TXHeSG WaEsV,

When SchEsmann was digging at the
supposed site Of Troy he discovered
masses Of silver in the form OF az
heads. Cote suggested that these
were intended not for implements, but
for money. Bronze ak heads have also
been discovered Il ancient remains,
mingled with metal pieces In the form
Of rings, in such a manner as to sug-
gest that all alike were intended TO
serve as money, and the conclusion is
drawn that IN ancient times the metal
ak head had cone to be a popular
unit OF value for purposes Of barter.
After it had disappeared as actual
money the memory Of it, according to
this theory, was preserved IN the coins
Of TenedOs, which bore the figure Of
an ak head. It has been suggested
that the wedge Of gold" which Achan

of Mr.. Reed as a peaceable, quiet
citizen and many volunteered to
come down here as witnesses to prove
that reputation in this court. He
regrets that cost has been put upon
the county through any act of his
and only this morning he said TO
me that he only wished that his
means would permit him to pay the
cost himself thus far incurred, but
he is unable to do so, he said this
would give him the greatest pleas
ure. He does not deny that he is
guilty of taking a part in this fight
which he should have avoided and
for this offense he is willing to suf-
fer to the extent that this court may
see fit to inflict upon him; he ap-
peals to the leniency of the Court, to
the heart of the Court and to the
mercy of the Court under the state
ments which he has made and which
are conceded in the community
where this unfortunate affair occur
red as being so, as well as through
out the county where the matter has
either been heard or read. He is
prepared to accept such sentence as
this Court may see fit to impose up
on him. He will do this in the in
terest of the people of Wayne coun-
ty; he will do this also because he
is willing to suffer for his foolishness
and recklessness in interfering in
the fight of others but not because
he was any way concerned in the
killing of Silas Lord. On behalf of
my client l personally would ask the
Court to exercise all the leniency and
mercy that your Honor may con-
sistently see fit to do. Immediate
ly after this occurrence Samuel Reed
expressed the deepest regret over the
unfortunate affair. He wrote to
Mrs. Lord, the widow of Silas Lord,
expressing to her his most sincere
sympathy and pity for her in her af-
Fiction. He was repentant from the
first and every act of his and every
word he spoke contained the senti-
ments expressive of repentance and
sorrow for the part which he had un-
fortunately taken and his connection
with the unfortunate affair. His
actions on that day implicate him to
such an extent which may make him
technically guilty of the crime for
which he now pleads guilty, but
which at heart Mr.. Reed was never
guilty of, and / ask the Court in all
! seriousness to extend to Mr.. Reed all
the leniency possible consistent with
justice and l am led to believe that
no matter how small may be the
punishment or how short the term
of Imprisonment given to him by this
Court, it will meet with the full ap-
proval of the community and l be-
| lieVe it will meet with the approval
of the Commonwealth whose duty ii
is to conduct the prosecution of this
defendant. We leave it with your
Honor, because Mr.. Reed has plead
ed guilty to a technical offense which
in law is punishable but he simply
asks for mercy"

to say, Mr.. Reed, other than what
your counsel has said?"

Completely In The Big Fight OF July 1910

ney and the Court feel clearly justi-
fed in accepting your plea, as under
the evidence jury would not be
warranted in convicting you of a
higher crime.
We have considered the statement
made by your counsel of your con-
pection with the killing of Siias E.
Lord and weighed his appeal in your
behalf and taken heed to the alleviat-
ing circumstances admitted by the
District Attorney, and we also agree
with him that a grave crime has
been committed by you and that you
merit serious punishment for the
part you have admitted by your plea
was taken by you in the killing of
Silas e. Lord.
From the time of your arrest and
Imprisonment in the County JAIL
since July 13, 1910, you have in no
way attempted to impede the pro-
gress of justice, and by the plea to-
day entered have saved the county
the necessary cost of an expensive
trial, and we especially give you the
benefit of this fact in fixing the term
Of your sentence. We have before
said from this bench that any per-
son who, upon an indictment being
found against him, shows a genuine
spirit of sorrow for the offense COM
mitted, and admits his guilt, and
does not add to his other crimes
that of false swearing in trial of
his cause, in an attempt to escape
his just deserts, will always have, as
far as possible, the clemency of this
court extended to him upon SEN
tence.
In the killing of Silas E. Lord a
terrible crime was committed, but
the Commonwealth and the Court
have endeavored that justice only
should be meted out to those con-
nected with that most unfortunate
affair, and we trust and believe that
the results of the prosecutions aris-
ing therefrom may be beneficial to
this county, and that neighbors may
cast aside and forget old grudges,
hatred, envy, malice, i'll will and
petty jealousies, and that in their
intercourse with each other they
may observe the Golden Rule.
And we also hope and trust it
may be many years before another
homicide within her borders will
shock the good law-abiding citizens
of Wayne county"

