John Coyne, chronic vagrant, was
sentenced tc four months imprison-
ment after he had declared with en-
phasis that Judge Cabaniss would

For every dollar of the six he was
accused of stealing. Frank Tiernan
will serve a month in the County Jail
The case was heard by Judge Cabaniss
and the complaining witness was Mrs.
Abbie Tully of 25 Ritch street. She was
reluctant to prosecute, because the
man was making a sociable call at her
residence when the money was stolen.
After his Honor had complimented
Mrs Tully as the most artistic for
getter" that had ever appeared before
him. her twelve-year-ol daughter was
called to the stand and testified so
strongly that the defendant pleaded
guilty. Mrs. Tully seemed to- be more
grieved by Mr.. Tiernan's breach of So
cial etiqucste than by her loss of the
six dollars.

Buchanan accused of wilfuly poisoning his

caused her death 1t evidence, however
that he had given her teaspoonfus of the medicine
whereas the directions called for only one Asked
why he had done this, he said that it a child's
teaspoon and the only teaspoon which he had in his
apartment He claimed that two teaspOonfuls adj
ministered in this way, the teaspoon belonging to
chd's set of knife, fork and spoon, were equal
to ordinary teaspoonful.
In preparing this case sent for and obtained a
Chids teaspoon, but nevertheless the vital point
in the case escaped me, it escaped the witness and
all the Others who actively engaged in the trial
The statement of the witness appeared to be in
vincible There among the jury however,

manufacturing trade They knew what did not

important witnesses one of them his clerk and
the other a friend with responsible occupation,

special care in its custody than would have been
accorded a document of no special Importance The
difference between the natural action under the
cunlstances and the actual action so great and
so emphatic that it left doubt whatever in the
minds of the jury

that all the mutituCnOus situations which arise

human nature, whose variations are infinite the
personal equation varies greatly that reduction
of cross examination to exact science is impossible.
The best do is to follow the general nductve
rule of advancing science, all the facts and do
best to apprehend the general laws far they
be formulated. But this Is an important branch
of the general philosophy of law and a branch in
which much work remains to be homework which,
by joint effort, would produce greatly needed and
valuable result
The difficulty which lies in the way is the personal
equation in witnesses. The unexpected is always
happening. In the Buchanan the defendant
found guilty and forfeited his life through
simple careless untruth which escaped all the lawyers

COMMANDANT JAN LOUW, the R7g
| Boer officer who refused to lay @O@
~ down his arms when his fellow
countrymcn surrendered the British l.
and who fled to the Longbcrg Mountains
the borders of German West Africa with his band
of bugher fighters has been successfully resisting the
combined English and German forces in South Africa
for more than two years.
In June, 1902 when the Boer army capitulated
Louw fed with only about three hundred men. Within
the first year, however, this number increased
to two thousand and to-day he is said have a com
bined force of eight thousand sturdy warriors under
his command Many Beers still believe that their
country be reclaimed, and many of them look
Louw the who vii start the rebellion.
There exists an understanding among Beers and their
sympathizers that the uprising will be in 1000
and it is also stated that fifteen thousand have
agreed to respond to the Commandment IS call
Louw's position in South Africa is peculiar.
He is German territory. and it Is known that
the English Government has made many urgent
requests to the German Emperor to have these stub
born Boer fighters driven out OF German West Africa,
but to avail For the past year the negro tribes
in this German possession have been Wagng serious
rebellion against the German military and almost
impregnably ensconced in the border mountains.
This West African rebellion is the key the entire
situation, and 1t Is surprising that comparatively
little is known the United States about it In the
German Colony there two hundred fifty thousand
native Africans -Bartose, Barolongs and Bonde-
swartz and it about 1903 that the last-named
created the first disturbance
In the operations of the Beers in Cape Colony
General French had fifty thousand troops placed
at his disposal among whom were thousands of
Katflrs and Hotentots. These Hottentots of the
same tribe as the Bondelswartz O. T Villcrs young
friend whom met in Holland after the war and who
with General Smits against General French and
his troops, stated that the Beers had great difficulty
in coping with these African fighters
Having thus been engaged to fight against the Beers
a spirit of enmty toward the white man in general
seems to have been engendered among them, and
extended to all branches of the tribe Thus the Bonded
swartz with some twelve thousand warriors have
caught the infection of rebellion against their Euro
pean rulers This alone be the cause of the
uprising and 1t points to greater difficulties.
The expense of the campaign is an important
consideration. and although the German Imperial
Government voted ten million marks early in the wear
with which to carry on the war i feel certain that if
