LAST MOOT COURT
TO BE HELD TONIGHT

The last case to be held in the Moot
Court of Willamette university will com
mence promptly at 1880 this evening
in the circuit court room at the court
house, when Murray c. Wheat answers
to the charge of grand larceny. Wheat
is charged with the felOnious taking
and carrying away of one length of
sewer pipe from the city Of Salem with
intent to convert the same to his own
use. Prosecuting Attorney Ed Piasecki
(Ka. Choe-no, that IS not the right pro-
nunciatiOn) things he has a clear case
against the young culprit and hopes
that the court and jury will do their
duty and give the maximum sentence.
Wheat, however, is defended by the
brilliant keOter, one of the best jury
lawyers in the city and this is expected
to be one of the hardest fought cases
in the history of the court.
Phe trials of the moot court are al.
ways open to the public who have as
much fun and instruction out of the
cases as do the embryo attorneys them.
