A MIND READING PROPOSITION

In point OF these strange metaphysical subteties
that courts are asked by lawyers seriously to
sider find this quotation from the brief for the
defense in the Bartnet appeal from his conviction
for embezzling securities OF the Cotton estate for
which he was trustee:
The defendant, while he in fact special admin
istrator OF the estate of Mrs Cotton, also drec
of and attorney for the banking and company
of San Francisco known the California safe deposit
and trust company That bank had closed its doors
and was the hands of receiver at the time of the
trial Every effort made by the assistant district
attorney during, the trial upon the defendant
the odium of that bank failure. 1t is apparent that
jury from the real issue involved. Instead of being
tried the charge of embezzlement special admin
istrator the defendant tried for the ofense of
wrecking the bank.
The court of appeal, in fine, is asked to play
mind reader and interpret the mental processes of
twelve men whom it never saw. The justices are
asked to believe that after trial of many days the
jurors did not know what case they were trying.
If this theory. could be accepted it would supply
damaging reflection the ability of counsel for the
defense in the lower court. I quote further from
report of the argument in the court of appeal:
One point for the defense was that when the securi-
ties deposited by order of the superior they
passed out of Bartnetts possession special admin
1strator, and that if he assisted in taking them for
the banks he did so officer of the bank.
Consequently the alleged enbezzling by him
as administrator, this being the oense of which he
was convicted Justice Chapman remarked this
consulting Brown and Treadwe1l he still
acting special administrator
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-11
BY Edward F. Cahill

can not be compelled by law, and we need not fear
that Deacon Pillsbury would worldly applaud those
reasons when it suited his purpose. The excellent
deacon has annexed the ten commandments as
personal asset, but he uses them chiefly as club
for his enemies. The moral law being his private
property he can grant dispensations as may suit
his purpose
PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE
It is this sort of thing-paying fast and loose
with principe-that brought the graft prosecution
into discredt for time. Among other matters in
this line recalls the scaly trick, played in the
of the Good Government league, since known
as the postage stamp primary" 1t was a mean
and contemplate piece of business and recoiled
sharply the heads of its promoters but just
the same Deacon Pillsbury, in his capacity Of dis
penser of the moral law, entered an elaborate
defense of the trick.
PEANUT POLICY
1t will not do to play fast and loose with right
and wrong, no matter with what pretended benev-
olence of purpose. It is peanut policy that surely
returns to plague the inventor. Any man who
spends his time preaching at his neighbors and yet
is ready to set aside principle to gain private
personal advantage for his friends is rightly set
down as a snufflng hypocrite.
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-11

subtleties all this sounds and is like the merest
child's play 1t is utterly divorced from sense or
reason and chiefly serves to make the courts
ridiculous.
CHIEFLY A STATE OF MIND
Some sense of this 1amentable condition appears
to have penetrated the intelligence of the profession,
and in fact the State bar association has been IN
session this week in Los Angeles, planning some
sort OF remedy, but its proposals only go to the
mechanics of Jurisprudence. 1t proposes to reform
methods of practice and procedure What it really
needs is to get its head on straight, abandoning
fudd1e Drained metaphysics and ridiculous subtle
ties. OF course this reform must begin on the
bench Ii courts will tolerate such silly nonsense
lawyers will continue to resort to 1t. You can't
put brains in judge by act OF the legislature.
THE PREoRDAINED GOAT
With respect to Ruef. one wonders what prom
ses or inducements were held out to persuade him
to break off his partial immunity contract Ii he
had stuck to that he would have got off with con-
siderably less than FIVE years in prison, and at
small pecunary cost Now he stands an excellent
chance of spending nine or ten years in the peni-
tetiary and his defense has cost him the bulk OF
his great fortune To those who have been keeping
an eve on the game it has been evident for some
time that Ruef long ago was marked out to be
the goat Of the whole business. The people who
persuaded him to drop his immunity deal turned
profitable trick by that transaction, but Ruef, with
all his snlartness, has come out of the small end
of the horn. The other parties to the trade can
afford to throw him over, because any testimony
that he might now give or any confession he might
make would not be worth anything in court.
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-11
JEKYLL AND HYDE

