SAYS JOHN GIBBONS
MUST MAKE ANSWER
OPINION OF JUDGE AHOHBALD
IN THE CONTEMPT CASE.
Scores Examiner Dugtran for Ruling
Contrary to tho Directions of the
President Judge Contumacy Mer
iting This Kebuko If Not Some
thing Mojo Drastic Questions
netd Not lie Confined to Mat
ters Pertaining to tho Treasurer
ship A Vote Can Not Be Part Bad
Bad.
Judge Archbald yesterday handed
down nn opinion for tho court In banc,
directing John Gibbons to make answer
to the nuestlons which he refused to
answer In the election contest.
The opinion nlflo severely scores Ex
aminer T. J. Duggan for upholding tho
witness In his refusal to nnswer ufter
the president Judge had directed that
she should make nnswer.
Mr. Gibbons when first called before
the commissioners answered all ques
tions put to ulm regarding the treas
urcrshlp election, but declined to make
answer to questions pertaining to tho
election In general, holding that he had
been summoned to be examined In tho
matter of the contest for the ofllce
of treasurer nnd that questions foreign
to this particular election were not
germnlne to matter nt Issue,
Mr. Lewis who wns tho only examin
er present at the time, ruled thnt Mr.
Gibbons should answer tho questions.
Hon. M. E. McDonald, counsel for the
respondent. Instructed Mr. Gibbons
that he need not answer. Acting on this
advice, Mr. Gibbons declined to follow
the examiner's Instructions.
The attorneys for the contestant had
the matter certified to Judge Archbald
and 'he directed that the questions be
answered. Mr. Gibbons a. eared at a
subsequent hearing before the examin
ers with his attorney, I. II. Burns, nnd
again refused to nnswer on auvlce ot
counsel whnt he considered improper
and Impertinent questions.
OBJECTIONS SUSTAINED.
At this hearing Examiner Duggan
took an opposite view of the court's
directions from that held by Examin
er Lewis nnd, while tho latter held
that the witness should nnswer ques
tions pertaining generally to the elec
tion, the former upheld Mr. Gibbons In
his course, and us each of the alleged
Impertinent questions were objected to
by Mr. Gibbons' attorney, Examiner
Duggan sustained tho objection.
Mr. Gibbons was cited for contempt
and. after several postponements, tho
matter came up for a hearing beforo
the three juges on Saturday last. Tho
nction of Examiner Duggan, It Is sup
posed, prompted court to withdraw
the contempt feature of the case and
the matter resolved Itself Into tho orig
inal question as to whether or not Mr.
Gibbons should answer the Interroga
tions to which ho had remained silent.
On this matter Judge Archbald speak
ing for the court, buys:
Motion for order on John Gibbons, a
witness, produced by the contestants, to
answer certuln questions.
Tho point Involved In this motion Is tho
same that was previously considered nnd
passed upon by tho president Judge, and
in aci'ordnncn with the opinion then ex
pressed thn witness was bound to nn
swer such relevant questions as might bo
put to him touching tho unlawful receipt
or uso of money by him at the election
in contest. Tho point was made then us
now tliut tho Inquiry should bo confined
lo tho particular olllco in controversy,
but it was expressly declared that It could
not bo so limited. Notwithstanding this
ruling when tho witness was brought be
foro the examiners a second time ho still
persisted In his position and was sup
ported in It by one of the two examiners
appointed to take tho testimony.
NO EXCUSE FOB CONDUCT.
Whatever right tho witness might have
under tho advice or counsel to speculate
with tho circumstance that the order
upon him to unswer had been mado by
but ono member of tho court from whieii
perchnnco upon a further hearing the
other members might differ, thcro Is no
excuse for tho conduct of tho examiner
who saw fit to support him In It. So far
ns ho was concerned tho opinion of tho
court, whether by one member or by nil,
had been cxprcited. and ho was bound to
respect and enforce it. regardless of nh.lt
his own Irdlvldiial opinion might be upon
tho subject. His attempt to overrule It
is nn exhibition of contumacy which not
only merits but calls for this rebuke nnd
would warrant something even inoro
drastic.
All the Judges arc, however, of one mln 1
as to tho duty of tho witness to answer
tho qi estlons which havo been propound
ed to him. Tho constitution absolutely
disqualifies any voter who receives money
or other valuable thing for his vote, anil
tho person wht seeks to obtain it by such
means Is equally under its ban, ft mat
ters not whether this unlawful, lnlluenco
is exerted In behalf of nny candidate or
r-et of candidates: the oter In the fnco
of It votes illegally nnd bis corrupt vote
cannot b allowed to nullify the honest
vote of his uncorrupt neighbor In any
particular.
Tho status of the voter nt the time ho
casts his ballot determines Its legality
and this extends to the whole of it; It can
not be held good In part and bad in part:
it in good or bad altogether. This Is as
true vlth regard to a voter who Is dls
quallflcd on tho ground of corrupt lunii
enee ns It unquestionably Is with rcgnnl
to 0110 v,ho has failed to pay n qualify
ing tax, or has not resided In the district
where he votes a pre per period, or, ir an
alien, has not become duly naturalized.
ITS PUBLIC CHARACTETt.
The proofs ill a contested election nro
dlreetcd to the Inquiry whether the can
didate returned bus In fact received the
voles of tho majority of the qualified
elm tors. This is 11 question between htm
and tiie community nt large as much r.s it
is between blm and his contesting oppo
nent, and It Is tills that gives tho contest
Its public character. Neither party, there
fore, can lay claim to the vote of a cor
rupted voter merely because tho corrupt
lnlluenco wus not exerted in behalf t
lilniEclf but of Bomo other cnndldnte.
The community Is not concerned with
this particular phaso of tho question, noi
ls tho Inquiry prot-tcutcd to I'lscover and
punish tho misdoings of the candidate or
his over-zcalous friends; Its object Is to
slfr out tbu good from tho bail and do
tcrmlno which candidate has rcceUcd an
honest plurality.
It Is suggested, howover that the dls
quutiflcatlon Imposed by this section ot
the ioiistltutlo.1 only goes so far as to re.
quire the volrr. if challetiped on the
ground of bribery, to purge himself of
tho charge by oath or alllrniatlon, before
his '.oto shall bo received, The consti
tution does Indeed provide that this may
bo exacted of him in case the chaUengo
bo made, but It Is absurd to argue that
this Is nil the forco that Is to be given to
It. This provision of tho fundamental law
is one which the community as well pei
haps as tho legal profession seem Blow
of comprehending, and as evldcnco ot It,
In no contested election In this county
up to tho present, has the attempt been
made to disqualify voters on thlB ground.

