CIRCUIT COURT TUESDAY
Regular April Term viii Be Busy
and important One.
MURDER CASE WILL BE HEARD

AS Wen rs oIoSo VI SuAV
Breach of Promise Interesting
Case Heard Here Tuesday.
The regular April term Of the Berk-
eley Circuit court will begin on Tues
day of next week, when the grand
jury will decide upon the indict-
ments. The session promises to be a
long and important one. as several big
cases are on the docket. among them
being the recent murder, two breach
of promise suits, and others OF more
or less importance.
The case that will perhaps attract
the most attention will be the trial OF
the Cliffords for the murder OF jacob
Turner. A prominent attorney stated
today that he expected to see both men
indicted for murder in the first de-
gree, AS well as for assault with in
tent to kill. carving deadly weapons,
ebc., all in connection with the shoot
ing ARRAY of Thursday last. Interest
in this case among the cclored people
has not abated to any extent. and IL
is said that additional counsel will
be employed by the relatives and
friends of of the man to prosecute
the two men charged with the killing.
Attorney Emmert has been engaged
by the state to assist States ATTORNEY
Noll, and it is probable that two
other lawyers will also be in the case
on that side. The defense will be
conducted by Faulkner. Walker q

Men in Africa. and especially in
east central Africa, believe that their
women are their interiors, and many
centuries ago, says the Chicago Tri-
bune, they made o law that has
worn itself into a custom that women
must acknowledge this by always
kneeling when they meet q man.
Duff Macdonald, who spent many
years as missionary in that coun-
try, say that African women hold a
most degraded position and are
looked upon pretty generally as
beasts OF burden capable Of doing
all the hard work. When q women
meets . man. be it her husband or a
stranger. q home or on the road. she
Is expected TO "taidiwala''-that is,
to kneel and clap. her. hands to the
lord OF creation as he passes. AL
though a woman may have slaves
OF her own. she observes this GUS
tom whenever she meets a man on
the highway.
Macdonald adds: Whenever we
saw q woman go out other way with
the intention OF kneeling before us,
though she carried hundred weight
on her head, knowing that she
would have to get up with it, we
shouted, You are losing your
way; this 10 the path and she took
it, glad that she might dispense
with this custom"
Certain it is that if the African
woman kneels before a stranger or
slave she prostrates herself most
humbly before her husband, her
lord and master. He is her father,
and she is his child; he commands,
and she obeys; he may inflict pun.
ishment, and she accepts it.
The title OF father" is giving TO
all old people. A man of thirty will
say Il am only q child; ask the old
man."
The woman mustsubm;t, OF course.
She is her husband s chattel; be has
bought her for two skins OF bucks.
and this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them in payment for
debts.
IL a girl is not a first wife she
counts for little, as these Africans
usually have one chief wife and three
or four minor wives. A man who is
married few years is expected 10
have junior wives. The chief wife
has the superintendent OF the others
and looks after the household. The
punishment she infiicts for laziuess
is to Danish the junior wife from her
meals until hunger brings her to
her senses. Ifa junior wife is OBJ
streperous she is put in a slave
stock.
The authority of g chief wife is not
a matter to jest with, II a junior
wife gets unruly the whipping post
is made use OF. This does not an
noy her lord, for African men have
little sentiment for their wives and
feel none for their junior wives.
They are his chattels, having the
same value as his cattle, perhaps
less. When a mau is pressed for
money he usually sells his wife and
not his cattle. He expects them tc
cultivate the soil and cut down the
trees, and when he finds time or has
the inclination helps them.

have come upon the family, and it was
hard to follow his testimony. Miss Ida

handwriting of DIR. Koch. The sheets
were offered in evidence.
On cross examination the witness
stated that the defendant had never

about "a" and "m" to say whether or
not it is like Kocn's The lower part
of the "p" is shorter than many peo-

The defense objected to this unless
exhibit 81, which was writing on note

the court sustained the objection.
Gen. Childs stated that the position
of the state is that the handwriting
must be conceded in order to be proper

On redirect, the witness stated that
the record book pages were taken from
the books in the presence of the jury
at New Ulm.
On second cross eXaminatio the
witness said that the sheets were torn
out by the defendants counsel with

Handwriting Expert.

Prof Charles G.. Curtiss of the Curtiss
Business college, Minneapolis, was call
ed. Have been teacher of writing for
forty years, since 1874 in the twin
cities. Have made handwriting a study,
and made the comparison of handwrit-
ing study a great many times the
witness was shown the pages from the
record books of the defendant and ex-
amined them Saw them at the former
trial at New Ulm, and also yesterday.
The witness was shown the word "Sam-
pie" on the bottle of the label. He had
also previously examined that.
"From your study of handwriting and
the experience which you have mad in
comparing handwriting, are you or are
you not competent to compare hand
writing?"

and on the label, state whether you are

they were written by the same party?"

estate whether or not the same per-
son wrote them, in your opinion"
"In my opinion the hand that wrote
the words on the sheets was not the
hand that wrote the word Sample on
the BOTTLE"
| Prof. Curtiss gave his reasons in de-
tail for believing that they were not
the same. The sheets were passed to
the jurymen to inspect while Prof. Cur
tiss was speaking. The expert illus
trated his remarks by making letters on
a note book. He also produced mag
nifying glass for the use of the Jurors
Prof. Curtiss said that he found the
word on the bottle very much blur
red by ink placed upon it since the New
Ulm trial, and a glass was therefore
needed.
Juror Stewart asked whether the
exhibits could be taken into the Jury
ROOM
| The court replied that that was an
undetermined question.
Professor, do you find anything in
the handwriting on the bottle that
would have you to believe that it was
in the handwriting of the defendant? 2"
asked Mr.. Pfau
Nothing whatever" replied the wit
ness.
"Have you examined the exhibits
carefully with the glass?"
| Carefully, all of them"
Gen. Childs cross examined thorough

loops, curves, ETC., of letters in the ac-
knowledge writing of the defendant be-
ing the same as in the letters of the
word Sample" Prof. Curtiss some
times admitted similarity, but generally
did not.
Professor, did you see the book that
the pages were taken from" asked
Gen. Childs.
Eyes, sir" replied the witness.

out?"
