Wives Who Suffer.
Mr. N. c. Hayser, one Of the deputy clerks
of the Police Court whose duty brings to
his attention all sorts Of assaults, is heartily
in favor Of the whipping post.
. II am in favor of the introduction of the
whipping post for the punishment of wife
heaters, and, III fact, all woman-beaters, :"
he said to a Star reporter, s'but do not
think that petty thieves should receive that
punishment, because oftentimes women and
children, as well as men, are driven to steal
ing by their necessities.
My long experience in the Police Court
has taught me that the poor wife, as rule
appears only as last resort to the law for
the punishment of the brute who violates
his marriage vows, for the reason that the
penalty pf~the law is really visited upon
her and her oftentimes hungry children,
rather than upon her. scoundrelly husband
by removing her only means of support
Often, when fine is imposed, the wife will
take her own hard-earned savings to help
her husband from goiffg to prison, and there

imposed at 4somes place, removed from the

Washington Chosen for 1898.
Both the house of deputies and the house
of bishops agreed on Washington as the
place for holding the next convention, and
one fight of the convention is settled. The
house of deputies yesterday afternoon re-
versed some of its former actions when it
got down to voting by d!oceses. A majority
of the individuals in the convention did not
necessarily rule then, and the laity had
more show than during the previous deba les
The voting was against the comforting with
the bishops on the first six sections of ar
ticle 1.
The first two were concurred in. except
that the word synod" was changed to con
vention," in Designating the triennial meet
ing.
The fight came on the third section, which
contained the term "primate." This section
was changed by eliminating the objection
able clause. The vote on the question of a
''primate' was as follows:
Clerical delegations-Ayes, 81; nays, 16;
divided, g. Lay delegates-Ayes. 20; nays,
81, divided, @.
The vote to concur failed, because the
laity and clergy did not concur, a major
ity of each being required
Considerable time was spent in discussing
the question Of allowing representatives Of
churches in foreign countries vote in the
convention. 1t was decided after long
argument, that they should not have the
right. but the section was not finally
adopted.
The house of bishops decided to elect an
other bishop to Japan, to be known as the
bishop of Toxic. The election will occur
next week. The bishops have finished their
discussion of the revised constitution. They
laid the declaration on the table.
Last evening the board of missions held
another large meeting to consider the
Alaskan question, and by a vote of 161 to 81
decided to ask the house of bishops to elect
a bishop of Alaska. The debate was not as
sultry as Thursday night, but there We're
some spicy speeches. Bishop Nicely made
another fight against Alaska, but he apollo
giZed for many of the things he had said
about Missionary Chapman.
Many of the prominent bishops Of the
church took part in the debate, and it was
not until a late hour that the matter was &C.
cided.

DURRANT LEAVES THE STAND.
Has Suffered the Ordeal of CrOss-Ex-

animation.
After a three days ordeal Theodore Dur
rant, accused of the murder OF Blanche
Lamont in San Francisco, left the witness
stand yesterday. District Attorney Barnes
tried to draw from the defendant rdmis-
sicns that he was well acquainted with the
use of bromo settler, as used in medicine.
Drrrant's replies indicated that he had de-
voted the night to a study of the COM
pound, as he replied that he had conversed
with Dr. West about 1t in the jail. He was
able to give It's analysis and detailed its
pathological effect.
For the first time during the trial Dur
rant pleaded ignorance. In reply to ques-
ton by Mr.. Barnes he said ne did not
know what an alibi was until after his
trial begag.
While testifying the prisoner became bad
ly confused at times. and when questioned
regarding his experience at Cooper Medical
College became SO mixed in his dates that
his pocket to set himself right. He became
noticeably confused and rather testy in his
replies when examined in regard to the in
terview that he had with Gilbert +. Gra-
ham, a fellow student, at the city prison,
when. the prosecution claims, Durrant ask
ed Graham to furnish him with a copy of
the notes OF DR.. Cheney's lecture, remark
irg:
IF had those notes I would be able to
prove an alibi."
Several specimens of Durrant's hand
writing were introduced in evidence for the
purpose of comparing them with the writ
ing on the wrapper in which the rings of
Blanche Lamont were mailed to her aunt
Mrs. Noble. The district attorney closed
his cross-examination of the witness by
trying to show that when he was at the
ferries, ostensibly to search for Blanche
Lamont, he was in reality looking for Min
ME Williams, who came over from Oakland
that afternoon, and was found murdered in
the church the next day. The defense
fought vigorously against the admission Of
ANYTHING bearing on the case of Minnie
Williams, and after long argument Judge
Murphy sustained the objections

taken for Durrant by Pawnbroker Open

examination. Little progress had been

greatly benefited, and declares that he is
fully recuperated and in splendid physical

Hayward Planned to Escape.

The county authorities have admitted at
Minneapolis that they had discovered a
plet to effect the escape Of Harry Hayward,
the condemned murderer of Catherine Cling,
from the county Jail. Duplicate keys had
been made in some way, which fitted his cell
door and the outer door. These keys have
been found by one of the slerff's deputies,
and when tried, fitted the locks perfectly.
The sheriff had kept the matter quiet and
laid his plans to capture the conspirators in

which the deputy promptly reported to sher-

WILMINGTON, Del, October II, 1906.
The whipping post, which has been recon-
mended as punishment for certain grades
of crime by the grand jury of the District
Of Columbia, has been in use in the state
Of Delaware for over two hundred years.
As to it's efficiency in preventing crime, or
Its desirability as a mode of punishment,
opinions vary, but certain 1t is that no
movement to put 1t away has ever met
with great popular approval, and present
indications are that it's use will be con-
tinued for many more years.
The first record of the whipping post ap-
pears in the old colonial chronicles, in 1856.

The pillory Is on a platform above the

above the platform has a cross-beam about
five feet above the floor. The arms of this
beam on each side of the post consist of
two pieces, the upper ones being movable
and connected to the lower ones with
hinges so that they can be raised. Each of
these arms has three openings, one for the
neck and the other two for the wrists of
the culprits. When a prisoner Is ready for
the punishment the upper part Is raised,
and, after his neck and wrists have been
gently placed in the receptacles, the upper
piece Is lowered and fastened down. Here

LORD sAckv1LLE CRITICISED.
English Papers Generally Deplor,
His Folly.

A special cable dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press from London says: English pa
pers have had but little to say on Lord
Sackville's attack upon Ambassador Bay
ard for the probable reason that they have
been compelled to rely on very meager ex-
tracts from the pamphlet cabled back from
New York by the correspondents of the
Times and Chronicle. The former cables,
among other satirical comments upon Lord
Sackville's injudicious publication, that it
sufficiently proves the wisdom of President
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard in sending
Lord Sackville's passports to so indiscreet
diploHatist.
The Times editorially speaks of the PAM
phlet giving "a by no means flatterng
picture of the expedients to which Ameri-
can politicians sometimes have recourse en-
the eve of a closely contested election"
Otherwise, the editorial comments of the
other London newspapers are unanimous
in deploring Lord Sackville's folly.
The ST. James Gazette says the ex-nlin-
lister has raised storm In a slop BASIN"
The Telegraph is even more emphatic.
1t calls the pamphlet "a very foolish. ILL
hammered and ill-timed attempt to injure
the reputation of Mr.. Bayard, the popular
representative in this country. We can
only hope the common sense and practical
judgment of the English and American
public will treat this uncalled for attack
in the only way in which It deserves to be
treated-by contemptuous disdain.''
