)
 4. Same; same.-On a trial under an indictment for murder. where there Is evidence from which the defendant could be convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, a charge is erroneous and properly, refused which instructs them that if they believe. the evidence they must not convict the defendant of murder in the first or second degree or of manslaughter in the first degree"
 s. Same; same a trial under an indictment for murder, where the defendant was convicted of man. slaughter in the first degree, the re- fusal of charges which instruct the jury in reference to malice on the de- fendant's part, if erroneous, are with out injury, since malice Is not an ele- ment of manslaughter.
 6. Same; same.-On a trial under an indictment for murder. a charge is erroneous and properly refused which instructs the jury that if they believe pie assault was made on the deceased by the defendant, and the blow inad- vertently or accidentally resulted in death and In this event you can only convict the defendant of manslaughter in the second degree. the defendant being free from fault in bringing or the difficulty."

 Pearson's Weekly.
 The press in Russia is not as the British Press. In the land of the Czar newspaper editors have to be very careful as to what articles they print, else they run the risk of finding their paper suppressed and themselves en route for Siberia. It Is advisable, they find. to support the policy of the Gov ernment.
 This The Novoe Vremya consistently does. It Is The Times of Russia. in so much as it Is the most influential newspaper in existence there. but 1t. Is to a great extent officially inspired.
 The means 1t employs to gain its own ends are often interruptions in the ex- treme. Should a rival paper become too formidable. the controllers of The Novoe Vremya use their powerful in huence in high political circles to have 1t suppressed. Consequently contem- poraries both fear and hate the paper which can, when necessary, do them so much harm.
 The Novoe Vremya Us read by all who have Government situations. It Is their organ. and they believe everything | 1t prints. Its policy is the very key note of the Russian Government policy; Jews are trampled down by 1t; Poles and Films they are hostile to. It also suffers from Anglophobia. It is edited by M. Souvorine. who changes his politics whenever the pol icy of the Government Is altered. He is progressive and reactionary by turns,

 1. Indictment for selling liquor; ad- instability of evidence of other sales On trial under an indictment for sell ing spirttuous. vinous or malt liquors contrary to law. where there was evi- dence introduced on the part Of the State tending to show that the de- fendant had sold whiskey to one or the statee witnesses at designated time and place, testimony that on other occasions the defendant had sold whis- key to other witnesses and that hel had received consignments of whiskey at different times, Is admissible as tend . ing to throw light on the transaction and to show the defendants identity as the person who, in reality made the sales to the States witnesses.
 2. Trial and its incidents; remark of court to witness.-On the trial of criminal case, where the defendant, upon being examined as a witness. re- peatedly stated that he did not know as to transaction asked about by the solicitor for the State, 1t is error for the court, upon ordering the defendant as witness to answer the question, to state that Your memory seems to be remarkably clear about other things and very cloudy about this"
 8. Charge of court to jury: when properly refused.-It is error for tho court to give a charge to the jury where one or more of It's postufates is ab- stract. and the charge itself Is upon the weight of the evidence or an argument by the court against the defendant on the evidence.