Arguments like these insult to the intelli-
gence. Bartnett was Doctor Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
all at once. Hyde might be guilty and go to jail,
but Jekyll was innocent and should go free. That
sort of stuff would not be listened to for instant
in an English appeal court.
THE DIVORCE OF REASON
Again and in the line quote report of
an argument by Stanley Moore, who seeking
to quash the indictment against Walter ]. Henessey,
charged with throwing acid at Laura Lyle Jones
According to Moore, the indictment is defective,
because it alleges that Henessey threw "a caustic
chemical The lawyer quoted from a number of
books-ncudng some dictionaries and encyclope-
dias-trying show that "caustic chemical"
though it also described "carboic acid, to w.t.
was not necessarily harmful thing. So far as the
indictment showed he declared it might have been
crystals of acid which thrown, "caustic acid
being technically crystal, and not liquid .

OUR SPASM OF VIRTUE

The Chicago Tribune takes humorous view Of
the brief spasm of virtue that hit California and
San Francisco about the fourth of July, OF which 1
wrote something last week. l quote

man met Mr.. Owen Moran of England his
discontinue, is the city which had uneasy period
people were looking forward with interest or disgust

Of publicity given it Evidently in the minds Of many
authorities who are startled into recttude by the
abrupt switching OF the spotlight IN their direction the
publicity is the crime.
Nevertheless Mr.. Nelson is congratulated for his
business acumen that gave him the big end of the
gate This is the Chicago Of it.
THE CHAMPION CAMPAIGN LIE
have added to my collection Of campaign lies
the most ingenious example of this strange art so
far on record and the most interesting phase of the
episode is that the contradiction has not been able
to catch up with the lie which is still its travels
and going strong. Although both lie and contradic-
ton were printed before election | found the story
republished the other day as follows in the shape
of an editorial in Los Angeles paper:
The prohibitionists of the town Of Auburn in the
state of Washington the most enterprsing and
unique of canvassers. They secured the bodies Of
two men whose-remains found the Northern
Pacific railroad track The coroner gave certificate
that the deceased without friends, and recon-
1nended that their bodies be put some good use
He suggested, member of the anti-sa1oon league
what that should be- His suggestions fol-
lowed and the stiffs placed in upright posi-
ton in cofins, from which the lids removed.
Cofhns were then situated in the plate glass window
of undertaking establishment Above the head
of each cadaver was sign bearing the words, He
died of drink" Unfortunately this notable election
eering device had a contrary effect from that which
was intended by the leaders of the drys. The voter
who gazed the CHASTITY spectacle shuddered and
fed to the nearest saloon where he braced up his
shattered nerves with brace of alcoholic rejuvena-
tors Then he went to the polls and voted wet
The wet majority in Auburn enormous, for
the saloon keepers were generous. The remains re-
naaihed in the window for two days, for the drys
were dsgusted and the vets too drunk to
inter them.
The bodies were not put in the show window
and were not labeled with campaign literature but
in fact a minister OF the gospel in that town did
have some cards printed for distribution stating that
the men had died Of alcoholism But the undertak-
ers explanation did not get on the front page and
was printed in small type. The rabbit is still
running.

obscure musician who played the oboe or something
worse just below Folks box So easily in these days
and with such slight foundation does middle aged
young man earn reputation as King of the

VOLUNTEER COOKS

There IS in the meantime flock of industrious
volunteer cooks who would be pleased to prepare
this part OF the meal in their own fashion and shove
il down the throats of the statesmen with rammer
E. T. Earl and Deacon Pilsbury, for example, have
a patent recipe of their own by which to prepare
this delicacy. Plsbury writes page of words
once week to convince himself that no law COM
pels members Of the legislature to vote for the
choice Of their constituents. AS nobody has ever
disputed the truth of this proposition he appears to
be firing in the air and is probably contrving fool
noises to disguise his purpose He makes great
play of the distinction between advisory and
mandatory" The vote of this or that constitu-
