DIRECT PROOF OF GUILT. LACKING in many cases where CONVICTION WAS INEVITABLE. jtotable Instances in This Country Within I’ast Few Years—Mttfoar rictfes of Justice Abroad From the Same Cause—One Strange Case in Which Judicial Error Was t orrected. From the New York Press. It is scarcely too much to say that the mojority of persons who are accused of murder and against whom is nothing but circumstantial evidence are convicted. Call over the greet murder cases of the last 10 years which have occupied the public mind and pages of the newspapers in the United States for months—Carlyle Harris, Dr. Buchanan, Theodore Duiant. Mrs. May brick. Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Nack and Mar tin Thorn, Lizzie Borden, Harry Hayward, William Holmes, a’.l these cases were based on circumstantial evidence, and conviction ensued in all of them, ex tept two. Lizzie Borden and Mrs. Flem ing. who were acquitted. In the summer of 1592 a Jury in Waldron, Ark., found Abner Ray guilty of the mur der of John Potts. The convicted man rose to his feet to protest his innocence. Hi# limbs trembled, his lace flushed, and he fe.l forward dead of heart disease. A moment later John Potts entered the courtroom. In the essential detail of the case his tory simply repeats itself, for in 1841, at Gibraltar, a case strikingly similar o - curred. James Bax well, a rich merchant, lived in a small house near the base of Mount St. Michel. His daughter, Elezi-a, was of surpassing beauty and had many suitors. all of which she treated with in difference. But at church one day she saw’ gazing at her a handsome young stranger, Wiiliam Katt, an Englishman. It was love at first sight, and .soon Katt found mean®.-to l>e presented to the beautiful girl, and shortly asked of her father her hand in marriage. But he was opposed bitterly to the match. D<*a<l in tlie Blnek Cop. The lovers implored, hut in vain. Then the girl announced that she would marry him in spite of everything. The fattier was enraged, and was heard to say thnt he would kill ITbr rather than to permit her to marry A few days later cik> were heard coming from a cave back of Baxwell's house. After n little the moans died away. Then the daughter was mis.-ed and after a few days a search was made. In the cave were found a skirt and other articles of her clothing clotted with blood. Bits of hoir. to which blood adhered, were identified as from the head of Elezia. Bax well was arrested, convicted of the murder of his daughter and sentenced to death. As he was being led to the scaffold he saw Kltt In the crowd, and stepping over to him said: “My friend, in one minute I shall be in eternity. I wish to die in peace with all men. Give me your hand. 1 par don you for the terrible injury your evi dence has done me.” Bax well mounted the scaffold and the black cap was drawn over his face. Just as the trap was about to- be sprung a sharp cry was heard. “I am guilty. It is I alone.” The proceedings were stopped and Kntt explained excitedly that he had carried off Elezia with her consent to be his wife. At that very moment she was not lar away in a place of concealment. But his further deeds had been done without her knowledge. He had taken a lock of her hair and several articles of her dress, and had daubed them with iamb’s blood and put them in the cave and had made the •■ries that the neighbors had heard. While Kart was speaking Baxwell hud dropped unobserved into a chair and as soon as the officials had recovered their wits they took off the black cap from Baxwell’s head. But Baxwell was deed. Heroic, in deed, must have been the human frame that could have withstood such a strain. Ten Yearn in a Michigan Jail. Convicted on the charge of murdering his brother-in-law, John Crow’, in May, 1885. John Van Niraman served ten years in Jack-son prison. Michigan. In some out of-the way place in the world where Crow was wandering he came across a newspaper account of the trial of his brother-in-law. He came back and in 1834 got Van Nimman out. Two brothers traveled together to a sea port town in England. After dinner they got into a hot argument, at the end ot which they retired to a double-bedded room One of the brothers, seized with a violent fit of nose-bleeding, rose at 3 o’clock in the morning and wandered to a cliff. He was seized by smugglers, whom he unwittingly had detected in buying puncheons of spirits. They were too 4>mi able to murder him, and merely put him on board a vessel whieh was bound for the West Indies. Meanwhile his brother, who, after his port wfye and altercation,, had gone calmly to sleep, awoke in the morning to find his brother’s pillow cov ered with blood and his brother missing. He hastily rang the bell and summoned the landlord. But ail his prote.-tations of innocence were fruitless and he wag soon In the hands of the law. Stains''of blo.