EXCEPTIONS IN SMELL
MURDER CASE 0VERRULED.

Boston. Sept. s.-The exceptions taken
in the case Of Angles Smell OF New Bed
ford. who was convicted OF murder in
the first degree. were overruled by the
full bench OF the Massachusetts supreme
court today.
Smell was tried In the superior court
charged with killing TiIlinghast Kirby at
Horseneck Beach. near New Bedford. in
September. 1903. Both men were fisher
men and IL was alleged hat Smell muir
dered Kirby 10 obtain money which the
latter had IN his possession. The penalty
OF first degree murder in Massachusetts
~ death by e~lectrocution.
The full bench holds that the form OF
the Indictment answered tho constitution
al requirements as 20 sufficiently inform
ing the accused OF the offense charged
against him. II also hold that the testi-
mony OF Uriah @. Pierce. a witness for
the commonwealth. that Smell. about May
/. 1909. had proposed to him to kill Bur
ton Head, with whom Kirby boarded, and
to throw his body into the ocean, so that
IL would sink, was properly admitted.
II was claimed by the defence that this
witness had No connection with the
charge I'm the indictment and had rela-
ton 10 a plan for another crime and was
incompetent.
The court, however, holds the evidence
was competent. as showing on the part OF
Smell a common plan or motive in connec-
ton with the other evidence In the case
TO get control OF Heads house and carry
out his purpose OF selling liquor and TO
kill Head and Kirby, who stood in his
way.
