WHERE a PERSON CONTRACTED
TO CUT, HAUL AND SELL PINS
FROM TIMBER ON THE LAND OF
ANOTHER AND no PAY THE
OTHER ONE-HALF OF THE NET
PROFITS, HE is NOT GUILTY OF
ENTERTAINMENT IL HE FAILS
TO MAKE SUCH PAYMENT.
The whole case appears from the
opinion OF the court.
The court says:
The evidence was that the defendant
made Il contract with the prosecuting
witness. John Shope. by which the de-
PENDANT was to make locust pins out OF
timber ON the prosecutors land: that
defendant was To get them out, TO have
them hauled and TO pay the prosecutor
one-half Of the net profits; that defen-
dunt. under this contract, got out the
pins, hired them hauled, sold them for
SIN or eight dollars and never paid the
prosecutor anything. Among other
things, the court was asked to instruc,
the jury that upon this evidence, il be-
neNed the detendInt WAS not guilty
This instruction was refused, and in
thls there is error. The statute (Code,
section 1910 provides that .If any
officer. clerk. employee or servant of
any corporation, person or co-partner-
snip, shall embczzle or fraudulently

Notes of Cases Recently Decided,

Our People.
BROWN y. COMMONWEALTH.

Supreme Court OF Appeals OF Virginia,
January Is, 1900.
THE GUILT OF y PARTY CANNOT
BE INFERRED UNLESS THE
FACTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH
HIS INNOCENCE.
EVIDENCE HERE INSUFFICIENT
TO CONVICT OF MALICIOUSLY
OBSTRUCTING A RAILROAD CAR.
Brown was convicted of fcloniously
and maliciously obstructing a car Oh
the railroad leading from Seven Pines
to Richmond by placing u piece of tim
Der on the track with intent TO derail
the car. He appealed to the Court Of
Appeals. The facts are shown in the
opinion OF the court.
The court says:
The accused took the car in question
in Richmond at l1:i5 p. III. September
IL. 1898, to go to Seven Pines, and when
1t had proceeded little over half of the
distance he was elected for disorderly
conduct. The car continued OH it's route
TO Seven Pines and promptly returned,
reaching few minutes after II o'clock
the place where it collded with all OBJ
struction, In the form of railroad tic,
which had been placed under the rail on
one side OF the track and over the rail
OH the other, at Il point something over
mile from the point where the ac
cuscd was elected. Within three to five
minutes before the car struck the OBJ
struction the accused was met on the
side of the track bareheaded and APP
parcntly in rather an excited condition
OF mind, and was going In the same di-
rection as when last seen. His hat
seems TO have been lost where he WAS
put off the CTR; least Il hat-was-
found there, which the witnesses say,
to the best of their knowledge and be-
lief, was his hat and the one he had on
when he was put off. \ few minutes
after being put off the car the accused
was heard 10 make The threat that he
would take Il rock and Knock out
of ED. GrigGs," the motorman who as
sisted the conductor in putting him off.
The threat and the loss of the hat
constitute the only material evidence
that tends IN any way to connect the
accused with the offence. 1t cannot be
said 10 create more than a suspicion
against him. Taking the whole evidence
together, IT. is Of ~ very doubtful and
inconclusvc character and not suill-
cinet to warrant his conviction.
The guilt of a party is not TO be in
fcrrcd; because the facts arc consistent
with his guilt. hut they must be incon
sistent with his innocence" Reversed.

OUR LITERARY
COLUMN
STUB ENDS or THOUGHT.

The quaint sayings OF Mr.. Arthur G..
Lewis. Southern passenger agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. are at
tanning such a wide currency and popu-
larity that the following STUB Ends of
Thought" from the February issue of
the Book Of the Royal Blue" out yes
terday, will be appreciated by the Vir-
ginian-Pilots thousands OF readers:
Love is purified by respect, glorified
by honor and augmented by success.
Never trust n woman who Is indefi-
mite in her views and opinions. Her
affections and morals too frequently
develop the same failing.
Grief lives upon remorse. and memo
ries Of what might have been alone sus-
tain IL.
In perverted natures. gratitude is
generally the first absent virtue.
Let us bow to the superiority of in
tellect everywhere, and respect the i'll
dividuality Of thought, whether in ac-
cordancc with our own views or against
them.
Respect is as essential to perfect love
as content is to permanent happiness.
Our wives are no better than our
mothers in-law make them.
Modern business ethics might DC adj
vantageously inoculated with the virus
of ancient methods.
The golden band of respect and con-
fidcncc acts as IL firm yet gentle curb
TO the indiscretions of nonplatonic
affection.
The man who has control of his own
tongue is a genius Who overCoMcs an
hereditary maternal affllction.
1t is far more easy to tell Il we'll in
tcntioned untruth yourself, than to hold
an expression of good faith when some
one else is telling you Il lie.
The woman who changes the color of
her hair in order TO crafty personal
vanity, is generally satisfied with her
own opinion as to the change in her
appearance.
Economy cannot consistently be
measured by expenditure.
Remorsc is frequently the mother OF
reformation.
Never break two eggs together, or
Judge two men alike. There is always
n difference in their flavor or tempera-
ment.
One Of The greatest obstacles In the
path OF intellectual progress is the fool
who does not know, and is unaware Of
his ignorance.
Concentration is the essence OF wit,
and intelligent nbbreviation the genius
OF business economy.
Much adverse criticism may, to a
large extent, be attributed to either
envy or ignorance.
Hatred of another is frequently
created by the knowledge of an in
jury done, and the absence of sufficient
honesty to confess the fault.

February number of this popular mag
azine has been received from the pub

fire which destroyed almost the entire
plant of the Lippincott Company in
Philadelphia did not succeed in injurine
the magazine department. The prln-
cipal story for February is "The Siren
From Bath" by Louis Zangwill, fol-
lowed by "a Stake OF Zion: Mormon
story" by Mrs. J. X. Hudson, both of