-xl were traced from the bedroom to the edge of a cliff, where marks of a scuffle were found. The brother was tried, convicted and hanged. Left for dead on the gallows, his life vfcas saved miraculously by a wan dering shepherd, who, attracted by a iow moan, cut down the hanging, choking man, resuscitated him and helped him to escape on board a vessel bound for the Barbados. The first man he met at Roe buck street, Bridgetown, was the brother for whose murder he had been wholly con victed and half hanged. Knife in Hand, Yet Innocent. Early in the century Jonathon Bradford kept an inn on the London road to Ox ford. One night a gentleman of fortune named Hayes stopped here and took sup per with two other wayfarers. Indiscreet ly he mentioned that he had a large sum of money. After letiring one of the two travelers was awaked by n groan in the room next to his. He woke his frb nd. To gether they made their way into the ad joining room, where they found Hayes weltering in his gore. Standing over the bed with a dark lantern in one hand nn 1 a knife In the other was the owner of the inn, Jonathon Bradfoid himself. In vain Bradford protested his inno cence. In vain ho urged that, having be n alarmed by the groans, he had seized n dark lantern and a knife, the only avail able weapon, and rushed into the room on y a moment before the guests had done ®o and for the Very same purpose. He had been discovered by the bedside with o weapon in h> hand. The portmanteau of the murdered man i y at his feet, op< ned ind ready to be rifled. It was shown that he must have overheard the state ment as to its contents. At the trial the Jury speedily brought in a verdict of guilty. The night before the execution he male • remarkable- confession. He admlsed that ho had gone to the room to do the deed which he hnd found already commit, ted. When his light fe.l on the scene his courage failed, and just then he found himself in the grasp of the two travelers. Eighteen months later Hayes’ valet made j a deathbed confc-slon. acknowledging ih.it he was the real murderer, that his object had been robbery, hut that before he could rifle the portmanteau he had been fright ened by approaching footstep. , an I had Just had time io escape to his own room before Bradford entered.

Present.y a popular young fe..ow, Harry Blake, got into a heated altercation with one Wick i lift', an ugly-looking, short, square-butit mail. From words the combatants came to blows, and were then separated. Wick !iff left, muttering curses and threats un der his breath. Shortly after B.ake left also. Two of his companions, riding shortly after along the rood, were startled oy : hearing a sudden cry for help. Whipping ! up their horses they turned round a copse of trees and came face to face with a fearful sight. Stretched on the road be l fore them lay a human form in a poo*, of | blood. And bending over him was a man j grouping the handle of a knife, whos • j blade was plunged- in the !x>som of his | victim. The dead man was Wickliff, the ! apparent murderer was Blake. Yet Blake | protested that he had arrived at the spot , only a moment before, that he hr. cl found I the corpse, and was merely drawing out | the knife. No one believed his story. Had he declared that he had - committed the murder in self-defense or in the heat of .’Ossion he might have got off with his life. The quarrel-•the th: its of the vi tim—all these were in his favor. But he aieniated public sympathy by protesting ; his innocence. lie was found guilty and | executed. A few months later a prisoner, under sentence of death for another crime, rou t'essed that it was he who had-murdered Wickliff. He gave a detailed account of how he had lain in wait for an enemy, had mistaken Wickliff for him, plunged a knife into- his breast before discovering his erior, and escaped at the sound of ap proaching footsteps. Justice Reversed Herself. Pauline Druaux lived on bad terms with her husband near Rouen, in what was known locally as the limekiln cottage, be cause a kiln was built up against us side by a neighboring land owner. In the house boarded a stone setter and witch doctor named Leborgne, with whom she was said by the neighbors to be on terms of undue intimacy. .One night, after an especial.y violent quarrel between husband and wife, he ordered her out of the house, but after wards relented. He was subject to head aches. and a day or two after this scene she said to the neighbors: “If I only had the luck that he should die!” Three days after the reconciliation, on Easter Sunday, 18S7, Druaux and his brother-in-law, young Delacroix, who boarded with the couple, were found dead, one on the cellar stairs and the other on the first llocr of the cottage. Pauline gave the first news, appearing at the window of the house apparently drunk. 