THE JOURNAL S
CRIME.
Aboninations Of Trial by
Public Clamor--J Joseph
H. Choate on LaWless
Newspapers.

In the course of the annual address
which he delivered yesterday, at Sara
toga, before the American Bar Associa-
ton, Joseph H. Choate, the great New
York Republican lawyer, scourged such
crimes as that of the Evening Journal
with the passionate condemnation which
they deserve. His language and illustra-
tions are so opposite to the particular
conduct of the Jersey City yellow sheet,
its recent crusade in his mind
The following is a verbatim report of
the language which he used in this por-
ton of his address,
There is one serious infirmity in trial
by jury in criminal cases in times of
great excitement. especially when the
more boisterous portion of the press
undertakes, as it generally does to
prejudge the case and to condemn the
accused unheard. The jury, under
such circumstances, find it hard to re-
sist the impression Of public sentiment
so loudly proclaimed. The courage and
firrnness which stood as an effectual
barrier against the wrath and tyran-
ny of kings, and which won for the
petit jury so much of its prestige and
glory in English history, are certainly
likely at times to fail when confront
more potent and dangerous despot, an
enraged democracy. Fortunately such
rarely directed against innocence, and
other tribunals do not withstand their
fury while the storm lasts any better
than the jury. Judges of the first in
stance, and even the local tribunals
of appeal, have been found equally
powerless to stem the tide. Study the
reports of our own Court of Appeals
in recent years, and you will find more
than one instance of public wrath in
our great metropolis, famed into de-
vouring flame by some lawless news
papers and a somewhat lawless inves-
tigating committee, where the trial
court, unconsciously Influenced and
loudly sustained by public opinion,
committed fatal errors against the
prisoner, which were confirmed by the
local tribunal of appeal, and it was
only when the storm had passed and
the atmosphere cooled that the Court
of last resort, sitting in the remote
capital, corrected the error, and each
time with Inc unfortunate result that
an apparently guilty prisoner who
had been convicted upon Illegal evil
dence or rulings escaped altogether.

KYNASTON'S STRUGGLE.

Mail Robberi es.

John Kvnaston, the third officer of the
White Star Line steamer Britannia, who
was arrested on August 6 on suspicion
of having stolen Government bonds. was

three months have been systematlcally

worked in with three others of the ship $
crew and so far the authorities have dis
covered that more than $4,000 worth OF
mail matter was taken. The others are
known as Galway and Barnard. These
two confessed to the robberies and I'M
plicated Kynaston. Galway and Barnard
have volunteered to return to England
for trial as the crime was committed on
English territory, but Kynaston refuses
to go.
Kynaston was arrested on the morning
of August g. He attempted to cash s2o
worth of coupons of United States per
cent. bonds at the Third National Bank,

Ross was suspicious and questioned him
about the coupons. He became confused
and darted out of the door Mr.. Ross

An investigation was begun by the ati-

ORIGIN nf.PearIs.

AS vet, says a writer in Lippincott's
Magazine. the origin of pearls is mat
ter of mere speculation The old theory
that they were "congealed dewdrops
pierced BY sunbeams' was supported by
naturalists as late as 1854, and is evil
denced by a Venetian medal, bearing an
open oyster slIeif. receiving drops of rain
with the motto, by the Divine dew"
Later conchologists, however, contend
that the pear nucleus may be some min
ute particle, as a grain OF sand or the
frustule of d diatom or tiny parasite, or
perhaps one off the ,ova of the pearl oys-
ter itself This particle or foreign body
is gradually surrounded by thin layers
of inacre until it is. completely encysted
and the pearl formed. The consecutive
layers may vary in brightness and color,
and a defect may be caused by contact
with another foreign substance, thus
changing the value with each new layer:
and Sometimes causing a lively "kernel'
or sect to be enclosed in an apparently
poor pearl

BOY MISSING
Believed He Left Home to
Avoid a Whipping.

Freddie Galley, nine years old. of No.
50 Erie street. has been missing from his
home since Wednesday morning and all
though the different hospitals in this Vi
cinity have been searched and the police
Of all the precincts have been notified, no
trace of him has been found.
Young Galley left home at $3.50 o'clock
without breakfast, and did not let his
mother know where he was going. About
9 o'clock Mrs. Galley became worried and
after inquiring of number of his play
mates if they had seen him, returned
home thinking he would turn up all
right.
When he did not appear at dinner she
sent word to her sister, Mrs Buckley
who resides on the Boulevard near St.
Pauls avenue, who sent back word that
he had been there in the morning, but
she sent him home about eleven O'Clock.
Since then he has not been seen by any
one with whom he is acquainted, and his
mother has nearly worn herself out in
searching fo~ him.
When he left home he wore tan shoes,
black stockings, light knee pants with
brown stripes, light checkered waist and
brown derby hat
Mrs Galley said that her boy was in
the habit Of visiting the abbattoir at the
foot of Sixth street, and also the baseball
grounds near New York Bay.
1t is not known whether he could swim
or not, but his mother says he went into
the water a good deal with other boys.
as he told her that he always blessed him
self before doing so.
The only. reason his mother can give
for his leaving home is that on Tues
day evening sire scofdgu rim for staying
out ssate and told him that she would
whip him in the morning.
She said that. she. dreamed last evening
that she saw her son in swimming. and
fears that something serious has happened
to him

