SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS OAS' LAWYERS IN THOMAS CASE ARE PUTTING UP SOME STRONG ARGUMENT William Tell. Jury That "Dead Men Tell No Tale." Jury Hat Choice of Five Verdict, Ranging from First Degree Murder to Acquittal. 'CONCORD, Jan. 25. "Dead men tell no talc." This ii the motif for tho death of Arthur J. Allen, as outlined in the first argument by tho eoonsel for the State in tho caw charging O, O. Thouias wit tho murder of the- Concord master plu ber. The statement was made by H Williams, who spoke for three hours tlia morning, on the ninth day of the Thomas trial, as tho first attorney for the 8tae. John J. Parker spoke for four houVs this afternoon as the first speaker fo tho defense, and declared that the Stat lias proved no motive, even the one out lined by Mr. Williams. Both lawyer outlined the case, devot ing tho greater part of their time to the various witnesses each side introduced, nod bringing out various points in the case to substantiate their views. The picas of both men were eloquent; per sons who had previously heard both de clared tliey had never heard either speak more forcefully. .... , ii t t t ' A night session wan held, and John M. Oglesby spoke for the defense. He made! a masterful address, eoverinjr many l-oints in the ease niid condemning most bitterly wveral of the Htate a witne. Mr. Parker stated that the State had bbown no motive hy evidence, and ex pressed hi belief that Allen was killed when he was trying to nee who was fol lowing him and not because he was try ing to rob Thomas. Case An Important Oone. The case is n most important one, Mr. Parker stated, not because the life of a! character of the: ruan is at ntako. "The!

Newspa pers, and what they should publish, have long been a putrle to the lay man, but a class of budding journal ists at Columbia has reduced the ques tion to cold figures. One hundred embryo Horace Gree lys have passed on the question of wnat news really is, and the result is interesting. Four prefer to read scandal while 20 dislike it; 29 prefer politics and three find such news objectionable; 25 like news from foreign lands, while three don't; 14 are partial to the dramatic section of the newspa per and one would wish t deleted; sports are read by. 14 students; eco nomic news is a favorite by 8 to 2; finance takes the short end by a 4 to 13 vote; social news is read by four and scorned by 9. Thirty-six of the students said they chose what to read by what the headlines said. Twenty seven judges the news by the depart ment in which it appears. Thirteen future journalists believed newspaper? created public opinion; 21 that news papers followed public opinion; 13 that the papers both led and follow ed. Thirty per cent of the class were "casual" readers of advertis ing, with clothing and department store ads in the lead.
