The unused brick building OF the
Diamond State Steel Company, on the
north side OF the Christiana river at

structiOn.
The entire fire department Is in
service. The building on fire was not
included in the property bought by

Shortly before $50 o'clock a general
alarm was sent in and the cid brick
building looked TO be doomed.
Some electric light poles support
ing high tension wires, which supply
current to Delaware City and New
Castle. caught fire and the wires fall
ing made the work OF the firemen
dangerous.
The police we're having trouble in
keeping the crowds at a safe distance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Patrolman McA1eer passed the build
ing five minutes before the blaze was
discovered He had seen a large bon
fire a short distance from the plant,
and it is possible that sparks from
this bonfire set fire to the unused
structure.
For a tine sparks were flying to-
wards the Wilson Line and other
buildings. but the firemen were con-
filming the blaze to the one structure.
At 9 o'clock it looked as though
the building would be totally de-
strOyed.

Unreasonable Doubt"

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt" means, and what
the law means when it says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted if the
jury has a reasonable doubt of his in
nccence But when the judge gives
a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt it is clear that nobody could
understand what it meant.
Saint Augustine, when questioned
about doctrine of the church. said:
'If you ask me, don't know; but
If you don't ask me, I know very
we'll"
The result is, in any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to
find verdict, taking with them an
armful of instructions. Half of these
instructions will tell them that IL they
believe certain things, they must find
the prisoner guilty, and the other half
will tell them that If they believe other
things, they must acquit the prisoner;
and sometimes these instructions will
be so drawn that, upon the statement
of the same beliefs, one instruction
tells them to acquit the prisoner and
the other tells them to convict him.
So they do not know what to do and
probably toss up penny on the YER
