by q robber band. Meyers and Gill

other day when passing the Standard
Gas company's plant at Twenty-second

Murphy say:

A little later the officers saw Muir

1t was the beginning Of the END. They
captured the outlaw before he reached

Il Is Hard to &c Accurate.

Il Is Hard to &c Accurate.
Can you exactly describe what you
see? IF you can, you are cleverer
than most persons. A book recently
published In Paris relates that at a
meeting Of scientific men two Of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense Of obtaining legal evidence
the president Of the meeting asked
everyone present to write an exact
report of what had happened. The
quarrel was pure piece of acting
arranged to test the powers Of OBJ
servatiOn Of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of jurists, psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent of error; Ii re-
ports had more than so per cent
wrong; and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent of the details were wholly
imaginary. When men Of science can
so err we can understand how easily
the ordinary man can go astray. The
story shows why lawyers value cir
cumstantial evidence so highly
