plation Of law, it embraces four dis
tinct felonles
Murder in the first degr"e; murder
in the second degree; voluntary man.
slaughter and involuntary manslaugh-
ter. Without reference at present to
the facts of this particular case. l
shall now explain to you what In law
1t takes to constitute each OF these
different offenses."
Judge Hart then at length defined
the various felonIes mentioned.
"The distinctive feature of murder
In the first degree" said he, "is pre-
meditation. and this element involves
a previously formed design, or actual
intention to kill"
Judge Hart defined malice, and de-
clared 1t was the principal Ingredient
Of murder in the second degree,
Judge Hart defined heat OF passion
as excitement of such a nature as
would obscure reason of any ordinary
man and render him liable to do an
act which might cause death.
Previous threats by the deceased
made against the defendant, or acts OF
hostility toward him, OF previous abuse
of him. how violent so ever 1t may
have been, or trespasse5 upon his prop
erty," continued Judge Hart, rs not
such provocation as the law recog-
nizes as sufficient TO reduce an uDlaw-
ful killing to manslaughter il the kill
ing was done at such time as had
lapsed after these things had been
done, as a reasonable person would
have regained self-control, and kill
ing under these circumstances would
have been deemed by the law mali
cious, and not the result Of provoca-
ton, and, therefore, murder. In other
words. II there hal been sufficient
time for the passion TO cool, the provo
cation will not mitigate subsequent
killing to manslaughtor. The question
is not whether the blow was actually
struck in the continuance Of passion
but whether there had been a reason
able time for the passion TO cool in the
case of any ordinary person, This
must depend upon the circumstances
of the particular case under inyesti-
cation.
Involuntary manslaughter is a case
of killing. where 1t plainly appears
that death was not intended, but was
the result of some unlawful act
You enter upon this investigation
with the presumption that the defend
ant is not guilty Of any crime and this
presumption stands as witness for
him until it is rebutted and overturned
by competent and credible proof, sutti-
ciently strong to satisfy you beyond a
hf hat
guilty OF some one OF the offenses
which have been heretofore defined
and explained to YOU"
Judge Hart finished his charge to
the jury In the Cooper-Sharp murder
case at 11:15 this morning and the
jury at once retired.
The jury returned to Its room at
1:20 p. M after having gone to lunch.
There were no indications that YER
dict would be reached very soon.

A CASE OF WEIRD TELEPATRY
Mrs. Louise Thies, Sixty-four Years

Nashville, Ill.-An intuition which

took Mrs. Louise Thies, sixty-four
years old, from her home in St. Louis
to the bedside of her dying grandson,
Henry Holman, at Cordes Station, a
hamlet eight miles south Of Nashville,

he died, Mrs. Thies, having missed

Asbury Park, N. j., May 25.-Miss
Emma Trotter, local missionary for
the Florence Crittenden Circle of this
city, is recovering at her home here
from an experience which befell her
last week when she was held prison
er for two days and nights in a hut
outside of Ocean Grove, under guard
Of two men who threatened her with
bodily harm unless she revealed the
whereabouts Of young girl whom
she had persuaded to give up her old
life and reform. Miss Trotter says she
was decoyed to the lonely hut by a
woman named Worrell, who told her
that a girl wanted to see her there.
Miss Trotter says she was drugged
by the men, and for two days was
only permitted to regain conscious
ness for short intervals, during which
she was questioned as to the where
al outs of the girl, and then drugged
again. At last one of her captors re.
Tented and permitted her to escape
while his companion was asleep.
Miss Trotter admitted that she
could identify the house in which she
was held prisoner, and knew the men
but would not tell who they were.

STEAL SEVEN BAGS OF MAIL
Masked Men Disappear is Minutes
After They Cover Engineer and
Fireman with Their Guns In the
City Limits Of Omaha.

