A LEGAL INCIDENT.
A TRAGIC ENDING OF AN UNJUST
CRIMINAL CONVICTION.
What Krone Circumstantial Evidence
DM In tha C«M of a Trusted Clark.
Be Died When He Learned That Ha
Waa Innocent Before the Law.
The following thrilling story comes
from the lips of * well known member
of the Pennsylvania bar:
A very bad and dishonest failure had
occurred, in which a certain trusted
clerk seemed to have been guilty of the
larger share of the crime. He, with his
employer, was arrested and charged
with the crime. The clerk stoutly pro
tested bis innocence and denied all
knowledge of the fraud or any connec
tion with his employer.
However, there was a chain of cir
cumstantial evidenoe woven around him
which was exceptionally strong and
which hia counsel could not break down,
although he was firmly convinced him
self of his innocence. The clerk was
convicted and sent to Jail for a term of
Tears.
After being confined in prison for
about a year the poor fellow's mind be
gan to weaken, and finally he broke
down completely. He was taken from
prison and transferred to a hospital for
the insane. All the time the clerk con
tinned to protest his innocence. After
he had been confined in the hospital
three or four years, certain facts in the
failure were elicited which clearly proved
that the unfortunate clerk was entirely
innocent of having committed any crime.
Of course steps were immediately
taken to secure the pardon of the man;
the facts were laid before the pardon
board at their next meeting and an order
was given for his immediate release.
It now became the delicate duty of
the counsel in the case to break the
happy intelligence to the pardoned clerk
Bnt tbe question that confronted them
was what could be done to restore his
reason, and would he believe the news?
If his mind could not be restored he
could not be taken away. What could
be done? After a consultation between
the counsel on both sides of the case it
was agreed to call upon the poor clerk
and make an attempt to rouse him from
the apathy and lethargy into which he
had fallen. This they decided to do by
accusing him again of the theft of the
funds. Whenever this subject was
broached he always roused himself and
became greatly animated, always vigor
ously denying it.
While his mind was aroused by this
stimulus it had been decided that one of
the counsel was to announce that the
matter had been fully investigated and
his innocence fully established. The
parties to this strange drama assembled
iv the room of the stricken man. He
sat silent and immovable, with his head
in his hands.
As the old and ever rankling charge
of dishonesty fell upon his ear? the ef
fect was exactly that which had been
foreseen and expected. He slowly raised
his head. Looking his peeudo accuser
straight ln the eye he repeated, in a
loud tone of voice, with a rising inflec
tion and with great energy, "It is a lie."
The critical moment had come. The
lawyer who had prosecuted him and se
cured his incarceration then stepped up
to him and said: "You are right. It is a
lie, and you stand before the community
a vindicated man. I have the order for
your release in my pocket,"
Then the lawyers stood off to watch
the effect, hoping that the joy at the
prospect of release and vindication would
have the effect of putting the clerk again
in his right mind. But no sign of joy
overspread the man's features. His face
bore its usual stolid expression. It
seemed to have no apparent effect upon
him.
The clerk turned hie face toward tbe
speaker, as if ho did not understand him.
Then his head fell forward, and tbe man
was precipitated upon the floor at the
feet of the lawyers. A single glance
sufficed. He was dead.—Green Bag.
A Wooden Statue ln Tokio.
In Tokio, the capital of Japan, there
exists a gigantic statue of a woman,
made of wood and plaster and dedicated
to Hachiman, the god of war. In height
it measures fifty-four feet; the head
alone, which is reached by a winding
stairway in the interior of the figure,
being large enough to comfortably hold
twenty persons. The figure holds a
huge wooden sword in one hand (the
blade of the weapon being twenty-seven
feet long) and a ball twelve feet in
diameter in the other.
Internally the figure is fitted np with
an extraordinary anatomical arrange
ment, supposed to represent the differ
ent portions of the brain. A fine view
of the country is obtained by looking
throngh one of the eyes of the statue. —

. 100 Much of a Good Thing.
A French paper relates that Baron de
Late, late prime minister of the king of
Bavaria, was mnoh addicted to shroud
ing all his actions in mystery. Having
seriously hnrt both his legs on one occa
sion, he consulted a Separate doctor for
each of his injured limbs. The one who
treated the right leg was totally un
aware that a fellow practitioner had
been called in for the left one, and vice
vena.
