PEER DESERVED His VICTORY
Quick Wit Enabled Him to Win Sue.
cess When Others Would Have
Given Up Hope.

Gypsy Smith, the noted evangelist,
said on his recent voyage from Liver
pool:
"There are some men who can
make a success even in failure. Thus
there was a certain peer once who
rose to make his maiden Speech-a
speech granting to all accused per-
sons the right to counsel-and when
he put his hand in his pocket for his
notes they weren't there. His notes
were lost.
''The peer gulped. He looked about
him wildly. He gulped again. Then
he said:
eff l. my lords, who now rise only
to give my opinion on this bill-if I
am so COMPOUNDED that | am unable to
express what I had in mind, what
must be the condition of that man
who, without any assistance, has got
to plead for his life?"
"Then the peer sat down to the
cheers Of converted chamber, and
his bill passed almost unanimously"

Ernest Hunter, the negro who has
been held on charge of Staying Harry

Miss Lorraine Owen on byrOad be-
tween Myers Park and Dilworth on
the night of May %. Hunter was
given his freedom at once.
Despite Investigations and counter
Investigations by the police, the sher-
if the coroner, the grand jury and
private detectives, the Montgomery
murder case now stands exactly as 1t
did on the night Of the killing prior
to the arrest Of the negro the follow
ing morning. The mystery enshroud-
ing the crime is as deep today as 1t
was when Miss Owen in hysterical
condition spread the alarm that her
fiance had been slain by a negro at
lonely spot which was later found to
be within a few hundred yards Of her
home.
In ordering the release Of Hunter,
Solicitor Wilson announced that two
grand juries had been unable to Sc
sure sufficient evidence against the
negro to find a true bill, and that
review Of the evidence showed 1t to
be meager.

JAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS |
Practice in Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool of the law Cor the phylac
teries), a ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and it was kept up to
modern date in the oath Of the Uni
versity of Oxford. The practice Of
kissing the book, which became so
we'll established in England, appears
in the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or CATER the
manner of ancient Romeo the swear
err laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it, above all, it became
customary to touch the relics Of saints
on the altar. Other objects, as the
cross, the bishops crozier, etc., were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection of a sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath,
as distinguished from a merely Spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath is taken is "halidOme"
The "halidome'' on which oaths are
sworn in England is a copy of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
of other religions are used in like
manner, a Mohammedan swearing on
the Koran, a Hindu on the Vedas.
