FALSELY ACCUSED.
An Instance of the Fallibility of Circum-
stactial Evidence.


Carrolltor, Ca, Oct. 8-Another proof
OF the falli5ility of circumstantial evil
dence was shown by the development in
a case here to-day, wherein q man in jail
accused OF murder was vindicated
through the confession of another person.
VIII Harper, well-known character in
this vicinity, had been incarcerated,
charged with the murder of Sam Tony, a
notorious desperate. Evidence was
strong against him and there seemed lit
tie hope of an acquittal, when telegram
arrived from Graham, Ga, announcing
that negro dying there by the name of
Bud Wyatt, had confessed the crime and
exonorated Harper from any share in it.
The latter will probably be released in n
few days.

You will teach little Jeanne to make

of nice caresses to your mother when
she is sad. Be very nice, too, with
grandfather and grandmother; have
some good 1arks' with your aunts. 0n
the original the word is "niches,' y
which means harmless little practical
jokes.) When papa comes back from
his journey you will come and meet
him at the station with little Jeanne,

more, many kisses for you and little

Upon the trial Of defendant it is not
proper to show him to have been guilty
of some other offense for the purpose
of raising presumption, either of law
or fact, of his guilt in the case under
consideration. But when a defendant
offers himself as witness in his own
behalf he becomes subject to most OF
the rules applicable to other witnesses,
and among these, and for the purpose
of impeaching his evidence, he may be
asked if "he has ever been convicted OF
a felony" or the fact. if it exist, may
be shown by the record of the judg-
