He Has to Overcome the
Presumption of Guilt in
Judge and Jury

He has therefore not only to
cope with the evidence pro-
duced by the prosecutor, but to
overcome the presumption of
guilt existing in the minds of
judge and jury before any evil
dence is offered--a presump-
ton, we must always remember,
created by an indictment that
was framed to hit only one side
of the case.
The prosecutors task is a diff
ferent one. His ambition is to
convict. Standing, as he is re-
puted to do, in the interests of
the people, it is not apparent
why it is not as much his proper
ambition to clear the defendant
if he is innocent as to convict
him if he is guilty; but / never
happened to know of case
where the prosecutor was not
gratihed by the jury bringing in
a verdict of guilty.
1t would seem to be felt by
him to be part of his business
to believe in the guilt of the
accused and therefore to demon
strate it.
| have been told in years past
of men being kept in the Tombs
for months awaiting trial, but
kept there because the case
against them was so weak that
no prosecuting attorney wanted
to risk the damage that would
accrue to his reputation by fall
ing to obtain from jury an adj
verse verdict.

Why Should the State Not
Provide for Its De-
PENDANTS?

Now, if the interests OF the
people and of justice are to be
subserved, why should not the
state make as adequate provis-
ion for the protection of de-
PENDANTS as for their destruc-
ton? Mr.. M. needed no such
federal protection, for he had
money enough of his own, suf-
tlcient at any rate, to secure his
liberation from confinement in
which, if current opinion be ac-
cepted, he would have passed
the remainder of his natural life
had he lacked the funds where
with TO meet the demands of
adroit legal advisors.
Why is the defendant in the
Stanford White murder case
still alive for any other reason
than that there was money
enough back of him to secure
the protection that he would
otherwise have had to dispense
with?
Now the salient point in the
first of these two instances is
not whether the convict ought
to have been set at liberty; nor
in the second whether Thaw
ought to have been executed;
the point is that it is not fair
to a defendant for the state to
make less provision for his ac-
quittal if he is innocent (and he
may be) than it does for his
conviction if he is guilty (and he

ByDR.C.H. PARKHURST

a DEFENDANT who is
~ without money has a COM
paratively poor chance be-
fore the courts. While there are
certain features OF the judicial
process that work to the advan-
tage of the defendant, there are
others that are just as operative
to his disadvantage, especially
if he is poor.
When case comes before the
grand jury, if an Indictment is
found, it is found on the basis of
one sided evidence. Everything
is put in that will go to prove
guilt, but nothing that might
suggest innocence. There are
reasons for that, probably, but
it is not generally known what
they are.
Then the case comes up for
trial. The fact that an indict-
ment has been found prejudices
the Judge and jury against the
accused, even though the indict-
ment stands upon but single
leg, the leg of adverse testimony
uncontroverted by anything that
might have been urged in his
favor.
He has already been convicted
by one tribunal, and the trial
commences with a presumption
that he will now be convicted
again and finally
That is the situation. The
judge is affected by it; so is the
jury; and so is the prosecuting
attorney. The difficult task ly
ing before defendants counsel is
to overcome the presumption of
guilt already lodged in the jury's
mind.

That is all perfectly natural.
The prosecutor has an explica-
bic ambition to show that he has
legal acumen and forensic abil-
ity enough to prove to the
world the truth of what has al
ready been once declared to be
truth in the secrecy of the grand
jury room. He feels that he is
there to convict and that failure
to do SO means humiliation.
All the foregoing holds true
of defendants whether rich or
poor, but in the case of de-
fendant that is poor the disad-
vantages already named are add
ed by the fact that he has no
means to pay for counsel that
will match the prosecutor in pro-
fessional ambition, in brilliancy

There is just a chance that H. g.

night, may recover. He rested only

He is being treated at Stormont nos

after his attempt to kill himself, and
is being treated by Dr. j. d. Freeman

Holley reached Topeka from Los
Angeles on Santa Fee train No. 10 yes

train for ST. Joseph was made up,
buying his ticket and boarding the
train about 4:45 o'clock. Ten minutes
later, while seated in the chair car
surrounded by passengers, he took out
a razor and slashed his throat, sew
ering the anterior jugular vein and
larynx. The wound was deep enough
that the man could do no more than
gurg1e, and was utterly unable to an
swer any question or give any reason
for his actions.
Several passengers imme diately in
terfered and took the razor away from
HolIey, the first to reach him being

was on his way to Rock Creek.
Aside from a serious loss of blood
that has weakened the victim ma

his lungs, endangering him to an at

there. also is the danger that blood
poison may develop in the wound. 1t
will be several days, if he lives that
long, before he is out of danger.

Happy Eskimo Children.

The Eskimo child is the idol of the
home, and is allowed to do as he pleases.
He is never punished, and his whims ana
wishes are consulted with all the concern
given an adult. In spite of this indGI-
gence, the children are remarkably obed-
lent Perhaps the patriarchaI manner of
hving-father and mother, aunts and
uncles, and grandmother and grandfath-
err ali in one house-tends to make them
SO.
The word of the elders is law and is
never questioned. They have lived a
long time the Eskimos reason, and there
fore speak with the authority of ex-
perience.
All this is very nice in the ordinary
walks of life, but rather embarrassing
sometimes in school work. When a child
of 4 or S plays truant from school, and
the visiting teacher, complaining to the
parents, is gravely told to ask the sma.i
despot if it is his royal pleasure to come
to school or not, the situation becomes
ludicrous. The only resource is to be-
come hated truant officer, or, better, to
make your work so interesting that the
children cannot stay away.-Wide World.

German Emigrants Coming to State to

New Orleans, May 5.-A party of
German immigrants, numbering 70 and
mostly headed for Kansas and western
grain states, formed the steerage list
of the steamship Virginia, the first
ship to land at the new United States
immigration station.
Peter Steib, with his family, a large
one, is bound for Topeka, Kan, where
he goes to join his father, Philip Steib.
They will engage in farming. The
family is a strong healthy one and
say they are glad to go west. Others
will follow them from the Russian
border of Germany.

Thus is accomplished a step toward
mannishness which long has been
sought by women. 1t was not so very
long ago that pockets did really exist
in skirts hidden in seams and intend
ed to be used only in very informal
garb. The later mode of tight skirts
now prevalent, which went so far as
to preclude the use of petticoats, OF
course prevented the use of pockets,
which would cause bulges marring to
symmetry and smooth fit.
Now, however, woman has come out
frankly and unavowedly in her desire
for pockets. The effect, at least in
this tailored street dress by Martial
Armand, made of gray striped suede
cloth with embroidered vest and black
patent leather belt, is attractive enough
to assure the mode at least a trial.
The vest, although not a new fea-
ture, nevertheless with the pockets
marks quite move toward mannish-
ness. as

directly through his victims head,
causing instant death.
This morning when the case was
