THE MCLAUGHLIN CASE.
The Court refused a new trial in the
case of Com. vs John B. McLaughlin,
convicted of murder in the second de
gree. and his opinion is as follows:
"A careful consideration of the case
has not convinced us that the motion
for new trial should be granted.
"The testimony as to alleged declar
ations made by Porter, one of the jur
ors, long before the trial, is not very
satisfactory in character and was denied
by Porter. He testifies however, tbat
when brought in as a talesman and on
his voir diro examination he was in
quired of as to whether he had ever ex
pressed or formed an opinion as to the
defendant's gnilt. to which he respond
ed that he had; that when further in
quired of us to wbethei this would pre
vent. him from finding a verdict accord
ing to the evidence, he replied that it
would not. With this be was accepted
by the commonwealth and defendant.
' He denies, however, that he express
ed himself as testified to by the witness
for the defendant who was heard on the
mention for new trial.
"There was no evidence whatever, of
any bad behavior on his part during
the trial or consideration of the case,
neither is there anything in the verdict
itself to indicate that any element of
malice or prejudice entered into it.
"On the argument of the motion for
the new trial it was urged that the
court in instructing the jury, had stat
ed the law of self defense too strongly
against the defendant.
"As the instruction on this point,
however, consisted principally iu read
ing to the jury the rule ot law as stated
by the Supreme Court, this complaint
is against the law itself
"On the case as a whole we do not
think that the ends of justice require a
re-trial. The motion for a new trial is
therefore refused this 26th day of Feb
ruary, 1000."

renewed enthusiasm in Sabbath School

Cherry Juice
Cherry Juice will cure the moat stnb-

the throat, soothe sor»> throat, overcome
difficulty in breathing, and will
strengthen and clear the voice.
A dry, spasmodic, hacking or croupy
cough is quickly transformed into a
moist or loose cough, which yields more
readily to tho treatment, Wcause nature
IH assisted in throwing off the secretions
of mucus and phlegm.
Rexall Cherry Juice is very pleasant
to taste and is readily taken by children
who object to bad tasting cough medi
cines—and remember this, where yon

•The Great $5 Clothing Sale
is on again this month. But that will end it—no more
after this month. Garments for which we would ask
full price under norma! conditions.
No matter how little the price, its a high standard
that rules here—annoyingly so to those of our com
petitors who even attempt to match the values
presented.
This $5.00 Clothing Sale Is a
Mighty Strong Proposition.
$5.00 buys choice of several hundred rattling good
suits and overcoats that cannot be matched in any
other Butler store in season or out of season for less
than $lO to $12.50.
