What Smoking Inoos for Boys

A certain doctor, struck with the
large number Of boys under fifteen
years of age whom he observed smok-
ing, was led To- inquire into the effect
the habit had upon the general health.
He took for his purpose thirty eight
boys, aged from nine to fifteen. and
carefully examined them /; in twenty
seven of thcm lie discovered Injurious
traces of the habit. In twenty-five
there were vrriOus disorders of the
circulation and Indigestion, palpita-
tiOn of the heart, and more or less
marked taste for strong drink. In
twelve there were frequent bleeding Of
the nose, ten had disturbed sleep. and
Twelve had slight liberation of the
mucous membrane Of the mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from
the use Of tobacco for some days. The
doctor treated them all for weakness,
but with little effect until the sm0k-
ing was discontinued, when health
and strength was soon restored Now,
this is no "Old wife's tale" as thes
facts are given under authority of the
British Medical Journal.

Some months ago the HERALD con-
tanned a remarkable story of the con-
victiun of two men for murder upon
circumstantial evidence and the sub
seQuent discovery OF new evidence
that stayed the execution of the first
conviction. An impOrtan. discovery
Just made revives this story and shows
how unreliable the strongest circum-
sUantIsl evidence may be.
About one year ago Mr.. ROZier, q
weIl-tO-io merchant of Sparta, Ga,
was murdered while walking from his
store to his house. His body was dis
covered by the Town Marshall. Griggs,
aud two men named LOvett and
Barnes, who reported it to the family
of the deceased. The murdered man
had been struck with some heavy
blunt instrument that forced his skull
in without breakiugit. Suspicion fell
upon the Marshall and his colleagues.
and detective was sent for to work
the case up.
A STRONG ARRAY OF PROOF.
The circumstanlial evidence against
them was very strong. Their stories
did not fit escn other, and were prov
ed by the facts to have been false in
some particulars. For instance, they
claimed that they were in saloon
when the door was pushed open and
MIR. ROzier, bleeding and staggering,
showed himself and said that he hal
been murdered F.; that he then stag
gered back TO he place where he was
first attacked and tLeir died
The detective then showed that it
would have been impossible for the
wounded man to have walked that
distance without staining the ground
and the door with the blood which
was then pouring from him. The
friends of the accused then showed
two spots of blood on the edge of the
saloon, but the detective proved that
they were left by negro boy who had
cut his foot with piece of glass. In
recounting the articles found in Mr.
ROzier's pockets his son was Interrupt
ted by Griggs, who said, He also had
some tobacco there.n The boy denied
that his father carried tobacco
Griggs. who had not seen the pockets
emptied, incautiously insisted that he
did have tobacco Upon investigation
1T was found that. contrary to usual
custom, the deceased had started home
with piece of tobacco in his pocket.
The question then arose as to how
Grigge knew that Rozier had tobacco
in his pocket. With a hundred such
slight links as this was the chain of
circumstantial evidence forged, and
the unfortunate men were convicted
and condemned. A witness was also
introduced who swore that he wss
sleeping in the house opposite which
Rozier was murdered that he heard
the scUffiing, the heavy blovs and the
fall of the body. He then heard q
sound as of dragging it away, accom-
panied by groAns, and was about to
get up and go out, when he plainly
recognized Griggs' voice, and know
Ing that lie was the Marshall supposed

4 STRANGE CASE.

DISCOVERY OF NEW PROOF TENDING
TO SHOW THE INNOCENCE or THEE
MEN DOOMED TO DEATH ON CIRCUM
STANTIAL EVIDENCE.

