PASADENA, Oct. 23.=Replying to
skeptics in the east who were in

made the record balloon flight of 500
miles in nine hours April 90, 1861 Prof
ThaddeuS s. c.. Lowe has telegraphed to
South Carolina a copy of the certificate
given him by the citizens of Unionvil1e
s. c., on the date of his flight in which
he is given credit for the performance
which still stands as the worlds speed
record.
Although he celebrated his seventy
seventh birthday more than two months
ago, Professor Lowe says he is plan

other experts for aviation honors.

NEW YORK, oct. 23.-Cortlandt
Field Bishop. president of the Aero
Club of America, arrived here today
from Europe He said he thought
America had an excellent opportunity
to secure the two big aerial contests
for next year for heavier than air and
machines lighter than air.
.s1-he work of Curtiss and Mix on
the other side reflected great credit on
America. said Bishop. Curtiss' failure
to fly in New York during the Hudson
Fulton celebration should not be held
against him when the conditions are
considered.
Bishop said he considered Lamberts
flight around the Eiffel tower a much
greater feat than the aerial crossing
of the English channel.

can be nothing easier to find-if the
doubt relates to a psychological issue
what was in the mind of one who COM
mitted an unlawful deed before thought
eventuated in action
So much emphasis has been placed on
the element of reasonable doubt which
debars a verdict of guilty, that the
juror forgets the principle Of law reel
ed off earlier in the charge that such
doubt must be grounded upon the evil
dence-a doubt of the kind that would
dictate the jurors conduct in ord. nary
affairs of life. 1t must not be mere
ly dubious whim arising out of the
bare possibilities of human uncertain
ties. If there is no question that the
unlawful deed was committed by the
accused his nnocence-technically
pleaded with regard to intent or inn
pulse-should be regarded as incon-
sistent with any theory not founded on
facts. The law is that the intent is
shown by the act.
A reform needed in Territorial prac-
tice, the attorney already quoted saws
is the adoption of the Federal prac-
tice where the judge gives the instruc-
lions of both sides, which he allows on
each point, whipped together by him
self. This prevents any advantage of
superior emphasis which counsel on
either side may command. 1t avoids
the glaring anomaly of the courts urg-
ing it as "the sworn duty" of the Jury
to acquit in circumstances described by
the defense, while mildly reminding
them that it is simply their duty to
convict in circumstances described by
the prosecution, thus invidiously cast
ing glamor of sacredness over ac-
quittal which is not done over convic-
ton. Convict if you really think the
man is guilty, but woe to your peace
of conscience if you do not acuutt
where there is any fancy of innocence
latent in your minds" would fifty
paraphrase many a charge to juries.
Finally, the charges to juries in Ho-
nolulu are ten times longer than ne
cessary-a mass of big words and a
mass of repetitions which would APP
pear deliberately calculated to befog
and bewilder the average jurors men

TOWN TALK.
~ FHn NAN ABOUI TOWN

The community has just been treated
to vision of new kind of angry hus-
band. The spectacle doesn't seem to
have attracted much attention, posi-
bly, because it was so revolving that
the press didn't like to say much
about it. But 1 want to call atten-
ton anyhow. 1t appears that this
excuse for a husband suspected his
wife of faithlessness and, finally, got
evidence that she had really gone, or
been led, astray. Everyone knows
what husbands doom the stage,-in
such cases. But this one? Why he
quietly went to work with a camera
and iashlight apparatus, to record
clear evidences of his own disgrace. l
have heard Of many husbands using
flashlights under such circumstances,
but they were of a different kind, the
flash being followed by a bullet in
stead of a picture. Then comes the
sequel: An effort, not to punish the
guilty man, but to bleed him for
money, the husband constituting him
self, or trying to, a sort of legalized
pimp. 1t is no wonder the woman left
a man like that. l should like to see
him put in Jail for compromising a
felony, if not for blackmail
IF you had a case of your own in
court, would you be willing to have
it tried by twelve men all of the sam,

1t was one of the stock questions to
Jurors and there was a general outburst
of mirth in the courtroom when B. F,
Beardmore, a well-seasoned juryman
answered, Il should consider myself
exceedingly fortunate to have my case
tried by such jury"
Nevertheless the attorney who put
the question used his next peremptory
challenge in retiring the juror.
