SAW THE GHOST.
A Story That Stood the Test Of .
Court of Law.

As a circumstan.ial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny Of a
court of law Booty's case is without a
parallel. The date given is 1858. when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for Sian
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said of her late husband
According to an extract from jour
nal produced in court. dated Friday,
May 10, 1857. the captain on that day
went ashore with a large party of
friends TO shoot rabbits upon Strombo
H. the island off Italy, which, from Its
ever burning crater, is called 'the
lighthouse of the Mediterranean" At
about $3.50 In the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed, Lord bless
me, the foremost Is old Booty. my
next door neighbor." They then van
ished In the flames, fact of which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return to
England he learned that "old Booty"
udu uleu just uDOut thc tiilc VI thc
strange occurrence at Stromboli. He
then made the remark which was the
subject of the action. that he "had
seen old Booty running into the flames
of hell pursued by the devil" Mrs.
Booty claimed f1,000 as damages, and
the case came on In the kings bench
before the chief justice. Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense, in addition
TO the testimony of Captain Barnaby
and his friends, old Booty's clothes
were brought into court and identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost man
who ran into the crater-even to the
peculiar buttons on the coat. The
Judge was so impressed by this evi-
dence that he said: Lord have mercy
upon me and grant that may never
see what you have seen. One, two or
three may be mistaken, but not thir-
ty." And so Booty's widow lost the
day. and the case remains, perhaps, as
the only judicially accepted ghost
story on record.-London Chronicle.

A POISON EPISODE.
When a Famous Chemist Was Si,snesd
In Court by Judge.

In Court by a Judge.
There was famous poisoning case
In England many years ago In which
tie strong point of the defense was to
show that the accused who was an
expert chemist. would not have used
poison which could be so easily found
after 1t had been taken into the hu-
man system. Sir Robert Christeson.

works are still standard on that sub
| ject. was put on the stand to prove
this point. When he declared that a
chemist would certainly use some poi
son which would leave no trace, the
prosecuting attorney asked him If he
meant to say that there were such
poisons.
Sir Robert replied In the affirmative.
The prosecutor asked. "Name them!"
"No" shouted the Judge. 81 forbid
you to answer that question:
In spite of the protests of the prose
cutor the judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name of
poison which would leave no trace.
and the question remained unan
swered.
Now comes the curious part of the
story. During the next two years Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
ters from all parts of the world ask
ing, begging. offering to buy. the name
of the untrateable poison alluded to in
his testimony. Many Of these he kept
as curioslties, showing them to his
friends as evidence Of the depravity of
human nature. Some of the excuses
for wanting the name of the poison
were very ingenious. One man was
writing novel based ON a poison plot
and wanted to make use of the un-
traceable poison idea. He did not
want to give the name of the poison In
his book, but just wanted to have 1t
by him in case any scientific critic
should deny the possibility of such poi
sons, when he could send him bhe
name In private letter and quote the
distinguished authority" from whom
1t came. etc. Several persons profess
ed to be studying chemistry and asked
for the information on the ground Of
professional courtesy. To all such Sir
Robert would send the advice to pur
sue their studies and they would soon
know as much about 1t as he did
Many offered large sums of money for
the secret. usually pretending they
had bet still larger amounts that they
could find 1t out In given time and
were willing to share their profits lib
orally with Sir Robert
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number of persons all