Joat fancy that, instead pf his two legs,
each of hie ten toes had been diseased!
Why, it wonld have taken a fortnne to
pay the bills of ten doctors.—La Setti-
One Year'a Sal* of Stamps.
The number of postage stamps used
in a year is something enormous. For
instance, the ordinary postal revenue for
the year ending June ao, 1891, exclusive
of tie money order business, was $63,
- this 141,483,129.80 came
from letter postage. The bulk of this
is of course in two cent stamps, and it
U safe to put the whole number of this
denomination need at more than two
billions per annum.-—Kate Field's Wash
ington. ___________
Saved a Woman's Life.
Mr. J. E. Thoroogrhgood, writing from
Georgetown, Delaware, says: "Two tea
spoonsful of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea remedy saved the life
of Mra. Jane Thomas, of this place."
He also states tbat several other very
bad cases of bowel complaint there have
been cured by this remedy. For sale by

LOS ANGELES HERALTJ; THURSDAY MINING, AUGUST 25, 1892.
"Hans;Vour Clothes on a Hickory Limb."
After the raflier unsatisfactory ex
perience of last season the district coin
tttissioners have decided to experiment
further with the free bathing beach.
This time, however, there is to be no
risk of life, provided the plans of the
commissioners are successful. Last sea
son the beach was open to all comers,
but in the future none but experienced
swimmers will be allowed to enjoy the
privilege. With this end in view the
commissioners have, through their sec
retary, Dr. Tindall, addressed the fol
lowing communication to the superin
tendent of the beach:
"The commissioners direct me to no
tify you to permit persons who can swim
to use the public bathing beach till
otherwise notified. You will not permit
any one to use the beach unless satisfied
by personal observation that he can
swim."
A perusal of this order will show that
the commissioners have imposed a rather
complicated and important duty on Su
perintendent Stevens. By a strict com
pliance with the order no candidate for
cleanliness will be allowed to enter the
water unless he can swim, and the su
perintendent is first to determine one's
ability in that direction by "personal
observation." Just how Superintendent
Stevens is to separate the experts from
the raw recruits by mere "personal ob
servation" is rather difficult to under
stand, unless he should subject appli
cants to an exhibition of their natatory
agility on dry land.—Washington Post.
Shark and Swimmer.
Henry Jacobson, who is employed at
the North Manukau Heads as beacon
light keeper, was out in his boat six
miles down the harbor when it was
struck by a squall and swamped and the
occupant left in the water. Jacobson
dived and endeavored to relieve the bal
last, but without success. He then
grasped an oar, and being a good swim
mer, struck out for land, but as a strong
tide was running he was swept down
the harbor a distance of three miles.
At that point he was attacked by a
large shark, which grabbed at his hand.
He protected himself, however, with the
oar, which he tried to ram down the
shark's throat. The fish then made a
circle around him and renewed the at
tempt. By this time, however, Jacob
son had his sheath knife drawn and des
perately stabbed the shark, ripping its
side open so that the water became red
with blood.
A further attadt was made, when
Jacobson again stabbed the monster
near the tail and it swam away. At that
time a boat came in sight. Jacobson,
too much exhausted to speak, was hauled
into the boat, having been in the water
two hours and thirty minutes.—New
Zealand Herald.
Eight Thousand Flowers on the Table.
It must take nearly half an acre of
glass to cover the flowers of the White
House conservatory. It keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers from
orchids to roses are in bloom here. There
are broad india rubber plants whioh
are worth from $50 to $100 apiece, and
there are'some flowers which are abso
lutely worth their weight in gold. On
the night of a White House dinner or
reception the whole mansion is deco
rated with flowers, and at one state
dinner not long ago there was a floral
piece on the table which used 8,000 flow
ers in ita making.
At a dinner to the supreme court 2,000
flowers were used to make a temple of
justice, and at the last diplomatic recep
tion the mantels of the parlors were
banked up with flowers, and at another
time they were covered up with im
mense double tulips rising out of banks
of green —Oor. Philadelphia Record.
A Mixed Up Affair.
Recently on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad a train ran over and
killed a cow near Thompson, Term. A
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the
engineer and took him before a justice
of the peace, where he was tried for
cruelty to animals. The passenger train
was held four hours, during which time
the mails were delayed. It seems that
the prosecutors have gotten themselves
in a bad fix.
