1HE ACID IHRowER.

Again comes news Of the dastardly
crime of the acid thrower. He has
taken his victim unawares, giving no
sign of his foul intention. He always
aims at the face, in the hope that
blindness, or at least some very pain
full and humiliating disagreement, will
follow. He does not aim to kill. May
be he does not possess the nerve neces-
sary in committing cool and delib-
crate murder. At any rate, he wants
his victim to live and to suffer always,
and he hopes that he himself will not
get severe or lasting punishment.
Such inhuman method OF playing
even" as this would be contemplate
II 1t were not, horrible. The acid
thrower is like the nation which would
poison the soldiers Of the enemy in
stead of lighting them like men. It Is
the lowest and most revolving concep-
ton of retribution known.
The case at Cleveland Is even worse
than the average. A woman with feline
ferocity will sometimes use acid to re-
taliate for her wrongs. but Patrick
McCarty added cowardice to his crime
when he attacked Mrs. Anna Harlem.
Punishment for the acid thrower
generally is all too mild, but it is good
to know that this acid fiend got twen
ty years In prison on an equality with
the man who commits manslaughter.
Mrs. Harlem was completely blinded
by the acid. and her affliction is so ter
rible that she would probably have
preferred death to the injury. The
Judge at Cleveland is to be commended
for viewing the acid thrower in the
proper judicial perspective.

JUDGE BAKER
 FOUND GUILTY
Prominent Howard County Man Given One Year for Perjury Echo of Old Howard County Bank
 Failure.

One of the most iu eresiing criminal trials had at the present term of the 0evier county circuit court being held at De Queen, was that of the state against Judge H. N. Baker of Nashville, Ark, on charge of perjury, who was convicted and sentenced to serve one year in the peuiteu- tiary.
 The origin of this case dates back to the failure Of the How- ard County Bank, which occurred in 1904. In February of that year, J. H. Skillem, receiver for the bank, brought suit against MT. Baker for $56S. 30, due on note. MT. Baker took a change of venue to Polk county and the case went to trial at the Septem- Der, 1904, term of circuit court. Baker produced receipt signed by Terry, ex cashier Of the bank, showing note given IS an accom- modation. When B iker did this, plaintiff dismiss Il case.
 At the April 1900 term of the Polk county circuit court Baker was indicted for perjury in con nection with the note deal with the bank for false swearing as 10 time and date note was given.
 A change of venue was taken to Sevier county.
 In the trial the state proved that Baker had secured his re- ceipt from Cashier Terry In old Mexico, nearly two years after the failure or the bank, and upon this showing the jury convicted the man.
 The attorneys of MT. Baker gave notice of appeal and the case will be carried to the Su- preme court.
 Hon. Hal L. Nor wood of this city was one of the attorneys for the prosecution in this case. Mr. Baker has been very prominent man in Howard county, being judge at one time.
