An UnaOlYeI MYSteHy.

The verdict of the jury in Judge Brad
ley's court last eveni1 practically dec1ar-
ing the alleged Holt will to be a forgery
closes the first stage of one of the most re-
markanle cases ever tried in this part of
the country. 1t is announced that an ap-
peal will be taken first to the Court Of Ap-
peals and. failing a reversal there, thence
to the Supreme Court of the United States.
The belief of the jury is row on record,
but the community is still in the dark as to
the fact IS in the case in which it is par
ticularly interested. Neither the testimony
Ior the decision cf the jury clears up the
mystery that has surrounded the affair
from the beginning. Who sent sent the al
legged Will to the register? Who forged it, If
it was forged? Who destroyed the proofs
of revocation, if it was genuine and re-
vcked? Unless there are unexpected de-
velopments the nature and the means of
the production of the charred paper that
vas yesterday pronounced a forgery by
twelve citizens will become one of the I'M
solved problems Of American Jurisprudence.
Few cases have ever been tried in the Dis
trict with such close attention to details
and with such an amount of legal skill,
and it is certain that no civil suit was ever
argued that attracted more earnest atten-
ton from the community.

A new local record was established today
by the execution of Irving Ford at the Dis
trict Jail fer murder committed May 4th
Of the present year, less than eight weeks
ago. The tragic story of that crime and it's
immediate consequences is freshly familiar
TO all the people of Was shington. 1t was an
atrocious deed and the punishment meted
cut today by the law was thoroughly de-
served. 1t is wholesome that there should
have been SO little delay in the capture
trial. conviction and execution of the guilty
man. The cause of law and order has been
strengthened by the promptness with which
every step has been taken, and Ford's
death on the Scaffold should be a warning
TO his kird, the men of brutal instincts
Enquestionably the miserable wretch was
transformed into an unthinking brute
by liquor. and his confession made this
morning for The Star which is printed else
where shows that he realized the fact, and
breaches an effective temperance sermon.
1t is unfortunate that the scene. at the Jail
should have drawn so large an assemblage
of the morbidly curious and that the war
Gen was urable by reason of his imagined
Guty to his superior officers to Withstand

Watehmen ut Rnpid-TrnnsitC Crossings

=
In view of the fact that the street rail-
ways of Washington enjoy the use of the
public thoroushfares of the city practi-
cally without cost it Is not too much to ex-
pect them to pay the slight expense of
maintaining watchmen at intersections
where collisions are at all times imminent.
The Metropolitan company now demurs az
the police regulation requiring the employ
pent of guards to protect pedestrians at
one dangerous intersection on the ground
that it is Unjust and ineQuitabe for a corl-
pany to be taxed for purely police func
tion- This is a mere play upon words. 1t
may be technically true that the commu-
nifty should defray the expense of the pro-
lection of the public at such crossings. yet
the fact remains that the pedestrians are
not the main beneticiaries of such protec-
ton, but the passengers on the cars and
the comp%nies themselves, which are ex-
tremely liable to loss by collisions and
arrangements of plant. single disaster
at one of these intersections would cost
more than the whole system of protection
throughout the city during many months,
and hence it is surely a bad policy for the
corporation to seek to evade the slight cost
of this common-sense means of protecting
itself primarily and the public incidentally.
III may be advisable to change the wording
OF the regulation so as to base the require
ment as to watchmen on the necessity of
preventing collisions. There are many
functions and crossings in the city that are
sadly in need of such protection, notably
the correr of New York avenue and 14th
street, and that short block north, at II
street To leave these intersections I'M

and the responsibility for a collision

adopt the Commissioners plan and pay
half the cost of the guarding the other

resolute these mer will be at Chicago. with
an instructed majority at their backf Mr..
German Is rated as very shrewd man.
He has more at stake at this time than has
Mr.. Whitney. Mr.. Whitney at home Is
merely his party's counselor and friend.
He can go to Chicago and lose his fight,
ard come home. without injury to himself.
Mr.. German at home Is his party's recog-
MED and responsible leader. Were he to go
to Chicago and show impotency he would be
injured, and his party through him. That
makes a difference.
Then, there are democrats-and Mr.. Cor
man may be one of them-who, while op
posed to free coinage, are yet of opinion
that, all things considered, it is probably
just as well to have the matter settled this
year. The issue has been uppermost in the
party for long time. The south Is COM
mitted to it, and will never be satisfied until
1t has been passed upon at the polls. These
r1en do not think the issue can win at the
POLLS, and once it has been roundly defeated
there, as they believe it will be If submit
ted. that will end it.
But suppose free silver should win at the
polls. Would Mr.. German fear that free
silver legislation would follow? Is there
anything in the fate of the free trade prop
dSanOa 10 give MIN nope! He mas always
favored protection. He tiisapproved of Mr..
Cleveland's tariff message of 1887, and the
very next year appeared at the st. Louis
convention with a protection plank in his
pocket for the national platform. The
committee on resolutions rejected 1t, and
wrote one in accord with the message. In
1892 the party adopted a free trade plat
form-pronounced distinctly against pro-
lection. This was in direct opposition to
Mr.. Germans views; but he did not bolt.
On the contrary, he took the stump for the
ticket and helped elect 1t. But with what
result? When Congress took up the ques-
ton Of taxation, Mr.. German helped to
put the party's anti-protection platform
entirely aside, and to write tariff bill with
protection its very essence and meaning.
And that finished free trade as a demo-
cratic shibboleth.
Could free silver as a democratic cry be
similarly disposed of? The election of a
free silver man to the presidency would not
alone give silver victory. Congress would
have to act and the struggle would take
place in that body. Could the sound money
men under Mr.. Germans leadership effect
as much as the protection democrats did
Under his guiding hand? Mr.. German in
such circumstances would be at the COM
mand of the sound money men of both
parties.

man.

Why is it that Mr.. German, who is in full
agreement with Mr.. Whitney on the finan-
ciel question, refuses to accompany him
to Chicago to help along the opposition to
silver? Is it because he knows the silver
leaders better than Mr.. Whitney does, and
Sees the futility of fight there?
Mr.. Whitney has had no experience with
the men who will appear the most prom
inently as the champions of silver at Chi
caso. He has never met them in the heat
Of q real conflict But Mr.. German knows
them intimately. and has met them often.
They have been his neighbors In the Sena .e
for years. He has frequently seen their

than once. He has seen them stand I'D to

minority. He witnessed the struggle over
