single foot without spelling the trot. It
is certainly desirable to have It. The
habit of riding continually at trot is
hard upon horses feet, legs and

EVANS VIOLATION OF LAW.
An Old Examiner and a Republican
Tells Globe Readers About II.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE

An act of Congress provides that
when a pension case is sent out for
special examination, the applicant
must be notified by the Commissioner
Of Pensions, and he can be present or
be represented by his attorney when
the witnesses in his case are examined.
The rules of evidence as laid down
i'm Greenleaf and Phillips on evidence
states that a witness can not be exam
ined relative to a former deposition or
any written statement until he is con-
fronted with that statement and al
lowed to examine it, on until it is read
to him, and he acknowledges tuat ho
signed it or wrote it.
Under the rules prescribed by Com
missioner Evans, the witnesses are not
allowed TO see their former dispositions
although some of these statements
may have been made five or six years
previously. Evans sends his special
examiners out TO the different fields,
and cross-examines the witnesses,
turns them upside down and inside
out RecolleCt. he first puts the wit.
ness under oath, and after twisting
every which way, he coolly tells the
witness that five years ago he swore to
a different story, The poor country
man is frightened, and sees a charge
of perjury staring him in the face.
We all know how weak and fallible
the memory is even among the best
people. Some very smart business men
carry a notebook to make memoranda
of events about TO be acted on the next
week.
The forger or the bank thief on trial
for looting his neighbors property is
allowed to see and examine the written
instrument upon which he is about TO
be examined and asked If he wrote or
signed that Yet this lawful right is
denied the witness i'm the case Of a
Union soldier or his widow.
In former years the special exam
lining division was very useful TO the
soldier. The object was. and should
be now, to get al the facts in the case.
But now the object is to distOrt the
facts and defeat the aim of justice.
] know of one instance where an ef-
ticient special examiner had a case in
which an eminent physician was an
important witness. Tie examiner
showed the doctor his afidavit, made
some years ago, asking him what he
had to say about it. He replied,
That's my statement, and 1 stand by
every word Of it,
That examiner has been called I'm.
Another has been sent I'm his place.
who will try to examine the witness
without letting him see his former
statement
This is the way that Evans. from
Tennessee, manages to cheat the sol
diers out of their just and lawful
rights. Last year he beat them out
of $4,000 600.
! am an Old.time examiner i'm the
Pension Bureau and a Republican at
that, but my heart bleeds TO see the
way my comrades are treated.
The Administration, under Grover
Cleveland, in its worst days, never
could compare with Evans. Nowadays

are promoted, and a Grand Army but

it was to Hoke Smith.
