runaway, or other similar occurrence,
and the prosecution stands aghast, be-
cause they find that the witness is tell
ing the truth, SO far as these occur
rences are concerned.
THE criminal knows he must be able
to show that something really happen
ed on the particular day in question,
otherwise a jury would look with dis
trust on his testimony and that of his
allies and friends, and he, therefore,
relies on the files of the daily newspa-
pers to furnish. him with the desired
information, in order to make the rest
of their testimony appear as genuine.
Should two or more men be con-
cerned in the commission of a crime,
and they are not caught in the act, but
later, and if no alibi can be established
for them, then quite often the one
against whom the evidence is strongest
will plead guilty and receive his SEN
tence
Then, when his pals are placed on
trial, he will take the stand in their
behalf and swear that the accused are
innocent, and that it was John Jones
or Bill Smith who were his pals.
"A criminal who thus aids his pals
is considered A No. l by his fellow con-
victs, and is at once admitted into the
select society Of the inmates of the pen
itentiaries"

JUDGE FERRAL PLEASED
HE TELLS OF HIS GREATEST
CAMPAIGN SPEECH.
How He Hypnotized a Band of Mill
Hands With His
Oratory.

Judge Robert Ferral, the well-known
Democrat and stump speaker Of san
Francisco, tells a good story on hlnl-
self apropos of the present campaign.
After ne had finished his plea for
Mcguire on Thursday night he walked
to his carriage arm in arm with his
old friend Captain Forsman. The two
were driven to q cozy room where
fusionists We're puzzhng their heads
over a map of the State, so arranged
as to forecast probable majoriues,
which were indicated by varying tnts
green for fusion. red for Republican
ETC. The Judge calmly viewed the po-
litical prophets at their calculating
work until he began to think they were
strongly absent minded.
cap, is this the placer" he asked OF
Forsman. clearing his throat, and re-
marking that it was a chilly night for
speaking in the open air.
ooh. pardon my oversight" retorted
the Captain-and a very neat decanter
was soon glistening like amber within
easy reach: good old Irish brand.
We'll. sir" said the Judge, as his
throat warmed and the feeling of we'll
being crept through his veins, Il must

TRICKS TO DEFEAT JUSTICE.
SOME OF THE METHODS THAT
CRIMINALS EMPLOY.
The Alibi Subterfuge Seems to be
Most in Favor With
Them.

Referring the other day to some of
criminals to defeat the ends of justice,
County Detective Max P. Fisher said
the alibi was about the easiest dodge
worked on juries.
LAS a general rule said the de-
tective, criminals, particularly those
who either have been in State Prison
or who have faced jury and have
managed to make the twelve men be-
lieve they were innocent of the crimes
charged against them, will. before
doing a job carefully plan a defense
in case they are caught after the COM
mission of the crime. Should they
neglect to do this before, they will do
SO right after turning the trick and
before the cold hand of the law has
been placed upon them.
Sometimes, however, a burglar or
robber, feeling overconfdent Of his
ability in escaping detection, will neg
lect this, and then if he is arrested he
has to depend on some brother crook
or friends to attend to fixing UP a
suitable alibi and it is this latter
method which is most interesting.
IF, for instance, crime is commit
ted on the night of December oath, and
the culprit is arrested some months
later. he will deny his guilt, even in
the face of most absolute proof, and
rely upon his friends to swear that on
that particular night, at the very time
the crime was committed, he was pay
ing his friends a social call and par
taking of some of the good things
which are generally dispensed on
Christmas Eve. His friends will testify
that they we'll remembered. even
months after, that on that particular
night the accused was in their COM
pany. and that they could not be mis-
taken, because it was Christmas Eve.
1.-The attorney for the defense lays
great stress on this, and couples it
with the fact that this testimony leaves
room for a reasonable doubt, to which
the defendant, his client, is entitled.
He works the jury, and quite often to
such an extent as to secure disagree
ment. and even an acquittal
The prosecution is often handicapped
in disproving false testimony of this
kind as the lapse of time makes it
almost impossible to do so, and the
crook and his allies take good care to
leave no opportunity for the prosecu-
ton to diSprove their testimony.
Should the date of crime fall on a
day of no especial Importance. but
within a day or so of picnic, excur-
sion. prize-fight or other ordinary
event then the friends of the accused
burglar or robber will swear that they
recalled with absolute certainty that
at the time it is claimed by the prose
cution that the defendant was engaged
in the commission of crime he was
in their company peacefully engaged in
getting things ready to go to the picnic
the next day: that they were discuss
ing the merits Of the two men who
were to be the principals In the coming
prize-fight-in fact, they can recall the
night with certainty, because the de-
PENDANT had made a wager with the
witness on the outcome of the prospec-
tive contest.
When no such events are at hand

4 LITTLE TALK
ON FLOUR.

When MIR. Letter attempted to
corner the wheat market of
the world, It was notable
fact that while England was
paying enormous prices for
Eastern wheat the California
product sold at much higher
figure than any wheat shipped
into the Liverpool market.
This certainly proves that out
California wheat is the best IN
the world. Il naturally fol-
lows that our California nillers
having the best wheat make
the best flour.
DESTROYS at all times of fur
nishing our patrons with the
best the market affords, we
are pleased to quote Pioneer,
Phoenix or Snowflake flour at
St.O5 per 50-pound sack.
We can also sell you an Oregon
flour, which is a fair value for the
money, called SHASTA SNOW,
at 75c per 50-pound sack.

"Patience," urged the doctor "there
is nothing like out baths for making
people fat"
One day while Perlet was waiting
philosophically in his bath for an EN-.
bonpoint which never came, he heard
a conversation in the next room, from
which his own was divided by only q
thin partition, and which was occupied
by an enormous woman, fat as the
Hottentot Venus.
Doctor" said she, 81 am getting
tired of this"
"Why ?" asked the Esculapius.
~ have been here two months"
"Well, am as enormous as when
came"
"a little patiece, madame. urged
the. doctor; there is nothing like our
baths for making people thin"
Perlet, hearing these words, sprang
out of his bath, dressed, rushed home
to his hotel, ordered his bill and left
for Paris by the next train.-New York
