Voluntary manslaughter is defined
as homicide Intentionally commit

denly arising from adequate cause but
neither justified nor excused by law.
It is distinguishable from murder
solely by the absence Of malice"
Mrs. Liiliendahrs counsel said that
tomorrow they would apply for a new
trial, based on information they had
obtained after the jury was given the
case Wednesday afternoon.
The nature of this evidence was not
disclosed when the jury returned its
verdict after celebrating for more
than % hours. On the strength Of the
assertion, Justice Campbell deferred
sentence until tomorrow.
The widow, who had stuck to her
story Of an attack by two negroes, was
on the verge of collapse when she was
led back to her cell. She had aston
fshed the spectators at the Today trial
by her almost constant smile.

changed to II to l until a compromise
verdict was reached,
one of the States star witnesses
was Sam Bark, circus lariat twirler

Local Associations.
With the framing of proposed leg

With the framing of proposed leg
islation authorizing free text books
and supplies for high school students,
leave of absence with pay for teach
ers and officials, and relief of the
individual members of the Board of
Education from personal liability in
boards legal acts. nearing compile
the board, Henry L. Gilligan, chair
man, said today that Endorsement of
these three major projects in the
committees program by civic organ
izations would constitute valuable
influence toward the ultimate sue
cess of the bills.
The bills, which the boards commit
tee is preparing. will be framed with
in a week, Mr.. Gilligan said. Follow
ing their completion, they will be pre-
sented to the District Commissioners,
then to the Bureau of the Budget for
it's approval and finally to the Dis
trict committees Of the Senate and
House.
Urges Citizen Endorsement.
"I can say for myself and for the
whole committee on legislation that
the Endorsement of these projects by
the various citizens associations,
parent-teacher organizations and kim
dred bodies will greatly enhance the
chances the bills might have for pas
sage in Congress-" Mr.. Gilligan as
serted. "In our work we must de-
pend upon the support of the citizens
as given by the sentiments they voice
through the medium of their several
organizations. Their expressions of
approval are powerful, and we shall
be glad to have their Endorsements on
these particular projects.
The committees legislation concern
ing free books and supplies calls for
congressional appropriation of funds
for the purchase of this material, as
are made at present for similar sup
plies used in the elementary schools.
If the measure Is adopted, free text
books and supplies would be provided
throughout the District school system
with the exception Of the normal
schools, which are yet unprovided for.
Want Responsibility Lifted.
Under the present laws, the in
dividual members of the Board of
Education may be held liable in court
actions brought as a result of the
legal action Of the board as a body.
Explaining the effect of the present
legislation, Mr.. Gilligan said that If
teacher who has been suspended with
out pay pending the outcome of a
case against him and is sub
acquitted Of the charges
brings suit for salary lost during the
period of suspension, the action would
be directed at the individual members
of the board, rather than at the board
as a unit. The District of Columbia
has paid all such suits brought in the
past, the committee chairman said,
and no, complaint is directed at the
local government. but the board is of
the opinion that its legal acts should
be treated as the acts of u govern
mental department.
A measure to grant leave of alb
sence with pay to teachers and school
officials was given first place on last
years legislative schedule, but it failed

made to have the proposal pass at

vember 80 in Maryland waters showed
a decrease of 1880 bushels under the
