moiety Of the civil list of the Crown Prince. the

ridiculous to subscribe to the maintenance of a

Much pressure was brought upon the Crown

them over. But this he has refused TO do and
the result is that Norway still withholds the

For the Roundabout
A New Moses In the Southwest; An Up.
right and Sensible Judge.

The following extract from a charge
lately delivered to the Fort Bend
county petit jurors, on opening his
court at Richmond, Texas, by Judge
Wells Thompson, commends itself
to the consideration and common
sense understanding of all right
minded people. 1t is a ''new de-
parture" that we trust will be duly
considered and initiated by our Grim
inal Judiciary. In our judgment its
endorsements will do more to suppress
the crime it aims at than any practice
laid down within the memory of the
oldest legal practitioner, and, while
having that effect, can work no in
Justice to those entitled to plead
legitimate self-defense. 1t is rule
so rationale remedy SO effectual-
that violators OF its spirit must stand
aghast, for 1t sweeps away the foul
subterfuge that has turned so many
cold blooded murderers loose to gloat
over their cunning and revel In the
misery they have brought. The plea
of self-defense should never be enter
tanned unless the possession of a
deadly weapon on the person of the
slain sustairs it. The common story:
"He made a motion as if to draw
weapon and felt myself in danger"
should not be accepted unless the

would not allow him to say in each

in effect, that unreasonable doubt"

inals evaded their just deserts, and
that the old maxim that cit is better
that ninety-nine guilty men should
escape than that one innocent man
should suffer" was wrong in princi-
pie, and that while it is a very rare
occurrence that an innocent man is
ever found guilty Of a charge, it
would be better to- reverse the rule
and punish an innocent man occas-
ionally than to allow ninety-nine
criminals to be turned loose upon a
help ess community. He excOriated
the hip-pOcket defense and said that
when jurors should find that the
deceased was unarmed at the time of
his death they should consider such
evidence false, and it should deprive
the defendant of the self-defenSe
theory. He said many other things
upon this line, and told the juries
that the practice of accepting drinks
or other courtesies from acquitted
defendants would not be tolerated by
him; that persons who approach
jurors in behalf of a defendant, or
who should even take occasion to
talk in manner to attract the atten-
ton or sympathy of juror in any
case, should he reported t. him anil
he would deal out swift and severe
punishment.
"These startling charges had an
electrical effect. The people endorse
him all over the district. and the
lawyers were both shocked and
elated. They were shocked because
1t meant disaster to their clients and
elated because of the confidence they
felt of ii reversal in cash of "a cOnvic-
ton. They all excepted to the
charges, and four cases were APP
pealed, the principal grounds upon
which reversals were asked and ex-
pected being this innovation. There
fore when the news came this morn
ing that the Court of Appeals did not
consider this reversible error the con-
sternation in legal circles WAS great
and the opinion prevails that other
district judges will take up the same
line of instructions"

attempting to get into their dwell

bad had it become that timid women
were afraid to be alone in their

not catch whoever it was. Accord
ingly they laid plans, and on We'd

but he was like the Irishman's flea

Finally party of young folks go

saw the fellow ON Mr.. McDaniel's
porch. Mr.. Hale was told, and,
after watching, saw him come
around and stop, listening at various
houses until all lights were out.
Mr.. Hale secreted himself in his
hall in the dark, and the fellow made
for his door, but was met and arrested
and brought over to police head
quarters, where he was identified as
a man by the name of j. M. Banta,
from Covington, who is fireman on
the ballast train.
Owing to the fact that the man had
not been caught in breaking into a
house or in taking any thing, he was
released by the police.
Hegavevery unsatisfactory answers

West Side believe that he is the

"Richmond, Fort Bend Co., Texas,
June l5.-Members Of the local bar
are discussing the decision of the
court of criminal appeals, as pub
lished in The News this morning.
The cases acted upon from this

they were all affirmed. To the casual

only few of quite a number of cases
