BACCALAUREATE SERMON
(By DR.. Samuel Quigiey)

The lesson for this occasion is found
in the nth chapter Of Matthew, from
the first to the seventeenth paragraphs
inclusive. Your attention is called
particularly to the assertion Of Jesus
that those who were following Him in
spirit are to be known as the light of
the world--the salt of the earth.
The. context eniightens US as to the
reason or excuse for such q designa-
ton. We are told just who are bless
ed or happy in the reliable sense Of the
word-the lowiy in spirit, not those
that feel independent of the disciplin-
ary necessity Of ideals originating
from other than their own whims and
personal satisfaction; they whom trou-
bic has cast down, but who have risen
above Il disciplined and chastened; the
meek, not those to whom the sense of
self-suffciency gives an absurd int0l-
erance; they that hunger and thurst
after righteousness; the merciful; the
pure in heart; the peacemakers; and
they that endure the Christening of
persecution for righteousness sake.
The words Of Jesus, as recorded in
their simplicity and purity here in the
gospel of Matthew, are the concrete
expression of the great philosophy,
that character is spiritual in its origin
and increase and has little to do with
those propensities that do not differ
entiate man from the brute. This
beautiful excerpt from the Sermon on
the Mount, epitomizes splendidly the
program that must be followed out to
the letter if civilization and democra-
cy are to come into their own and are
to endure. The spiritually At are the
preservers of all that men and God
hold good-the salt Of the earth; the

JURY DISACREES In
CASE AGAINST MORAN

A legal situation unique in the court
annals of Maricopa county wherein a
jury, after filing a verdict and being
excused, were sent back to reconsider
the case finally resulting in a hung
jury developed Friday night during
the superior court trial of P. j. Moran
on charge of leaving the scene of an
accident without reporting it to the
proper authorities.
The temporary tangle was caused
when jurors, after having been out for
four hours, announced at 10 o'clock
last night that they had reached
verdict. Superior Judge Fred C.
Struclmeyer, before whom the case
was tried, attorneys for the state and
and defense, Moran, the defendant,
and spectators gathered in the court
room.
The verdict, as read by George f.
Macdonald, clerk of the court, was
guilty" with recommendation by the
jury for suspended sentence. Judge
Struckmeyer announced that the
Recommendation was not part of
the verdict and could not be consid-
cred as such, but that cognizance of
the fact would be taken by the court.
]. r. Moore, who, with r. William
Kramer, represented the defendant,
then asked that the jury be polled to
ascertain their individual opinions.
Each juror was asked the following
question:
Eliminating the recommendation
for suspended sentence, is the find
ing guilty still your verdict?"
Eleven of the jurymen answered
eyes," but the twelfth man declared
that he would not agree to a verdict
of guilty that did not carry the
recommendation for a suspended
sentence.
Judge Struckmeyer then stated that
the jury would be excused until $50
o'clock this morning, but Immediately.
thereafter, and before the jury had
left the court room he ordered them
into the judges chambers in charge
of the bailiff, while the matter of the
verdict was discussed by the court
and opposing counsel. Arthur T. La
Prade, assistant county attorney, ar
gued that the verdict of guilty should
stand, due to the courts ruling that
the recommendation formed no part
of the verdict.
Judge Struckmeyer, however, fl
nally decided that the twelfth jurors
statement left the case II to / for
conviction and sent the jury back
for further deliberation. After one
hours further consideration, the jury
reported a hopeless deadlock and was
discharged by Judge Strucl1meyer.
Moran's trial opened Wednesday
morning and the taking of testimony
occupied two full court days. Clos

ing arguments were made to the jury
by opposed counsel at 5 o'clock Friday
afternoon and the case was given TO
the jury for consideration at 6. p. M.
Announcement that verdict had been
reached was made at 10 o'clock Fri
day night. Reversal of the decision
followed and jurors where sent back
at 1926 for further dehberation. The
iury's final report and subsequent dis
charge occurred an hour later. -
