leadsn.Eooted Justice.

That is an amazing instance OF the
deliberation of leaden-footed justice
in a western state-the death in
prison, at the moss-grown age Of 80
years, Of a criminal who had been
waiting eighteen years for q new
trial, So the story goes. One would
think il " only Incredible. but i'm
possible. Yet we must not forget
that in various parts Of this country
Americans, in so many other things
restless, impetuous and impatient,
tolerate almost without a murmur
amazing waits in the proceedings of
the courts.

THEORY OF LIES ORIGIN
mated at North Pole-Man Came
From Primates Through Fire.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 2S.-Dr. J. +.
Workman outlined his theory of the origin
of human life in a lecture in which he re-
viewed his researches covering years, up
setting both ORTHODOXY and former scien-
tifc beliefs. He advocated three distinct
theories more or less revolutionary:
First-All life began at the north pole,
Second-The primates, including apes,
monkeys and lenurs, who lived at the
| pole, were directly the ancestors Of the
human race.
human beings took place at the same
time and largely because OF the effect of
the discovery Of fire.
DR.. Workman two years ago took up the
Investigations of the late Professor Marsh
In paleontology and visited Wyoming,
where he discovered perfect skulls Of pri-
mates similar to those found in northern
Europe and Madagascar. His theory is
| that these were in the tropical zone ex-
tending around the north pole, as similar
skulls We're found in America, Europe and
Africa.
DR.. Workman traced the development Of
the cerebral hemispheres, the prehensile
eXtremities, the short arms and the erect
spine in the primates, indicating the evo-
luton of the prinates into the human
race. The next step was, he alleged, the
