LOOKING GUILTT.--Nothing can lie moro alb
surd than the idea that looking guilty proves
guilt An honest man charged with crime is
much more likely 10 blush at the accusation
ihan the real offender, who is generally prepar-
ed for the event and has his face ready made
for The occasion The very thought of being
suspected of anything criminal will bring the
blood to an innocent mans check in nine cases
out of ten. The most guilty looking person
we ever saw was a man arrested for stealing a
horse-which turned out to be his own property.
