DOUGLAS MURDER CASE

of these offenses is not sufficient to
Justify the killing. 1t must appear
that the circumstances, viewed
from the defendants standpoint as
they then reasonably appeared to
him, were sufficient to excite the
fears of a reasonable man, and
that the defendant acted upon
these reasonable appearances of
danger.
The jury are also instructed that
in order to justify homicide upon
the ground of self defense it is not
necessary that the defendant
should have been in actual danger
of losing his life or of receiving
serious bodily injury at the hands
of the deceased at the time of the
homicide, but it is sufficient to JUS
tify the killing. If the jury find
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant did kill the deceased; if
the acts, or words coupled with the
acts of deceased, viewed from the
defendants standpoint as they
then reasonably appeared to him,
were such as to reasonably V cause
the defendant to apprehend that
he was in apparent danger of los
ing his life or of having serious
bodily injury inflicted upon him by
the deceased, he would be justified
in taking the life of the deceased;
and if you so find, you will acquit
the defendant, unless the jury fur
ther find from the evidence beyond
a reasonable doubt that the defend
ant voluntarily engaged in a NOR
tai combat with the deceased, arm
ed with a deadly weapon, or that
the defendant provoked or by his
own wrongful act brought on the
difficulty under the conditions
hereinafter set forth.
If the jury find from the evil
dence beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant, armed with a
deadly weapon, voluntarily en-
gagged in a mortal combat with the
deceased, knowing that it would
or might result in death or serious
bodily injury to himself or the de-
ceased, or that the defendant pro-
voked the combat or produced the
occasion in order to have a pretext
for killing the deceased, the kill
ing would be murder, no matter to
what extremity the defendant may
have been reduced in the combat.
Gentlemen of the jury, your
verdict must be based upon the
law and the evidence, and not up
on suspicion, presumption or pref
udice. You should in reaching
your verdict act without fear. fa-
YOr or affection. Your whole duty
will be done when you have settled
the question of fact. The law as
given to you by the court must be
your guide as to the law, but you
alone must settle the question OF
fact as to whether the defendant,
first, is or is not guilty of the
crime of murder, as charged in the
indictment; second, as to whether
he is or is not guilty of man.

If there is a reasonable doubt il

Asserted That the Chinese Foreign ONCE
Is in the Pay of Russia.

Shanghai, April at II announced
that a person of the highest rank has
memorialized the emperor in the most
vigorous language, accusing the whole
Tsung Ii Yamen CChinese foreign Of
feel of being in the pay of Russia. He
asserts that Russia expended 10000. 900
taels in bribery during the recent ne
gotiations regarding the cession of Port
Arthur and Tia Lien Wan. etc., and
claims that Ii Hung Chang's share was
1900. 900 taels. Thereupon the person.
age referred to demands a full investi-
cation and asks that Ii Hung Chang
be beheaded IL the accusations are
proved, the memorializer Offering to be
executed himself il his charges are not
sustained.

British gunboats to enter and leave
Port Arthur freely. The British first

Admiral c. p. Fitzgerald, second In

of the squadron left Che Foo on Satur-
day. Their destination is unknown, but
is reported to be Cehumepo, the port OF
Seoul, capital of Corea. The movements
of the various ships excite the greatest
interest among foreigners here. 1t is
supposed they will make a demonsfra-
ton, possibly in support of some British
demands for concessions.

A QUEER TOMBSTONE.
1t Represents the Life Work of the
Man Who Lies Beneath.

It has often been said that a monu-
ment which to some degree represents
Il mans life work is his most fitting
tombstone. Seldom, however, has an
attempt been made to carry out this
idea with such realistic eXactness as
was done few years ago in Oak Grove
cemetery at Fall River, Mass, by one
of the large mill owners of that city.
AS the visitor proceeds through the
southeastern side of the cemetery he sees
a quaint little granite structure, look
ing at first glance in the distance like
an enlarged dolls house, with windows
and peaked roof, but as he draws near
enough to catch the view of the great
stone cotton mills in the city below the
full significance of of it flashes upon
him. 1t is mill, a miniature copy
of the larger ones which are so dis
tinctive a feature of Fall River. 1t is
a solid mass of stone about nine feet
high, seven and half feet long and
four feet wide, representing three
story building. The windows consti-
tute the sole ornament of the monu-
ment and their panes of highly polished
stone stand out in marked contrast to
the rougher finish of the rest of the
structure. There are six windows il
each tier on both sides of the little
mill, while in front of the row is
varied a central door. Such doors are
placed on the different stories of the
'otton print factories for ease in load
ing and unloading goods, and so mi
nutely has the imitation been carried
out that round keyholes have been
drilled in the middle of each of the doors
represented on the monument.
The man who conceived this curious
tombstone was II. f. Stafford, formerly
part owner of the Stafford mills. It was
his wish to have the work with which he
was so long identified commemorated
in this way and accordingly the monu-
ment was erected soon after his death
in 1892. No finer site could have been
found in the whole cemetery, or, in fact,
in all Fall River. 1t is on the brow of a
high hill commanding a view of the
southeastern portion of the city, where
many of the mills are located. Nearly
forty tall chimneys can be seen against
the distant sky and as many gray stone
buildings, with their rows of windows
visible now and then where the sun
light strikes their glistening panes.
The majority of the mills in the city, in
GLIDING the Stafford mills. are built
with slightly sloping roofs, but one
great structure seen from the cemetery
in the foreground shows the sharp
peaked roof which had been chosen as
more ornamental for the monument
