accept no quarter to expose them
selves as much as possible IN the
battlefield. and to keep as far as pos
sible an exactly accurate account OF
the number of 'heathen' they have
killed. To slaughter race which
rejects Christ they believe to be a
pious act; and many Of them dread
any conclusion of peace which would

REVEALED THE Truth.
How the Facts in a viii Forgery
Case Were Brought
Out.

London Mall
In his capacity as judge Lord
Prampton always insisted on the i'm
r,- ative demand that every case
should be investigated in its minutest
details. Upon small points the
great issue of a case depends. AS
exemplifying this Lord Brampton
cites a curious case that came be-
fore him on the western circuit:
"A solicitor was charged with for
ging the will of lady, which de-
vised to him considerable amount
of her property, but as the case pro-
ceeded it became clear to me that the
will was signed after the lady's
death and then with dry pen held
in the hand of the deceased by the
accused himself while he guided it
over a signature which he had craft
lily forged. A woman was present
when this was done, and as she had
attested the execution of the will she
was a necessary witness for the
prisoner, and in examination in chief
she was very clear indeed that it was
bv the hand of the deceased that the
will was signed and that she herself
had seen the deceased sign it. Sus-
picion only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman went
into the box, and then scene high
iv dramatic occurred in her cross ex-
animation. After getting an admls-
sion that the will was signed in the
bed. with the prisoner near by. the
woman was asked:
Did he put the pen into her
hand?'
Yes
And assist her while she signed
the will:?'
Yes
How did he assist her?
BY raising her in the bed and
supporting her when he had raised
her.
Did he guide her hand?'
No
Did he touch her hand at ALL?
I think he did just touch her
hand
When he did touch her hand
was she dead?'
AT this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to fall
ter and fell in a swoon on the floor
and so revealed the truth, which she
had come to deny"
