people. for there was variety OF song
and story wcll executed BY the several
participants. II was stated by many
that the concert was the best OF its

be tru;hfully said that none was more
enthusiastically received.
The opening Of the program was one
of the interesting parts, being a brief
synopsis Of the birth and life Of Burns,
together with quotations. James Mac

the numbers rendered were such IA

LOUD WAIVED RIGHT

John F. Brown Took
An Hour in Charging
Jury

Cambridge, Mass. Jan. 26.-I'he case
of Clarence w. Loud Of Melrose

James A. Preston Of Wakefield laet
April, went to the jury just before
noon to-day.
Judge John +. Brown Of superior
court took an hour in charging the
jury. Loud waived his right to address
the jury.
In his charge Judge Brown explained
the difference between direct testimony
and circumstantial evidence.
"On the evening of April 8 some time
between 0 and 9:30 o'clock he said, "a
policeman was shot in Wakefield. In
such cases the commonwealth uses all
its powers to locate the criminal. :
.The commonwealth has claimed, i
he continued, ~that certain eireum
stances were the facts. They have ex.
planned their theory to you. The de-
fendant claims the circumstances are
explainable on other grounds.
The defendant does not claim The
shooting was done in self defense. He.
saws he wasn't there and doesn't know
about it.1
The issues before the jury, The Judge
said. were whether Preston was mur
dered by anybody. and Il so Il the
defendant the murderer
You cannot find him guilty Of first
degree murder unless you find beyond
1 reasonable doubt that be killed Pres
ton as the result Of deliberate plan
formed previous to the shooting Non
.an't find him guilty of second degree
murder unless you find Il was with
malice aforethought." He added that i
lid not follow from the fact that no
nan saw the shooting that this man
.annot be convicted
Loud was charged with Preston's
murder after witnesses had told the
police OF seeing an automobile bearing /

TEMPERATURES TODAY.

/ The peak Of the present cold wave.
and perhaps the most frigid weather Of
the winter Of le2l-22, was reached to-
day when, BY official observation, the
temperature went to 2s degrees below
zero at the weather bureau station in
Northfeld. This frosty descent came
closely after long period of cold
weather, starting with a snowstorm
last Saturday, followed by more than
ri hours Of high winds and then. sue
cessive days of snb-zero register. This
was the fourth day in succession that
the thermometer registered below zero,
and way below zero too
The temperature for the four days
was succession OF downward revis-
ions, starting In Monday with a read
ing that was not startling, continuing
with an official reading of 10 below at
Northfield Tuesday. II below Wednes-
day and, finally, % below this morn
ing.
Local followers Of the weather sta
tistics, whose thermometers have VA
ried but little from the official regis
ters at Nortbtield, were nonplussed to
hear that on Tuesday the official mark
at Nortbiield was only Ia below when
their own thermometers registered 23:
and more marked variation on Wcdnes-
day morning Heretofore there had been
scarcely degree or two difference. Ono
Barre man telephoned to Observer Will
Liam H. Tracy of the Z. s. weather bu-
reau at Northiield to see If some mis-
take had not been made at Mortified,
80 great was his reliance on his own
thermometers. one at his residence and
one at his stoneshed
Answer came from Observer Tracy
that there could scarcely be mistake
as the weather bureau has six ther
mometers and they conceded III the
verdict that on Tuesday it was lt be.
low and on Wednesday IL below. He
further explained that the difference
between the reliable thermometers i'm
Barre which formerly had kept in close
accord with the Mortified Instruments
was due TO the fact that the cold wave
had pockets and that even in places

Barre there might be marked yaria-

loubt. said Observer Tracy. the variance
lnring the present cold wase was due
io these pockets.
While the Official record at North
ield was Is below zero, the thermom-
tiers of the unofficial family went
lower in their markings.
The generally accepted verdict about
Barre was that the mercury went down
% 30 below zero, or about six degrees
older than it was on Wednesday, OF
curse. some thermometers went even
over. one at the Clark feed store tick
