Personally, will not remember
this Barrymore picture. The story
as adapted for screen purposes is
weak, not consistent. AS usual, be
your own judge. But I have my
own idea.
About the most enjoyable thing
in connection with the picture is
the musical score as played by the
Circle Orchestra under the direc-
ton of Edward Resener.
Bill includes a news reel and two
Vitaphone subjects.

over last year in spite Of an $4,000
barrel loss up to June !.
The volume of business in eastern
markets has increased about 100000

not feel are ever justified unless there
is a question Of the honesty Of the

marck OH the night of October 27.
The case went to the jury at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Deli
berations we're continued until after
II o'clock last night The jurors re-
tired shortly before midnight and
resumed their arguments early this
morning.
No word came from the jury
room as to the number of ballots
taken or their result but the opinion
was freely expressed in court circles
that a disagreement of the jury was
in prospect.
Trial Reaches Climax
Potter, thou shalt not kill"
John Sullivan's voice was pitched
to SonorOus crescendo. An accuS.
ing finger stabbed at Ray Potter.
The climax of a murder trial had
come in the Burleigh county district
court Thursday at 1852 p. m.
Sullivan, special assistant attorney
general, closed arguments Of counsel
with the biblical commandment and
the fate of Potter, charged with the
shotgun murder of his friend, Oliver
Webb. on October q rested in the
hands of the jury.
Judge j. A. Coffey, jamestown. in
a 80 minute charge to the jury said
there were five possible verdicts un-
der the North Dakota law.
Judge Defines Verdicts
You may find the defendant guilty
of murder in the first or second de-
gree. manslaughter in the first or
second degree, or not guilty." Coffey
said.
The punishment for first degree
murder is life Imprisonment: for Sec
ond degree murder a maximum or 80
years in prison; for first degree man.
slaughter a maximum Of Is years and
| for second degree manSlaughter a
maximum of five years.
1T was an accident" Webbs dy-
ing words to his father were charac-
terized by Sullivan as the greatest
demonstration of craftsmanship the
jury had ever seen or would see again.
webb could not have known If the
shooting was accidental" Sullivan de-
clared. He may have been trying to
protect Mrs. Potter by saying the
shooting was accidental"
Opening the final argument to the
jury. Sullivan asked that the case be
decided on the law and evidence. He
asserted that the evidence was ample
to warrant conviction.
Attacks Potter's Testimony
Attacking the testimony Of Potter
and his wife, he said stories wero
fabricated in certain particulars and
that the jury should disregard their
testimony for that reason.
Discussing the location Of Potter
and Webb when the latter was shot,
Sullivan stepped off what he consid-
cred a distance of q feet, the dis
tance alleged to have separated the
pair when the gun was discharged. AZ
