Cadet William c. Bryant, Jr., of
Lewes, was among 224 Virginia
Military Institute first classmen
who graduated from the Institute
in exercises at Lexington, Va, on
June 10th.
Cadet Bryant graduated with a
bachelor of science degree in cleo
trical engineering. He had been
enrolled in the Artillery ROTC
and graduated with the Dis
tinguished Military Student rating.
During his cadetship he has been
a member of the American Insti-

The Delaware Supreme Court
has upheld the conviction of a
Lewes housewife given life i'm
prisonment in March of 1861 for
the poison death of her husband.
The courts ruling was on an
appeal filed in behalf of Mrs. Mar
garet Holden Fisher, SO, of Lewes,
convicted of second degree murder
| following the death of her husband
from cyanide poisoning May 26,
1860.
The appeal, filed by Mrs. Fish
er's attorney, James H. Hughes
/ III, asked the court to set aside
the conviction, thus insuring a new
trial, if the Supreme Court found
| the trial judge to be in error on
three points.
The first possible error pointed
out by the appellants was that
Judge William j. Storey permitted,
over objection, and subsequently
refused to strike testimony that
the victim had apparently h d
poison administered to him.
Hughes contended that the state
failed to prove that Mrs. Fisher
poison to her husband over this
period and therefore the testi-
! mony should not have been ad-
mitted
Secondly. the appeal asked if it
was not an error for the judge to
admit as evidence the fact that
certain books on poison were found
| in Mrs. Fishers home although the
state was unable to prove that Mrs.
Fisher had ever read them.
Thirdly, the appeal asked if lit
! was not an error for the judge to
| refuse to charge that drug addic-
tion. if proved in Mrs. Fishers
case, was a mental illness and
could be used in her defense.
In the Supreme Court opinion
written by Associate Justice Dan
iel F. Wolcott the first point of
the appeal was ruled immaterial
to the case at hand.
Secondly the opinion found no
i'prejudicial errors.
Lastly, the opinion said, the in
toxication caused by drugs could
not constitute a complete defense
of the charge, but, if proven, could
cause the crime to be reduced from
the first to second degree murder,
which eventually happened any
way.
Mrs. Fisher was charged wi t h
putting poison in asparagus soup
she served to her husband at their
Lewes home.
The victim, Ernest Fisher, 40
died in the Beebe Hospital from
the effects of the poisoning.

Equally important, graduates
of UNCF colleges are also pre-

The Baltimore County jail

The objection was raised by

The jail requires all prisoners
regardless of faith-to attend
a Catholic service in the morn
