A BRUTAL OFFICIAL.


How Assistant Land Commissioners Stock
slayer Treated a Soldiers Widow.
Washington Special.
Under date of Oct 9, last Assistant Commits
sioner of the General Land Office Stockslager
directed the cancellation of the final entries in
the case of soldiers widow in Dakota, under
the following circumstances: Her husband had
died and she entered upon section of land, to
which she was entitled by reason of his services.
She built small house, twelve feet square, had
thirty acres broken up, and later another por-
tion. She lived in this small house during the
severe winter of 1883 and part of that of 1884,
and raised $50 bushels of wheat one Jason. For
four months of year she was absent under
going surgical operation and treatment for an
abcess in the mouth, but in spite of all obstacles
she lived through the time required for comply
ing with the homestead law Stockslager
doubted the good faith of the claimant. He con-
cluded that woman could not have lived in such
house in severe a climate. He held that
four months absence in the winter season was
good reason for doubling that an actual residence
could have been maintained in such house by
a single woman. The fact that she once stated
she visiting relatives in Chicago is held to
discredit the statement that she was there for
medical treatment The matter is now before
the Senate committee, and Assistant Commits
soner Stockslager is likely to get a lesson in
land office matters that will surprise him If he is
able to understand it.

A FASTlDIOUS VAGRANT.
William Rothwell Voluntarily Spends Twen-
ty Years in Confinement.

DEDHAM, Mass, Dec. 22-Willam Rothwell,
a well-dressed man. who was sentenced to six
months in the House of Correction for vagrancy,
has queer history. Nearly twenty years of his
life have been voluntarily spent in prison. He
has always been sentenced, at his own request,
for three months, five months, or year at a
time. AS soon as his term expired, he would
hunt up an officer, ask him to complain of him
as vagrant, plead guilty, and be sentenced
again.
He is now ifty-eieht years old. He dresses
like bank cashier, and is extremely fastdious.
His relatives in England are respectable people,
and frequently send him small sums of money,
with which he enjoys himself when out of jail.
He often gets letters from a sister in England,
who is totally blind.
Rothwell has learned the tailor's trade, and
works hard at it when in durance. He is not
allowed to converse with other convicts, and in
every way is compelled to obey the strict prison
rules. He detests lock-ups because. he says,
they are so dirty and he will not apply there
for lodging when he is not under sentence.

NEW POINT In ILLINOIS LAW.
Does Disbelief in Scriptural Inspiration Dis
qualify Man as Witness?

CHICAGO, Dec 22-Yesterday new point Of
law under the Constitution of 1870, of the State
of Illinois, was raised in the trial Of the case OF
the State against Robert Hertel, charged with
fraud and conspiracy. 1t was claimed that he
had defrauded certain people out of So, 600. Mr.;
Eugene Prussipg was an essential Witness and
the prosecution would fail without his evidence
When he was called, defendants counsel, Mr..
Dkeman, interrogated him as to his compe-
teney.
Mr.. Dikeman--Do you believe in the inspira-
tion of the Holy Scriptures2
Mr. Pr,issing--No Sir.
Mr. Dikeman-Do you believe in the ever
living Godl
Mr. Prussing-No. sir.
Defendants counsel then claimed that under
she laws of Illinois defendant was not a compe
tent witness, and read the statute and several
rulings upon she question. The States attorney
and jndge were both taken by surprise, and the
question was held under advisement. To-day
Judge Shepard, in court said the question was
one of great Importance. and should receive
longer study If the position of the defense was
correct, large number Of people would be inca
pacitated as witnesses. He was inclined to be-
heve that the Constitution of 1870 stepped in to
aid this class of persons. He would decide that
Mr. Prussing was competent to testify. The
defense noted an exception, and the question
will go to the Supreme Court of Illinois.