of Guilty on the indictment of

By order of the court the change

Not Guilty on both indictments to
that of Not Guilty on the first
charge, and of Guilty to the sec
ond count of the Indictment, was
granted, the District Attorney, NJ. e.

withdrawal and such change in the
plea as prayed for by the petitioner.
MIR. McCarty's Plea For Mercy.
"On behalf of Mr.. Reed l wish to
say that after due consideration, he
has thought proper to take this
course. He has acted voluntarily
and at his own free will, after care
fully considering all the matters in
cident to and all the results which
would be likely to come to him or
to the community, should he pro-
ceed in having this matter disposed
of by a trial in court. He wishes
me to say in his behalf, that the mat
ter seems to him to be peculiarly un-
fortunate-two men are engaged in
a fight, neither of whom have been
convicted or tried for any offense;
two other people were drawn into
the fight, one of whom has been
convicted of manslaughter and the
other has now pleaded guilty to the
same offense
Samuel Reeds Unique Position.
Samuel Reed is in a position
which is perhaps unparalleled in the
annals of this Court. So closely as
sociated with another person that
the trial of that person to a great
extent tries the issue in Mr.. Reeds
case, at least to such an extent that
it would be impossible for him to OBJ
tain a jury in Wayne county who
had not already formed some opinion
regarding his guilt or innocence and
would make it extremely difficult if
not impossible for him to obtain an
impartial trial in this county; he has
also taken into consideration that
the taxpayers of the county of Wayne
are not responsible in any way for
this unfortunate affair; that the tax
payers of the county of Wayne ought
not to be punished by reason of the
trouble occasioned and the expense
incurred at this fight, and for this
reason as we'll as others, he is will
ing to take the consequences of his
act without any trial or any furth-
er expense to the county.
Samuel Reed has from the be-
ginning shown a disposition in this
matter to be fair and to take such
action as would best serve not only
his interest but the interest of all
parties concerned. In the killing of
Silas Lord he had no part; he never
intended to kill him, he never had
the slightest enmity or i'll will to-
wards him, in fact he was his friend
and the last man that Mr.. Reed
would undertake to do the slightest
injury. Circumstances and condi-
tions existing on the day of this fight

pointed Secretary by Prof. Koehler.
In the absence of the first two
essayists, the program, which was
intended to be a review of the re-
quirements for provisional certifi-
Gates, to aid the teachers in taking
the examinations, was opened by an
informal discussion as to the
Methods of Teaching "The Merchant
of Venice"
"You all have a good deal of
courage or you wouldn't be school
teachers!" remarked Superintend-
ent Koehler in complimenting the
large number of teachers who had
the courage to come out on such an
unfavorable morning.
Miss Vera Murray, a teacher in
the Texas High school, was asked to
give her views on how to teach
Shakespeare Merchant of Venice. "
She said: 81 have them 1.-THE pupils

speech, commencing THE quality Of

and intellectual attainments."

Koehler, where the boys all felt
sorry for Shylock, but the girls had
no sympathy for him, and felt that
he got what he deserved.
"Supposing we had some Jews in
the class, might they not take excep-
tion to Shakespeare portrayal of
the character of "Shylock?" ques-
toned one of the pedagogues.

however, were such that Mr.. Reed
was drawn into the fight, did make
an assault upon Silas Lord, but the
injury inflicted by Samuel Reed did
not kill him, did not even seriously
hurt him, and if the injury inflicted
by Reed upon Silas Lord stood alone,
Reed could never be charged with
manslaughter or any other kind of
homicide; his offense could not pos

grayated assault and battery.
