Cermanys "Torture Codes" added to

ton was the fact that the property
of a condemned criminal was confls-
Gated by the state. 1t could not be
confiscated unless he was condemned
and he could not be condemned unless
he confessed. Men died under torture
to save their estates On the other
hand, owners of choice properties
coveted by the state could be put to
torture and made to confess anything
in order to confscate their holdings.
Reports Of Trials Choice Items.
The choicest of the law books, kept
in a locked vault, are the contempo-
rary reports of famous trials-especi-
ally English trials. Among them, for
example, is one of the two or three
contemporary records in existance of
the trial and condemnation of Charles
the First before Parliament. the trial
of the notorious Titus Oakes before
the equally notorious Chief Justice
Jeffries, and trial of Capt. Kidd and
other pirates. OF almost equal value
with the record of the trial of Charles
the First is that of the trial, years
later, of the 'regicides" who condemn
ed him to death. These records have
been reprinted many times, but the
original seventeenth century volumes
are worth almost their weight in gold
and are considered among the greatest
treasures of the National Library.
