TREE AS INQUIsITOR.
Used I'm Madagascar to Learn If
Prisoners Were Guilty or Not.
Tro,,o 4ta Toledo


From the Toledo Blade.
One of the most deadly trees in the
world is to be found in Madagascar,
where 1t is known as the tangen tree.
It's scientific name is tanguinia veneni-
fera, the latter word signifying poison
Gus. BY the natives it is regarded with
a sort of horror, and for excellent rea-
sons. For centuries 1t was the custom
to use the fruit of the tangen for the
purpose of ascertaining whether GRIM
inals charged with grave offenses were
guilty or not.
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court, and the judge
thereupon solemnly handed him a fruit
from a tAngen tree and told him that
if he ate it and it did him no harm
he would be considered innocent, but
that if it killed him he would be con-
sidered guilty. AS there is a great deal
of poison in the fruit 1t can readily be
seen that very few, if, indeed, any,
were able to pass through this ordeal
unscathed.
1t is said that some criminals who
had great political influence or consid-
cradle wealth managed to escape
through the connivance of the judges;
but, on the other hand, the criminal
records tell of many cases in which
prisoners died a horrible death very
soon after they had eaten the nox-
ious fruit. More civilized methods of
adjudication now prevail in Madagas-
car, but though this barbarous Gus
tom is obsolete, the tangen tree is ,e-
garded with almost as much aversion
as it ever was. A proof of this may
be found in the fact that a French
naturalist recently tried to obtain some
branches and fruit of the trees. but,
though he asked several natives to
aid him in the search. he was unable
to obtain the slightest assistance from
any of them.

question of the number of juryInen Sc
lected by the county commissioners at
their regular meeting in January was
raised. AS soon as the matter was
brought to my attention, the states at
torney and myself began a thorough
investigation and found that the COM
missioners had drawn 312 names to
serve as jurymen. This finding clear
ly made the jury an illegal one, and
ordered an adjourned term for Mon
day, when a special jury will be Sc
lected, and all parties indicted week
before last will be re-indicted. There
has been no harm done whatever, on
ly that DeSoto county will have TO pay
the extra expense for her commission
ers not proceeding according to law in
