DEFINITION OF A BRAIN

One of the unpleasant features of the police and inferior courts Is that not only has the presiding iurist 10 act as judge and jury both. but often has to act as prosecutor also. The vast majority of cases that come before the police judge are tried without counsel and the court has ofttmes io bring out the testimony by question: ing and cross questioning the Wit nesses. The presiding genius of the Elnsley police court is Judge ]. T. Low cry. we'll known attorney who re- cently became a benedict. In his young CT days the judge aspired to be n rival of De Palma, the speed demon. and his greatest ambition was to drive q | racing car in worlds championship race.

During her absence from the city Miss Sheppard left the home un- tenanted, it is said, and entrance was easily secured through a window. William Johnson, negro, was placed on trial here today charged with murder in connection with the killing of Lewis
 Brown. the young white man for whose murder Levi Oldacre is now under sen tence of death Johnson was implicated by a confession of Oldacre, said by So- licitor Hutson to have been made since Oidacre's conviction.