11 was clear upon investigation that the deaths were pot natural, and experts, though sure that poison had been used, were not able to learn what kind ot' poison. Leborgne was arrested, on suspicion and scon release 1. Pauline was tried, convict ed, and sentenced to imprisonment for life. Meanwhile'and for several years thereaf ter the house in which the. dead bo lies were found was believed to be hoodooed, for the next tenant coming in on a year to day from the discovery of the tragedy found his wife lying dead before the cel lar door, in the exact spot where the body of Delacroix had been found. Beside her body was the corpse of her pet cat. Ncth ing could explain this tragedy, which was not called a mkrder, and what was 1 ft of the family moved out. The next ten ant suffered from dizziness, nausea and lits. So did the next one and the one af ter that. At the end of six years the town authorities decided that a little investiga tion of the house and its condition would not be amiss. They examined the chim ney of the lime kiln, and found that in it were big cracks through which fumes en tered the house. This explained the later accidents, even that of the dead woman and her ca:s, ad folks began to wonder what effect this discovery might have on the first of the series of tragedies. Paris experts were brought down to Rouen and the bodies of Druaux and Delacroix w* rA exhume 1. Then it was learned that they had lied of carbonic monoxide firm -he kiln. No other trace of poison could be found. All of the (races of poison which could be found in the bodies of Druaux and Delacroix six years before could be attributed, he said, to this kiln gas and to nothing else. And then it was found that two vials of blood, one from each of the bodies, which were taken by the Rouen officers and given to the Rouen experts, never had been exam ined. Thus did one set of experts flay the other set. The end of the matter was that the case had anew trial, at which Pauline not only was acquitted, but received an award of vS,OCO as damages. \ Sister’s Opinion of John Ilrown. From the Baltimore Sun.

There is no alignment and litile semblance of concerted ‘action. Yet the concerted action is there. Having been broadly instructed by their comm indants as to the general object and plan of the movement, the Boers start, moving rapid ly enough while at long range, yet cau tiously, too. To conceal himself beh’nd what, to the ordinary man, would seem ridiculously inadequate cover. Is on in stinct with the Beer, born cf the vc’dt and Us ways. Thus*, running in a crouch ing attitude, and keeping out of s : ght a® much as possible, the thin, widely scatter ed line moves forward until a i oint is reached within effective rifle-range of the enemy. Then the real a'tack begins, and the peculiar methods of the Boor b gin to operate. It will not be a movement of the whcle line, but only a small segment. A certain number of men in each commando amoun - ing to probably one-fourth, had been t Id off before the attack began, ;o hold cover when rushes were made, and concentrate their upon the enemy. These men lie securely sheltered, their ready rifles at shoulder and pointed, their watchful eyes scanning the positions cf the defenders. The signal is given, and the rush begins. Dp spring fifty or a hundred men, w! h rifles held loosely, at a “trail,” and dash forward at full speed, leaping over the ground like Zulu runners. A few scatt r tered shots give warning of the hotter fire to come. Prone on the eaith go t e charging Boers. Or—r—r—ash! comes the volley. Up again, and a wild ecuriy on for half a minu e ,before the second volley can come, then down again, each iron, undrr cover. Fifty yards have be n gain ed. To see a body of m°n spring up sud denly and dash toward them is calculated to flurry any troops. The Boers have counted upon. this, and for ii the reserved marksmen are prepared. Startled for a moment out of his presence of mird, or in his eagerness to get a fair shot. Tom my Adkins will expose himself. A h aJ, a shoulder, an arm or leg shows. Tne Mausers yelp in a stammering chorus, and a score of gentlemen in khaki gioye blindly about in the dirt and gravel. / RulilneN and Matrimony. From the Baltimore Sun. The Philadelphia Medical Journal says that Dr. G. T. Jackscfn has found on study of 300 cases of loss of hair that baldness prevails most with unmarried men—'which is contrary to the general be lief. The worries of the bachelor may be fewer, but they ere more trying to the scalp than are the multitudinous cases of rhe men of family. Most bald people arc found to lead indoor lives, and almost all of them belong to the intellectual class. Usually the loss of hair begins before the thirtieth year. In woman it usually con stitutes a general thinning; in men it affects the top of the head. Diseases that affect the general nutrition of the body are likely <o thin the hair. Heredity is factor. If one has bald-headed ancestors all the drugs of the pharmacopoeia will not bring out flowing locks. The learned doctor does not tell us why the front seat at the theater and baldness are so inti mately connected.
