A FOOL JURY

The acouital of Laura Biggar and
the conviction at the same time Of her
two partners in the conspiracy 10 de-
fraud the Bennett estate out OF a large
sum OF money. shows how asinlne a
jury may be. Miss Biggar, on the death
OF Millionaire Bennett. claimed that
she had been married 10 him. and had
been the mother OF his posthumous
child. After a sensational trial in
which a physician and a justice of the
peace figured, Miss Biggar was refused
her demand TO the estate as the wife Of
the dead man. and then the tables we're
turned, and she. together with the doc
tor and the justice. was held on
Charge OF conspiracy. This last trial
has ended with a verdict OF guilty for
the two men. but Of acauittal for the
woman.
Now, II there was q conspiracy 10 ex-
tort money upon a fraudulent claim, il
was for the benefit OF Miss Biggar. and.
therefore, she must have been at the
bottom of it. In fact, az there was con-
spiracy her share in the transaction Is
absolutely proved by her own testi-
mony. Her declaration OF her mar
riage to Bennett and Of the birth OF a
child was the very essence of the ccn-
Ispiracy. and the two men must have
been mere tools acting I'M her interests
and under her directions. But. suppose
we accept her story as true. admitting
that she was the wife OF the million
aire, then there could have been no
conspiracy, and il was an act Of rank
injustice to hold the two men as par
Elephants in a crime which had not been
committed. The verdict is 80 illogical
so repugnant TO human reason, that II
should have been instantly set aside.
Miss Blggar evidently made an i'm
preston on the jury by her posing and
acting. After a certain type she is at
tractlve, and her tears were ON tap
ready to gush forth at the psychological
moment. There Is al feeling among
juries that beautiful women who know

in the use OF smiles. cannot be guilty

footmen or hired men from the streets

was adopted. "a .footman used to be
sent early to take places and keep
them by the simple but ef1ectual plan
of sitting on them till his masters and
mistresses arrived. Such practice
would now be considered andntolerable

much less particular, and appear to

THE AFTERMATH

When the people OF Wilmington
hooked out the windows yesterday
morning they were delighted to know
that they were to have. genuine Christ
mas weather. The skies were clear and
the atmosphere bracing. and all over
the earth had been laid a carpet OF
ermine There is a certain kind of
weather that belongs to Christmas. and
se az important rs Christmas trees and
feasting. Tales and poems relating 10
the occasion invariably include mem
ton OF roofs weighted with their glis-
tening covering. and the music OF
sleigh h-bells. SO when the morning
dawned yesterday. the people of Della
ware were not disappointed, and the
day was celebrated in the good old
fashioned way.
One OF the most attractive features
OF the occasion WAS the singing OF
Christmas carols at midnight preceding
Christmas Day. Many Of our people
wearied with the preparations for the
day had fallen asleep when they
w'we awakened ny the strains OF
music, Joy to the World, the Lord is

eyes opened. and ears greedily listened
till the last note died away. They
thought Of the songs the shepherds
heard nearly two thousand years aso
and the music was inexpressably sweet
to them.
This custom Of singing Christmae
carols is one OF the most beautiful OF
oil OF the observances Of the occasion,
and is very suggestive OF the origin OF
the day Christmas is past and the
world has returned To its tasks. but the
regret that we shall have to walt an
other twelve month tlll it comes again
was voiced by little fellow who asked
AS he closed his tired eyes last night

oueer Inpnneae custom.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler
of the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on q slip Of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the lar
gest number of ballots is declared duly
"elected" and is accordingly hanged.
This system, like all othess has its pc
cullar advantages. 1t insures the pun
lshment of somebody for every robbery
committed, whereas under the system
in vogue IN most civilized countries in
nine cases out Of ten no punishment Is
inflicted on anybody for the crime. or

Is laughter a good thing-the laugh

sight Of incongruity or by sudden sur
prise? All laughter, at all events, is not

laughter debased. People who trifie

But though the snigger is detestable,
