A ,Q .D, 52 .' .ffrbx 4 i:?353i X Law School Mock Trial On New Yearis Day, the Y NI C A Night Law School gave as a part of a pro- gram of Open Housew a lVIock Trial. The purpose of this trial was to show a correct and dignified manner in which a trial should be conducted. Incidentally, it gave an illustration of what can be expected of the graduates of the Law School. The trial was of one, George Shives, charged with the murder of a fellow convict on the night on which the victim was to pay the death penalty for the murder of his own mother. The defendant was to have finished his term the following day. The state, represented by Sol. Goodman and Ernest Krusling, sought the supreme penalty. Gordon Scherer and Albert Keeler, counsel for the defense, pleaded temporary insanity, caused by the defendant being deprived of drugs to which he was addicted. Phil. Posner, James Unger, and Orian hIcElfresh were called by the bailiff, Carl Frederick, as witnesses for the prosecution. Stuart lNIcLean, VVilliam Selva, and George Shives, the defendant, offered testimony on behalf of the defense. After testimony and cross-examination of the witnesses, and splendid closing arguments by both sides, Judge Edward T. Dixon, formerly of the Common Pleas Court and now a member of the faculty, explained that since his charge to the jury would consume too much time he would assume the jury fully in- structed. The jury composed of members of the faculty and representative lawyers, returned after a few minutes of deliberation and requested instruction on the insanity law of Ohio. After another brief period of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the grounds of temporary insanity. Conrad hlagrish, clerk of courts, read the verdict. The jury was composed of Lester A. Jaffe, John C. Dempsey, Clyde BI. Abbott, Harry Feldman, Judge Frederick L. Hoffman, Ivlorris Nogen, F. B. lVIcConaughty, Robert DI. Hair, James L. lVIagrish, Arthur Downey, Wim. J. Vance. and Roy C. Harris, who acted as foreman. lNIiss Alice Irene Fehl acted as court stenographer. ELXVYN C. Ho1f'1fir.xN. 79
