NEARLY A DECADE
Particle Will Languish in Prison
The Real Estate Frauds.

Leonard Particle was yesterday sentenced
by Judge Wilkin to confinement in the peni-
tentiary at saltwater for the term of eight
years and five months. Sheriff Bean took
him over to the penitentiary last evening.
The sentenced man tried to control his feel
tngs, but could not prevent tears from fall
ing for time. After leaving the court room
he gave further evidence of his regrets for
the misfortune which deprives HIM OF the
best years of life. Judge Wllkln. III refusing
to grant the motion for a new trial. reviewed
the facts upon which he was convicted, and
before passing sentence he dwelt upon the
gravity of the offense Of forgery and the
peculiarly aggravating circumstances.
Public attention to the offenses of Particle
was attracted last May, when II became
known that there was systematic attempt
to practice q series of fraudulent real estate
deals among a class of property owners who
were not familiar with commercial papers.
Mortgages were prepared upon what pur-
ported TO be South Duluth town lots, but
which were In reality upon almost absolutely
worthless lots in O swamp twenty-eight miles
from Duluth These mortgages were traded
to people in st. Paul or elsewhere, for prop
erty ranging in value from S!,oOO 70 5000:
Leonard Particle. j. b. Tall, Gerhard Thaden,
e. A, Carlson and +. L. Draper. Partello,
Thayden and Tall have been severally tried
and found guilty. Draper jumped his bail
ana mas not since peen hearo OF. Carison
was not arrested owing to the fact that he
left the country. 1t is said that the. au-
thorlties have heard, within a few days,
that he has been arrested for forgery in the
old country. Thayden and Tall have ap.
pealed their cases to the supreme court.
Partello was convicted Of forging the name
of q man named Lindstad to mortgage for
ST. 500, and putting it off upon Peter C.
Christensen. Particle has not yet appealed
his case. There are number of indictments
against the several parties which have not
vet been tried.

1T Is GOOD Law.
Judge Kelly Sustains the lnsoi-
vent Act of 1889.

Judge Kelly has sustained the validity OF
the insolvent law of 1889. which is generally
regarded as an amendment to the General
Laws Of 1881. The validity Of the law was
attacked in the case OF John V. Farwen d
Co., of Chicago, against Oliver Baker, who
assigned his carpet store few months ago.
and Lucien Warner, the assignee. 1t was
claimed on behalf of Farwell 4 Co. that the
law of 1889 did not reclte the title OF the
law of 1881, aud that therefore it could not
be inferred by the court that the law OF 1881
was the law intended to be amended.
It was also urged that the act
of 1889 had not been signed
and properly filed by the governor. in
the manner and within the time prescribed
by law, and was therefore imperative. Far
well & Co. brought the action to subject
funds In the hands of Warner. the assignee,
to the payment of their claim against the
Oliver Baker Carpet company, and insisted
that the assignment was void because not
good as common law, nor under the acts OF
1881. before amended, and the amendment
of lSS9 was unconstitutional, Judge Kelly
holds that if the assignment is good az all u
must stand under the law OF 1889. de de-
cides this law to be valid. The proceeding
is dismissed as to Warner, the assignee. upon
the question that it was a law passed during
the last three days of the legislature. The
Judge says the legislature adjourned on
April %, 1889. The Dist was Sunday and
should not be considered as one of the three
last days of the session, because it was not
legislative day.

There are some people who will not
take an oath. In such cases the Mime
sofa law provides that whenever per-
son has religious scruples against TAX
ing an oath (of this class are Quakers),
the word ''Swear" may be omitted and
the word "affirm" used instead. also the
words so help me God" may be omitted
and the words under the pain and
penalties Of perjury" used instead. In
the case of infidels distinct form of ob-
legation is provided, which enjoins that
they do honestly and sincerely promise
and declare to give their testimony
under the pains and penalties OF per-
jury. All Of these forms are reasonable
safeguards against perjury, but it is a
cause of regret that officers do not give
more sOlemnity to the oath by making
it impressive.

ger God. Fifty cents, please" Such
irreverence to the Creator and to the
law itself is shocking to the casual OBJ.
server AS a rule clerks of court are
too careless in requiring witnesses to
take proper attitude before being
sworn. 1t has been a form to many
people. and is devoid of the ancient
solemnity when the prophet swOre by
the living God with eyes upturned and
both hands held heayenwards, or the
knight sWore upon the hilt of his sword,
his patron saint or an imaginary deity.
In most of the states the custom of
placing the hand Oh the Bible while the
oath was being repeated, and at the end
kissing the book has grown into disuse.
When this custom was in vogue there
was an opportunity to study the
character Of witnesses, as several
would be arranged in a Semi-circle,
part of them men and part women,
with hands clasping the Book, and when
the time came some would barely touch
their lips to the Bible, others would
give it a distinct smack that would
bring broad smile to the faces of other
witnesses. 1t is an universal custom in
the United States to require the witness
to hold up the right hand while taking
the oath.
Women as rule arc timid about be-
ing sworn, and show considerable en-
barTasSment when their names are
called and they are told to come up and
be sworn. Very often they will face
the attorney for the side summoning
them and expecting him to administer
the oath, and when told to face the
clerk, such persons will have so far lost
consciousness as to be oblivious to sur
rOundings. The hand that has been
but slightly elevated will be the first
thing to be noticed by such woman,
and she will probably discover that
there is something wrong with 1t, and

it will seek its mate In clasp at the

half through. Then when the clerk
interiects the remark "Hold up your

in many instances clutching fan or

the purpose of getting rio of the article.
The lady has become so obliviouS that
she doesn't know that she has been
sworn as the oath ended until brought
back to a realization of her surround
ings by request to take seat in the
witness box. When that kind of a
woman commences her testimony, she,
as rule, is in full possession of her
faculties, and is very apt to tell her
story in the strongest possible light for
the side calling her as witness. And
the cross-examination only puts her on
her mettle and she never weakens on
her story, but will even invent features
in support of her theory. And woe be
to the attorney that attempts to catch
or brow-beat her. Other women will
listen reverently to the oath, and when
1t is ended, will add such words as:
"God helping me, l will tell all l
know" Very often this class of women

when spoken with handraiSed to heaven
and with a well modulated, solemn

in the Solemnity or carelessness with
which it is administered, as well as by
the persons who are adiured to speak
