HIS BLONDE AFFINITY
RAN WHEN WIFE CAME.
Husband Was Not Quick Enough, How
ever, and He Got It Hard
and Heavy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Matt Miner, an
employee OF the Bridge Department. is
missing from his home at 1865 Tenth street,
Brooklyn. TIC a reporter, who called at
the fiat today to inquire about him, his
wife said:
Tell the police they won't have any
trouble recognizing him. When they meet
a little man with two black eyes and a
split lip, who's lame in one leg and carry
Ing one arm In a sling-that's my husband.
He may be in the company of a skinny
woman from over in Borough Park"
"What will the woman look like?" asked
the reporter.

rehectively moistened the palm Of her
right hand and felt of her biceps, IF l
see her first she won look like anything. "
II you had seen Mrs. May Miner and
kheard the way she said 1t you might well
believe her, for she is a trifie over six
feet in height and weighs close on to 240
pounds. She Is 80 years old. Her hus-
band. the missing Matthew, is ten years
older and looks it. He Is small of stature
and slight of frame and he wears side
whiskers. At least he did wear them. In
the excitement of last evening he may
have lost all or a part Of them.
Mrs. Miner has been spending the sum

yellow hair had been entertained at her
house. She demonstrated with her hus-
band about this.
But it seems to have lone no good, for
after he came to he left the house. Last
night, feeling depressed, Mrs. Miner de-
cided to go with a party Of friends to the
Coney Island carnival to see King John

said In a sprightly way:

Mrs. Miner got off the train. The guard
had closed the gate, but she prevailed
on him to open 1t. He will probably re-
cover. AS she hit the platform the blonde
affinity saw her coming. Lucky affinity!
She just naturally threw on the high
speed clutch and disappeared down the
station steps with a low whistllng sound.

HAD HOLE IN HEART
DESPITE 1T. WOMAN KEPT
ALIVE LONG TIME.
Doctors Surprised at Revelations of
Autopsy-Say 1t Is One of Most Re-
markable Cases in Medical Annals.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Coroner's
Physician Philip F. o'Hanlon. acting
under orders from Coroner Julius Har-
burger, made an autopsy yesterday in
the presence of nearly the entire staff
of the New York Hospital on the body
of Florence Stevens, 80 years cid, who
was taken in an unconscious condition
from her home at 126 West Twenty
fifth street to the hospital late on
Wednesday afternoon.
The autopsy revealed a rupture of
the heart, which, the physicians and
surgeons said. SO far as they knew,
was without a precedent in medical an
nails, and showed the wonderful at
tempts of nature to heal a wound
which has hiterto been believed to be
fatal,
The autopsy was ordered because
there had been some talk of morphine
poisoning. When admitted to the hos
pital the woman was comatose, with
slow, deep breathing, followed by a
quick and forcible respiration. The
pericardium, or sack enclosing the
heart, was found to be distended to
three times the heart size, and in 1t
was a large clot of blood. This clot
was "organized," that is, had formed
itself into a kind of muscular tissue.
Near the apex, or bottom, of the heart
was a rupture in the walls of the organ
into which the index figure might have
been inserted.
Across this opening and surround
ing it in the pericardial sack was Il net
work of this "orga1ized'' clot with
which nature had tried to step the
hole n had succeeded to the extent
of preserving life for many months,
Until the woman vas finally stricken
enough of the blood having finally
leaked through the impoverished bar
riers to cause death-she went about
her work in apparent health aside from
what appeared to be i slight predispo-
sition to dropsy.
Making the case more strange was
the discovery hat in addition to this
aneurism of the heart the woman had
several other diseases, any one of
which in most cases causes quick death.
"I have made many thousands of au-
topsies and have seen much to make
me often stop in bewilderment," said
DR.. O'Hanlon. Long ago l realized
what a marvellous work is this body of
ours and the disclosures Which, autop-
sizes make are very wonderful But this
case simply astounded me. Here was a
woman with a terrible wound in her
heart living under conditions which
science had taught us to believe was
impossible. 1t was a revelation to all
of u.s."

A COMMEMORATE RULING.

In deciding d case of but little gen.
eral interest the other day the Utah
supreme court laid down a most COM
mendable principle. The court said, in
effect, that hereafter mere technical
errors of minor Importance would not
be considered as constituting sufficient
ground for reversing a lower court, pro-
III the court of original Jurisdiction.
This is a principle of which the general
public will thoroughly approve.
There has been latterly great and
growing impotence with the handling
of cases appealed from lower to higher
courts. In a great many instances,
and some could be cited in Utah, YER
diets have been reversed because of the
most trivial errors. These errors did
not in any way affect the finding of the
court below, the rights of no defendant.
either criminal or civil, were jeopar-
died. And so it has been with higher
courts generally. And particularly is
this true of criminal cases.
1t is a poor lawyer indeed that can
not find technical errors in the proceed
ings of trial courts. Courts are but
human, whether they be great courts or
small, and they are prone to err. But
their main purpose is to do substantial
justice to litigants and to those whose
lives or liberty are placed in jeopardy
When that substantial justice has been
done it is not for the higher court TO
undo it. Many man is free today who
should be in prison or in a dishonored
grave because his lawyers were clever
enough to find technical errors, and the
courts of appeal were weak enough to
regard them as cause for reversal. The
reason for the establishment of courts
of appeal was to prevent the doing of
injustice, and so eager have some of
them been to prevent injustice to GRIM
inaI defendants that they have done in
justice to society.
The public viii await further decis-
ions of the Utah supreme court with
much interest. 1t will expect the court

Where the guilt of defendant has
been conclusively demonstrated in the
trial court the supreme court will not

prosecution to inquire as to the color
OF the eyes of the defendants uncle by
marriage. Justice will be done to So
ciety as well as to criminals.
