THE MEMORY OF WITNESSES.

N these days when law cases are almost innumer-
 able and the reports of them fill volumes enough to
 constitute libraries of great magnitude not often novel and unprecedented issue comes up Tn court to perpex Judges and the interest of people who are usually indifferent to legal questions. Such point however has recently occurred in Paris and has given rise to good deal of discussion throughout France.
 The issue upon the responsibility of witness for his memory In a case still pending before Parsian tribunal Of the witnesses met every ques- ton concerning important point in the case with the reply ''I do not remember" The attorney who was endeavoring to obtain the information appealed to the Judge compel the witness to answer, aeg- ing that the memory of the witness good on other matters it was mentally impossible for 1t to be lacking the point involved.
 The court took the question under advsement and called in a committee of experts on mental diseases examine the witness and report to the condition of the defautng memory. The experts after examin- ation to the unanimous conclusion that the wit ness was shamming and so reported. The Judge thereupon instructed the witness answer, and when the former reply, "I do not remember, repeated the witness sent to jail to remain until memory resumes its throne and is in good working order again.
 Witnesses who do not remember important facts while they have very good memories for tri1es are common all countries where law courts exist. They are very common indeed in this country and partcu- lary so in involving political frauds or muni- cipa jobbcry. It has been our custom to assume that they spoke the truth when they made the familiar reply pleading lack of memory, and effort far as we remember has ever been made by American Judge to test whether they shamming and lying or really suffering from a mental defect. No one disputes that memory is very unreliable faculty. No mans memory is like that of another, and, moreover, there is marked variation at times in the memory of each individual Some remember faces, but not names; some remember trihes, but forget matters of important business; some can remember what they read in book, but not what they around them. All of these known alterations of memory tend to make hesitate to send to prison witness who cannot remember having been instructed to stuff ballot or to pay money to public official
 Nevertheless the check which this kind of memory places upon the administration of law is great to render 1t worth while in certain cases investigate the mental makeup of witness before we permit him to baff1e justice by not remembering. It Is known that there things they do better in France than in this country, and the thing done by this particular Partisan court seems to be of them
 Perhaps the late Judge Campbell not always dgnihed, but the scramble to get into his place is totally devoid of any element of dignity In fact 1t is disgraceful and disgusting Imagine Gavigan as Police Judge!
