to Foster, had resulted in the proof
that he had been driven off the hill by

The case went to the jury at Ills
this morning after the charge by Judge
Miles which was considered by every
one to lean, if either way, toward the
respondent. The Judge Is charge occu-
pied 80 minutes and then by request of
the respondent $ counsel he added
some features to what he had originally
charged Orrin r. Wright of Newfane
was appointed foreman OF the jury.
Judge Miles defined murder in the
second degree and manslaughter, un-
der which it would be possible to con
Wet Foster-and- then defined self-de
fense. He said that while self-defense
is, as had been argued, "a God given
and statutory right, it is not a hid
I ing place for the guilty and before the
respondent can claim it and be iusti-
/ fed in his claim in the opinion Of the
/ jury they must believe that the kill
ling of Proutv was absolutely necessary.
| If the jury should believe that he used
/ more than necessary force in defending
himself the respondent becomes the ag-
1 gressor. On the other hand he charged
/ that to justify self-defense it was not
necessary for him, the respondent to
suffer bodily harm. If he saw PrOuty
looming at him in hostile manner, even
/ though the respondent : action was
the result of nervousness or fear, he
/ would lac justified in taking his life.
| In considering self-defense he charged
that the jury should take into consider
alton whether Foster had means OF
avoiding n conflict If he had other
means of avoiding Proutv he had no
right to shoot him. 1t had been ar
gued that Foster was on his own prem
ises and that he was not obliged to re
treat, which the court told the jury was
true, and that it was a matter within
the discretion of the respondent alone
but when force can reasonably be avoid
ed the law requires that it shall be.
lie charged that if the jury failed tC
find that the shooting was IN self-de
fense and was unjustifidble, then il
would Ice a question of the degree, anc
presumption would be in favor of tn,
lower degree and the jury could not fin,
for a higher degree unless they fount
that, beyond q reasonable doubt, Eos
ter did moro than would constitute
crime IN the lower degree. lie caution
ed them to take into consideration tn,
appearance and demeanor of the wit
nesses for both sides, and that in con
sidering Prouty they were to bear il
mind his characteristics, size an,
strength as shown by the evidence.
lie said that Foster had a right t,
carry revolver and that the fact tha
he did carry one had no particula
bearing in this case except as consid
!. cred in the ease with other circum
I stances
! After consulting with the attorney
f he charged that if evidence in the cas-
) was susceptible Of two reasonable cor
, structions they should take the one fo
innocence and that should they find tha
the respondent on the stand had give
false statements that might be used b
: the jury us a piece Of evidence.

COLLAPSE OF THE
HUERTA REGIME
1t Believed to Be Inevitable if Foreign
Aid is Withheld But No Specific
Request Has Been Made for by the
Powers.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE in
dieations today were that the American
policy toward Mexico, which it is
hoped the nations of the world would
generally follow, still was hands off.
The general Interpretation of the situa-
tion was that the United States by civ
ing the foreign powers detailed infor-
nation of its own determination to
refuse to recognize acts Of the new
Mexican Congress had indicated de-
sire that the powers generally refrain
from financial dealings with the Huerta
government. So far as could be learn
eel no specific request has been made
for the support of the powers, but there
has been IA plain intimation that the
Washington government believes the
collapse Of the Huerta regime is in
evitable if foreign aid is withheld.
