Exodus NY. e. Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord Thy God 10 vain. for t-e
Lord Will not hold him guiltess that taxi
eth His name in vain.
Among other things ne said: we take

ie-.ed and that life claimed and there ue
no commensurate results flowing there
from. the man so processing is guilty of
violation of Dis third commandment.
HypOcrtcs and men OF false religious pro-
fessiOns generally make such claims"
Dr. Potts told the story OF man that
began life relgiously and ended jon the
prison. and declared he was am example
of such false professions
"Nou are Christian-that is, YOU give

Dr. Potts took up tho second reason and
said. owe use the name Of God in vain

when 0aths arc necessity. In courts OF
Justice. when the truth. the whole trurn

Is CRIMINALLY INSANE.

There is a desperate negro in the
State prison named Handy Harris. Som,
years ago he was placed in the State
prison for twenty-five years for killing
a man in Arson county. He remained
there about two months and then made
his escape. Soon after his escape {
powerful negro called Henry Fores
broke into house at Concord, and wheI
he was discovered in the house he at
tempted to kill the owner. He was
tried as Henry Forest and sentenced fol
fifteen years After the trial it de
veloped that he was not Henry Forest
but Handy Harris, the escaped convict
so when he was carried back to the
State prison he had two sentences hang
ing over him. Since he has been 6
convict this time he has become one Of
the most dangerous men in the prison
He has made repeated efforts to xii
some of the other convicts, and punish
ment seemed to have little or no effec
ON him. Finally DR.. Kirby was asked
to examine him and ne pronounced hin
violently insane. He says that he has
the worst form Of periodical insanity
and was liable to kill anybody at any
time, SO the negro has now been placed
in the department for the criminal in
sane. He is said to be a very strong
negro and a desperate and dangerous
man.
