Commercial club rooms in the Carlson
building on Second street and Nor
folk avenue will take place Wednes-
day evening, when the Commercial
club will give a smoker. Light re-
freshments are to be served. At this

Central Association of Commercial
club secretaries, will address the
Commercial club members on What
the Norfolk Commercial Club Has
Accomplished"
The club rooms were finished a
few days ago and Secretary Hawkins
moved into the new building.
Mr.. Hawkins became a member Of
the Commercial Club Secretaries as.

discussions on papers which were
read by other members. Norfolk's
literature, he declares, made a "hit,"
and, although Norfolk was the small

during the meeting as coming

witnesses is also for you to deter
mine.
The law, based upon the expert
ence OF centuries of time, has found
it very wise thing to leave the de-
termination of the questions of fact,
as a general rule, to twelve men in
stead of to one man. And this is one
of the principal reasons why the jury
system should be perpetuated.
Twelve fair, impartial men, mingling
with the people and coming from
among them, and knowing of their
everyday doings, are best qualified
to pass upon the offenses of men;
and their judgment is more to be re-
lied upon in all matters of fact than
the judgment of one man.
AS you are sole judges of the
facts of the case, | would also say
this; That you have been sworn to
decide this case on the law and the
evidence; that the statement of the
law by the court is the best evil
dence of the law within your reach,
and that, therefore, in Wow of that
evidence and viewing it as evidence
only, you are to be guided by what
the court has said, or may say, with
reference to the law.
The defendant comes into court
under the protection which applies
to every person accused of crime, un-
der the presumption of innocence 1t
is a principle that is founded on
large human experience, and it must
never be forgotten, never lost sight
of, that every person is presumed to
be innocent until proper evidence
satisfies the jury, beyond any rea-
sonable doubt, of his guilt.
In a community where it is alleg-
ed Il startling crime has been COM
mitted, and the newspapers contain
ing accounts of it are generally cir
culated, and it is talked about here
and there, it would perhaps be inn
possible to find jury of intelligent
men who have not at least formed
impressions regarding the guilt or in
nocence of the party accused of the
crime. 1t is your duty, however, to
disregard any impressions which you
may have formed respecting this mat
ter, and to approach its considera-
tion with the determination to con-
slider nothing except the evidence
given here in open court.
Under the Indictment in this case,
the defendant may be found guilty
of murder of the first degree, of mur-
der of the second degree, or of vol
untary manslaughter, or she may be
acquitted altogether, accordingly as
the evidence may justify it.
At common law, murder is defined
as THE unlawful killing by a per-
son of sound mind and discretion of
any reasonable creature in being, and

under the Kings peace, with malice
aforethought, either express or i'm
Piled" and this is the law of our
own state, modified by the 74th Sec
tion of the Act of 31st March 1860,
which divides the crime of murder
into two degrees or classes. This
section declares that "all murder
which shall be perpetrated by means
of poison, or by lying in wait, or by
any other kind Of willful, deliberate
and premeditated killing, or which
shall be committed in the perpetra-
tion of, or attempt to perpetrate,
any arson, rape, robbery or burglary,
shall be deemed murder of the first
degree, and all other kinds of mur-
der shall be deemed murder of the
second degree; and the jury before
whom any person indicted for mur-
der shall be tried SHALL if they find
such person guilty thereof, ascertain
in their verdict whether it be mur-
der or the first or second degree"
Murder, in our state, may briefly
be defined as the unlawful killing of
a human being with malice afore-
thought, express or implied. Malice
is a necessary element of the crime
or murder. If the element of malice
is wanting, then there is no murder;
the crime falls below the grade of
murder and the offense is either
manslaughter or crime of some
lesser grade. The common idea of
malice is that it means hate, hatred,
ill will or i'll feeling towards an
other person. 1t has been said that
malice comprehends not only this but
every case where there is wickedness
of disposition, hardness of heart,
cruelty, recklessness of consequences
and a mind regardless of social duty.
Malice may be inferred from the act
done, the character of the weapon
used, or other circumstances show
ing a perversely wicked heart. -
This malice. however, need not be
expressly proven. 1t may be inferred
from the conduct of the parties, or
from the use of weapon. 1t may be
expressed or implied. Expressed
malice might be shown to exist from
threats against another, previous
quarrels, old grudges, proof of
motive. Malice may be implied by
law from any deliberate and cruel act
committed by one person against an
other, and as an ingredient of muir
der is presumed from the use of
deadly weapon against a vital part
of the body.
The distinguishing feature of muir
der, either of the first or of the sec
ond degree, is this malice, and be-
fore a person can be convicted OF
that he has committed a homicide

When Mrs. Lord came into court
for sentence Tuesday at 2 p. m,
Judge Searle before passing SEN
tence asked her whether she had
anything to say.
well, | have this much to say,
1 didn't touch Silas Lord nor kill
him
"This is a woman" said Attorney
Lee, in asking for a mild sentence.
"A sentence of year or a year and
a half for this offense would be suf-
hcient."
"The Jury" said Judge Searle,
might have found you guilty of a
more serious crime than manslaugh-
ter, and we consider perhaps that
you were fortunate"
Now, January "a, 1911, this is
the sentence of the court that you
pay the costs of prosecution and a
fine of $500 and undergo an inde-
terminate sentence of not less than
three years nor more than twelve
years at separate and solitary con-
finement in the Eastern Peniten-
tiary."
There was no demonstration
whatever and Mrs. Lord passed out
of the court with the same equani-
nifty and self control which she has
exhibited throughout the entire
trial.
Friday Morning.
That the interest in the famous
trial of Leona Lord for the alleged
killing at Equinunk, July 12, 1910, of
her brother-in-law, "Sike'' Lord, con-
tinues unabated was shown by the
large number of people that crowded
the court room all day Friday, large
percentage of whom were women.
Expert medical testimony at the
morning session was especially favor
able 70 the defense. On cross-exami-
nation, DR.. Frank Woolsey, Hancock,
n. Y, was compelled to admit that he
saw no evidence of concussion when
he examined the wound on Silas
Lords head.
DR.. w. II. McConvill, a practitioner
of sixteen years experience, a grad
uate of Cornell and of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, New York,
and who spent several years in hos
pital, was a strong witness for the
defense. Notwithstanding the merci-

ciate counsel for the prosecution, he

Lords head could have been produc-

lection after objection to the lengthy
hypothetical questions put by Lawyer
Kimble to DR.. McConvill, but in al
most every instance he was overruled
by Judge A. II. Searle. DIR. McConvill
contended that it would be an utter
impossibility to make such wound
with pick and have only paralysis
