The tendency of prices in the market for outside
securities continued downward The selling pres
sure was not severe, but there appeared 70 he
little or no demand. The weakness in the stock
market and the further break in the price of copper
metal brought about some selling of the mining
shares, which eventually extended to other parts
of the list. The declines, however. were small.

Public Utilities Bill.

ALBANY, April 1O.-Gov. Hughes is to see
every amendment that Is proposed to be
made to the public utilities bill. Senator
Page and Assemblyman Edwin A. Merritt
are to begin the work of preparing the
amendments at once, and after they are
through the bill is to be submitted to the
governor.
While 1t has not been decided just what
will be done in regard to the matter of the
power of removal, hopes are entertained
that the governor will consent to having
that power restricted.
After the governor has passed upon the
amendments the senate judiciary and the
assembly railroads committees will take
up the bill. 1t Is just possible that these
committees may insert the amendment even
II the governor says he doesn't want II
made. When these committees report the
bill 1t will be for the purpose Of referring IL
to the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees.

NEW YORK, April 1o.-After recess Mr..
Delmas continued his address to the jury.
As reported by Official Stenographer Moy-
nahan, it was as follows:
Gentlemen. nothing now remains for me
to do but to call your attention TO the
events of the night of the 25th of June,
1906. with a view not of dwelling at any
great length upon the tragic features of
that night, but with a view simply of
calculating as far as l may, by those
events. the great point to which your at
tention must be ever centered during this
Case-that is, the condition of the mind Of
the defendant on that fatal night.
You recall that that evening Mr.. Thaw
and his wife and two friends were seated
was summer The evening doubtless was
sultry. Tables had been set upon the
balcony or veranda on the outside to ac-
commodate those who might seek that more
desirable spot.

Lays Emphasis on Reasonable Doubt.

to the day when you were examined as to
your qualifications to sit as Jurors. Never
in my life, never in a long experience at
the bar of over forty years, have 1 heard

dress my word placed upon a jury in a
manner so clear, SO emphatic. as 1t was
placed by the words which fell from his
honors lips when he said to you, I'm case
of this kind, gentlemen, are you prepared
to give the defendant the benefit of all rea-
sonable doubts, for bear in mind"-the
learned judge added-"that in a case of
this kind reasonable doubt is a thing that
defendant may lay hold on for his pro-
lection that Ito use his emphatic Ian
guage ut is his property. and you are
bound to give him what belongs to him.
And you were admitted as jurors to sit in
this jury box only upon your attention be-
ing called, your minds being directed and
your oaths jurors made significant by
the pledge that you gave that before you
sent this young man to his doom your
minds must be free from all doubt to his
guilt. For If there fingers in your minds

Defines a Reasonable Doubt.
What is a reasonable doubt, gentlemen, is
thing that may not be explained very
clearly without much elaboration, for the
term seems to define itself in it's own words.
A reasonable doubt is a doubt, it has been
well stated, which a reasonable man may
entertain You are reasonable men, And
whenever you doubt you are bound to say,
That doubt, in q case of life and death, be-
ing entertained by me as reasonable man,
Is that reasonable doubt which the law
says / must give the benefit of to the de-
