PHALACROSlS WAS TOO MUCH
The Jury Decided That the Defend
ant Had Something tho Mat
ter With His Head.

The case was one of assault and
battery, and one of the witnesses was
a local doctor whom the prosecuting
solicitor proceeded to bully, suggest
ing that he was prejudiced In favor
of the defendant and had wilfully dis
torted his evidence in his favor. The
doctor denied this, and went on to
say that the defendant was suffering
from "phalacrosis" The word caused
a sensation in court, and, asked to
define the disease, the doctor de-
scribed it as "a sort of chronic dis
ease of an intiammatory nature which
affects certain cranial tissues"
Asked If it affected the mind, the
doctor said he was not posing as an
expert. but he had known some per-
sons when suffering from the disease
to become raving maniacs, and others
merely foolish; some showed destruct-
i've and pugilistic tendencies, while
many others had suffered for years
and had never shown any mental alb
normalities. He refused to say any
thing further, and the jury promptly
acquitted the accused; because, as the
foreman explained, Doctor said there
was something the matter with his
head"
When the case was over the prose
cutor sought enlightment as to the
mysterious disease, and found that
"phalacrosis" meant-baldness!

my innocence"
Justice Bucknill, a Grand Master
Mason, in pronouncing sentence was
deeply moved, and In concluding he
said:
You and I know that we both be-
long TO one brotherhood. But that
brotherhood condemns crime. pray
you TO make your peace with the
Great Architect of the Universe"
