DISSATISFIED
At CLEARY VERDICT

Poughkeepsie. n. Y. Dec. 2O-Supreme
Court Justice Joseph Morschauser, who
presided NJ tho trial of William V.
Cloary at New CITY " y, stated to- day
that the verdict OF acquittal rendered by
the jury did not accord with his Views
of the case. Murder is murder. call it
by whatever name YOU will" is the be-
lief of the Justice.
In n statement made to-day to The
Associated Press. Justice Morschauser
said:
Il was not satisfied with the verdict
had to accept It and respect IT, but it
did not accord to my Views. The Jury
had the power to render this verdict If
they believed some of the testimony Of
some Of the witnesses There may have
been n reasonable doubt as to the de-
gree of crime of the defendants guilt.
but murder Is murder, call It by what
over name you will.
THE jury remained cut for over six
hours and / believed that a verdict
against the defendant for manslaughter
would be found This was my view
81 believe sympathy played a great
part In the case. although | warned the
jury in reference to this several times
and not to allow it to influence their
verdict There was much sentiment in
favor Of Cloary II seems some people
lose sight Of the crime itself
THE jury live in that community and
county and are answcrable to their fellow
citizens and neighbors and perhaps they
will have some explaining to do. II
the jury did not conscientiously decide
the case according to the evidence it
must rest with themselves, each indvid-
ually, and their responsibility to their

lated their oaths as jurors

the question again at the approaching
session of the LEGISLATURE Apart from
it's unfairness to other colleges. the state
of Vermont is In no position to make
the University of Vermont a STATE in
stitutiOn, and to assume the great bur
den which that would entail, especially
In the face OF the States primary duty

The commission recommends that the
Vermont policy of cooperation of the
State with the college. as defined and de-
Tended In my statement to the commits
sion March 20, 1914, should be continued.
II Is clear to the commission that Middle
bury College is in position TO render GER
tain educational service to Vermont bet
ter and more economically than any other
agency, and they advise what is virtually
a contract with the college to do this
work, with a suitable appropriation there
for. If any other institution adopts the
doE-in- the-manrer policy of opposing all
state appropriations unless all are made
to it, il will have to face the contrary
recommendation of the educational com
mission.
"As the special work of Middlebury Col