Omaha, Neb, May 2E.-Four mask.
ed bandits held up the Chicago night
express on the Union Pacific Railroad
in the suburbs of this city, and es-
capped in an automobile with seven
bags of registered mail valued at
100000. The hold-up was carried out
with remarkable quickness and suc-
cess. Fifteen minutes after the
bandits covered the fireman and en-
gineer with revolvers they had looted
the mail car, and disappeared with
seven bags filled with registered mail
for New York. Passengers, trainmen
and mail sorters were cowed by scores
of revolver shots fired into the air.
A brakeman tried to attack one of
the bandits, but he was driven back
by several shots at close range, two
of the bullets cutting his clothing.
The hold-up was within mile of
the house where Eddy" Cudahy was
hidden by the kidnapper, Pat Grove,
few years ago. The Union Pacific
officials made known that they would
demand an investigation of the police
department for failure to make the
slightest move against the robbers.
The hold-up was less than three miles
! from the Union Pacific station. in the
heart of the city. Policemen were
supposed to be on beat in streets
! paralleling the track where the hold
up took place. The revolver shots
alarmed persons for half a dozen
blocks to both sides of the track yet
it was half an hour before police
man appeared. Several men who ran
from their homes fired after the rob-
bers in the automobile, but it is not
known if the bullets took effect. The
bandits replied with revolvers, but all
their bullets went wild.
The Union Pacific has offered $1,000
for the capture of each of the bandits,
or $4,000 in all The train was enter
ing the city from the West and was
due to make only a short stop before
continuing the run to Chicago. The
speed was about forty miles an hour
and the train was approaching a cut
when the engineer saw fire blazing
in the middle of the track He threw
on the emergency brakes, and the eX
press ground to stop within fifteen
feet of the fire, which had been built
of paper and dry sticks. Two bandits
sprang up into the cab and pointed re
volvers at the heads of the fireman
mail car and disappeared.

STRIKE TIES UP RAILROAD
The Georgia Refuses to Run Trains

Augusta, Ca, May 25.-The Georgia

so when the State agrees to protect

THE GRACEFUL GIRL.
Has an Air of Superiority That
Forces Her Upon Our Notice.

Has an Air of Superiority That
Forces Her Upon Our Notice.
Have you ever noticed the great
amount Of admiring attention which
the graceful girl attracts? Even al
moderately good-looking, and not
prettily or smartly dressed, there is
an air Of natural superiority about
her which forces her upon our no.
tice. This superiority lies In the
fact that the graceful girl knows
how to poise her body correctly, how
to walk and sit becomingly. Con-
sequently no matter what she wears
or what her features may be like,
she always appears to the best ad-
vantage.
A plain girl who knows how to
stand, move, and sit with ease is
far more admired than the beauty
who is clumsy and awkward. Some
girls are naturally graceful. But
there Is no reason why those who
are lacking in this respect should
not add to their charms by care
fully cultivating the art. An erect
carriage, graceful walk, graceful
manner of sitting and rising are
necessary If a girl wishes to be
really charming. And it is quite
within her own power to acquire
these virtues. In the first place she
must study her own defects and the
faults Of other girls in order thai
she may avoid them.
Do not try to copy the graceful
girl off hand, so to speak, by forcing
yourself into what, to you would bt
unnatural poses and attitudes. Tha
is not the way to cultivate graceful
ness. In fact by doing so you will
probably only make yourself mor'
awkward and clumsy. BY Away
trying to avoid the little fault
which prevent a girl from becoming
graceful, you will as time goes ol
find yourself drifting quite natural
ly into the ways and manners o
the graceful girl.

MUST GIVE WIFE 20 PER CENT.
Court Figures that She Is Entitled tc
That Much Pin Money.

That Much Pin Money.
Kansas City.-Municipa Judge Kyle
fixed the amount of pin money" a
wife should be allowed at 20 per cent.
of her husbands income. Judge Kyle
figured it out to an exact nicety with
pencil and paper.
Mrs. J. w. Jollif had her husband in
court on a charge of disturbing her
peace. The chief charge Is that he
didn't give her enough money.
How much do you makeF" Judge
Kyle asked Jollif.
"Sixty dollars a month";" Jollif re-
piled.
The Court figured a minute and
said: Now, I'll tell you what yon
ought to do. After the rent and the
household expenses are paid you
ought to give your wife SO week
She's entitled to that much. She takes
care of the children and she never
goes out of the house. I'll tell you
something else She'll save more
money than you will out Of that So q
week"
Jollif started to tell the Court that
his wife took money from under his
pillow while he was asleep, but the
Court waved him aside.
"You may go, with the understand
ing that your wife gets her 20 pel
cent. regularly" Judge Kyle said.
