Before one of the largest
crowds of the March term of
court, Thomas Wright, colored,
55 years, was tried for the mur
der of Louis Moore on Christmas
Day, 1909. The jury, after be-
ing out two hours, returned a
verdict of manslaughter d
Wright was sentenced to 10 years
in the Chester penitentiary by
presiding judge, Hon. J. A.
Creighton.
On the afternoon of the day in
question Thomas Wright and
Louis Moore. both coiored, of this
city, engaged in an alteration in
an East Washington ST. saloon.
which terminated in fight from
which Moore received knife
wounds which caused his death
on Dec 28th. Wright was indict-
ed by the Grand Jury, and his
case was tried in the Circuit
Court last Tuesday.
A Very Poor Case
The case for the defense was a
very poor one, owing to the fact
that the defense had only 2 wit
nesses, and they proved to be
more to the detriment to the de
fendant that to his benefit. The
jury, from the testimony of the
prosecution. might easily have
found the defendant guilty of
first degree murder, the case was
so very clear. The counsel for
the defense made hard fight for
their client, but the odds we're
too great to be overcome by mere
argument.
Jealousy of Attorneys.
1t is rumored that comprom.
ise could have been made where.
by the defendant, by pleading
guilty of cutting to wound, would
have been let off with a year in
the penitentiary, but owing to
jealousy of the defendants coun-
sci, and the confidence of Wright
IN this acquittal, the proposition
did not go through.
Argument of Attorneys.

for the defense, was very dramat-
ic and earnest before the jury.

SCHOOL LECTURES
MAY Be RESUMED
Officials to Submjr Plans

WOULD ASK FUND
OF NEXT CONGRESS
Appropriation Formerly Granted
Was Dropped Three
. ... Years Ago.

A free lecture course, that will en-
brace popular scientific and historical
subjects. is contemplated by officials Of
the public schools
IF the project meets with the favor Of
the Board of Education an appropriation
NAV be asked Of Congress for this pur-
pose, and in the meanwhile lectures may
be given by volunteers.
Such an appropriation was formerly
granted the schools. but it was discon-
tinued three years ago. and at that time
the work was dropped.
Superintendent A. 7. Stuart today
said he was a stanch advocate of a
popular lecture course. such as is now In
vogue in New York city.
They have a splendidly organized
system of lectures there, which has
greatly interested me, and I have
watched their work with the heartiest
approval" the superintendent said to-
day. Washington is an ideal city for
the same kind Of work, both because
the audiences would be appreciative and
because the lecturers we could COM
mand here are superior TO those af-
forded by any other city in this coun-
try.
The plan Of volunteer lectures has
its drawbacks. The lecturer is likely
TO cancel his engagement for a social
function. To carry out the project
properly we should have an appropri-
alton"

and even Cabinet officers, in address
ing the pupils and teachers of our
high schools the SUPERINTENDENT
said That department of high school
work is one Of our most valuable
assets"
w. V. Cox, president Of the Board of
Education, declared he was in favor
OF the project, If it could be accom-
plished without sacrificing the chill

our first duty is to the children d

quately been provided for in every de-
tan can we consistently take up post
graduate work, and the general edu-
cation Of the older folk"

TRADES DAYA SUCCESS
Large Crowd of People in Town
 on Last Trades Day.

Trades Day last Friday was the most successful of any of the Trades Days yet held in Newark.
 There was pretty fair-sized crowd of people in town and con- siderable trading of one kind and another took place.
 Several mules were sold at auc- tion and there was quite good deal of other trading of various kinds. Most of the merchants re- port good business. Will Du- vail, the genial secretary of the Moore Brothers Company, in- forms The Journal that his com pany broke the season's record for cash sales.
 Adams Bros, E. E. Allen, M. Drennen, NJ. s. Fisher, Galloway's Restaurant, J. II. Holderby, E. J. Magness, Newark Drug Go. and the Newark Lumber Co., all re- port good trade in their respec- tive lines. The aforementioned firms all made reduced price on some line of goods for that day and all say they are we'll pleased with the result.
 The cash prize offered for the best young mule shown in town on that day was won by J. K. Prince.
 w. l.. Davidson of Oil Trough won the prize on the most valu- able bale of cotton sold in Newark on that day. The bale weighed TO pounds and sold for 14374 cents per pound, netting Mir. Day : idson $102.06. The cotton was bought by J. w. Sisk.
 A. F. Yates of Charlotte was given the prize for the largest load of cotton seed brought in with Il single team. The load was bought by c. F. Vaughan.
 The Trades Day sentiment is growing and as each succeeding one gets better, it is a safe predic- tion that the Trades Day move- ment is going to be a success.
