Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.

AdOlph Beck Served a Term of
Five Years Imprisonment for
Another Mans Crime
BLAME PLACED ON the JUDGE.
Excluded Evidence for Delense-- Home
Office knew Accused Was Not the
Real Criminal

London, Nov 25.--The report Of the
committee Of inquiry in the case OF
Adolph Beck Who Cor the crimes Of
William Thomas, alias John Smith,
served a term OF five years mprson-
ment IN England on the charge Of oh.
tanning money and Jewels from women
under false protenses, places practically
tho entire blame for the miscarriage OF
Justice upon the judge, Sir Forest Full
ton, who excluded from Becks trial In
1895 all evidence favorable TO the ac.
cused, and who refused TO state a case
for the consideration Of a higher court.
The report exonerates the police and
other officials from an charges Of con-
spiracy, but finds that the action OF the
home office In dealing with the case was
defective owing to lack Of legal training
ON the part Of the subordmatcs.
The committee remarks that It Is an
extraordinary fact that hi the trial Of
1904 the innocent man, Beck. was con
vlcted through the ignorance Of the
police and public prosecutor OF the ma
terial fact known to the home office and
the prison authorities, that Beck and
smith were not the same persons. as al
legged by the prosecution and points out
the necessity for bringing the different
public officials concerned into such co..
ordination as to make the information
acquired by one available to all.
