Testimony of the Blind

Before the trial was half ended Il
was apparent that most credence WAC
placed in the testimony for the de-
PENDANT.
That is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said a man
who has served on many iuries.
when it comes to a question of mem,
DRY the word Of blind man goes
further in courtroom than that OF a
person with good eyes 1t is with the
jurymen that his testimony really
counts, but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed This is taking into
consideration, of course, that the blind
man has a reputation for veracity.
We assume that with the loss of one
faculty others have developed. What
a man cannot see he hears, and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re-
tentiveness Of a blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
person with all his senses would be-
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat a converse.

building. This latest development in
an important craft comes, as might be
expected, from the United States, says
London Tit-Bits. Blocks of concrete
cement are cast according to the de-

sage through the center. When ready
for erection steel pins are passed
through the center of the castings,
and the whole bolted together over

Is stated to be simple in the extreme.
