the cart, heard a would be wit in the crowd

Great excitement ensued and the party
designated was seized by the gendarmes
with no gentle hands. Out of the confusion
somebody managed 70 drag order and the
wit was placed on the scaffold beside his
accuser.
Such fearful case of abject terror as the
joker presented was never witnessed in that
somber locality. After enjoying his help

POISONED THREE PEOPLE.

The Terrible Crime OF a Girl Committed
Just for Fun
The New York Sun of August 10th pub
lished the following dispatch from Balti-
more: Mary MetzdoTf confessed this morn
ing to having poisoned Miss Louise Broad
waters, her little brother James and her
mother Catherine. She said she put ar
Senlc in the coffee, not with that intention,
but did it lust for fun" Though not
quite II years old she bears herself like a
hardened criminal. Miss Broadwaters died
almost Immediately after drinking the cof-
fee, and James, her siX-year-old brother,
expired last night. Mrs. Metzdorf, the
third victim, is still in critical condition.
She was slightly improved yesterday, but
the death of the boy caused a relapse. II
is now probable that she will die.
The Coroner's Jury this morning came
to the conclusion that the girl was guilty,
though according to MARYLAND law her con-
fession cannot be accepted as evidence, the
Court of Appeals having recently decided
that confession to a police officer by a
prisoner while confined is presumably OBJ
tanned by other than fair means, and is
therefore not valid. Aside from this. how
ever, the evidence against her is conclusive
and conviction almost certain.

The Common Sense of the Court.

One of the oldest and best practitioners at
the Erie County bar was arguing motion
at neighboring county seat and was de-
pending more upon his own sound logic
than upon authorities for success. At a
critical juncture the Judge interrupted the
speaker with this inquiry: Yes, under
stand, but where are your authorities upon
the subjectp' IF your honor please" re-
torted he briskly, Il will explain the
absence of authorities, with your permis-
sion, by telling little story: A young man
freshly admitted to practice had produced
In court in support Of a motion wealth Of
authorities. After allowing the young man
to read page upon page of dry decisions, the
Judge at length interrupted YEARLY, You
are Just beginning in practice, said he; let
me give you some advice. 1t does very well
to cite authorities once In while, but you
must always trust somewhat to the COM
mon sense Of the Court 1t was a bold,
almost audacious position to take, but it
won his case.
