MR.. CAUsEY VOTES NAY.
The Republicans all voted for the

The Populists took no part in the pro-
ceedings, none Of them be recorded.
The negative vote was cast by Messrs

Cooper (rex.), Covert, Cummings, Dunn,
Durborow, English IN. ~, Epes, Gold

liberty. The exceptions to the general
rule which excluded the testimony OF
the wife grew out Of the necessity of
the case for the wife's security, and does
not mean a general necessity, as where
no other witness can be had, but par
ticular necessity, as where, for instance,
tho wife would otherwise be exposed
without remedy to personal injury
Greenleqf 0iG EUidence, Sec 343.
The objection being sustained by the
court, the bail bond OF the accused,
which was given for his appearance at
the present term, was next offered In
evidence for the purpose of proving the
handwriting Of the accused by compar-
ing his signature to the bond with that
written OF the end of the letter.
Mr.. Cooper objected to this mode OF
proving handwriting, and produced sew
eral decisions which had been made in
the Federal courts when such evidence
had been ruled out. The court re-
GREETED that, under these decisions, it
was compelled to refuse tho admission
Of the evidence, but the question had
been SO uniformly decided in the mega
tive by the Federal courts that it could
not do otherwise. The common law
rule excluding such evidence had long
since been changed in the State of Della
ware and in the other States, and also
in England, by statute, but had re-
NAMED unaltered in the United states
courts to the present time. There
would seem to be no good reason why
this antiquated rule should not be abro'
gated by an act Of Congress, but until
that has been done, the rule will have
to be recognized and enforced.
The point was made by District At
torney Watson, that the bail bond being
| already in the case could be used by the
| Jury, either with or without tho aid of
| experts, as a standard of comparison,
by which to test the genuineness Of the
signature of the accused to the letter,
but this was also overruled by the court,
for the reason that the bail bond con-
stituted no part of the record in @ crimi-
nal case like the present one.
Writings already in the case and ad-
mitted to be, or treated as genuine, may
be used for the purpose of comparison
with the disputed writing, although all
other writings offered for the same pur.
pose are excluded, would at first appear
to be almost an incongruity, but the
reason undoubtedly is that where writ
ing is offered in evidence which is al
legged to be forgery, to allow evidence
of its genuineness by comparison witt
other writings not already in the case
would afford opportunity for additions
forgeries. The policy of the law is Il
prevent the commission of crime ant
therefore to afford the fewest possible
temptations to those who may be crimi
nally inclined.