Warrants have been issued by a judge
for the arrest of the justice of the peace,
the officer who made the arrest, the
sheriff and the lawyer for contempt of
court, as the road is in the hands of a
receiver and permission must be secured
to sue the road. The superintendent of
the mail service is also after them.—
Atlanta Letter.
A Japanese Anniversary.
This year being the I,looth anniver
sary of the Emperor Ewammn's estab
lishing his capital at Kioto, Japan, the
people are busy preparing for a suitable
celebration of the occasion. Kioto city
was founded by the Emperor Kwammu,
who took up his abode in Tamashiro
province, which was then unbuilt, and
gradually the city arose around bis pal
ace, so that the emperor's memory is
especially honored. There will proba
bly be an exhibition opened in Kioto for
the occasion.—San Francisco Call.
Burns in Bohemian.
Burns in Bohemian has a curious
sound, but no less rfh enterprise has been
undertaken by Professor J. D. Sladek,
the editor of the Prague newspaper
Lumir, then a translation of some 150
of the songs and ballads of Burns into
Czech This version is shortly to be pub
lished by the Royal Academy of Science
and Letters in Prague. In every in
stance the Bohemian translator has pre
served ftie metrical form of the original,
an extraordinary feat of skill and pa
tience. —London Atheuseum.
Gold Water Without Ice.
Get a common earthenware pitcher,

the more porous, wrap it all around,
leaving no inch of it bare, with wet
flannel. Keep the flannel wet and the
water will shortly be as cold as is good
for drinking purposes, almost ice cold.

A Scared Animal.
Swift footed animals that have been
tamed, with abundant facilities for mak
ing a living of their own, are apt to take
French leave in spite of kind treatment,
although in moments of danger such
renegades will sometimes remember an
old protector and volunteer to renounce
their habits of truancy. The poet trader
of the Forbin de San Pablo, near Maa>
atlan, raised a young ocelot, which hung
abont the honso, or rather the ranch, for
a couple of years, but at last ceased to
recognize the authority of its landlord.
Juanita would absent herself for weeks
together and visit the post only as a
guest, or a privileged member of an in
specting committee, for she rummages
the premises, appears and disappears
without asking anybody's leave, and re
sents every attempt at familiarity on
the part of her former owner. But one
evening she had just entered the store
when a troop of horsemen alighted at
the gate, and a minute later a govern
ment scout with a big wolf dog stepped
up to the counter, while his companions
deposited their saddlebags near the open
door.
Juanita cast an uneasy glance at the
blockaded door and in the next instant
caught sight of the dog and he of her,
when the attitude of both parties be
came so disagreeably suggestive of an
impending set-to that the scout reached
for a stick to chase the dog out. But
Juanita either misconstrued his motive
or had already made up her mind to se
cure a vantage ground, for just when he
faced about she leaped upon the counter
and with the next jump upon the shoul
der of her old master, and there pro
ceeded to "get her back up," growling
viciously and bristling up to twice her
natural size, like a cat.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
About a National Flower.
There ie very little use in talking-about
an American national flower. We are
not a nation, no matter how many big
N's we may put to the word, in the sense
that Englishmen and Frenchmen consti
tute a nation. What is typical in one
section of onr continental republic is
not typical in another, and an emblem
which might mean a great deal in New
England or New York would have but
an artificial significance in Louisiana or
California. State flowers we might
have, and to some extent we do have
them. California has formally adopted
the Eschscholtzia, or California poppy,
as its emblem. Maine men wear a pine
branch when they want to indicate what
state they have come from.
Our Massachusetts flower 1b naturally
the trailing arbutus, and that ought to
be formally adopted as our emblem. At
the Grand Army encampment nearly
every state delegation wore something
which waa characteristic of the state.
We comprehend ourselves better if we
divide ourselves np by forty-four, aud
there are enough plants and flowers to
go around.—Boston Transcript.
Admitted tbe t acts.
Newspaper editors have to be very careful In
opeuing their columns for statements. But
aware that the Dr. Miles Medical 00. are re
sponsible, we make room for the following tes
timonial from K. McDougall, Auburn, Ind.,
who for two years noticed a stoppage or skip
ping of the pulse, his left side got so tender he
could nit lie on it, his heart fluttered, he was
alarmed, went to different doctors, found no 1
relief, but one bottle of Dr. Miles' New Heart
Cnre cured him. The elegant book, New and
