The opinion given by the Chief Iustice sufficiently states the facts necessary for the full understanding of the case: Ion GRAD was found guilty as charged in the indictment and sentenced to life at hard labor. His defense was the world owed him a living. The young man was reared in the nurture and admonition of a Christian home and had many advantages in his early youth. In 1921 he left home to go to a small town in Ohio to enter college in pursuit of a higher education. He never caught up. This Court will take judicial notice that the college is non- sectarian, is not a trade school Qfor if it were, the respondent would not be before us on this chargej and that the plan, there founded, of working five weeks and loafing the next 55