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers from Piles.
Dr. Kfilmond, n specialist in tho
study and treatment of piles nnd rec
tal diseases, recently stated thnt the
Pyramid Pllo Cure, tho new discovery
for the curr of piles, was the most re
markable remedy ho hart ever seen or
tried In one respect; nnd that wus the
Instant relief experienced In nil cases,
no matter how severe, from tho mo
r.cnt the remedy was applied. This
wus the more surprising to him be
cause he had carefully analyzed the
preparation nnd no trace of opium, co
caine or similar poison could be de
tected. Physicians look with grent favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, becnuso
It is rapidly taking place of surgical
operations nnd because It is so simple,
so easily upplled and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
In cures.
Dr. Estcrbrook reports that thn Pyra
mid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms of piles, but never falls
to give Immediate relief on the first
application, no matter how severe tho
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years ate often astonished nt the
Instant relief experienced from the first
nppllcatlon. Another Important ad
vantage Is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or Interference with dally oc
cupation. Sold by druggists at 30 cents

PENALTY CLEARLY DEFINED.
Tho thing prohibited uud the penalty
Imposed for doing It, nro clearly dcllncd
In these carefully framed sentences, and
there can bo no rcasonuble doubt us to
tho construe tlon to bo given to them. Tho
object sought to be attained by the fram
ers of the constitution wns not merely to
forbid bribery nt an election, but to ren
der it unsuccessful by nullifying Its effect.
The vote corruptly secured is madu Il
legal and no vote at all, both tho
briber and the bribed forfeiting tho right
to it at that election. The Incentive be
ing thus removed tho hopo no doubt was
that the practice would bo obviated or at
least rendered Ineffectual upon tho
proper steps being taken to avoid It.
Hut to hold that the only purpose of It
was to lay ground for a challenge at the
polls on election day from which the
voter could immediately relieve hlmsejr
by his mero oath or nlllrinatlon, Is vir
tually to make nugatory the whole sec
tion of the constitution, a thing which
we lire not piepured to do.
It follows thnt tho witless must submit

