were separated. The disposition of
these alleged errors will not require
an extended opinion because there
was really no error committed by the
trial court to the prejudice of the
rights of the defendant.
A motion for a change Of venue
was made and the court after hearing
five of six witnesses for the defend
ant and probably 20 for the Common
wealth overruled the motion and in
so doing did not abuse the sound dis
erection vested in the court in respect
to matters like this. If it should be
held that the court under the evidence
heard on the subject committed error
in refusing TO grant the motion, there
would scarcely be any important
homicide case in which it would not
be the duty of the court to grant a
change of venue if requested by the
defendant. There was no such show
ing made as would warrant the court
in ruling that the defendant could not
have a fair trial in Bracken county.
OF course wide spread and grea; in
terest was manifested by the people
of the horrible manner in which the
crime was committed. and that there
was a general desire that the perpe-
traitor should be punished is admitted.
but these circumstances are not rea-
sons to authorize a change of venue.
There is suggestion of error grow
ing out of the manner in which the
jury was selected but an inspection of
the record satisfies us that no error in
this respect was committed, although
we should say that even if error ap-
peared, it would not be available
grounds for reversal as We have writ
ten many times
There is also some criticism on &C
count of the failure of the court to in
struct the jury upon the whole law
o fthe case but there is no merit what
ever in this complaint as the court
fully and accurately gave 10 the jury
every instruction to which the defen-
dant is entitled.
The trial continued for several days
and towards the end increasingly
large crowds of people were in at
tendance but there was no disorder

cumstances the guilt of the defendant.
The trial Judge presided with absolute
fairness. The attorney for the COM
monwealth did not at any time or in
any way exceed his legitimate duty.
The case for the defendant was prac-
ticed with skill and ability by his
capable counsel and every opportunity
was afforded both the commonwealth
an dthe defendant to present their re-
spective contentious.
The evidence although circumstan-
tial pointed so unerringly to the de-
PENDANT that we have never had occa-
sion to consider a case resting on cir
cTmstantial evidence, that so COM
pletely established guilt.
Wherefore the judgment is affirmed.

or violence, or threat of violence. Two
days before the trial closed the court
found hat The officers of the COURT
were not able to control the move
ments of the assembled crowd and re-
quested that soldiers be sent in order
that the crowd might be better man
aged than it was being or could be by
the county officers. For this purpose
a company of soldiers arrived and as
sisted the sheriff and his Deputies in
keeping the court house clear of more
people than could be conveniently ac-
comodated therein. This was the only
reason why the presence of soldiers
was needed and there is no fact or
circumstance appearing in tn record
to show that the presence of the SOL
diers had any influence upon the jury
in reaching the verdict 1t IS not I'M
usual in this state in criminal trials
of uncommon interest to have present,
soldiers. for the purpose of preserving
order and preventing violence and we
find no fault with the action of the
court in asking for the soldiers to rs
sist the Sheriff and his deputies in SO
controlling the crowds who frequent
ed the court house that the trial might
proceed in a dignified and orderly
way
The ground that some error was
committed by the failure of the court
to adminish witnesses placed under
rule that they must not after they had
testified discuss with other witnesses
the evidence they had given is not
pressed by counsel in their brief and
as no error was committed in this
particular, We need not spend further
time discussing this ground.
1t is said in the brief of counsel that
errors we're committed by the trial
court in permitting incompetent evil
dence to go to the jury but an inspec-
ton of this record assisted by brief of
counsel satisfies us that no error in
the admission or rejection of evidence
was committed by the trial court.
In conclusion We want to say this
record is singularly free from error

Europe's Savings Increase.

From various parts Of the world come
reports Of huge increases in savings bank
accumulations. Not only in the United
States, but in the European countries
deposits are from 50 to 200 per cent
greater than before the war. Italy reports
the most surprising gam Of all, savings ac-
counts in that kingdom having more than
doubled in one year alone, being 625,-
100000 lire in 1918 and no less than l.
SOC, 600, 900 in 1919.
Undoubtedly these figures indicate a
tendency toward economy and thrift.
But probably they are TO some extent an
index of the depreciation Of European cur
rencies, as well as of growth Of individual
prosperity. Economic wealth can be
measured only in commodities, not in
paper money.
1t is true that there are unmistakable
indications, Of upstirring in Europe For
eign trade is increasing, the wheels of in
dustry are turning, men are buckling
down to work It obvious, however, that
Europe is regaining painfully and slowly,
though surely, the ground lost by the
war
