MAY OPPOSE FORCE WITH FORCE
Ruling of PhiladeIphia Judge on Self
Defense

Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-Wfthout leav-
ing their box the jurors, before whom
Francois Buchet, the colored cream
puff man" was tried in court of oyer
and terminer, where Judge Arnold pre-
sided yesterday, acquitted Bouchet of
manslaughter in causing the death of
Adam Wilson, a sailor. on July II last.
1t was as clear case of self-defense as
could have been presented Judge Ar
mold 50 characterized 1t in charging the
jury and in describing the really wide
latitude given to self-defenders under
the modern interpreta ton of laws bear
ing upon homicide.
BOuchet is the French colored man
who for two or three years past has
attracted attention by the immaculate
whiteness of his apparel as he walked
about the most prominent streets in the
central portion of the city, singing his
peculiar songs and selling his pastry
He was thus engaged on Walnut street
near Second. on July IL, when Wilson
and a sailor companion or two began
teasing him, pulling and soiling his
white coat, and finally throwing a hand
full of mud into his basket upon his
cream puffs and striking him on the
shoulder and scattering the mud all
over his neat white garments. 1t was
under such extreme aggravation that
Bouchet struck Wilson so that he slip
ped. fell and struck his head upon
Belgian block, sustaining Il fatal con-
cussion-
Judge Arnold IN charging the jury
said: The old rule that a man who
is assaulted by another must submit TO
the assault and retreat until he can re-
treat no further, or retreat to a wall as
IL is called, has been superseded by
more sensible rule, that a person who IS
q stacked may oppose force by force. and
advance in his own defense II he deems
It necessary Persons are no longer IN
der any obligation 10 submit 10 beat
ing when by defending themselves they
may avoid harm.
They may return blow for blow. and
Il il now agreed that retreat Is not
obligatory, This is wise and just In
the present case IL appears that the de-
PENDANT was assaulted by a drunken
sailor and in defending himself. the act
which WAS an assault and battery on
the part OF the sailor and a justffable
defense by the defendant, resulted in
the accidental death OF the sailor.
''As the Defendant was not engaged
in the commission OF crime he ought
not 10 be held for the result OF an &C
cident brought on by the deceased"

The latest fashionable fad is the con-

course. All conversation except that

jolly affair. At recent conversation

chosen for conversation were as fol-

HE SCORES JOHN p. ST. JOHN.
Republican Candidate in Iowa After tn
Prob bitionists.

Pottsvifle. Ia, Oct. 19.-General F. NJ.
Drake, James E. Blythe and r. II. Fair
burn addressed a large meeting mere
this afternoon. ". c. Mcneil acted as
chairman. General Drake appeared
in good condition, and spoke for nearly
an hour. His talk on state questions
was lucid and explicit. He charged
the Democrats with a persistent effort
TO make the liquor question the sole
issue Of Iowa politics. During the past
fifteen years, when the vote was taken
on the prohibitory amendment, Demo-
Gratis all voted for it, some from honest
convictions. many with the idea Of rails
ing contention in Republican ranks
ranks. General Drake. made a SPLEEN
hearted, level-headed business man.
James E. Blythe is known both east
and west as the Napoleon of Iowa poll
tics. Many of our citizens who had
known him simply as splendid organi-
ger and political manager were greatly
pleased TO find in him this afternoon a
convincing and accomplished orator.
Mr.. Blythe said that the change in
Iowa politics from Democratic ma
jority in 1891 to $4,000 Republican in
1892, when states all about us wavered
in the ranks, and the increase to 1000
for Frank d. Jackson in 1893, and the
splendid victory of 1894, when the last
congressman was wreSted from the De-
mocracy, was not due to the state COM
mittee, but to the splendid intelligence
of the people of Iowa, and their know
ledge that the Republican party was by
far the safest one TO trust. The most
important duty Of an American citizen
is to go to the polls and vote accord
ing to his best judgment, and 1t is fash
ionable just now for many to decry poll
tics. They consider themselves too good
to interest themselves In political af-
fairs. Politics is no better or no worse
than people make it, and If any man is
not satisfied with existing circumstan-
ces he should do his best to improve
them.
Speaking of the third party Prohibi-
tionists as allies of Democracy, he said
IL was disgrace that these two parties
had had Judge Babb and John P. ST.
John speak in Mason City on successive
nights during the Methodist conference
in vain attempt to influence the Me-
thodist clergy. 1t was an insult to the
intelligence and political honesty of
every Methodist in the state The Me-
thodist church is one of the strongest
powers for good in Iowa, and its mem
bers need no advice, either from Judge
Babb of Mount Pleasant or from ex-
Governor John p. st. John of Kansas.
