Whipped Until He Confessed

An odd law developed in the Criminal Court
yesterday. William Archer placed on trial
charged with stealing $40 from John w. Clarke
Both are colored, and Archer had voluntarily
admitted that to the grand jury that he had
taken the money. When Clarke was placed on
the stand and asked how he knew Archer had
taken his money, he said he logged him until he
acknowledged it. The remarkable evidence in
duced the judge TO call Archer to the stand, and
the accused said he did not take the money, but
whipped him with a black snake whip until he
had to say he had taken it in order to save his
mission of guilt, Clarke compelled him to go be-
fore the grand jury and say that he had COM
mtted the theft. There was no evidence to
show that Archer had taken the money, and
Judge Irwin discharged HIM with the remark
that he could not accept confession procured
by means of lash. Archer now threatens to
have Clarke arrested fer assault and battery.
