The Crime of Circumsiantisl Evidence.

History is full of instances where
innocent men have been hung for
murder and other crimes on circum-
stantial evidence, the facts of the
case frequently not being known
until many years after the tragic
mistake has been made, but proba-
bly, no circumstance Of this kind has
ever carried with it a more shocking
realization of the enormity of mans
life being taken by the law because
circumstances are apparently against
him than case the details of which
have recently been published.
In Richmond, Va, on October the
third, John Wesley Hicks, con-
victed of the murder Of Milton
Bourne, his son-in law, was hanged
at Louisa Courthouse.
Just twenty years ago, man was
hanged in Virginia because circum-
stantial evidence pointed 20 the con-
clusion that he had murdered for
their money an old man and his wife
named Massey. So strong WAS the
evidence that everyone believed that
the prisoner committed the crime:
but the sequel proves that lawyers,
Judge, jury and public were wrong
The sequel is this: Just before
Hicks paid the death penalty last
week he publicly coafessed that be
had committed the crime for which
another had paid his life, detailing
the circumstances ID such manner
as left no doubt in his hearers mindl
as to his own guilt and the martyr
dom of the man who had died assert
ing is innocence.
A good lesson this for judge an'
iury.-Ex.

ANYTHING ANYWHERE.
Brief Paragraphs Giving Some OF the
Happ ntng- of the World OF Men.

Two men were killed, four fatally
and others seriously injured in a
mine explosion at Pawnee, Illinois,
Monday afternoon. The explosion
was caused by too much powder in a
blast, the conclusion causing the coal
dust to explode with great force.
Those killed were 1000 feet away
from the point where the shot was
fired.

Valley Coal company.
A note appended to the statement
reads:
"The schedule referred to in this
statement was not brought from New
York as it had not been completed. :"
PRESIDENT MITCHELL,
of the mine operators union, when
seen by a representative of the Asso
ciated Press on Tuesday, the day
following the proposition Of the
operators given above, gave out the
following statement:
81 fully appreciate with what anz-
iety the people of our country are
awaiting the end of the coal strike.
The coal operators have not ad-
dressed the miners union or its
officers in making their public state
ment. It is therefore impossible for
me to state the attitude of the min
ers at this time. / am now, as I
have always been, deeply solicitous
of the interests of the public and the
welfare of the mine workers who
have been on strike for the past
five months. A formal statement
defining our position and intentions
will be issued just as soon as we are
in possession of the full meaning of
the proposition of the operators.
This statement was made by him
at 8 o'clock after silence lasting
all day. He had no intention of
making it until the correspondents
representing newspapers sill over the
country called on him in body and
informed him that the general pub.
lie desired to have an answer to the
proposition of the operators. After
giving it he was asked many ques
tions regarding the attitude of the
men and the probability of the &C.
ceptance or rejection of othe new
offer, but he had no reply to make
to any of these questions. He de-
MED that he had any knowledge of
what the new offer of the operators
was until it became public property,
and also denied that be was in tele
phonic communication with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. His attention was
called to the feet that most of the
information from Washington iadi
Gated that the proposition would be
accepted and that the strike was
near at an end, but be stoutly main
tanned that neither his officers nor
the rank and file of the men had done
anything to cause such an impress
sion to 60 out.
The district presidents also main
tain silence as to their personal
opinion Oh the proposition, except
ing President Fahy, who after he
arrived from Boston today gave an
inkling as to how he viewed the new
turn of affairs. In reply to query,
he said: .
"The strike cannot be settled with
out the consent of the men. We
are not dealing in gold bricks of any
kind, and you can make any deduc-
ton from that you want"
