A Legal Opinion on Fleming

EDITORS HERALD: AS a number of
people are having their say on the
Fleming case, might as we'll have
mine. l am not acquainted with either
the complaining witness or the convict
ed defendant, and know nothing of the
evidence except as have read it in the
HERALD. Basing my present opinion
thereon as reasonably accurate if not
an official report, let me capitulate:
First. TIL e defendant was charged
with an attempt to rape, not the princi-
pal crime itself but merely an attempt
at its commission. The person of the
complaining witness was not, therefore.
outraged or injured in the slightest de-
gree.
Second. The crime charged necessa-
rily as we'll as legally implies a certain
degree of force used in its actual or at
tempted accomplishment. AS remem-
ber the testimony, there was no evil
dence whatever of any show of force of
any degree, kind or nature, on the part
of the defendant.
Third The young lady in question
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-11

made no outcry during the alleged at
tempted commission of the crime, nor
did she leave the house Immediately
thereafter, as injured innocence and
outraged virtue would have done. To
the contrary she cooked breakfast for
the defendant the next morning, and
continued to do his housework for sew
eral days thereafter, until she happened
to meet some of his enemies, when she
reluctantly told her story, and was
urged to swear out the warrant OF ar
rest.
Fourth and last. Her testimony was
utterly uncorroborated, even by the
slightest circumstantial evidence. 1t
was squarely contradicted by the de-
fendant, whose word, at least in law,
was as good as hers.
With this view of the facts, why did
not the jury give Mr.. Fleming the bene-
fit of that reasonable doubt which is, or
should be, accorded to every man, and
which, at least in this case, the prosecu-
ton failed to destroy, as was their duty.
Perhaps it was because of the old adage
that "when one pleads his own cause he
has fool Tor client"
As it is, the conviction was gross
outrage, when VleWeu lrOm SJduupo poiheo
of either law or justice, and will un-
doubtedly be reversed by the supreme
court.
AS to the moral aspects of the case, let
it first be established beyond reason
able doubt that Fleming is guilty, and
then moralists can speculate on such
crimes from their earliest commission in
biblical times down to the present, when
a conviction for such an offence might
be termed, to use some Latin bulls, not
only rari avis, but cause celebre.

Stock to Feed In Winter.

There is no longer the profit to
Eastern farmers of winter feeding of
fattening cattle that once was reason
ably certain. Coarse grain is dearer
in the East, while in the West it is
often scarcely worth the cost of haul
ing to market. The rates of transport
tation for fattened stock or for dressed
beet leave nothing to be made by the
Eastern feeder The possible eXcep-
ton to the general appropriateness of
stock-feeding in winter is in sheep,
either for dropping lambs TO be sold
for the early market, or good four
year-old wethers TO be fed a few
weeks and sold for the gain in flesh
and wool. There is money in both
these ways of dealing with sheep,
providing the manager has had expe-
rience in feeding. No kind of farm
stock requires more delicate care than
the sheep. There must be sufiiciency,
but never excess. A little too much
or too rich feeding will get the sheep
off its feed for several days after. In
experienced feeders should always
have roots of some kind. With these
more grain can be fed without danger
of injury. as the roots keep the bowels
loose and prevent the constipation
that in sheep, as in everything else, is
the frequent cause of indigestion.

runners and pride themselves on their
powers of endurance in that line. If
an Indian is so unfortunate as to ex-
cite the envy of rival runner is very
apt to get dose of poison. The
drugs given in such cases are equally
as mysterious in their effect as those
administered where death is to be
produced. Some of these drugs para
lyze the legs of the runners, but have
no other effect. Other drugs simply
stiffen the limbs.
The power exercised by the con-
iurers over their tribe is very great,
and they know that the missionaries
come 10 break it. When an Indian
feels an inspiration or inclination,
whatever it may be, to become con-
jurer he goes through a singular
course of training. He viii sit alone
for hours at night on the summit of
the cliffs, talking to the clouds and
listening to the sounds Of the winds.
During the daytime he is secreted in
cave. An air of mystery shrouds
his life and movements. He starves
himself almost to death. Months
after absenting himself from the
tribe he comes back. Then he is a
conjurer.

"Tillage is manure" and it is water
as well. 1t helps to develop plant
food in the soil. And in dry season,
the finer the soil is kept, if only two
inches of dry dust is on the surface,
the moisture below is prevented from
evaporation, and the fine soil absorbs
thrice as much dew every night as
the hard soil will do. A farmer,
known for his big crops of potatoes
and corn, put his cultivator to work
every Monday morning, and went
through his crops regularly once a
week. He grew usually 300 bushels
of potatoes and so bushels of corn,
and it was bad year when he had
less than this. The cultivation did it.

