Diagnosed the Case.

An elderly doctor, who was as pep
perry as cayenne pod, was from time
to time sprung upon by the practical
joker.
On one occasion a well dressed
young fellow called and asked the doc.
tor to prescribe for breaking-out and
rash on his left arm. The doctor ex.
amined the limb and pronounced it to
be bad case of psoriasis and eczema.
II suppose, doctor, you can cure it,"
said the patient.
"Why, certainly" replied the doctor.
How long will it take to get well?"
"Oh, l should say about two
MONTHS" said the doctor.
Quite sure? Is it a bad case?"
Positively the worst I've seem"
"Then | will leave it with you and
call for it again when cured" solemnly
said the patient, slowly christening
his arm. which was an artificial one,
and painted for the occasion.

to have the decision of the lower
court overthroWn.
The appellants attorneys, in their
trief, set forth that instead CT being
tried by a jury of twelve men, the
defendant was, in fact, tried by three
doctors and a chemist. In answer
to this charge of error, Judge Fur
man held that in prosecutions Of
murder, the testimony of medical eX-
perts as to the cause and manner cf
death may be Indispensable. AS a
rule, he held, expert opinion or testi-
mony is not admissible aS to any
matters which are within the knowl-
edge and understanding Of mankind
generally. The questions as to wheth'
er Mabel Oakes met her death
through strangulation and whether
she could have committed the act,
Judge Furman held to be admissible
IN every sense.
Speaking of the case, Judge Fur
man declared: illicit love will sink
its victims to greater degradation
and prompt the commission of IN 70
desperate deeds and unjustifiable
crimes than any passion to which
poor, erring mortality is the slave
I And in closing the opinion, SAYS:
1--WE believe that the gallows was
cheated of its due when the jury fail
cd to inflict the death penalty upon
appellant. The protection of female
purity requires that such conduct. oi
which appellant has been guilty
should receive the most severe pos
sble punishment"