fellow TO the lookup, ana nA went
back to bed. He was subsequently
awakened by the return of the scuf-
fiers, the repetition of groans and
curses and the general alarm. He was
an intelligent witness and was certain
that he had recognized Griggs' voice.
The case was very skilifully worked
up by Mr.. Monaghan (detective). and
1t seemed that there was no possible
escape for the doomed men. The case
was carried TO the Supreme Court and
the judgment Of the Court below was
affirmed.
ANOTHER THEORY OF THE CASE.
just here some startling develop
ments were made. Detective Murphy
received a letter from the wife of
Griggs, the condemned man, who pro-
tested in the most pitiable terms
against the conviction of her husband,
declaring that she knew him to be iu-
nocent. Touched by her letter, Mr..
Murphy determined to look into the
case, and went down to Sparta for that
purpose. He was speedily satisfied
that a good case had not been made
out against Griggs and his fellows,
and he went to work on another track.
He discovered that on the day of the
murder a numb of rOughs, then be-
longing to H0we's London Circus,
which was summering at Augusta, Ga,
had been In Sparta and had disappear
ed during the night. He became sat
istied from several small circumstances
that these men were connected in some
way with Rozier's murder. This sup
position explained what had hitherto
been xplicable-viZ., the nature
of the wound by which ROzier's
head had been crushed in without the
skin being broken. A sandbag used
about a circus tent was about the only
weapon that would do such work as
this, and this ugly weapon is frequent
ly used by circus faikirs, whose object
is usually to stunn man. that they
may rob him and get away. a blow
delivered too heavily would crush the
skull in. Murphy at once went to
wOlk on the circus, which was then
travelling through Canada. He soon
made out a case against two employees
of the circus, through the story of a
tent pitcher named Enright. This
man said that his two pals had gone
up the road on the day of the murder
and had returned the next day loaded
down with swag. They brought
pistol and watch, said Enright. which
he described so that they Tailed eX-
Sctly with the articles taken from BO-
zier's body when he was killed. At
Cleveland, Ohio, Muphy arrested En-
right and took him back to Georgia,
where he made his statement in a
clear and convincing manner. His
evidence was not sufficient, however,
to clear the condemned men, although
it effected stay in the proceedings -
Through the publication of Enris hts
cOnfe ssiOn the two circus men, then
near Washington. escaped arrest. The
two detectives, Monaghan and Muir
ply, have since been engaged in the
case, Monaghan insisting that Griggs
aud his comrades were the guilty
men, and Murphy missing that the
circus Iakers had done The bloody
work. The whole of Sparta ia divid-
ed on the question and the problem
was unsOlved, and APPARENTLY unsolva-
bic. when suddenly new developments
were made.

NEW EVIDENCE.

Neither detectives had been able to
set sight of the pistol and atCh stolen
from Mr.. BoZier's body after the muir
der. OF course the discovery of eth
er of these articles, if they could be
traced back, would settle the question
of guilt. Consequently descriptions
of them have been frequently sent
out and the most searching inquiry
made for them. At last the watch
turns up, and in way that certainly
seems to be settling" A negro
named Alfred Cook, living in Albany,
Ga, showed a watch 10 some one,
who was astOnished at his having
such fine one. Upon investigation
it was proved that he had bought the
watch from a couple of tramps who
were going through the country to-
ward Alabama. This purchase was
made few days after the date of the
Bozier murder. 1t was sent to Spar
ia and identified as the watch that
BoZier had worn at the time of his
murder. The description o f h e
tramps who sold Cook the watch tai
lies with the description Of the two
circus men who were accused of the
killing. Mr.. Murphy also proved
that the last heard of the circus men
after they left Augusta on their trip
after the murder was that they had
turned up in Mobile. They would
have had to pass through Albany in
making this trip.

feet of this new and unexpected testi-
mOny will be. as it has not yet been

and attached the hose to the hydrant
at the corner of Court and Main
streets. In five minutes two streams
at once were being thrown to dis
lance Of 125 feet from an inch and q
half nozzle. Inhcight the water was
thrown thirty feet at least above our
three story COURIER building. Ow-
ing to the fact that the banks of the
head race are made in part of fresh
earth, only five feet, or not quite one
half the head our water power
has was put on. 1t was thought
not best as yet to strain the
banks of the race with full
head. The pressure was seven
