onu confession, which tho court allowed
and which WIS read to tho jury. Like
all OF tho other admissions made by this
communicative couple. part Of 1t was
hold TO bD inadmisgiblc. Tho wifoa
testimony againat hcr husband cannot
be received nor can the husband's testi.
mony against tho wife.
Tho nCxt witness for the prosecution
was Harry, tho husband OF Mrs. Dolly
Russell, who corroboratcd his wiio's
statement as to the residence OF the
Robinsons in Buffalo ut tho tlme OF tho
murder and SadiO's nervousness and
anxiety to SEQ the papers tho day after.
Mrs. Miller, tho ownor OF the house,
Wherein tho Robinsons lived ut this
time, was the next witness. She hoJemcu.
bcred seeing Sadie with mems clothes
on tho night Gibbs was murdered.
PawnbrokGr Foster identified the ar
tiClcs tho Robinsons had pawned To got
money to got out Of town the night Of
tho tragedy.
Charles Flanz, gunsmith, was called
to show tho jury how the shells were
ojcctcd from the pistols Clarence and
Sadie carried on their highway robbery
expedition. While Flanz was exhibit.

handwriting expert, was called and said
tho letter was in the same handwriting

wife. while he was in Jail at Cleveland
was likewise in tho same handwriting
as that in the News letter. Mr.. Norce
was positive in his statements. This
ended the case for the prosecution and

Tho Hardship of Corpulency.

Leigh Lynch tells a story which
illustrates the hardship of corpulen-
cy. He says he was once riding on
the Circle railway in London. This
line, as it's name implies, travels
around and around, describing pref
ty nearly perfect circle, whose
diameter is, say, ten miles, In the
Car in which Mr.. Lynch sat was an
old lady, who expressed solicitude
lest she be carried by the station at
which she desired to stop. AS she
was indeed elderly and was fur
thermore very obese Mr.. Lynch felt
sorry for the poor old girl and
sought to soothe her by assuring
her that her station-Hammer
was half an hour away, and that
he would tell her when it was reach
ed.
"Thank you very much, sir, " said
the fat old lady, 'but whenever l
gets out, bein as 'ow I'm so 'eavy, /
backs out; an / ain more than 'arf
way out afore along comes the
guard, an he says, Look lively
there, mum, says he, look lively,
an he pushes me back in again, an

GIRLS in GERMANY.
It Puzzles an American to Know How
They Become Engaged.

yt Puzzles an American to Know How
They Become Engaged.
"They were such curious, stiff,
shy young creatpres, the German
girls, said an American girl, who
recently returned from Germany.
Afraid to say word for them
selves while the mutter or grosmut-
ter was around. Their frankness
upon some subjects was overwhelm-
ing, however. The family with
whom 1 staid was very poor; the fa-
ther had died and left them almost
pe1tniless, and the daughters were
each studying some profession--one,
music; another art, and the third
was preparing to be teacher. That
is, they each and all added with q
sweet smile, if we do not succeed in
getting husbands in the meantime.
In spite of their poverty they
prided themselves upon their aristo-
cratic connections. Owing to the
fathers having held some judicial
position, Acknowledgment was be-
fore the mutter's name. The NUT
ter's sister, having married a mer-
chant, was only 'Wohlgeboren.
Once when the mutter was visiting
this sister they went out shopping
together. The mutter bought one
little mite of package, the sister
made a lot of purchases, but the
one small bundle bore the magic
Acknowledgment while the more
imposing ones were merely marked
with 'Wohlgeboren. In relating
this touching incident the mutter
added, with mingled pride and mod
esty, i was really quite en- barrassed
at my sister of inferior rank buying
so much more than / did.
1.-THE grosmutter spent all her
time in endless knitting. If she
went out for walk in the garden,
you would see her going up and
down the paths, her hands still busy
with the needles. My haunting fear
was that she would ask me about
my prowess in the art, for / never
clicked needle in my life, and to the
Germans a woman's not knowing
how to knit is quite as preposterous
as her not knowing how to read
would be in America. AT last the
dreaded question came, and you
should have seen grosmutter look
of horror when / told her the true
state of affairs.
Zone day, when the mutter and
grosmutter were not present, the
daughters said to me, s;And so in
America you really shake hands
with young men! OF course we
do, said I, Don't your of course
we don't, said they. Such a thing
would not only be highly improper,
but most unnecessary. Why I'M
necessary I asked. Pray, how do J
you greet young man when he
calls to see you?' oh, we are never
called upon to greet him, was the
answer; for unless either mutter or
grosmutter were able to receive |
him he would go away-we should |
never think of receiving him alone.
Then l said, Well, how in the world i
do German girls ever get engaged?'
But they only laughed and said |
That's what all Americans ask.
And that was all the satisfaction I
could get.
Even when a couple become en-
gagged they never meet except in the
presence of third person. Conven-
ton hash t entirely crushed the ro-
nance out of the situation, however,
and this third person is therefore
dubbed The Elephant. New |
York Sun.
