But the lawless classes themselves have
settled the dispute. From their shameful
experiences they have evolved the axiom
that ga man who has been in Jail once is
crazy if he ever does anything to warrant
a second arrest" This being the fact, we
must accord first place as moral lunatic

He is a person of education, and fifteen
years ago taught school at Akron, o. His
mental equipment was sufficient 80 insure
him a good livelihood while health and
strength continued. But he went wrong"
and instead of becoming college profess
sor, as might have been the case, gained
the title of the Burglar KBng." He was
driven from city TO city; he robbed many
people and suffered some punishment.
During an unusual breathing space he
committed his greatest crime-he induced
an innocent woman to become his wife.
AS women have done before, this one chung
to him after learning his true character,
bore him children and followed his des-
perate fortunes Loyalty, but with fear
that put wrinkles on her pretty face and
silvered her once sunny hair.
The other day Anderson was visited at
his isolated home on Price Hill, Cincin
natl suburb, by George Duncan, ''pal'
of fierce mood and many crimes. The two
lounged by the fire, smoking and discuss
ing recent tricks" successfully turned"
while Anderson's four little ones, who were
not allowed to go to school for fear they
might talk, played about the floor. In a
corner sat the wife nursing her latest in

A Minnesota jury Experiment.

An experiment in Jurisprudence is being
made in Minnesota which will be closely
watched and the results carefully noted.
By an amendment to the constitution five
sixths of jury are authorized to render a
verdict in all civil cases, and judged by the
laws Of common sense this is an eminently
just and sensible conclusion. The decision
of ten men ont of twelve is more apt TO be
honest and reasonable than the enforced
agreement which the twelve have reached
after being imprisoned behind guarded
doors for hours in order to drive or starve
them into unanimity.

in 1865. Since then he has stolen and

and securities to the value of $490, 900.
Maher has a less notorious record, prob
ably for the reason that he has been less
successful in evading justice, and has
spent most of his adult life in various
penitentiaries. Each of the men had good
