FATAL EVIDENCE.
1 he smoking compartment of the
pnlaco car speeding northward was
filled by our own party. Influenced by
the result of the trial tor weeks
engaging public attention our con
versation had for Its subject the
weight and value of circumstantial
evidence. It was not long before It
became an Irregular debate In which
as many diverse opinions were ex
pressed as there were participants
all of our number save one, and ha
the only lawyer of our party, a man
of sedate manner and conservative
habit of mind.
An appeal was made to him to set
tle the disputed points, and after
some hesitation he Bald:
"Your discussion has Interested me.
Permit me to say without offense that
your subject has been discussed as I
would have expected laymen would.
That Is to say. your logic has been
Influenced by your emotions, senti
ments and sympathies aroused by
this particular case. Your appeal to
me Is merely a question, asking
whether or not I believe in circum
stantial evidence and you expect my
miKwer to be a condemnation or con
firmation of the verdict in this case.
That sort of an answer I decline to
nirike, for the reason that I am not
sufllciontly acquainted with the evi
dence in that case to pass a judgment
even to the extent of satisfying my
own mind. Let mo make answer In an
other way by reciting to you an ex
perience of my own when I was a
young member of the profession.
"I began the practice ot my profes
sion in a Western 'county a rural
county, since there was within its bor
ders no large town or city. It adjoined
a county, however, within which there
was a large city, the influence of
which, for good or evil, was felt la
our county. Having struggled for a
few years I was appointed assistant
district attorney and I entered on my
duties with great enthusiasm for the
work aud a high respect for tradition
pnd tho authorities. In a year's time
through the serious and prolonged 111
ress of my chief, the responsibility
for the administration of the office de
volved on my shoulders.
"This was the situation when the
office was called on to conisder the
case of Henry Crossman, murdered
cn the highway, about ten miles from
the town of our office, midway be
tween the railway depot and the next
station next above our town. He had
been stabbed to death in a most bru
tal manner after, as was evident, a
pallant fight for his life. A farmer,
passing to the station with produce
found the body Just after daylight. A
short distance from the body was
found a dirk knife of unusual make
and In his pocket a letter threatening
his life. His money, watch, chain. Jew
elry and valuable papers were found
undisturbed, putting robbery as a mo
tive out of the question.
"The dirk knife was quickly recog
nized as belonging to the next door
neighbor of Crossman, Albert Stet
son; the threatening letter was
signed by Albert Stetson. You will
not be surprised, therefore, to know
that suspicion fell on Albert Stetson,
"I began an investigation at once
and sufficient motive for the deed
was found at the outset. Henry Cross
man was a real estate dealer and
speculator, with his oFce In the near
by large city, dealing principally In
pi opei ties In our county. He lived
In a village three quarters cf a mile
from the railroad station next beyond
the town of my office and residence.
He was a man with few or no friends,
widely feared and generally distrust
ed as a sharp, cunning, tricky man,
hard at a bargain, taking advantage
of technicalities, fertile in preparing
sharp traps for the unwary, treading
closely on the line dividing honesty
and dishonesty, overbearing in his
manner, indifferent to the good or bad
opinion of men and sometimes given
to drinking, and when In his cups,
most disagreeable.
"Albert Stetson lived next door to
him and was an unmarried man not
of unblemished character. He lived
with his mother and furnished her
support and that of a sister by con
ducting an express business between
the large city and the smaller towns
on the railroad line for fifteen miles
out. He was rough in manner and
speech and much given to drink. He
was Impulsive, quick to anger, and
under its excitement quick to revenge
aud prone to deed3 of violence. Con
stantly in trouble over his blows and
ti;;liU, lie bud earned the reputation
of being a turbulent fellow, whom
it wus well to avoid, especially when
he had beer, drinking. On the other
side, he was regarded as an honest
can, upright in his dealings, coura
geous, with a rough sort of manli
ness that prevented hi in from harbor
ing malice
"Now, as the motive. Stetson and
Grossman had quarreled over the for
mer's chickens, which the latter
claimed had been permitted to roam
at large and enter his garden to its
Injury and detriment, aud threatened
that if it were not stopped he would
kill them. One morning SteUon found
ou the rear poich of the house ten
dead hens, with a sl'p of paper, on
Blue Front Stables,

which was written, "the compliment
of Henry Crossman." Stetson flew
Into a passion, but a glance at tho
chicken yard suddenly nllayed the
storm. He went Into the yard and
counted his hens, doing Into the
house, he wrote a brief note thank
ing Crossman for his present and ex
pressing fear that In his generosity
he had robbed hlmBelf. CrosRman
read the note, gasped, went to his
own chicken yard, counted his own
hens and found ten missing. He bad
killed his own hens and presented
them to Stetson.
