vanccd Mr.. Cook confined himself
strictly TO the evidence and handled the
facts in his characteristic logical and
forciblc style.
The courts charge 10 the jury occupied
about fifteen minutes. The court re-
viewed the evidence at some length and
pointed out those portions especially
necessary 10 be weighed carefully in
arriving at ~ verdict. The jury was also
reminded OF the iact that there was no
opposition to the testimony in regard to
Doucet's having repeatedly slapped
Smits and given the definition OF the
oiiense OF assault and battery and that
OF assault, with intent TO do great bodily
harm.
The Jury retired and in Less than two
hours communicated to the court that
they had iound verdict. The jury
filed into the court room and were lined
up before the bench. The verdict, "Not
Guilty" was announced.
The verdict was probably n surprise
to every one present mt the time 1t
was announced The chagrin OF the
court was evident and never wasan Iron
county jury subjected to n more scathing
reprimand. The court stated that while
he deplored the necessity oil SO doing
such frequent abuses OF jury duty had
occurred in Iron county that it devolvcd
upon him to say that just SO long rs
jurors ignored the law, evidence and
court and found verdicts with regard to
their personal feelings only, just 80 long
would our county he without law and
order and the protection to her citizens
which the law vouchsaics. The court
dubbed the verdict u travesty on justice
and informed the jurors that his deepest
regret was that he could not discharge
them and send them to their several
homes as men wholly incompetent TO sit
as Jurors in civilized community. Mr..
Doucet was discharged and there was
probably not a happier man in Michigan
than he was at that moment.

a Remarkable Pulplt.

The Mechlin Cathedral pulpit Is
regarded Us the second finest In the
world, the finest having been done
by the same artist for the cathedral
In Brussels. The writer, who has seen
both, while admitting points OF su.
periority In that OF Brussels, prefers
this, which Is In the cathedral ut
Mechlin. It Is made OF oak and the
figures Of Christ ana the women are
life size. The sounding board Is
formed by oak leaves twined with
those OF grapevine. The stem Of
the latter rises naturally from the
ground at the entrance to the pulpit,
which Is apparently hewn out OF a
rock. The preacher stands under
the shadow OF the leaves, the cross at
his right hand. Below him and In

the base, 10 horse which has thrown
Its rider. 1t looks as though some

hurled to destruction over q precipice.
The explanation Of the design Is not
given by the guide at the cathedral
nor In any book, so visitors and
regular worshipers are at liberty to
interpret 1t to please themselves.

Few mon are permitted to celebrate
the anniversary OF the day they
broke their backs and when they are
miraculously spared, the occasion. OF
course, Is peculiarly sad. Henry
Hoffman. a patient In a Brooklyn, n.
Y, hospital, has twice seen that
event. Over two years ago he was
brought to the bed on which he has
since laid, with his back broken. The
poor fellow bravely faces the terrible
fate which few are compelled to ex.
perlence.
His case has bafIled the leading
physicians Of the country. Below
his chest he Is as insensible us u
dead man. No operation. the physi-
clans who have examined him. de.
clare, could be made which would re.
lieve him.
At the time Hoffman received his
injuries the case was extensively re-
ported. It was considered remarka-
BILE that the man should live long
enough to reach the hospital, yet he
has fingered since then, having been
unconscious for three minutes, i'm.

him low.

him to the pier. An ambulance was

Hoffman was born in Darmstait,

At first his hopeful disposition sus-
tained him through his severe trial.
He seemed to feel that the doctors
would do something to restore tho

has como to believe, however, that
