Plan When One Juror Becomes Sud-
denly I'll. fE

Plan When One Juror Becomes Sud-
denly III. ~
The mistrial in the Man" Patter-
son case, due to the illness of juror,
Is a reminder that this state Is en-
tirely without insurance in these ex-
pensive and difficult proceedings. II
Is safe to say that the expense OF
the trial that has just come to
naught was at least $2O,000-that that
amount Of money is as completely
wasted as II 1t had been cast into the
East river. All that has been done
has to be done over again.
It is not a very business-like meth
cd Of procedure. The state has had
a good many mishaps Of this sort
the death disqualification or illness OF
a Juror and the consequent voiding OF
the trial, but 80 far has not managed
to profit any by the experience.
The law Of the land Is that jury
in a criminal case shall consist Of
twelve men. When one Of these men
drops out that spoils the whole thing,
and it is necessary to begin at the be-
ginning and draw an entirely new jury
to say nothing Of hearing all the evil
dence over again. The case cannot
go on with a short jury. nor can the
place Of the missing one be filled.
1t would be interesting to know
how much money the state has spent
in these futile proceedings. Big trials
cost enormously. The expense OF
prosecuting Roland Molineux Is said
to have been over 100000. II juror
had happened to sicken on the last
day of the trial it would all have had
to be done over.
In California they have devised
some legislation that provides the In
surance New York lacks in these
matters.
After a costly experience bill was
put through the California legislature
providing that, on motion Of the dis
trict attorney, a thirteenth juror should
be chosen at the same time and In
the same manner as the other twelve.
This thirteenth juror sits with the
others. II no accident occurs he has
nothing to do; takes no part In the de-
liberations and casts no vote. II,
however, for any reason, one of the
original jurors is unable to continue
the substitute takes his place. The
thirteenth juror has heard all the tes-
timony and is fully classified.
So, whenever the district attorney
out there realizes that protracted
and exhausting trial is coming on, ne
inyokes the rule of the thirteenth ju-
ror and repeatedly the utility and
wisdom Of the plan have been demon
strated.-New York American.

The two listeners breathed sigh Of

Tale of a Lawyer Who Made Seven

Of.
Lawyers shape curious defences
for their clients in many instances"
said a limb of the law. Il suppose we
are all familiar with the old story OF
the school reader, where the lawyer
advised his client to play crazy, and
go: a sleeps baa for his fee. I was
reminded Of the fact by recent pub
lication in an English journal on the
subject Of Curious Defences.'
"One excellent instance Is supplied
here in what is known as 'Codds
Puzzle Codd was defending a client
accused Of stealing a duck. He sent
up seven defences: Q) The accused
bought the duck and paid for It; 2)
he found it; (3) it was given to him;
(4) it flew into his garden; (5) 1t was
put in his pocket while he slept; 6
and Z are not recorded, but some one
suggested that there never was any
duck at all. The accused was acqult-
ted, not because they chose any par
ticular defence, but because they did
not know which to choose, and 30
gave the prisoner the benefit OF the
doubt
There is a story told Of an Ameri-
can LAWYER Of note who, after hear
ing his clients story, asked him no"

client told the lawyer what he had'
and gave it to him. Now said the
lawyer you want me to advise you

YOU can clear yourself by jumping Out

THE SURRENDER AT APPoMATox
Confederate Officers Were Permitted
to Retain Their Side Arms.

to Retain Their Side Arms.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer.
The article headed Some Notable
Surrenders," in THE ENQUIRER OF the
2sth ult., is incorrect in stating that
Lee handed his sword to Grant at the
Appomatox court house" Such 1T
tie things fx themselves upon the
mind Of the public and are hard to
efface. We sometimes see In northern
histories. pictures of Lee handing over
his sword to Grant-this does much
to impress the incorrect idea upon a
schoolboy's mind.
The truth is, Lee never offered his
sword to Grant, nor did Grant de-
mand It. doubt II General Lee would
have given 1t up and General Grant
was too brave soldier himself to
ask 1t. The sword which Lee wore on
the morning Of the surrender was one
which had been presented to him by
the state Of Virginia. General Grant
remarked on the beauty Of 1t and
apologized to General Lee for appear
ing without wearing his own (GrantS
sword, stating that he had left 1t In
his baggage wagon. Lee replied by
saying that he was never without his.
After the war both generals made
public statements denying that popu-
lar rumor that Lees sword had been
offered in surrender.
AS a matter Of fact all Confederate
officers retained their side arms by
the terms Of surrender. The generals
did not meet IN the court house, but
at Mr.. McLeon's, house In the VII
lage.
In passing, 1t might be mentioned
that no more gallant tribute to Lees
strategy was given than that by Gen.
eral Meade Of the Federal army. Lee
knew Meade In the old u. 8. army and
when he met Meade on the morning
Of the surrender he remarked that the
Yankee general was getting gray.
Meade replied, Not years, but Gene
raj Lee himself has made me gray"

She had for Skagway sI passengers, including 2l from Juneau and Haines. Most of the Seattle pass engers are bound for points in the in- terior, including Atlin, Whitehorse, Alsek, Bullion, Dawson and American points on the lower Yukon.

It now looks as though Judge Alton B. Parker will be the democratic pres idential nominee. His candidacy has been endorsed by the leading demo- cratic senators and representatives in congress and Ex-President Cleveland, the New York Times, the New York Evening Post and the Brooklyn Eagle have approved of him. Among the conservatives in the party Tammany is now almost alone it's opposition, and it is believed that matters will be so ar ranged that Tammany will be in line before April IS. It is now claimed that this condition has been brought about by assurances made by New York's chief justice that Ex-Senator Hill will have no undue influence over him, either as a candidate or as a president, should he be successful at the polls.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD

The travel to the north this year Is better than it has been for many years. It is probably true that more people came north two years ago than are coming this year, but the travel that year included hundreds of laborers who came for the purpose C, working on the KIondike mines railway, which never materialized
 Those who are coming north this year are doing so in response to the de- mands of a constantly expanding min ing country and an ever increasing business development.
 This increased travel and the fact that every business house in SkagWay has done a better business thus far this year than it did during the same months of last year, notwithstanding that the year 1903 was an exceedingly prosperous one in this city, again eS- plodes the oft repeated assertion that the Canadian north and the Alaskan in- terior are waning as mining countries.
 It is true that much of the increase in business this spring is due to the new strikes in the AlSek and Bullion districts, but the figures will show that the traffic with the KlOndike, the American Yukon and the Atlin dis tricts are all progressing at pace that is decidedly refreshing to those who are in business iu this country.
