THEIR LUCK HELD
Men Evidently Not Fated to Die
on GaIIOWs.
In the One Case II Would Almost Seen
as II Providence Had Interviewed
to Prevent HIdeous Case Of
Injustice.

Chronological history unfolds some
interesting and curious escapes" from
the gallows. In Sussex, England, q
man was found guilty of murder by
jury which did not take five minutes
In which to consider its verdict
Twice he stood on the death-trap of
the gallows, on each occasion the lever
failed to release the trap. An indig-
nant country called for his reprieve,
which was granted. 1t was afterward
discovered that the gallows, which was
made Of wood in those days, had swOl-
len by rain that fell heavily on both
the nights preceding the dates fixed
by the sheriff for the execution.
But here is the case of man who
not only was saved from the galows
but from hearing his death sentence
passed by the Judge! A man was
charged at the Old Bailey with a pc
culiarly atrociOus crime. The jury
sent in word from their retiring room
that they were unable to agree upon
verdict, and were escorted to the
London coffee house on Ludgate hill,
there to be locked up without food.
fire or light until they had decided
upon unanimous verdict.
Eleven out of the dozen were i'm fav-
or Of verdict of guilty" but the
foreman of the jury, Mr. James Sim
mer, had a rooted objection to capital
punishment. He did not believe in the
innocence of the man, but he refused
to consent to verdict which would
send the man to the gallOws.
1t was Saturday afternoon when the
jury was locked up. BY dawn next
day six Of the jurymen, overcome by
discomfort and lack of food, were
willing to vote "Not guilty" Toward
the afternoon of Sunday the foreman,
actuated by feelings of compassion, ad-
dressed his fellowsufferers as follows:
81 am willing to make you sport
ing offer and leave the decision as to
the guilt or Innocence of the poor
wretch In Newgate to chance. OBJ
serve: l shall balance the poker up
right in front Of the empty crate. l
shall then slowly count One! two!
three! You will range yourselves,
half your number on either side, two
yards away. At the word "three" we
shall jump. If the poker falls to the
side of the opposition I shall give in
to your verdict of guilty but If it
comes down on my side you will join
me in returning verdict of not gull
ty.'-One! two! three!"
At the word "three" the twelve men
jumped for all they were worth. The
poker fell with clatter to the side
of the foreman! The warders were
summoned, and the jurors were escort
ed back to the Old Bailey, re-entered
the jury box and gave their verdict.
The judge, who had provided HIM
self with the ominous black cap, APP
reared completely paralyzed with
on hearing the announce
ment.
Twenty years later convict at
Portland was fatally injured by the
premature explosion of a cartridge Be
fore he died he confessed to being gull
ty of the crime for which the inno-
cent man was arraigned at the Old
Bailey 20 years before, and was only
saved in the manner described, by the
fall of the poker toward the foreman
Of the jury.

Half a century ago the average life line had stretched to 40 years, and now 1t is estimated to have reached fifty years. It is true that in the days when germs flourished unmoIested some folks lived to be one hundred years and more, but babies died by the thousand, and surgery was In the saw-nnd-hammer stage when to perform a major operation was practically murder.

Cloud shadows sweep over the moor with wings that are gray or nearly black, blue or vloIet-pUrplc, according to the seasons and quality of air ana sunshine. On stormy days the case is altered and out of the gloom there break beams to fly over the darkness of earth, like golden birds. The shadow and shaft of light both serve to bring out detail in the wilderness : and while today passages of shade re- veal the integumept of heath and stone, or fling up the outline of q hill among others lost in light, tomorrow a sun-flash is apter toN1o these things and paint pictures set in cloudy frames.-FrOm "A Shadow Passes" by Eden Phlllpotts.