"The episode put 8tetson In great
good humor and he told the Joke to
all who would listen and ended by
feeling very kindly to the one whq
had given him so much amusement,
Crossman said little, and when jibed
about the matter merely said the
gnme was not yet over. Some days la
ter he asked Stetson to lend htm $50
for ton days, offering his note for the
amount. Stetson did so unhesitatingly,
receiving the note of hand, which he
placed In his pocket. The ten days
went by and Crossman made no offer
to pay the note. After several days
the two, Crossman and Stetson, met
sne morning at the railroad station,
and, In the presence of five bystand
ers, Stetson demanded the payment
of the note. Crossman denied that It
was due. Stetson declared It was.
Crossman referred him to the note.
Stetson took It from his pocket and
read that the note had been made
payable "ten days after death."
"Crossman laughed and the bystan
ders laughed, but Stetson was
stunned. The train drew up at the
station and Crossman, bound for the
city, boarded It with the remark that
he 'was square as to those chickens.'
Stetson shot after him the assertion
that the note would fall due ten days
from date. As the train rolled away
Stetson let loose his temper, declar
ing he would have the heart's blood
of Crossman. He displayed a dirk
knife the one found near the dead
body of Crossman his possession of
which was well known, and calling
upon bystanders to observe It, de
clared that with It he would make the
cheating blood of Crossman flow from
his body. The bystanders gave little
heed to his words then, for they were
accustomed to his extravagant utter
ances when angry, but one Andrew
Mincher, a morose, reserved man,
who was known to be a bitter enemy
of Crossman, through having been
cheated in some transaction, sympath
ized with Stetson, denouncing Cross
man's trick and thereby fanning Stet
son's anger to a greater heat.
"After this Stetson went to his of
fice, which was In the general store,
where also was the post office. Here
he wrote a letter to Crossman, which
he read aloud to several there, de
manding instant payment of the $50,
declaring if It were not paid he would
take Crossman's 'heart's blood on
Bight.' He sealed and deposited the
latter In the post office In the pres
ence of witnesses. An hour later he
took the train for the city and the
same train bore Andrew Mincher,
who kept alive Stetson's anger by
denunciations of Crossman's trick.
"The station agent, fearing should
Stetson and Crossman meet in the
city, the former -under the Impulse
of his anger would do Injury to Cross
man with his knife, tried to borrow
it from Stetson, but unsuccessfully.
"That evening at 6 o'clock Stetson
stepped from the train and crossed
to his office. It was noticed at the gen
eral store that he had been drinking
heavily, but be was quiet in demean
or and seemed to be composed In spir
it. After Bitting at his deBk In the
transaction of business he found there
for half an hour, or until 6:35 P. M.,
he left and went to the bar of the
hotel, where he drank several times,
remaining there twenty minutes,
when he went out, taking the road
to hlB home, three-quarters of a mile
distant.
"At 7 o'clock Crossman arrived by
train at the station, and, as was his
Invariable habit, went to the post of
fice to get his mail. Those who knew
that Stetson's letter was In his box
watched him as he opened and read
11. He sneered as he perused it, fold
ed it up deliberately and placed It in
his wallet and, turning to those stand
ing near by, said:
" 'Stetson Is a fool. He has put
himself absolutely In my power. I can
land him In jail, for he has threat
ened to kill me, and has put It down
In black and white over his own sig
nature.' "He went out, taking the same road
that Stetson had a few minutes be
fore. "The next morning, as I have des
cribed, with the knife of Stetson be
side him and the threatening letter
of Stetson In his pocket, he was
found dead, stabbed by the knife,
covered with blood.
"Now," continued the old lawyer,
"I presume no one who has listened
to me doubts for a moment that Stet
son killed Crossman. No one saw him
do it, but the motive was clear and
unmistakable, and the intention to do
so had been declared In words before
witnesses and in the letter to Cross
man, and the Instrument by which be
was to do the deed displayed, and
that instrument, the one by which
the deed was done. There was one
more point of weight. When Stetson
stepped from the train he asked the
station agent If Crossman had yet re
turned from the city, and being in
formed that he had not, he had said,
'Then I'm not too late for the thiev
ing rascal.' The case was complete,
direct, unmistakable, and yet wholly
circumstantial as strong as could be
presented.
