Medical testimony is to the ef-
feet that the woman is better built
naturally for bike work than the
man, but that it enlarges the hands
and the feet and gives very UNI
graceful carriage to the feminine
arm. Taking this for gospel it will
be in the future, Trilby versus the
bike pedal.

drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment

He also says that the

new evidence is material and II Is doubt
full how, in connection with other testi-
mony, il might affect the jury,a new trial
should be granted. And secondly that the
courts nave generally held that q new tri-
al should he granted IL the new evidence
would probably change the verdict ard
again that it Is sufficient in the case at
bar II the legitimate effect OF the new
evidence taken in connection with the
evidence adduced at q former trial won Id
probably create a reasonable doubt OF
The guilt OF the accused.
The brief closed with the state ment
that by reasonable diligence the new evil
dence could not be discovered before this
and that IL the testimony OF the new wit
ness Is true the defendant could not have
been convicted.
The brief flied by Attorney General
Dubois states that the evidence for the
State was circumstantisl the defence
was an aiibj, and the defendant did not
testify. 1t Is argued that cumulative
evidence newly discovered cannot avail
as a ground for a new trial unless In a
manner conclusive on the point which 1t
is offered and unless the court looking at
this see that upon the newly discovered
evidence the jury ought to find the issue
upon the disputed point for the defendant
The attorney general argues that a mo-
ton for a new trial on the ground Of new
evidence to prove an abb will not be
granted when II Is contradictory to Wit
nesses on the same size and that merely
cumulative testimony will not, where
there is conflict OF testimony, furnish
ground for a new trial. The new afida-
Wits are then discussed aud the claim
made that the affidavit of Damon r. Chan
mau Is not new evidence because IL shows
SIMPLY a failure to recoliect, and a want
OF recollection cannot be a ground for a
new trial for II mey be pretenced and Is
hard to disprove.
Finally the States law officer claims
that the presiding Judge did not err In
the admission OF testimony.

In Judge wilbur's court the trial OF
the suit OF Gorbam r.. Pomroy and others

testimony In behalf OF the city Yves con-

Before Judge Rogers and a jury there
was a partial trial OF the appeal from the
Sixth District Court In the case OF Samuel
Marks We. II. n. Hines. At the conclu-
zion ~ the testimony for the plaintiff
there was an argument between counsel
on both sides and then the defendant
submitted TO judgment for f57. so.
This was the only case tried before this
Judge TODAY.

1t is time for Connecticut, that
land of STEADY habits, to take a reef
in the sail of its denunciation of
the precocious outlawry and law
lessness of this section OF the vine
yard. There was never yet un-
earthed in this state a babe of
Beelzebub equal in genuine cussed-
ness to that New Bristol, Connecti-
cut, kid who, at the tender age of
nine years, robbed railway offices,
churches, stores, held up night
pedestrians and at the head of a
gang none of whom were more
than ten years spread terror
through the entire town. That Son
Of Sheol could give points to half
the Territory outlaws.

TOPEKA, Feb. "A hearing is
set for today before Judge Foster
in the suit of the United States
Government against 1000 settlers
on lands purchased from the Union
Pacific in Dickinson, Ellsworth and
Saline counties. The governments
contention is that, through tech
nical error, the grant Of the lands
to the railroad company was in
valid, so the land should revert to
the government, and be opened to
settlement under the homes cad
law. The lands include some Of
the richest farming country in the
state, being in the bottoms Of the
Kansas, Solomon and Smoky Hill
rivers. The region is thickly pop.
ulated and the farmers are among
the most prosperous in the state.

A CoWARDLY OUTRAGE.

A cow ARDL1 OUIhAUE
There are some crimes that are
committed against men that are, II
not eXcuseable, at least attended
with such circumstances as to nit
igate the condemnation that is
heaped upon their perpetrators. a
crime perpetrated upon ones equal,
or superiors, where the criminal
takes his equal chances, has at
least the redeeming quality OF
courage and fairness accompany
ing it, but crime against the
helpless, those who have no power
OF reply or retaliation, those who
are totally and actually, morally
and physically, prevented from de-
Tending themselves, such a crime
as this deserves the severost repre-
hension. 1t is as though a man
held his pistol to the head OF a
child or woman while he abused
them in every possible way. Such
a crime and worse, is now laid at
the door of those officials in Sa-
vannah. Georgia, who are response
BILE for the treatment Of the short
term convicts, put to work in
that city. Those offenders, all con-
victed of petty offences and sem
fenced to the chain-gang, have
been manned for life, put to hor-
rible tortures, four Of the twenty
one victims taken helpless to the
hospital and the other seventeen
confined to their hard board beds
in convict camp to wear off the
effects of the terrible treatment
that they have been exposed to by
the county authorities. 1t is a re-
cital that turns the blood cold with
horror and then returns it to the
boiling point with just indigna-
ton. These men were compelled
to labor without shoes or other
needed protection in the freezing
water, breaking out ice, compelled
to labor there till their limbs were
frozen and so disabled as to threat
en- life long disability. The grand
jury has taken the matter under
consideration and will attempt to
bring upon these cowardly inhu-
mans the penalty Of law and the
unmixed eXecration of all humane
people the world over. No greater
wrong could be inflicted by a state
than that Of wantonly and cruelty
abusing its power over the petty
breakers of law and showing the
state to be devoid Of any sense Of
justice or decency or human feel
ing. Which OF the two has COM
mitted the greater offence? The
poor devil who has stolen a few
dollars or been drunk and down,
or the state which has stolen from
him days of needed rest by SUBJ
jecting him to vulnerable torture,
that has manned him for life and
will turn him out upon the world
at the close of his ten days sem
tence a physical wreck incapacitat-
ed for earning his living? The &C
count sickens. There are no words
in which to characterize this mat
ter as it deserves. 1t cannot be
sufficiently or efficiently damned,
as it ought to be. The perpetra-
tors Of the outrage have earned
eternal infamy.

The cry OF "away with the COM
mission system Of government"
meets with a hearty response in
every mind that is not blinded by
interest, or so welded to the old

the revenues, turn all the revenues
over into the hands Of the state COL
lee tor for the treasury. This is the
true system.