Until set upon his feet fina lily
by his appointment to the Liverpool
Consulate, Hawthorne had hard
time of it, as his writings brought him
but little cash. He was constantly
under the apprehension that he should
end his days in the workhousc. 1t
was in those days that he told a friend
of his that in one of his dark moods
his mother appeared to him, stroked
his hair, and told him not to despair,
"for he would have more money than
he knew what to do with" He dis
trusted the vision, thought it halluci-
nation, the result of his own morbid
feelings, but the visit was so frequent
ly repeated that at last he became a
firm believer in spiritualism, long be-
fore the advent of "modern spiritual
ISM" This story is told by corre-
spondent of the Boston Transcript.
The mothers prophecy was literally
fulfilled, for he was rich far beyond
his wants, when his term of Office ex-

our crops and Russla's Famine

The corn and wheat crops of the
West have been as abundant as could
be desired. Our four million farmers
more or less richly deserve their good
fortune. They have had singularly
bad luck for some time past. What
with drenching rains and parching
droughts, diversified with cyclones
and numerous forms of cattle disease,
they have had reason for complaint.
But it's long lane that has no turn
ing, and they have at last had a splen-
did year. Their fields have smiled
with plenty and nature has rewarded
them for the, long period of tribulation.
They will now be able to pay off the
mortgages which have encumbered
them, and to buy up new stock and to
patch up the broken fences and leaky
barns and perhaps lay aside q penny
for rainy weather. Prosperity has
beamed on them, and they have a
right to indulge in high glee.
Commissioner Rusk tells us that
his department has been measureably
successful in introducing Indian corn
and its products among Europeans.
Heretofore the poorer classes on the
other side have depended mainly on
wheat for their tables. Wheat made
into various kinds of food has been
the staple of the peasantry. 1t is the
Russian wheat crop which failed that
caused the famine from which both
the Muscovite and German have suf-
fCred. If they can be brought to
relish corn meal, part at least of the
danger from hunger will be averted
in the future. a double crop, wheat
and corn, IL not likely to fail at the
same time. At any rate there will
always be an abundant supply Of one
or the other on our side of the water.
Tn contrast with this abundance is
the picture of unalloyed and desperate
such vast proportions that the Car
abandons a proposed festival in St.
Petersburg. Even the Court becomes
grave and the rich are also contribu-
ting to furnish starvation with crust
of bread. If only half of what is told
is true, the spectacle is pitiable. and if
the whole of it is true, the condition
of these hungry folk is simply heart
rending. Starving men, we are told,
have formed themselves into bands,
and are raiding any section which
promises plunder. Where there is no
bread, the people are always in state
of anarchy. Law and order are de-
spised, and brain, heart and conscience
give way before the demands of the
stomach. Little holdings, so report
says, are taken for debt, and number
less families are thrown on the high
way. There is one story, just received,
of a wretched woman who applied for
help to a well-to-do neighbor, and,
when refused, she deliberately killed
her three children and then COM
pleted the tragedy by hanging herself.
These are the two pictures which
appeal to our imagination-it is hell
there and heaven here. Western
corn and wheat, however, are on their
way to our seaboard in enormous
quantities. Our surplus is quite
enough to supply the European mar
kets.- n. Y. World.

The Sugar rru., Litigation.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Another phase of the apparently never end ing litigation in which the Sugar Trust is concerned, Is occupying the attention of Judge Cullen in the Su- preme Court this morning, in the shape of motion to dissolve the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company, one of the corporations included in the trust. The motion is opposed by James A. Taylor, one of the original stockholders. When the Sugar Trust was formed he was per suaded to deliver his stock and bonds to the officers of the trust. He is now unable to get them back, and his counsel now claim that there were transactions which re- late to the disposal of three million dollars for three hundred thousand dollars in the stock of a foreign cor poration. 1t is claimed that the officers disposed of the stock them selves and sold it for small con sideration.

Th. Man Who went to Bed.


 A little story was related at the hayward the other q y which con. cerns Rear Admiral Thomas Q. Self ridge, retired, who isvisiting his son, Capt. Thomas O. Selfridge, com mandant of the navy yard. Some wears ago the admiral, who is the oldest living United States naval officer, being over ninety years Of age. was dining at Delmonico's, in New York, with a distinguished company, among whom were ex- President Grant, Garfield and Arthur aud Generals Sherman and Sheridan. At 10 o'clock, when the festivities were at their height, the old admiral arose from the table and called for his hat and coat. All were surprised at his action and asked for an ex- plantation. He replied tha, he never permitted enjoyment to interfere with his health, and that To o'clock was a good hour for him to retire. All present laughed heartily, chaffed him little and begged him to re- main. He could not, however, be coaxed to remain. After bidding them good night he added: Early 10 bed and sound sleep tend to long eyity, and I'm going to prove it to you all. All, except the admiral, who were present at the banquet that evening have passed away. The admiral has kept his word Boston Globe.
