A aji ge CIRCULATION AND NEWS John Horan of 2703 Barnett way, was found not guilty of second degree murder in Criminal Court before Judge Totter last Thursday. A jury delib erated one hour and returned the liberty giving verdict, and Hogan walked home a free man for the first time in many morns. Thus ended the sensational murder case which had at stake the paramount issue; whether a man can protect his home from the frenzy of an assassin and be justified in the Tittsburgh Courts. Hogan shot and killed John Juz ang, desperate character, as he was preparing to assault him in the doorway of his Barnett street home one evening last March. He was tried sevc.

weeks ago, found gvilty of manslaughter and sentenced to serve five years in the Western Fcnniten tiary. Many witnesses appeared and testified that Hogan had been threatened by Juzang. Hogan stated on the stand that the evening of the killing he had received a phone mes sage warning him that the dead man was coming to get him. But the jury did not seem disposed to grant the race man the right to protect his home. Shortly after the trial the sister of a witness for the defense, secured the information from her brother, that he had noticed Isaac Johnson lift fmm the body the man; a revolver.

Later it was revealed that Johnson had given this revolver to a relative, Elliot Sullivan, who had appeared a a witness fir the state but had failed to reveal the revolver incident. Attorney Vann immediately had Sullivan jailed on 1 a perjury charge ant with the new i tounu evtuence appealcl for a new tKw Ji'iiu. The State's attorney tried hard in the second trial to send Hogan up for a long penitentiary term, but the logic and eloquence of Attorney Vann was overwhelming. Pleading for the "ancient castle right" for men, regardless of color the distinguished attorney moved to sympathy the entire court room and won the verdict of freedom for his client.

Banks is charged with the murder of C. P.

Jones, railway station agent, whose widow, Ella Jones, admitted she had promised to pay Banks $150 if he would frceze out" her husband. Witnesses declared Banks was a frequent visitor to the Jones home, and Mrs. Jones declares he worked tor them and that when she confined to Banks how her husband mistreated her. Banks suggested the "freezing out." Mrs. Jones, who insisted on the witness stand she did not know Banks "meant to kill" Jones, is to be brought to trial Friday morning.

Her part in the case, is concerned with an alleged offer of ICO to Banks to "freeze out" Jones. The prosecution produced no eyewitness of the killing." Banks denied the alleged agreement to which Mrs. Jones testified and generally refuted testimony gf other witnesses, one of whom claimed to have traded bim a shotgun like the one found broken near the scene of the killing.

At any rate I am not a candidate for Carter's job. Grand Treasurer.

If Brother Carter was the only able man, or the only honest man or the only rich man in ths Order, there might be some exense for his holding office for life. But there are hundreds of men who are just as honest, just as rich, and just as capable of holding the office which he has held as he is.
