What tI,e Iuru nesarpad.

Sir Matthew Begbie. chief justice of British Columbia, once had before him a man charged with having killed an other man with a sandbag. The evil dence was conclusive. and the judge charged the jury accordingly. but a verdict of Not guilty was promptly brought in. The judge was astonished- "Gentlemen of the jury he said, 'tthis is your verdict. not mine. On youz conscience the disgrace will rest Many repetitions of such conduct as yours will make trial by jury horri- ble farce and the city of Victoria a nest of crime Go! I have nothing more to say to you.'' And then, turn ing to the prisoner: You are dis charged Go and sandbag some of those jurymen. They deserve it.

IS IDENTIFIED BY BERTILLON
 SYSTEM HERE
Check Forger Has Been Go- ing from One Jail to An other in Breathless Sue
 ceSS1On
January 10th Fatal Day in History of Samuel Klous, Scion of Prominent and Wealthy Family.

From one jail to another in breath less succession is the meteoric record of Samuel Kious. son of a prominent Brookline Mass, family, college gradu- and now held here for. attempting to pass two bad checks, one for $25 and another for $399.S0.
 In KIous' cases, Bridgeport's Bertil Ion system again performed a great piece of work. For several days the local police were unable to ascertain anything concerning his record But today, thanks to the measurements and photographs sent out by Detective George HauX, the local Bertillon operator, Klous was identified by the police of Baltimore Md, as an old of fender.
 January 10 seems to be fatal in KlouS career.
 On January 10, 1910, he was ar raiened in New York on the charge of uttering a false check and was sen tenced by Magistrate Henry Duffy to year in jail.
 Serving the. term, he was released just in time to go to Baltimore, utter more forged checks and be arrested again.
 On January 10 1911, he was ar raigned in Baltimore before the uppef court and was sentenced to year in jail.
 Released again, he wandered into Bridgeport, tried the same tricks, and on January 10th was arraigned before the city court nere on the cnarBe or uttering fraudulent checks.
 The authorities here at first felt in- clined to deal lightly with Klous' case. because he obtained no money, and his check operating seemed to be the result of a drunken scrape. But when today's mail brought the identifica- tion of Klous and his previous record, thanks to the Bertillon system, the authorities changed their mind con corning him and it may go hard when his case comes before the city court on January IT.
 KIous is the black sheep of veal thy and prominent family in Brook line. His relatives used to get him out of his scrapes at frequent inter vals, but now have given him up as hopeless and leave him to fend for himself. Drink is the cause of his downfall.
