fair trial and that technical errors
should not place the state to the ex
pense of a new trial.
1 Tho majority opinion of tho court,
written by Justice Sedgwick, holds
that the transferring of tho trial from
the court house to the theatre, where
more people could hear the evidence,
was prejudicial to tho rights of the
defendant. Another reason for re
versal was the act of the bailiff in
showing the Jury a miscellaneous lot
of bones, clothing and the like, some
of which had been placed in evidence
and some of which had not. After the
Judge had gone homo at night tho jury
told the bailiff that It wanted to sco
some of the exhibits. He threw open
tho door, called out that they were
in another room and iuvited ithe jurors
4 rt nnmr mill act them. The court dis
approved also of tho fact that tho
state s witnesses were uul oeiiuiuu.
and also be6ause a seven-year-old sis
ter of Roberts, who- the defendant said,
would have testified that his stepfath-
niinrins Plavton. was the real mur
derer, was not permitted by the court
tn Hv testimony. Roberts said the
little girl was present when Connott
and himself got into a light and that
while Connett had aim uown layiou
hit him over the head, intending only
to stun him, but really killing him.
Tho court thinks that if the trial had
been held in tho court room, whore
quiet prevailed and where there was
no excitement such as was In the the
atro, her testimony r.vould have been
available, because she would not havo
been frightened and lncohorent.
Chief Justice Morrlssey held thaj
tho man's guilt bad been fully proved
and that the verdict of ho Jury ought
not to bo set aside on technical errors
that do not affect the substantial rights

long dissenting opinion In which he
says that while tho strict enforcement
of tho technical rules might support
tho majority opinion, "there Is a grow
