ACQUITTED OF CRIME.

(From the Kansas City Times. J
He that is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stone. .
Rush l.. Fisette, a Rosedale
lawyer, read this from a Bible in
Justice Cook s court yesterday.
He was defending Roy Jackson,
Earl Pollock, George White, and
Thomas Collins, sixteen year old
boys, on trial for stealing water
melons.
Now" said the attorney,
closing the Bible with a snap,
If there is a man on this jury
who never stole a watermelon
when he was boy, let him vote
for the conviction of these boys.
Vote to give them the limit Of
the lava jail sentence. y
The jury was out five minutes.
The boys were acquitted. Thomas
L. lizard had them arrested. He
has farm one mile south of
Rosedale.

MORE ABOUT THE RAILROADS

While the railr0a 5, as hereto
fore shown, are drawing their
six thousand dollars per mile,
each year, from the revenues
and resources OF the country.
they are also using their vast
Influence in building up trusts:
in building up one section of the
country a n d tearing down
another; in building up one in
dustry and destroying another;
in corrupting the legislatures,
the executives and the courts
and in moulding public senti-
ment in favor of their high
handed methods.
We have seen many cases tried
in our own courts where our own
citizens suing for actual damages
were either outraged and denied
any compensation whatever,
when simple justice demanded
reasonable compensation, or the
verdict so low as to shock all
sense of justice.
We knew one man, whose leg
was completely mangled by the
cars, who brought suit for fifteen
thousand dollars for his dam
ages. The proof showed that
he had fingered between life and
death for four long months; that
his leg was amputated the sec
ond time; that he suffered great
mental anguish and physical
pain; that he was manned for
life; disfgured and ruined; that
his actual earning capacity was
lessened more than five thousand
dollars and that all of this had
befallen him on account of the
negligence of the railroad en-
ployes.
Yeta jury of his neighbors
and fellow-citizens, men who
were liable to suffer the same
wrong themselves, gave the pitt.
full sum of fifteen hundred
dollars for his damages.

Quoted by Ed. Cross, of Hope,

Of the ablest young ministers in
Arkansas. That he is and has
been q great student of the
Bible is demonstrated in every
sermon that he delivers. His
work is all based upon the Book,
and he is ever ready to cite yoU
to the chapter and verse tomake

pulpit.

Weldy Case Remanded Back.

In the Arkansas supreme court
last Saturday the case of Rail-
road VS.. Weldy, appeal from
Nevada circuit court, Justice
McCulloch delivered the opinion
of t h court as follows:
Suit by the administrators of
the estate of one Weldy, who
was killed while Workin , for the
railroad company and lumber
company as engineer to recover
damages on account of his death.
Negligence Of the defendants is
charged in allowing the track to
get out of repair, thus causing
the engine to be derailed. The
theory of the defendants is that
the cog or pinions on the wheels
of the engine slipped and caused
the derailment. There was also
testimony tending to show that
Weldy knew 70 the slipping of
the cogs, and that it was his
duty to fix them, which he fail
ed to do. The court refused to
give an instruction, telling the
jury that if the accident was
caused by the slipping Of cogs
and that Weldy had information
of the condition, and that it was
his duty to repair the defect, the
plaintiff could not recover. This
obstruction was proper n q
should have been given, and for
error in refusing it the judgment
is reversed and the cause re-
manded for a new trial. y

Prosecuting Attorney Rhoten
brought suit against several
Cotton Oil Companies, and last
week they compromised by pay
ing 81, 10000 each into the
Pulaski county treasury. This is
a confession that they are in a

the Arkansas and the Buckeye,

A mother case, where n e
plaintiffs husband was killed by
the negligence Of the railroad
people, in which it was shown
that the expectancy of life of the
deceased was over 30 years, and
his earnings amounted to S75. 90
per month. According to this,
which was not denied or disput-
ed, the plaintiff would be entitl-
ed to recover the sum of So, 987. :
SO. The verdict was for 81, 500.
These are but samples of YER
diets rendered by our own citi-
zens. which show that these vast
corporations are not strictly held
amenable to the law in our own
state courts.
Nevada county is particularly
afflicted with this habit of render
ing small yerdicts, when they
are against railroads. Often the
jury returns verdict for the
railroad when in fact they after
wards laugh and admit that they
were liable. And this, too, when
it does not hurt the railroad one
bit to render a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff for the lawful and
reasonable damages.
We have seen cases tried
where it looked like a jury of
good men would seem to resolve
every doubt against their own
neighbor, and in favor Of the
railroads, when the law placed
the doubt the other way. and
find for the railroads, when the
cost was a hundred fold more
burdensome to the plaintiff than
the whole amount sued for would
be to the railroads.
The railroads can always be
depended upon to get all that
they are entitled to; they have
attorneys who are specialists,
having the one study OF railroad
Iaw. with the best of libraries.
stenographers, co-counsel, and
every thing that money can buy:
and the attorney, thus equipped,
comes in contact with an at
rorney representing the plaintiff,
who perhaps has had but little
experience; has devoted his time
to every conceivable kind of
case, criminal law, contracts,
torts, and every thidg from
carrying a pistol to murder, and
from a divorce to the most COM
plicated chancery proceeding.
By this means the railroad
starts i'll with big advantage,
besides S unwarranted in
tiuence with courts and juries.
We hope to see the time come
that If man proves that the
railroad has damaged him ten
thousand dollars, the juries will
not hesitate to give him ten
thousand dollars, and will not
cut it down to one fourth that
sum.
