Judicial View of Prejury.

jury, in which the, punishment
was assessed at ten years in the
state penitentiary. Judge Furman,
Presiding Judge of the Criminal
Court of Appeals of Oklahoma, in
Rose VS.. State, l27 Pacific Pepor-
ter, S73, quotes from former
opinion by him in Coleman VS..
State, ll8 Pacific Reporter, 594, as
follows:
"Next to the crime of seduc
tion and rape, perjury is the most
serious offense against the laws of
the state, and the most infamous
in it's character that can be com
mitted, and especially the kind of
prejury for the commission of
which appellant now stands con.
victed. We can have some respect
for a man who for a reason or
fancied wrong enters into a fair
com bat in which he takes the life
of his adversary. We can even
sympathize with an aged widowed
mother, or devoted wife, sister,
or daughter, who, through love for
son, a husband, or brother, or a
father, is driven to the com mission
of perjury to save such loved one
from the hangman's moose. We
can understand how perjury in
case of this kind may not indicate
all utter want of moral character;
but we cannot find language strong
enough to express our detestation
of the crime for which appellant
has been convicted.
"The smallness of the cause for
which perjury is committed is
true indication of the moral de.
pravity of the man who commits
it. The fact that the jury did not
give appellant the full limit of the
law is the only thing about this
case worthy of criticism. We
think that the smaller the induce
ment for perjury the greater the
punishment should be. The man
who will commit perjury to shield
crap shooter or bootlegger is

people of the town talked about the
prophet.

own eyes, - said one Turk.
THAT mans eyes certainly
sparkled like fire, " said another man.

foaming sea, said another one.
The merchants son was very hap
Ply to hear all these strange things
about himself.
'I'n go back to the woods now"
he said. "I'll find my Flying Trunk
and get it ready for my final trip to
the palace" He went back, accord
ingly.
Alas, his trunk was in little heap
of ashes! A spark from one of the
firecrackers he had shot into the air
fell into the trunk. The first little
breeze that blew famed it into
fame and the trunk burned up. The
poor merchants son could never fly
any more. He didn't know what to
do or where to go. But he decided
that he must leave the country at
once. He took one last, lingering
look at the palace and started on his
journey.
The poor princess, sad at heart and
very sorrowful, sat in her apartments
and waited and waited! But her
Turkish prophet never came. Instead
he. went about the world telling
stories to people and tried to forget
his princess.