upon tht suggested Inquiry. He Is pro

And now, November t.". 1W the witness,

MOST FAMOUS
JMY NURSE
BLACK ANQEI. OF MEKOY AT
MONTAUX AND SANTIAGO.
Interesting Story of the Kind
Hearted Colored Woman Who
Nursod Many of the Bravo Boys
to Life and Health An Immune
Nurse of Two Wars.
Prom Leslie's Weekly.
Just an od colored woman standing
at the door of a tent In white dress,
clean apron, and soldier's wide-brimmed
hat, yet this lt perhaps, the most
famous nurso In the army. This Is
"Auntie" or "Mother," loved by dozens
of boys she brought through tortured
days nt Santiago, blessed by scores ot
fcvcr-strlcken soldiers at Montauk.
It is from old that "Auntie" know
the happenings of the battle-field, for
she nursed and cooked through our
Civil war, nnd for thirty-five years
since then she has faced all tho epi
demics of tho south, small-pox, yellow
fever, typhoid fever, malarial fever,
and come out unharmed. Not without
reason Is she called an Immune nurse.
I had long talks with "Auntie" dur
ing those ead Camp Wlkoft days, and
she gave mo some ot her experiences.
"I have gone through all kinds of
sickness," she said, "I have seen cities
wasted by the plague. I have seen five
hundred men killed and wounded In a
single day, but I never saw anything
like what there was In this war. I
never saw such suffering from npglect,
such tilth, such well, let me give you
the case of Johnson, tho Swede,
"Johnson was stupid, half foolish
with the fever: they get that way.
When I saw him first this was early
In August he was) In the Second divis
ion hospital, about a mile and a half
out of Santiago. The heat wob terrible,
nnd he lay on his bod as naked as the
day when he was born. I cleaned him
nnd covered him, but he fought the
covers off. The files swarmed over his
bed-sores, swarmed into his mouth, and
he would not close It. A dozen times
a day I laid a cloth over hls mouth to
keep the riles out, but he would throw
the cloth away. The flesh of his upper
jnw was eaten away by the files and
their spawn until there was a, hole
there you could put your finger In.
"That Is one of many cases. Some of
the men would shut their mouths on
tho files and we would have to go down
the lino making them open their mouths
quick to lot the files out, or else they
would have choked. Tou do not know
tho Htupor of that Cuban fever. I'd
rather nurse ten caBes of yellow fever
than two cases of that fever.
"And the delirium the crazy delir
ium that la somethlns to remember.
It was partly the fever and partly the
quinine. Always quinine, every few
hours ten grains, twenty grains no
wonder they went mad. One night a
private slashed his wrist across with a
razor and bled to death before morn
ing. Anotheir man, a doctor In the
Second Massachusetts, sprang up one
night and wanted to light everybody,
and then rushed out Into the bushes
stark naked, screaming: 'The Span
iards have got us; the Spaniards have
whipped us! Itun. boys; run!' What a
time I had getting that doctor back to
bed!
"Then there was a corporal in tho
Ninth Massachusetts, a youns fellow
about 25, but ho looked every day of
40. There were boys down there whe.
looked like old men. Well, one night
they told me this corporal was going
to die he was sure to die before morn
ing; and after I lay down I heard hU
screams, hour after hour: 'Aa-i-e,
na-l-e, catch him: catch that man over
In the corner, aa-l-e.'
"The next morning I found him still
alive, and asked htm why he had
made such a racket. He looked up
out or his poor, hollow eyes and whisp
ered! 'Did you hear me? Say, didn't I
yell? Didn't I bluff 'em? They want
ed to dosa me: they said I was dying?
Pshaw! I wasn't dying. I ain't dying,
and I ain't going to die. God's on my
side, nnd '11 fight for my life."
THE CORPOnAL LIVED.
"And that corporal lived pulled
through by clean grit: that's my opin
ion." Then "Auntie" told about coming
home on tho transport. "That was
bad," she said; "that was bad. Sick
men packed everywhere so close you
could hardly bet about: dyinur men on
the upper deck, dying men on tho low
er deck, and wherever I went I'd hear
pitiful cries: 'Nurse, can I see the doc
tor?' 'Nurse, can I have some quinine?'
'Nurse, I feel so bad: I've got such a
pain!' I laughed nnd tried to cheer
them up, but my heart was most brok
en all the time.
"There wns one boy who died at sea.
He wasn't over sixteen. He came from
Ohio. His first name was George; I
didn't know any other name. There
were plenty like him and I used to tell
'rm they ought a-been at school, and so
they had. This boy George used to
keep crying out, not loud, but Just
plnlntlve-llke: 'Oh, nurse; if my moth
er was only here!' I guess he said that
a hundred times. I guess that was
about the last thing ho did say. Ask
that girl what she thinks about Cuba;
she was down at Slboncy."
"Auntie" pointed to a. thin, white
faced girl with close-cropped hnlr.who
wns sitting on a cot In the tent. Sho
was Miss Itosa DIckmann, of New Or
lenns, another "immuno" nurso, as
was thought, yet he had coma down
with the fever hersolf at Slboncy.
This she explained with a smllo of
MdnesH and sweetness strangely
blended,
"It was enough to make you die,"
she said, "Just to be at Slboney: It was
like n valley of death. There wo were,
deep betweeen two high hills, with the
booming- Caribbean sea before us, and
an uwful solitude all around. At night
thero was a flashing of lanterns among
the tents as the doctors moved about,
nnd the moaning of men: 'I'm dylnar,
I'm dying.' I used to He awoke plan
ning how I could escape; that was
when the fever was coming on.
"Just think of It! Thero was noth
ing to cheer one, only death and suf
fering ull nbout you. There was noth
ing to lead, no one to talk to. There
were no Sunday services, and orders
were given that no one should talk re
ligion to the men. It you wanted re
ligious help you must send for a chap
lain, nnd they were kept busy burying
the dead. And yet In all this misery
one of the nurses managed to fall in
love with ono of the doctors It's queer
how love goes on through everything
and she used to get me to rend the
cards for her evury morning; he
managed to get time for thnt, nnd It
amused me. I found out afterwards
that the doctor was a married man
from Philadelphia."
