MATTHEW'S LETTER ANSWERED
Rew's Reply.

To my fellow citizens Of the county
of Accomac:
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-01-16

writer has seen seven Frenchmer
the tops of their voicsA AS the wit.
nesses who have been confronted
often adjourn for ouels, the excite
ment may be continued for some
time. OF course in many cases q
conformation will smooth out appar-
ent contradictions. The witnesses
will agree in their evidence and the
truth be arrived at without difficulty
Next to the conformation the
greatest popularity is the stump
speeches Of the witnesses. AS there
are almost no rules Of evidence. the
witness can say anything he likes,
and so feels he has a great chauce
to distinguish himself. So he writes
out his evidence beforehand. making
1t as sounding and rhetorical as pos
sible. Then he commits it to men,
ory and when he gets into the witness
box he stands up. puts his hand into
at the heads Of the jury. He usu-
ally begins with something about
himself with due emphasis on his
Importance. Then he launches into
the history of the case, as he knows
1t. giving his opinion freely and MAX
ing wise comments on the other WITT
nesses. Occasionally the judge or
lawyers interrupt to ask questions
and sometimes there is a nice bit of
cross-examination. which pulls the
stump speech to pieces and leaves
the witness shattered and disap-
pointed. Or again, if his comments
on the other witnesses are too strin-
gent. he will have two or three of
them in the box with him. shaking
their fists in his face and calling him
eight kinds of liar.
Even when there Is handwriting
or n medical expert. there is small
chance for the jury to go to sleep,
as the learned men are sure to dis
agree and call each other scientific
names. When the jury retires for
consultation they usually get down
to the point of saying. We'll, old so
andso said he thought the prisoner
was guilty and he ought to know"
Then verdict is brought in accord

IDAHO H0Bos.

: There Is a great sadness among
the hobo camps at Lewiston. Idaho.
In fact. they have all taken to the
F"jungles' and barricaded themselves
deep in the white pine forests. "Bill"
Shannon, the fear Of every hobo in
the great northwest, is among them.
For IA long years Mr.. Shannon has
been policeman in this city. and in
that time his reputation has been
rung from one end Of the great coun-
try to the other among hoboes and
crooks of every description and he
has become known as the most fero-
cious hobo bumper in the country
"Bill" went to Lewiston the other
day to locate a timber claim. A hobo
saw him. Half an hour later the
entire hobo element was headed for
the woods or any other retreat where
they could not see Bill. The very
sight of him struck terror to their
hearts. With one trip he had done
what the entire police Of Lewiston
has failed to accomplishment a move
on the festive hobo.

TALK OF CHAIN GANG
FOR VISITING H0BOS

: Citixens are favorably discussing
The subject of the establishment of a
chain gang.
1t Is pointed out, that such step
would be the means Of Kidding Spo-
kane Of a great share of It's lawless
element. whose acts are growing in
number as the season advances
Hardly freight rolls into one of
the depots without discharging its
little bunch Of the criminal and hobo
flotsam, washed out Of other cities,
particularly those Of the coast. which
are at present INDUCING in spasm
of virtue. =
The sides of the freight cars bear
witness in the cabalistfc figures
chalked thereon that Spokane is
known as the "hoboes' heaven"
Whenever in the tramp world a
particularly soft spot Is found where
the listless fraternity can rest un-
disturbed the news spreads with a
rapidity astonishing to any but the
police. The simple name of the town
with an open hand appended chalked

on the sides of freight car by some
assiduous leader of hobodom is suf-
ficient notice to the brotherhood that
the glad fist" can be found in that
town. If the citizens Of that city
show hostility to the; tramp he rude
ly chalks a boot beside the city's
name. A series of links after towns
name indicate that the place Is sup
piled with chain gang and after the
PRONUNCIATION of this eloquent chiro-
graph few tramps venture in that
city's direction.
A case in point Is cited where the
other day a man evidently in search
Of an easy berth stole q goose, was
fined 800 or 80 days in Jail.
Three square meals and a warm
bunk for three months-just what
the man was looking for. In the
opinions Of many the work of such
| q gang as proposed could be handled
in a manner not at all in conflict
with honest labor and yet be made
to pay the city for the amount of the
gangs keep.

A FRENCH TRIAL IS NOT
UNLIKE A LUNATIC SOCIAL
SEVEN WITNESSES JABBER
A

PARIS. Jan. 16.-The trial of the
Humberts, to which everyone in
France Is now looking forward, prom
ises to be almost as exciting as
that of Dreyfus. There are no great
political or moral issues at stake as
in the Dreyfus case, but there is
just as much curiosity and probably
all the excitement one could wish.
The Humbert case will bring out
all the beauties of the French ju-
glo- Saxon as so extraordinary. That
the Humbert trial may not be a pro-
found puzzle 1t may be we'll to ex-
plain what the French are really try
ing to get at when they have the
case In court.
Offhand, it is little difficult to
understand why witnesses should
make stump speeches and why one
man should be called to tell what he
heard another man say and what
his general opinion is. anyhow But
France has no rules of evidence as
we understand them. Instead. the
object is to give the jury everything.
fact, opinion. hearsay. speculation
and what not. and then to ask for
verdict which will be a moral con-
viction though not necessarily based
on fact. Gentlemen" says the judge
in effect. you have heard all that
everybody knows and what every
body thinks, now as honest men.
what do you Think" Then the
jury decides by majority vote,
Unanimity is not required.
Another popularity of French tri-
ais is the 'confrontation." This oc-
ours when a witness for the prose-
cution is contradicted by a witness
for the defense. In this case the
first witness is put on the stand with
the second one to thrash 1t out. They
call each other liars, wave their arms
about, sometimes spit in each others
faces and engage in free fight, but
the jury. by looking on. is supposed
to determine which is telling the
truth. These episodes make "A trial
much more interesting than the dull
American or English procedure, with
only one witness at time, The

"A suit which laboring men and
Particularly members of labor unions
will watch with interest has been
commenced In the superior court.
The suit is entitled Maxwell & Hol-

and Is but another chapter in an af-
fair which led Charles Gaebler to
bring suit against the same parties a
short time ago.
Gaebler was n member of the Spo-
kane Master Plumbers association
and was in the employ of Maxwell &
Hollingsbury. For some cause Gaeb-
Ter was blacklisted by the associa-
ton and his employers were com
PEELED to discharge him. For this
blacklisting Gaebler brought suit for
damages against the members of the
association.
Later 1t was alleged that Maxwell

Gaebler of the doings of tho associa-
ton and they We're compelled to
withdraw from the association, their
names were placed on the blacklist
