Hypnotism is coming to be recognized as
a legal cause or condition in crime of late.
Recently its effect was considered to have
affected the testimony of witness SO ma
terially that the supreme court Of West
Virginia has granted writ of error and
reopened the case. Paris criminal courts
are now dealing with a case in which
hypnotlsm is the sole defense, and they
have before them the evidence of eminent
scientists to prove its potency. and also a
precedent established by a French court,
which held a culprit unaccountable for
grand larceny committed while under con-
troll of hypnotic influence. 1t is rather a
dangerous question for the laws to deal
with, because of its infinite scope and
subtle effects.

The Rs..arnant Question


The appointment OF commission wifi
full authority to settle the claim Of the
lessees Of the State road for betterment:
would be tantamount to al agreement tC
give the lessees about all they ask hi.
bsttermeut claim has been 50 fully discussed
IN the newspapers Of the state tina. the
people have pretty fair understanding Of
it. IU is safe TO say that the prevail z
sentiment is that the iessees ought 70 be
paid the difference between tae value OF
the rolling stock which they received from
the state when they took possession Of the
road. and the value of the rolling stock at
present on the road, OF If the new
lessees don't want the rolling stock at the
price put upon il, the present lessees should
be permitted 10 remove as much of it as
would leave the road in as good condition,
SO far as rolling stock is concerned, as it was
when they received it
But the people have made up their minds
that no improvements to the roadbed, side
tracks, bridges, etc, should be paid for. Il
was understood that the lessees were to keep
the road in good condition. and if it is in
better condition now than it vas when the
that much better off, The lessees were
forced, in order to do the business of the
road, to make the improvements for which
compensation is now asked. They got the
full beaeft of those improvements Their
business was increased, and, besides their
rent was much smaller than 1t ought to have
seen.
X the lessees thought they had any right
to compensation for betterments they would
have raised the question before they made
the improvements for which they now
want such large sum.
There is no doubt that the lessees have
made money out of the road. The fact that
the new lessees have agreed to pay a great
deal more than the present lessess are pay
ing is pretty conclusive evidence that the
present lssssss have found the road TO be a
very profitable one.
But whether they have made any money
or not Ii is quite clear from the terms of the
lease that they were to keep the road in good
condition and make such Improvements as
might be necessary. The claim for pay
ment for these improvements was an after
thought
The people Of the state will be greatly sur
prlsed if the legislature pursues any course
with respect to the claim Of the lessees than
that no improvements are to be pad for.
If the legislature should determine 10 ap-
point commission it ought to reserve TO
itself the right to confirm or reject the re-
port of the commission. The wiser course
would seem to be to offer to pay for the
rolling stock on the basis indicated aad let
the lessees pursue whatever course seems to
them to be best. There is not much danger
that they will take an aggressive course.

Capt O'Shea did not spend 800 nights at

to secure accurate Information in detail no
one seemed inclined 70 dispute that state
ment. Continuing, he declared: II have
never drank glass of wine with him, nor
has he ever paid farthing for anything |

the relative positions of the two men there's
nothing strange about that Beside, he had

Opponents of Gov.-slect Boyd, Of Ne
braska, are raising the point that he isn't
a naturalized citizen, and hence is ineligible
to office. They say he was born in Ireland
in 1884, and came over in 1S49, when his
70 Their went to GAINESVILLE o., and filed his
declaration to become citizen, but did not
finally qualify until November last. Sec
ton PIP, revised statutes of the United
States. provides that where the father is
naturalized his sons under 81 years of age
are naturaliZed. In this case the father
filed his declaration in 1S49, but did not take
out his final papers until 1890, which was
long after his son was of age. And it is said
that the son was never naturalized in Ne
braska. Should this prove true it will elect
Boyd's republican opponent. But it does
not seem credible that party would nomi-
nate and go to all the trouble and expense
Of electing him without knowing that he
was at least legally qualified to hold the

Pierson, after which date Records with
drew from the firm.
On this ground, and also because the
suit had been brought against George
Records, trading as Records g. Person.
when the rent agreement showed that
both mon had rented the premises to-
gether, Mr.. Lore asked for u non-suit,
claiming that the suit had been brought
in one way and proved in another.
The court decided to let the case go to
the jury.
The defence showed by the testimony
of Henry Q. 'ierson, a member of the
firm of Picrson IL Records, that Records
went out Of the firm on June 25th, 1888,
and that Mr.. Plunkett was so notified.
Also, that Mr. Plunkett subsequently
conducted negotiations with Pierson,
who traded as successor to the late firm,
allowed him to take his goods, to the
value of 5000, out of the store, and then
rented il the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, without any authority from
Records or consultation with him in
any way. Mr.. Pierson admitted, as sue
cessor to Pierson 81 Records, still owed
Mr.. Plunkett $40 for rent. Mr.. Records
also testified TO this state of affairs.
The case was submitted without ar
gument and the jury, after celebrating
nearly an hour, returned a verdict for
the defendant below, Records.
