MADAME MOUNTFORD's LEO.
TURE.

Taking for her subject "The Nativity
Of Jesus" which is the first OF three
lectures she Ia to give 90 the "Life ,of
The Christ" Madame Mouutford be-
Gan her second series Of lectures at the
Methodist Episcopal Church S,uth last
night. She began by vivid description Of
the early history of the life OF Msry, the
mother of Jesus, in which she took up
the lineage OF Mary snd her ancestors,
showing that the blood Of many nations
flowed 10 her veins, linking her with the
royaI house of Egypt and Persia, as
we'll 90 the house of David, King of the
Jews. In brief, reason WIS given for
the wise men coming from "The East
to seek aud 6nd the Christ who accord
ing to their prophecies WAS to be born
10 Bethlehem. Likewise sill Jerusalem
wss stirred by the coming event OF MS
birth. Many side lights were thrown
upon the Bible account that mace the
story of the Christ, as in legend and ira
ditiou. New facts we're brought out.
As Madame Mountfofd stood In her
white robe, and described the announce
meut of the angels, and later, the hud-
Ing of the new born Saviour by the shep-
herds and wise men from the east, lying
in the msnger wrapped in swaddling
clothes of the Shepherd Claud and OF
the roysl house Of David, the audience
followed her with Intense interest. The
climax was reached In the beautiful
scene of lighting the seven brancbed
csudlestick, which is symbOlicSl Of
Jesus, the light Of the world, and show
ing how the Christ child would be shown
to the pilgrims, shepherds and wise
men.
Tonight and Tuesday night will be Oh
the life OF the Christ, and Friday night
the illustrated lecture on "The MesSen'
Oe, and the Message"

Judge De Bolt denied the motion for
a continuance, stating that he presum-
ed it would be best to have the trial
begin as soon as possible. Kinney sug-
gested that a beginning be made on

that it was too soon and would not
give him the necessary time to make
adequate preparations for the conduct
of the trial
Judge De Bolt replied that the Mon
day session would be consumed in the
preliminary work of securing a jury.
Mr.. Kinney observed that there was
no disposition on the part of the prose-
cutlon to hurry the defense and that
when the jury had been secured and
the first witness sworn the prosecution
would not raise any objection to any
delay which could be legally granted

Kinney then contended that the
affidavit presented by Lightfoot lack
ed practically all of the essential
features that would entit,e it to Sc
rious consideration as indicating the
sentiment of the public at large. He
said that the actual frame of mind
of the public was an open question,
and that there was nothing in the
affidavit that could be interpreted as
reaching the mental reserve of the
people of the Territory.
Kinney insisted that Lightfoot failed
to take a reasonable view of the legal
meaning of a fair and impartial trial.
He said that the phrase meant that all
the machinery of the law is to be put
into operation, through the usual pro-
cedure, to guarantee a defendant an i'm
partial jury and that it takes no cog
nizance Of any assumption of excite
| ment or sentiment on the part of the
public.
The trial of Ruef in San francisco

; ficient indication of the fact that it /:

ant can have a fair trial despite {
! strong public sentiment against him
which. in the Ruef case, even necessi
tated strong guard to prevent th'
