Crime Never Pays Trial Held For 1598 By Margaret Gaston Confiscating the property of a deceased veteran did not pay off for Jonas Bodenham, an En glishman tried in a special Chanc ery court session in Saunders hall Monday. . The Englishman was on trial for an offence committed 350 years ago and the decision reached by a jury of professors rn the University English depart ment was almost exactly the same as that handed down in the original trial in England in 1598. Indictment brought by Thomas Drake, merchant, charged Boden ham with confiscating $400,000 in money plus valuable property acquired by Drake's deceased brother Francis in sea voyage to foreign ports in service of his country. The case was argued by Mrs. James Godfrey as attorney for the plaintiff and Robert But- xOpera' Opens Two-Day Run This Evening Edwards, Smith Get Top Billing When Barbara Edwardsof Troy, and Irvine Noble Smith of Cort land, N. Y. make their first en trances at 8:30 tonight in the two-day run of "The Beggar's Opera" at Memorial hall, they will be performing two of the most . sought after roles . of the 18th and 19th centuries. Miss. Edwards is the newest actress to tread the boards as Polly Peachum, daughter of a theif -taker 'Frederick Young) and his "chosen" wife (Catherine Cov ington). The role of Polly was originally played by Lavinia Fen ton in London, 1728. Miss Edwards, already, well known for her lead role of Elea nor Dare in Paul Green's "Lost Colony" given yearly at Manteo, is also a well established singer. She has sung leading roles in nearly all of the Gilbert and Sul livan operas, "Cavellier Rusti cana," "The Marriage of Figaro;" and has acted in such plays as "Dark of the Moon," Family Al bum," Ah Enemy of the People," and "Egypt Lan.'" Smith, at one time director, of the Cortland Community Play ers, Cortland, N. Y., plays the. famous role of Macheath, origi nally played by Thomas Walker. He has appeared in lead roles for two season in the Lost Colony, first as Governor White and then as Sir Walter Raleigh. On cam pus he was stage manager for "Peer Gynt" and for "The Bar tered Bride." Catherine Covington and Fred erick Young are cast in the com edy roles of Mr. and Mrs. Peach um. John Brinegar is playing Filch; and the role of the jailor and his daughter Lucy are being played by John Shearin and Lee Noll. With a cast of well over 50 and a complete orchestra under the direction of Dr. Jan Schinhan and David Samples, the produc tion will play at 8:30 tonight and tomorrow night only, the first pro duction of the Beggar's Opera to play in Chapel Hill.

Mrs. Godfrey contended Boden ham had received $400,000 in money, 21 chests, Various barrels and hampers from Francis Drake and refused to turn the goods over to Thomas Drake after the death of his brother. Butman declared that his client had already turned the property to Thomas Drake and that all the goods had been accounted for. A jury composed of C. P. Lyons, Lyman Cotten, If. K. Russell, A. P. Hudson, and William Wells, all of the English department, returned a verdict of guilty, and Lord Chancellor R. ,B. House, sitting as judge, ordered a spec ial committee to investigate the amount of goods confiscated by Bodenham and directed that the defendant return all the goods.

(See PHI, page 4) - Crime ed in the original trial. Following the trial English professor Richmond P. Bond, per forming as court bailiff, read the original decision to the partici pants in the mock trial. The doc ument very nearly coincided with the written decision of the local jury. Charles Sisson, visiting pro fessor from the University col lege, London, originated the idea of the mock trial and served as director. The trial was carried through on the basis of the original document from the Pub lic Record office, London. Purpose of the mode proceed ings was to show how documents in Chancery throw light on his torical figures, Bond explained. The Francis Drake referred to in the trial was Sir Francis Drake, the English seadog who defeated the Spanish armada. Fos Leaves race. At legislature The honor, a degree of bache lor of education and music was awarded to Chancellor House "because he has successfully chancelled the University ... by and with the consent of the Daily J Tar HeeL" ! The award was made at a din ner party at the Terrace View supper club on Saturday, at which Chancellor and Mrs. House were honored guests. Larry T.

Horton threw his support to Al Lowenstein, who was nominated unanimously by the Student party for the post yesterday. "As a member of the Student legislature and as Student party floor leader," Horton charged, "I have seen poor legislation rail roaded through; I have seen legis lators making deals to gain per sonal prestige; I have seen deals made to keep people in the legis lature who had no interest in that body and the same people make deals to oust people who had le gitimate excuses for absence." Horton was apparently com menting on procedure of the Rules committee of the legisla ture in evaluating 4 absence ex cuses of legislators. ! The former candidate contin ued, "I have seen members of the executive branch bulldoze the legislature into passing certain legislation, and a short time later changing their minds and revers ing things, thereby making a plaything of the legislature and turning it to their own uses." Horton said he was convinced of the need for sweeping changes in the legislative set-up which would require more time and ef fort than he could give. "The consolation, however," Horton said,' "lies in knowing that Al Lowenstein, who will replace me on the Student party tick et, is a man of outstanding capa bilities and one who has an out standing desire to return the Student legislature and student government to their rightful place-of efficiency and esteem on the campus. "I will vigorously support Al in this campaign," Horton con cluded, "because I am certain that if he is so privileged as to be elected to the office of vice-president, he will preside fairly and honestly over the legislature and conscientiously exert all his vast knowledge of student government to the best advantage in bringing about the much-needed changes and improvements in that body All 3 o'clock classes.

At the present time, Lowen stein is a member of the Elec tions committee of the legisla ture. He is serving his second term as a member of the as sembly. He served as a member of the Student council last year, and was a member of the special commit tee set up several years ago to set. up the present block fee structure from which student government obtains its operating funds. Lowenstein is opposing Ted Leonard and Banks Talley for the vice-president's job, the pri mary function of which is to sit as speaker of the legislature. Leonard is running on the Uni versity party ticket and Talley on the Campus party ticket. An associate editor of the Daily Tar Heel, Lowenstein has been a University delegate to the State Student legislature three times, once serving as chairman of the UNC delegation. He has been the University delegate to the Na tional Students association con vention in Madison, Wise, and has been the Student party floor leader in the local legislature. He has also been a member of the Men's Glee club, and the Hillel representative to the Coun cil for Religion in Life. Accepting the nomination yes terday, Lowenstein said, "I have always tried to do right and play square with ail persons, in stu dent government as elsewhere. If I win, I will try to translate these ideals into the vice-presidency and prove them 'practical.' Some people say they sound good but won't work. I will work to make them work. "I will try to make student government more inviting to the non - politicians who constitute most of the campus and now have little contact or want little con tact with their government. I tried in the constitution com mittee to safeguard the rights of all students permanently through the document and I have tried in my personal activities to respect these rights." Lowenstein concluded, "Both the people I am running against are fine persons and I respect them. I am very sorry that Harry Horton, who would have made a wonderful vice-president, has seen fit to withdraw. I hope I can live up to some of the kind things he has said about me, if I should be elected." The SP candidate has belonged to the Young Republicans club and the World Federalists, the latter in which he served as vice- chairman.