Yesterday. 1.-THE Jersey City News" ex-
posed the forgery of a Supreme Court
order by the Evening Journay'' of this
city. in it's edition of Wednesday.
Apparently the journal itself was ap-
palled by the atrocity of its action, for in
yesterdays issue it attempted to crawl
out Of the responsibility by unloading it
upon the telegraph companies.
Below, will be found reprinted for the
public information, the forgery itself, and
also the assertion, made yesterday, that
it was the result of an error by the tele-
graph company" The ordinary common
sense reader will be able to gauge for
himself the probability Of an entire forged
document, including a legal caption,
a court order and the signatures
of three judges being due to an 'error
by the telegraph company in transmitting
she despatch
To o>get as near the truth as possible,
a reporter for 'eThe News called upon
adr Bertholf, the local manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, TO
ascertain if that company had forged the
order of the Supreme Court and put it on
the Journal Manager Bertholf as
sured the reporter that no such dispatch
had been received over the wires of his
company He said that If the dispatch
had been received by the company it, no
doubt. would have been received exactly
as it appeared when fled in the sending
office in Trenton, which is the usual
custom in conducting a telegraph bust
ness.
The reporter then interviewed Manager
Alderman of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany. He declined to show any de-
spatches that had been forwarded to the
Journal Without even admitting that
this particular despatch had been received
for that paper he said, that if it had
been received it certainly was not doc
tored by any of the companys officials
and was transmitted to the Journal
exactly as it had been sent from the
Trenton office The notion that the
company would venture to adulterate
messages, he said, was pure nonsense.

Government has resolved to insist that
the capitulation of Manila after the sign
ing Of the protocol shall have no effect IN
the peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain.
In any event the Government holds that
the capitulation, having been signed by
the commander of the town does not en-
tail the surrender of the whole of the
Philippines.
All the indications are that the peace
negotiations will be prolonged The oppo-
sition factions are redoubling the agita-
tion for convoking the Cortes and 1t is
said that Senor Sagasta begins to hesi-
tate. although he shares the opinion of
Duke Almedevar de Rio, the Foreign
Minister, as to the Inconvenience involved
in a meeting of the Cortes and series
of debates during the peace negotiations
1t is possible that the Cortes will meet
after the elections to the Councils General
about the middle of September.

Stories.

Mamie Coughlin, fifteen years old, the
daughter of Michael and Nora Coughlin,

the police She is incorrigable. She has
lied SO often to Inspector Lange, Detec-
tive Doyle and the police in general, that
none of them will onger credit any state
ment she may make. On Wednesday last
Inspector Lange received letter from
the Gerry Society, in New York enclos-
ing letter which Mamie Coughlin had
sent the Society, complaining that her
parents had ill-treated her by tying her to
bed post and beating her and declar-
ing that unles she was taken out of their
power she would commit suicide

The letter was written from the home
of Mrs S. Carter, No. II Oak street.
Inspector Lange had the girl before him
and she told him a terrible tale of cruelty
and utter depravity on the part of her
parents The next day he had the parents
before him Mrs Coughlin denied her
daughters story
She said that the girl went to work for
Mrs. Carter three weeks ago. A week
ago yesterday she came home and com

could stay with her no longer. The girl
remained home until Saturday, when she
ran away and returned TO Mrs. Carter.
The two stories were SO conflicting that
Inspector Lange determined to see the
mother and daughter together
He notified Mrs. Carter to have the girl
in his office at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Coughlin was there on time
but the girl did not arrive
Mrs. Coughlin talked with Inspector
Lange for an hour on the depravity of
her daughter. He finally told her that he
would send policeman with her to Mrs.
Carter's home, and that she could either
make Mamie return home with her or
have her arrested.

volume came down. The missing children,
together with some older persons were
standing on porch of the brick tenement
house on Violet alley. in the rear of Main

overhung the run. When the great wave
20 feet high came down, the porch was
carried away ard the people went with
it. Mrs. John Loftus mother Of the two
children first named, and two men, were
the adults in danger. The woman made
heroic effort to save her children, but to
no purpose.
Near the mouth of the run the sand
dredge Pittsburg was moored, and when
the men in it saw the wreckage coming
down the stream. and the people strus-
Cling for life they stoDped all else and
went to the rescue The men and the
women were carried out into the Ohio
River, but were saved by the sand dig
gers. The woman excited the admiration
of all who saw the catastrophe- She was
almost overwhelmed number of times,
but each time fought off the debris and
came to the surface.
The great body Of water did much dam
age Parties of men are searching for
the bodies of the children. There was a
heavy and continuous downpour of rain
throughout Western Pennsylvania from
midnight until eight o'clock this morning
and considerable damage was done by
washouts and the overfiowing of small
streams, but as far as known there were
no other casualties.
