D. M. McIntyre appearad for the defendant and John L. crown. Mr. Mcintyre, for the prisoner, elect- ed to be tried by the judge, pleading "mot guilty." The depositions taken at the preliminary trial were renewed. This evide has hefore appeared in the paper, The evidence of William Dixon, .John Geoghegan, Michael Black, Garnet Aylesworth and Albert Funoell was read by Mr. Whiting. Mr. Whiting pointed out that the charge was laid under certain sections in the eriminal code, which dealt with anyone who pointed any gun or air rifle, whether loaded or unloaded, or that did negligently cause grievous bodily bamm to another, was guilty of indictable offense. There was no doubt that the gun was pointed in Reilly's direction or it, would not have hit him. Mr. Whiting also pointed amt that the parents should not allow children to have guns. His honor agreed with Mr. Whiting, saying that the parents should be prosecuted. Mr. Melntyre pointed out that al though the occurrence took place, he did not think it was intentional. He stated that there were no criminal ten- dencics in the prisoner. The occur- rence was not the beginning of a life of crime. Mr. Melntyre spoke of the lads youth, and former good charac: ter. He reviewed the facts of the case. He brought out the fact that only one boy said that the word duel was used by the prisoner, and also dwelt on the sev- eral meanings that could be taken out of the wordy, "I will give you shot for shot." Counsel submitted that if the prisoner was convicted, he did not see that either euds could be reached one, his being a danger to society, and the other, the reformation of the prisoner. "I do not think that soci- ety is in any danger from this boy," said Mr. Melntyre, In addressing the prisoner, his honor said : "I ean only come to one ocon- clusion from the evidence, and that is that you did a very improper thing, and this sort of thing must be stop- ped. Boys who are not accustomed to the use of firearms should not have (hiting for the "You did," continued his honor, "do to that boy what the law says you must not do--you pointed a gun at him. I have to say that you are guilty and the penalty mustébe con- sidered. do not want to be severe with you. 1 sympathize with you, and realize that you feel as bad as any of the others concerned.
