her steel corset ribs saved her from serious

there is no evidence of any struggle having

also that the moving influence IN the case is
no, a higher Judicial authority than Judge
Wallace, for Judge Biatchford has written TO
Mr. Bright expressing his regret. When now
inquiry is made as to what power has been
sufficient to compel three judges Of high au-

none Of them approves, only one answer has
been given. and that is that the power is Mr.
