FIJI periods.
Midol is not a narcotic. It acts
only on the organs affected. Per-

complete comfort in five to seven
minutes! No matter how hard a
time you've always had, Midol will
dispel every particle of pain. 1t is
only common sense to use it, for it
does nothing to hinder the normal,

but makes it painless.

Smith Decision

Judge A. G. Finnev this morning
deserved decision on a morton made
iy Attorney Edgar p. Hervey for
new trial in the case Of Walter y.
Smith, former treasurer of the city
Of Imperial, until Friday morning eli
sext week. Deferring the decision
was made at the request of the de
Tense attorney in order that he
might file affidavits of the jurors in
the ease relative to what effect, if
any, the instructions given the Jury
by the court had upon the verdict
rturned. Smith was convicted on
charges of embezzlement in Judge
Kinney s court this week.
p The court had intirated that il
was about to deny the motion for a
new trial when the attorney for the
defendant asked that the case be
continued for the purpose of obtain
Tag the affidavits.
: The motion for a new trial in the
case was made yesterday afternoon
by Edgar b. Hervev, ATTORNEY for
the defendant, when Smith was
brought before Judge Finney for
sentence. While Hervey cited nine
grounds upon which the motion was
based, he centered his argument on
only two of them. These were
charges that the court had erred in
giving its instructions to the jury
and that it had erred further in not
sufficiently ordering the jury to dis
regard statements made by the dis
trict attorney, when he was charged
by the defense with being guilty of
misconduct.
e. District Attorney Head in ans
wering Hervey's charges declared
that the attorney had brOadened up
en- a tiny technicality in the instruc-
ton relative to the consideration of
the court of monies returned by the
defendant in a case. He charged
that the meaning had to be all but
misinterpreted to convey to the jury
. belief that the court could exer-
else leniency. Head also quoted
from law books as he argued against
the granting of the motion.
The judge carefully followed the
course of each argument and then
continued the case over until this
morning in order that he might give
more time to careful study of the
matter.
