The chief witness against John Con-

was the accused's hat, which was
found beside the corpse. The police
man who found the hat was cross-ex-
amined thus by Daniel O'Connell:
You swear the hat now in my hand
is the identical hat you found beside
the body of the murdered man?" he
asked the policeman. II do" You
know 1t to be the prisoners hat?"
II do" You knew it from the name

the hat and proceeding to spell slowly
John C-o-n-n-o-r." II did" replied
the policeman. Nov. my lord and

yourselves how much this mans oath
is WORTH" said O'Connell handing up
the hat to the Judge. There's no

Use Of Lions Name.

The lions name, like the human
hand, serves distinct use. The lion.
without II. would soon die out. The
Jungle is the lions hunting ground.
Here he stalks the buffalo and other
such creatures. leaping on their backs
to slay them They tear madly away.
and in their flight strive to scrape on
the lion against tree trunks and
boughs. But his name protects him.
Without It the bumps and knocks he
receives In that wild ride would In
fallibly make him fall unconscious to
the ground. In fighting his name also
protects the lion. safeguarding his
throat against the longest. sharpest
claws.
