Children Out of school.

The city OF Syracuse has opened truant
school as necessary adjunct to the law
for the compulsory education OF children
who are of school age. Such children as
do not attend school with proper regularity
Will be committed to the school for ten
days, and during their confinement will
be compelled to study and exercise. The
name is not happily chosen, as a truant
is one who stays from school
without the knowledge or consent of
parents or guardians. The chief use of this
institution will he to con6ne children
whose parents wish to have them other
wise employed than in attending school.
In some cases, as where a widow Is left
with young family, whose older boys
can earn something compulsory educa-
ton works great hardship. and really can
not be enforced without what the English
call reform-school, but might better be
called prison-school. Perhaps after a
few years of trial Syracuse can tell US
whether the city has benefited by accus-
tomlng large number OF her young
people to the inside of this house OF de-
tention. Also whether it would not have
been better to try little drawing before so
much driving.
In Pennsylvania q similar law goes into
operation next year. 1t will be enforced
pasmodlcally, as where e local board OF
school directors wish to keep attendance
up to the minimum required for the con-
tinuance of school. In most parts of
Philadelphia, and probably of other cities
of the State, it could not he enforced,
because the existing schools are full and
the community cannot afford to build
enough new ones.-Philadelph Amer

DR.. Eugene West in Court for
the Murder of Addie
Gilmore.
RAPID PROGRESS BEING MADE
Four Important Witnesses Examined
for the People-May Finish
To-Day.

DR.. West was on trial yesterday. Dur
ing the morning the last two jurors were
secured, and the case against him was
opened for the second time.
A. P Black, the Assistant District Attor-
ney, made the prosecutions preliminary
statement to the jury. He told how Addie
Gilmore came down from her home in
Colusa to learn the milliner's trade in this
City, how she disappeared early in Sep
tenn ber, 1893 and how soon after her head.
severed roughly from the body and en-
closed in wire screen, was found rising
and falling on the waves on the beach near
Lime Point. How soon after parts of her
body, cut to pieces and packed in an oil
can, were found on the beach along the
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-18

Oakland shores in Alameda County, and
how her death had been traced 10 DR..
Eugene West, the defendant. He said he
would show that the girl died at DR.. Vests
house, from the effects of criminal
operation performed by him, and how, to
avoid detection and punishment, he had
cut the body to pieces and consigned it,,
bit by bit, to the waters OF the bay.
For the purpose of exped1ting the trial,
J. \. +. Wilson, counsel for West, agreed
to admit that the head and pieces of flesh
washed up by the bay on its various shores
we're parts of the body of Addie Gilmore.
This has saved all the evidence given at
the first trial by the Coroner, his deputies
and all the people who were examined
at the first trial, in order to prove beyond
a doubt that Addie Gilmore was really
dead, and that she had been so brutally
butchered. John Gilmore, the girls
father, was called as the first witness as
soon as these preliminaries had been
settled.
Gilmore told how he had become anx-
ious in consequence of the long silence of
his daughter, and had come down to this
City to see why she had not written. He
went to Toplitz & Co., the milliner's
establishment where she had been work.
ing, and there he met the forewoman, Mrs.
Harriet Austin. She and he went to DR..
Vests, and after many evasions, and not
until they had called more than once, did
he tell them that the girl had died in his
house, that he had burned her clothes and
that her body had been sent to a medical
college.
Miss Emma Gilmore testified to SUBJ
stantially the same facts, and then D. V.
Plymire was called. Plymire had known
Miss Addie Gilmore in Rcd Bluff, where
he was a stone-cutter. He met her again
here in San Francisco, where he subse-
quently came to study medicine. and while
she was working as a milliner. He said
she came to him and told him she was
about to undergo an operation and he
swore he had tried to persuade her not to
do so. He was questioned closely as to the
conversations he had had witt her and
how often he had seen her, but his memory
appeared extremely bad, and not much
evidence was obtained from him other
than the fact of the girls expressed inten-
tions.
Plymire was followed on the stand bv
Mrs. Harriet Austin, under whom Addie
Gilmore worked. She told how she had
gone to see Dr. West to inquire about the
missing girl and how he had put her upon
the wrong track She told, too, how he
had admitted that the girl died in his
house.
day. There will be but two witnesses who
were not examined at the former trial-Dr.
Harvey, under whom Plymire was study
ing, and Mrs. DR.. Dale, to whom the dead
girl said she was going. The result of the
first trial was set aside because Judge Wal
lace had refused to allow DR.. Rodney John
son to testify because his testimony would
necessarily relate to privileged communi-
cations. The case will go on to-day.
