Everyday Law Cases
Man Shoots at One Person But
Kills Another; Is This
Murder?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

John Shanks faced either a 10-year
| sentence or life Imprisonment. II he
were found guilty of manslaughter,
| the penalty would be 10-year SEN
tence; IL guilty Of murder. then life
| sentence.
The facts were admitted by both
sides. John Shanks and his neighbor,
| Tom Woods. had quarreled and a
| feud had sprung up between them.
The occasion had been the burning of
one Of Shanks' barns, and Shanks
nursed a suspicion that Woods had
| caused tho fire. The suspicion In
Shanks' mind grew to conviction, and
| he set out to seek revenge.
Meeting Woods on the road, Shanks
pulled out his gun and fired. It was
a poor shot, the bullet passing wide
| Of its mark, but as 1t sped on its way,
| it struck and killed farm hand work
| ing nearby.
| Shanks' attorney cited the estab-
| lished rule Of criminal law, that in
order to be guilty Of murder. one must
| have premeditated the killing and had
the intent to kill. In the present case,
! Shanks having had no intention to
| kill the farm hand, the homicide had
| been accidental, and therefore, argued
| the attorney, the crime was merely
manslaughter.
But the court instructed the jury
as follows:
Where a person deliberately and
with premediated malice attempt to
| kill one person, but by mistake or
| inadvertence kills another instead, the
| law transfers the intent from the
! object of his assault to the one killed.
and the homicide SO committed is
murder"

ensemble as are correct jewelry, gloves
and footwear. The woman of today
is not satisfied to be merely an ami
mated rack for pretty clothes, but
she makes herself into a living pic
ture in which every detail from eye
lashes to slippers is in perfect har-
mony. The color of her frocks must
fiatter her complexion and their lines
must make her figure more beautiful.
In at-grandmother's day only

from the pantry little cornstarch to
powder her face with, or some corn
meal for a facial pack. If she were
very bold she might secretly moisten
small piece of red paper to tint her
cheeks or rub a slice of he~t on her
pale skin for the same purpcse. For
tan and freckles she was, however,
permitted to bathe her face in butter
milk each night.

NOVEMBER Ii

the arrival of the glorious news that the guns we,1 %
etilled along the battle lines i'll France Nine Iull
bnsv wears thev have been for most OF us, NINE
vears in which the world has witnessed many
changes Nine years that have taught us all great
deal. ~, -
They have really taught us the truth OF the ter
yibe price that war demands from cvlllzatlon lhey
Rave taught us the deeper significance OF the con
flict we could not appraise during those exciting
laws of 1918 They have given many OF US different
roints of view as to the justice of rival claims back
of the great conflict.
But they have not by one iota dimmed the glor-
ous achie ments of our boys on the field of honor
abroad They have, on the contrary, impressed us
more deenly with the courage forttude and patrio'
sis1n of the men who responded to their countrys
call
For this reason we feel that November IL is one
of the important red letter days calendar 1t
IS not day for riotous pleasure, but rather for ser
ious contemplation 1t is time to devote ourselves
anew to the principles that fired our own troops on
TO victory-to the safety and welfare Of our great
country and to the need for national policy which
seeks all occasions to preserve peace with honor
It is further time to pay devout tribute to
those who paid the great price for the victory
whether resting in France or quietly willing away
she hours in American hospital. It is the day or
which we must do honor to the men Of our time who
made the supreme sacrifice for the rest of us.

as being heartily in favor Of high school athletics.
Whenever we see the members of the Mo-
gales High School football squad trottng out the
field for hard workout always feel like shouting
Go to it, boys. 1t is an important part Of your
education
And then we always pause and feel that the
work Of Coach Frank Holt and his squad should be
regarded as course in teamwork and loyalty
The boy who goes through hard seasons work
with the team squad learns that the work of. the
team is more important than the spectacular playing
Of individual stars he learns the value of co-opera
ton, he comes to suppress his desire for personal
honor for the good of the team whole He learns
that the group is more important than any in

He also earns the value of loyalty-learns it in
sort OF subconscous way for it takes loyalty to the
school and loyalty to the town to go out and work
hard day after day and then stand ready to fight to
The last bit Of energy for the honor of blue & red
And every older knows that this loyalty learned
N school may carry long way along the road
of success latter in life
There are other important lessons that Coach
Holt is indelibly impressng upon the minds of his
wards He is teaching them to become good sports
men, never to take unfair advantage of an opponent
to play the game according to the rules-in short to
