Startling Admission Made by Martin
Schmidt In the ST. Louis
Tctanus Inquiry.

ST. Louis, Dec. 11.-Martin Schmidt
offered the most startling testimony
heard at Tuesdays session of the
tetanus inquiry commission. He de-
clared that DR.. Ravold had directed
him, on October 3, to prepare for dis
tribution the serum drawn from the
horse Jim" which had been shot the
day before because it had tetanus.
"Dr. Ravold told me-" said Schmidt.

as the horse had not been affected
with tetanus on September 20, when
the drawing was made
Il knew" the witness declared,
that the serum was poisonous and
unfit for use on human beings, but I
felt that | could not question DR..
Ravold's orders. So | went ahead and
carried ont the orders"

Ex-Convict Given Damages.

A case of general interest was decid-
ed in federal court at Little Rock last
week. Chas. Williams. colored,
brought suit against Col. John NJ. Ora
Gle for $4,000 damage for alleged
mistreatment, while a convict on the
county farm at Hannabery last spring.
The plaintiff alleged that he was poor
" clad and insufficiently fed, that he
vas compelled to work out in the
tield in all kinds of weather: that his
place of abode was unfit for human
being, and that he was inhumanly
whipped by the defendants agents. In
his instructions to the jury Judge
Trieber said: IF you find that he
was inhumanely treated; if you find
that he was not furnished with such
food as humanity would require
should be furnished to a man such as
he was and required to work as he
was, or that he was not kept warm
and as comfortable as the laws of hu-
manity in cases of this kind demand;
or that he was exposed at night with
out sufficient covering exposed to the
winds and sleet on account of open
places in the place where he was re-
quired to sleep; then, gentlemen of
the jury, the plaintiff would be enti-
tied to recover as damages full com
pensation for all the sufferings he has
undergone. physical as we'll as men
tai. And if you further find that this
was done continuously and habitually
by the defendant or his agents and
employees, and also that they inflicted
punishment without sufficient cause.
punishment severe upon his naked
body. excessive and in an inhumane
manner, then the plaintiff is entitled
not only to recover the actual dam
ages suffered by him for his physical
and mental pain, but also exemplary
damages or smart money, for which
purpose you may take into considera-
tion the evidence that has been agreed
upon that the defendant is a man Of
large means and wealth, so that the
damages imposed on him, If you find
this issue for the plaintiff that de-
fendants actions were wanton, should
be lesson to him and others that the
law will not tolerate any such inhu-
name or barbarous treatment" The
jury found for the plaintiff in the sum
of $3.50.

YOUNG CLERK GONE WRONG.
He Received Twenty-Five Dollars n
Month for handling other
Peoples Money.

ST. Louis, Dec. 11.-Herman Ernst.
is years old, a clerk for the last eight
months i'll the Continental national
bank, was arrested by Chief of De-
tectives Desmond, Monday, on a
charge of embezzling $7S1 from the
bank. At first he was inclined to
deny the accusation, but he finally
broke down under the cross-uuestion-
ing of the chief and confessed to the
whole amount. He is under n ST 900
bond, furnished by the Philadelphia
Bonding Co. He says he spent the
money running around having a good
time.
Young Ernst held the position of
eastern remittance clerk, taking care
of all the exchanges from the east.
Though receiving a salary of only S25
month he handled hundreds of dol
lars daily, and his position was re-
sponsible one.
Ernst lays the blame upon the
small salary he received, saving that
he could not live on the amount given
him.
