MIR. BIRNEY APPEALS,
A Novel Move by the Government in
the Ainsworth Case


The action Of District Attorney Brney
yesterday, in filing an appeal from the de-
cision of Judge McComas in sustaining the
demurrer to the indictment recently return
ed against Col Fred C. Ainsworth was un-
expected and practically unheard Of 1t
has often been contended, however, that the
prosecution should have the right of appeal
in criminal cases, at least from rulings
Upon introductory orders. and Mr.. Birney
being one who holds such an opinion. hopes
by noting an appeal in the Ainsworth case
to obtain a ruling in the matter from the
Court of Appeals.
The decision of Judge McComas Is said
to have been a matter of considerable sur
prise to The District attorney, and a no
less disappointment, for 1t is understood
that 1t was believed in his Office that the
recently returned indictment would surely
be sustained.
The district attorney holds 1t Is said that
the opinion of the Court of Appeals in
quashing the first Indictment did not au-
thorize Judge McComas in going as far as
he did in sustaining the demurrer of Col.
Ainsworth to the second one. Mr. Birney is
understood to hold that the decision Of
Judge McComas imposes upon the pleader
duties never really intended by the Court
Of Appeals, and duties not authorized by
usage or by the authorities upon pleading
The question understood to be at issue in
the whole matter is that of responsibility
for the alleged criminal negligence which
resulted In death. That this line of respon-
sibility may be definitely fixed is said to be
one Of the reasons for Mr. Birney's desire
to get the case before the appellate court
again.
Clerk John r. Young of the District Su
preme Court stated to Star reporter TODAY

A Monkeys Strategy.

From the St. Louit Globe Democrat
While travelling through Europe several
years ago." said Benjamin F. Sutton of
Troy. N. Y, ct came across a man who
was exhibiting a performing monkey The
beast was as dextrous thief as could be
imagined, and his master told me that
every day he stole enough food for his sub
sistence. He told me to watch him for a
rev minutes. l did So and presently his
keeper led him to a spot close to where a
date seller was sitting on the ground with
his basket beside him. Here his master
put him through a number of tricks, and
although could see the monkey was cycling
the fruit he did not make any demon stra-
ton toward taking it. In the midst of one
of his feats he suddenly started up from
the ground. and uttering a cry of pain or
rage. fixed his eyes full on the face of the
date seller. Then, without moving the rest
of his body, he stole many dates as he
could hold In one of his hind hands, The
date seller. being thus stared out of coun-
tenance, and having his attention diverted
by this extraordinary movement knew
nothing of the theft until told Of 1t by a
bystander."

From the ~. Louis Globe Democrst.
1t In a curious bit OF literary exercise 20
take common saying and trace Il back to
its origin. Take the common saying for
instance. "All that glitters is not gold"
II is found in current literature everywhere.
and In a dozen different forms. Dryden rem
ders It, "All, as they say. that glitters In
not gold" Spenser says. Gold all is not
that doth golden seem" Lydgate has the
same idea in the words. "All is not gold
that outward sheweth bright" Chsucer ex-
presses IL in somewhat different phraseol-
ogy. Mid lieton has Il, "All IL not gold that
glisteneth," and Shakespeare says. "An that
glistens is not gold" Go little further
back. however, and the same expression Is
found In the monkish collection OF proverbs.
and there is no doubt II a classical scholar
were to set to work with the determin alton
to hunt the proverb down, no matter how
long II took. he would find IL in Latin.
Greek and most other ancient and dead
languages Ii is natural outgrowth OF
sarcasm as applied to fictitious show, and is
no doubt as old as the science Of metal
