WEEKLY INDEPENDENT:
SHAMEFUL

AT every term Of the U. S. District
Court a number OF human wretches
are sentenced to fine and imprison,
ment for selling liquor to Indians.
The cost to the Government for the
conviction and Imprisonment OF each
offender is seldom less than $500.
From testimony heard at trials it
seems to be the practice Of certain of.
ficens to become accessory before the
fact by giving Indians money with
which to buy the whisky. The poor
wretch who, driven by poverty or ig-
Of the law, sells the liquor
is the only one of the Infamous COM
bine who is punished.
'rhe aw-enforcing officers and the
lusty innocent Redskin are rewarded
by fees and expenses, and remain at
liberty to entrap other unfortunates
into violating the statutes.-Carson

The lSDEPESDET is in favor of en-
forcing the law agains. all persons

not believe in the practice that has
grown up in this State, OF Constables
watching tramps when coming into
town then going to their Indian stool
pigeon and giving him money to give
the tramps to buy whisky with. Such
business ia carried on in this State by
sworn officers OF the law in order to
get n fee for making arrests.

Mrs. p.yla.en Acquitted.

SAN Francisco, March 25.-To the
surprise Of almost everyone Mrs.
Mary A. Davidson was acquitted of
the charge OF cxtortings $500 from Rev.
G. o. Brown i'll the Superior Court
to-day.
The rapidity with which the verdict
RS rendered almost took the breath
away from those interested. DIR.
Brown the only witness for the PROSE.
cution. was responsible for the yer.
diet, by his W testimony. He testi,
fled he paid the money to Mn. David.
son, and when asked il the money
vas paid through fear. said it was
paid only to secure written evidence
i'll the form OF Il receipt against Mn.
Davidson. Brown was asked the
question half Il dozen times in various
forms, but stuck to his reply. There.
upon the Judge instructed the jury To
acquit, which was done.
The attorney for defense argued
from the statutes and from Supreme
Court decisions, that III order to SO
cure the conviction OF MI. Davidson
for Matchmaking it was necessary for
Brown to admit that fear had induced
him to pay over tho $500 to Mn. Dav.
idson. Brown could have said fear
WAS ut least one OF his motives, rs he
had plenty Of chance tn say 50. His
attorney almost put the words in his
mouth, and Judge Bahrs almost put
the words III Browns mouth. but
Brown refused to acknowledge fear.
He admitted that when Mr. David.
son first threatened him with expos
urc. some time before the payment Of
the money. that he tclt afraid Of the
result such II charge would have on
the public mind. but maintained that
when he paid Mrs. Davidson the
money hat his object was to secure
evidence which would result in her
punishment rs q matchmaker. The
consequence was the corpus deiccti
Va ga LII ZIG GAlLlc VI cAlOIIlOI
could not be proved.
After relating the familiar circum-
stances under which he paid the
money, Brown persisted in his re.
fusal 10 say lie was afraid OF any
thing.
The Court wanted the question of
motive left to the jury, but Browns
attorney, especially retained for the
prosecution, declined to ask the jury
to convict on such testimony and
Bahrs had no recourse but to instruct
the jury to acquit. The jury implicit.
ly obeyed instructions without leav
ing their seats, and Mrs. Davidson
was free.
