be Made to suffer.
Thomas O'Brien was tried IN the
Superior court yesterday for committing
most abominabie and unnatural
crime upon the person of u boy named
Willie BATTERY. O'Brien is one Of five
tramps who are charged with selling
the boy near the d. G.. III. & NJ. junction
OH the evening OF July "a and taking
HIM into the enclosure under the rail
way water talk where the crime was
co united by each in turn. The cries
OF the boy were heard by people who
live short distance from the track and
the police were teiephoned for. Detect
ives Smith and barr went 10 the place
accompanied by Fred Weber. AS they
approached the tank two men dashed
out and ran up the railway track and
while Darr aud Webber were capturing
them, Joe Smith lighted a match and
went into the tank house. There he
found q tramp named James Common
with the boy IN tlagrante dclicto. The
trio OF tramps and boy We're brought to
headquarters and were after cxanina-
ton remanded to the county jail to
await trial in the Superior court. The
boy stated that there were five tramps
il the party but that two of them had
escaped before the officers arrived.
The three tramps are hard looking
specimens. Conner is a bulIet-hcaded
fellow with but one eye and a distoi ted
face. He pleaded guilty upon bis
arraignment. Edwards is but mere
boy in appearance, WITH weak mouth
huge nose and large, fiabby ears.
O'Brlen's face would convict HIM OF
almost any crime II physiognomy was
recognized as science by the courts.
He demanded a separate trial. The
defense was simply an attempt TO inn
peach the complaining witness. The
evidence went to show that the prison
oners had communicated with the boy
in jail and by various promises and
brides had induced him to state that
none OF the three arrested were guilty
of the crime. but only the two VINO had
escaped. Correspondence had been
carried on by writing on paper sacks
and three notes. written 10y the boy were
produced in evidence by the defense.
The boy admitted that such CORES
pondence had been carried on and that
under the promises and inducements
h ed out he had he'd 10 theJudge when
in conversation with INN on the day OF
the arraignment. He told his story on
the stand as he had told 1t TO the Off

Tense put James Cooper, just acquitted
of Jail breaking, on the stand for the

L,rsrnry Work.

As regards literature generally, IL
may be safely said that no work des-
tined 10 live was ever produced by
very young man or woman. The great
est poems Of Milton and Dryden, Of
Wordsworth aud Colcridge, of Tcnny-
son and Browning. wore produced whsn
they were past middle agc. The same
may DO said Of the novels of Scott,
Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and
Charles Reade; in fact, as regards fic-
ton, 1t may be safely said that while q
romance or a sentimental poem may be
produced by q man or . woman In
youth, no picture of life as it Is can be
drawn until experience aids aptitude
and literary labor has achieved style.
Therefore the ladies who fail as novel;
lists may find a consolation not to be de-
spised in rcfecting that they are alto
gether too young.
