that an epidemic of insanity is raging

However. it fails to note as an example
the scene of pandemonium that reign

20 quote d part of this sermon, as fol-
lows:
Thus the murderer comes to have
great faith in you, O honorable gentle
court he detests. There are the wit
nesses who saw him commit the foul
deed there are the relatives of his
victim: the widow, whose protector
can never return to her: the children
calling in vain for their father. There
is the judge, before whose stern and
searching eye he Quails: the jury
whose verdict he anticipates without
hope. AS he cOnfrOntS the crowded
court room he feels that there is not a
soul there who does not think him
guilty and wish to see him punished.
you will not see him: he is glad Of that
and he rejoices. too, as he remembers
that you will not even try whether he
is guilty. as the juries are doing, for if
you should he would despair. No. he
understands that what you will do
will be to ascertain whether the law
yers have not asked too many ques-
tons or said too many things in their
speeches, or whether the judge has not
given a wrong definition to a word. or
whether the clerk has not made a mis-
take in moistening the official seal of
the court with sponge instead of
following the old and we'll established
practice of licking it with his tongue.
He hears the verdict Of guilty. and the
sentence of the judge that he is to be
hanged by the neck until he is dead.
with Indifference: he goes back to his
cell feeling quite comfortable and does
not lose an hours rest that night. His
faith is justified( as in the course of
from you: Reversed and remanded
for new trial."
This is Il burlesque. yet to the lay
man it is little more of a burlesque
than the decision of the Minnesota
supreme court in the AmeS case,
which seems to be that the de-
PENDANT was guilty. but was not proved
so in the way demanded by legal eti-
quette.

colorado resulted today from a
fire which broke out at the month
OF the Bullion tunnel, through
which the Smuggler Union Min :
is worked, and which filled the
mine with deadly gases and
smoke. 1t is impossible to give
even an approximate estimate of
the loss of life, but it is believed
1t will reach nearly, if not quite
100. Twenty-Five are known to
have persisted.
Fire started early this morning
from defective flue in the bunk
house at the mouth of the tunnel
If quickly communicated with
the other buildings. The dense
smoke from the burning conveer
house, which was satu. ated with
oil began pouring into the tunnel,
which with the shafts of the mine
acted as a chimney.
The day shift hae just gone on
duty and before they could be
warned of their danger the levels
and slopes were filled with gases.
Seventeen of the twenty-five
bodies found were on the seventh
level. Between7s and 90 men
were working on the ninth level
and this has not yet been explod-
ed. On account of the gas and
smoke, these levels could not be
entered because of the danger of
suffoCation for twelve hours after
the flames started.
The day shift of 200 had enter
ed the mine and reached their
stations when the fire broke out.
