Question of Preparation.

'.3 This Government is prepared to
consider the question of maintaining the
status quo as to military and naval pre-
paration during the period of investiga-
ton, and If the contracting nation de-
sires to include this, and this Govern
ment suggests tentatively that the par
ties agree that there shall be no change
IN the military and naval program dur
ing the period of investigation unless
danger to one of the contracting parties
from a third power compelS a change in
said program. in which case the party
feeling itself menaced by a third power,
chall confidc ntially communicate the
matter in writing to the other contract
ing party and it shall thereupon be re-
leased from the obligation not to change
its military or naval program and this
release will at the same time operate
as release Of the other contracting
party. This protects each party from
the other In ordinary cases, and vet pro-
yides freedom of action in emergencies
"All of these suggestions. however
are presented for consideration, and not
with the intention OF imposing any fixed
conditions. The principle of investiga-
tior being accepted. the details are mat
ters for conference and consideration"

Defines Reasonable Doubt.

"A reasonable doubt" Judge Ritchie
said. is fair doubt growing out Of the
evidence or lack OF evidence in the case
II is not a mere imaginary, captious or
possible doubt, hut fair doubt based
upon reason and common sense. II is
such doubt as may leave your minds,
after a careful examination OF all the
evidence in the case, In that condition
that you have an abiding conviction, to
moral certainty. Of the truth of the
charge here made against the defendant.
A doubt TO Justify an acquittal must be
reasonable and arise from a candid and
impartial consideration of all the EVIL
oence admitted in the case, and il must
be such a doubt as would cause a rea-
hesitate and pause before acting In the
srayer and more important affairs Of
Circumstautial and direct evidence
were defined. and circumstantlal evil
dence was held 10 be OF the same force
and effect as direct evidence. provided

fendant or his wife to testify In his be-
half. The fact that Csenevieve InloUy is
the defendants wife docs not carry with
it the fact that she was necessarily HIS

study the matter OF motive with care.

great enough 20 prompt the crime.
Judge Richie referred to the testi-
fnony and evidence relating 10 the jail
break, and said that Christensen's testl-
'nony alone and unsupported cannot be
used against Inlow, because Christensen
was an accomplice, The jury was warned
that the attempt TO escape may have
arisen from other causes than conscious
guilt The jury was told 10 consider any
facts that tend TO explain the reason
for the attempt or that show that II NAV
have been consistent with Innocence

II Is your duty TO consider all the
