Illogical, but Right.

Benjamin Kidd. In the December Atlantic.
The spirit behind the constitution of ths
United States is probably one of the most
vital and healthy things in the world; and
vet under the constitution itself there are
already the most Illogical results. One of
the fundamental principles of government
in the United States Is the assumption of
the right of every citizen to liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. The negro is a
citizen of the United States, and yet in
some states of the Union he is forbidden
to marry q citizen of different color. The
Indian is n ward of the United States, and
not a citizen: and the Chinaman is for
hidden to vote. All this is Illogical. But il
is not therefore wrong; and the fact re-
mains that the spirit behind the Amerf-
can constitution is probably one OF the
healthiest in the world The intense feel
Ing of the Western man that there is .

of BIack mailing the Gould Heirs
and That All Letters Were
Written in Her Clients
Interest.

ALBANY. y. Y, Dec. 1.-The third day $
trial of Mrs. Margaret Cody for the al
legged blackmailing of the heirs of the Jay
Gould estate was devoted almost exclusive
ly 10 the examination and cross-eNamna-
tion OF the defendant. who was placed On
the stand after two unimpcrtaEt witnesses
were examined this morning and her couu-
Sci had opened their side of the case. Her
cross-examnation was not concluded when
the court adjourned this afternoon until
tomorrow.
In response to questions from her attor-
ney, Mr.. Duean, Mrs. Cody told a straight
forward story TO her connection with
Mrs. Angels case, and her cross-examina-
ton was of preliminary nature. and did
not weaken her story up to its correspond
irE points in the cross-examination.
Mrs. Cody said that her first attention
was called TO the case by an interview in
the Rocky Mountain News of Denver, i'll
December. 1894 with Mr.. Pierce in which
the latter was quoted as saying that his
wife. Mrs. AngeIrs daughter, was the
daughter Of the late Jay Gould, who had
deserted his first wife.
She had on several occasions been en-
ployed TO look up relationships and family
trees and the like and when she saw this
item in the paper she began a correspond
ence with Mrs. Pierce concerning the mat
ter. and eight months later visited Mrs.
ANGEL at Rouse's Point. and. after talking
over the matter with her, she agreed TO
try to establish the proof of relationship
OF the latter TO Jay Gould.
The matter was then advertised In the
papers and later a Mr.. Speer called on her
and asked her if she would come to AL
bany 10 see his cousin, William McMurtie
Speer. McMurtrie Speer called in person
the next day and later he called with Mr..
Amaza Parker. Jr.. of this city and hey
entered into contract TO act as attorneys
for Mrs. Cody. She was to do the work
to secure tho proofs of the marriage. She
then told of her hunt for this proof and
several letters were read by her counsel
from different persons, who claimed TO
have knowledge of the marriage.
Affidavit of Mary Ann Shields. of Cham
plain. was read in which the deponent
swore that in April, 1853. she saw Rev. MI.
Leighton marry JAY Gould to Mrs. Angel.
Shortly after this Sne not pleased
with the inactivity of the firm. severed her
connection with them and employed an
other law firm Of this city.
in explaining the letters which she
was indicted for blackmail. she said that
she had no intention of blackmaiing the
Gould heirs and that she wrote the let
tcrs in the interests of her clients and not
herself.
The case will probably be presented to
the jury late tomorrow.
