Better even than last year was the

Judge Gest Overrules Motion of
the Attorney for De-
PENDANT.
PLEADS TO CHARGE MONDAY
Held Under Indictment for Murder of
Carl Brady-WiII Go to Supreme
Court Trial First

Judge Gest this afternoon overruled
the motion of Attorneys H. A. Weld
and Adair Peasants for the discharge
of William Nagel. charged with the
murder of Carl Brady, and the defend
ant will be required to enter his plea
Monday.
The motion for discharge was made
upon the statute requiring that the
court shall dismiss a defendant if he is
held in custody and not tried within
four months after his commitment. A
similar motion was made on previous
indictment and the January grand jury
returned another true bill on the same
charge, murder. The, attorneys for
the defendant then set up the plea of
jurisdiction, maintaining that he could
not be reindicted after his discharge.
No Illinois Decision,
Il have not been able to agree with
the attorneys for the defendant on
these claims said Judge Gest. 81 do
not think that is the law" He discuss
ed to some extent the decisions Of 9th
er states, there having been none on
this point in Illinois. Upon reviewing
the enactment of Illinois, he said, Il
can not bring myself 10 a conclusion
that a discharge under such an act is
a discharge from the offense. 1t seems
to me that if that had been the inten-
ton of the trainers of the law it would
have been so stated, as it is in the Vir-
ginia law, forever discharged that is
plain enough
The attorneys for the defendant
sought to get the states attorney TO |
agree to nOlle pros the Indictment on |
the charge of accessory after the fact
in order that the case might be taken |
to the supreme court for an adjudica- |
ton of this point without a trial, under |
the habeas corpus act. Mr. Scott has |
indicated that he will not do this; that |
the defendant will have TO stand trial. |
and if the attorneys desire to appeal |
from this ruling of the court without |
taking up the record of the trial they |
can do that.

Necessities Of a Happy Life.

There are two fundamental me-
eessities for happy life, namely,
a useful occupation for mind and
body and an outlet for unseIfish
affection. The first requisite for
enduring happiness is in having
work to do in which one believes.
Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something
useful. While this work must BE-
done with fair efficiency, it should
not be accompanied with too much
drudgery or exhaustion. The sim
pier the plan in which oue's living
is modelled, the less will be the
complications and disturbances
caused by an over-eIaborate scale
Of existence, and the more time
will be left for tie real duties and
pleasures OF life. Vital Ques
