Englisf, Judges as Detectives.

Jesse Macy, writing on English courts
in McClure's gives the following story of
the painstaking work of English judges:
In so fair and just a court 1T Is exceed
inglv rare for an innocent man to be con
demned; nor is it easy there for the guilty
to escape The skill of the judge in de,
tecting guilt was shown in the conduct OF
another case from Birmingham. Several
men were indicted for riot They con-
cocted an elaborate scheme to prove an
alibi. The ordinary false testimony Tor
that purpose is usually detected by lack OF
agreement among the witnesses as to de-
tails In this instance there. was much
detail, but perfect accord. The evidence
for the prosecution was weak and uncon-
vincing. Experienced attorneys saw no al
tentative to an acqulttal; but the Judge
seemed possessed of "A suspicion. Among
the many witnesses for the defense was
little girl about 10 years old. The Judge
ordered her to be brought back. Entering
into familiar conversation with the child,
he gradually led her to talk OF her eN-
Deriences i'm connection with the coming
to court Thus he won from her the art
less story Of the training to which she
had been subjected. to fit her for the part
she was to play. together with the names
of those who had taught her to testify as
they wished These were among the wit
nesses already examined. They were re-
called. one by one. and the skillful ques-
TONER drew from them the confession that
they had formed a plot to deceive the
court bv spending an evening together, so
that they could all testify to the same
events and all tell the truth. the only

Wednesday Sept. l, the Bonners
Ferry Bridge commissioners con-
sisting of G. d. Rowell, VIM Leslie
and JAS Stephenson jr. met at VIM
Leslie's Office and opened the bids
for the construction of the bridge,
The following were the bids;
Hennihpen Bridge Co, of Minnea-
polls, bridge completed $4,000; G..
G. Shelly Bridge Co. s29,S50 and
Puget Sound Bridge Co, $4,000.
The plans of the Hennippen Bridge
Co. came the nearest to what the
commissioners had in mind and
after a short consultation, the
Henniepen Co. was given the CON-
tract to build the bridge.
1t was impossible for the COM
missloners to get a bridge built
with concrete piers for the amount
that had been appropriated. The
bridge is to be built with pile piers
filled with rocks and cribbed.
With steel and timber frame; there
will be thIee spans of 200 feet each
with the necessary app reaches.
L. H. Johnson, representing the
Hennepin sBridge Co., stayed here
until Thursday afternoon getting
the crotract properly drawn up,
and then went to Boise to get Mr..
Stephenson, Jr. to sign it, after
which it will be returned to the
commissioners here to sigu. Mr.
Stephenson, Jr. was present at the
opening of the bids, but could not
stay until the contracts were drawn
up,

CONTRACT IS LET
Hennipen Bridge Co. Gets Contract for
New Bridge at $4,000. Will
be Fine Structure.

Mr.. johnson informed the Her
aid that he would let the contract
for getting out the piles and other
timbers also driving of piles for the
piers, as soon as possible, and in
tends to push the work along
Just as fast as was convenient, al
thought he stated it would proba-
bly, be three months before they
really get started on the bridge.
He also atated they intended
having the bridge completed by
April 1, 1910.
In order that the people would
get stronger and better bridge,
the commissioners figured that they
had better dispence with the side
wake. To those that know the
construction of the bridge this was
a wise move on the part of comm
issioners. Now why not the city
dads start a list with 800 and
every business house and man in
the city and vicinity give at least
50. There surely is 500 or 600
hundred people here who would
give 50 toward putting sidewalk
on the new bridge. Mr.. johnson
stated to the representative to the
Herald that if the people would
raise about $1100 they would put
the walk down. This should be
taken up at once 30 that the steels
supporting the sidewalk can be or
dered with the balance of the bridge
If nothing is done you will have tc
cross the bridge in the middle or
side of the wagon road. Some
body get busy.
