There was a class Of eight persons
confirmed at the Church of the Re-
deemer Sunday morning by Bishop
Olmstead. This is very large class
and the first one at the church for
some time. The audience was filled
with friends and relatives Of those
joining. The ritualistic service and
elaborate musical program. to say
nothing of the beautiful picture which
the class made in their white dresses
and wells, will long be remembered
by those present. The confirmation
sermon was preached by the bishop
and was a splendid address on the
spiritual strength which comes to the
true Christian to enable him to lead
life acceptable to God and in con-
formity with the faith he processes.
Father Brown was the celebrant In
the communion service,
One cloud there was to darken the
otherwise perfect day, and that was
because the death Of her brother just
before the beginning OF the service
prevented Miss Betina Jackson from
being present with the others OF the
class for confirmation.

PENDANT to have been fatally bent
on mischief or filled with a reckless
disregard of human life
Pointing out that the evidence
showed simply that there had been a
scuffle and a shooting, and conse-
quently that nothing occurring be
fore the time of the scuffle should
be allowed to influence the minds
of the jurors, he argued Unat the
pOsLon sof the two men when seen
by the witnesses, Krausse and Car
penter, and the course taken by the

been the aggressOr. The prisoner,
Judge Wells asserted, had the same
right to live and to defend his life
as di dthe other man and upon the
ground that his action had simply
been in. defense of that right, the
jury was asked to acquit him.
In summing up for the State,
District Attorney KIieber reviewed
the evidence of the main witnesses,
Carpenter and Krausse, showing that
in this case the former had contra
dicted his testimony given at the
examining trial before Justice Ga
vito, as well as denying under cross
examination statements he had made
on the direct. While making light
of the witness entire credibility, the
district attorney endeavoredl to bring
out the points in which his testimony
agreed with that of Mr.. Krausse in
showing that the defendant was the
agressor and that the negro was
shot just after he had broken loose
and was backing away from the ac-
cused.
Carpenter, under cross examination,
regarding the butting tactics of the
negro, he said, was not supported
by the evidence given by Carpenter
himself on direct examination nor
by that given by Krausse.
Regarding the physical makeup
of the two men, he admitted that
Brewer was heavier and more power
full than Dougherty. arguing from
that fact that the former, had he

been the agressor could have pre-
vented the defendant from drawing
his gun, or, at least, from bringing
the weapon into position necessary
to the firing of a fatal shot.
On the contrary, the district attor-
ney cOntended that the evidence
showed that the negro had acted &C
cording to the primal instincts OF
self-preservation which impehed him
in desperation to endeavor to get
away from an aggressor and that the
crime was a deliberate case of I'M
lawful killing"
A recess was taken at the con
clustio nof the district attorneys
