the room In advance Of DEPUTY
Sheriff Tanner, all eyes we1s fount
upon him. He stood the t. ag or
deal well, looking neither to the rgh,
or left as he walked to a seat.
The prosecuting witness, the child
Mamie, was thel and looked euri
ously at the prisoner as he walked
past her. She was too young to rea
lize the enormity OF the crime which
had been committed against her
The child's mother and father were
both present, and while not a word
was said, looks could have killed
the county would have been saved
the expense OF Il trial. Becker kept
his face studiously turned away
from the father, mother and child
gazing absently out of the window

Mamie LaPolice, the prosecuting
Witness, was the last witness called
in the mo- ling. A great deal ol
interest was shown in her story
although she did not speak
English and her evidence had to he
interpreted by Mr. Goudett. The
defence objected to her testifying on
ground that she was under age and
for lack Of Intelligence, but was
over-ruled by the court. The child
told plain clear straightforward

truthfulness. The testimony was tc

l. crime on the decrease 1t would
seem that such is the case in Montana
10 Judge by this comment from the
Butte Inter Mountain:
1t is not generally known that crime
is on the decrease in Montana. but such
is the case, according to the reckoning
OF the Keepers Of the penitentiary. Tom
McIague. who has a better opportunity
to know than most anyone, saws the
number of criminals at the penitentlarv
is becoming gradually less year by year.
The beginning Of 1879 will find the num-
Der of %convicts reduced by about sixty
less thar last year, This is certainly some
thing for congratulation. The popula-
ton has Increased in the past few years.
and 1t vas IA natural supposition that
crime would increase in proportion. But
the fact is the people are growing bet
ter. or else the incentive to commit crime
is on the decline. One thing that an
pears to have brought that state of af-
FAIRS about more than any other is
probably the certainty Of punishment in
OF capture and conviction. Evil
doers have been promptly dealt with
found and this is no doubt tlis- |
r"uraging to the would-bc law breakers.