"It was the first murder case I bad
ever been engaged in, and I felt the
responsibility of It deeply; all the
more that my chief was was so 111 as
to be Incapacitated, and I could not
even consult him as to a single step.
Therefore. I went about the prepara
tion of the case with great care and
caution. Of course, I had had Stetson
arretted. He was found at bis home,
not having left it on the day the
body was found, asserting that he had
been taken HI during the night. He
stoutly asserted his Innocence, de
claring that he had not seen Cross
man after he bad boarded the train
the previous morning, and that he
had lost bis dirk knife the previous
day, missing it In the city shortly
after noon; and he further asserted
that when be had left the hotel bar
he had gone directly home. Despite
his protestations be was confined
without bail and In due time was In
dicted. Millions will be spent in politics

"When I had prepared my case nnd
had convinced myself there was neith
er flaw nor break In the chain. 1
sought an eminent Jurist In a remote
part of the Btate, to whom I had an
approach, and submitted my facts to
lilm, asking him to criticise and ad
vise me. With patience and careful
scrutiny he went over the case, pro
nounced it without a flaw, emphatic
ally assuring me that there was not
the least doubt of Btetson'B guilt, snd
congratulated me In saying that I was
fortunate In having for my first mur
der case one in which the facts and
proof were so clear.
"The trial came. I proved my
charge. The defense was weak, in the
nature of things practically no de
fense at all. On the stand Stetson ad
mitted the threats and the letter, but
denied the crime, and again assert
ed that he had lost his knife on the
day he had displayed it. There was
a witness to prove that he had so de
clared at 1 o'clock before the mur
der and had been seen searching his
clothes for It. His mother swore posi
tively that he had arrived home be
fore the arrival of the 7 o'clock train
and had gone directly to bed, being
under the Influence of liquor, as she
admitted. She testified that it was
her habit to observe the whistle ot
the train as a check upon her clock,
and she knew that train was not In
when her son had arrived home. The
deduction being, of course, that as he
had not gone out again and as that
train brought Crossman they could
not have met. To strengthen this was
the testimony that the train that night
was at least five minutes late. This,
with the further fact that It was
shown that there were no stains of
blood on Stetson's clothes, as might
naturally be expected, after such an
encounter, constituted all the defense.
Stetson was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged, and In time was duly
executed, at each successive step to
his death solemnly asserting his In
nocence of the crime, such being his
last words on the scaffold.
"I presume," said the lawyer, look
ing about our group hanging our In
terest earnestly on his tale, "I pre
sume that though all of you have de
nounced circumstantial evidence as
having too great an element of uncer
tainty to be wholly convincing where
the point of taking a man's life is
concerned, you, none of you, have nny
doubt on my statement that the ver
dict In this case was a righteous one,
and that the hanging of Stetson was
Justified."
He paused for a reply. All agreed
that It was so, and one of us re
marked that he thought the evidence
was rather direct than circumstantial.
"No," replied the lawyer, "It waB
wholly circumstantial."
"But," persisted the ov who had
spoken, "not like that In the case wo
were discussing."
"Perhaps," replied the lawyer. "But
I decline to discuss or speak of that
case for the reasons I have given you.
My point Is on this case of circum
stantial evidence, a Jury of twelve
men sworn to do their duty could
have brought in no other verdict than
it did."
All of us agreed that this was so.
"Well, gentleman, Albert Stetson
was an Innocent man. He had not
caused the death of Henry Crossman."
A gasp ran over the group as all
of us caught our breath.
"One night, six months after the
execution of Stetson, when I was
about retiring for the night, a physi
cian with whom I was well acquaint
ed hurriedly drove up to my door and
asked me to accompany him to the
bedside of a dying man, who for a
day had been praying and begging
that I should be brought to him. 1 en
tered the carriage with the doctor,
who told me that the case had been
under his charge for six months and
had completely baffled him, as he
could find no real disease, and that
he had become convinced that the
wasting away was due to a mental
trouble that he could not reach.
"The man was Andrew Mincher. He
was very weak when I reached him,
but when I sat beside him the excite
ment of my coming gave him the
strength to confess in the presence
of the physician and myself that he,
and not Albert Stetson, had murdered
Henry Crossman. His story was brief.
He had borne an Implacable hatred
ot Crossman and in secret nursed all
sorts of ideas of vengeance against
the man who had wronged blm. When
the chicken-note episode came be- '
tween Crossman and Stetson he saw
in Stetson and his anger the Instru
ment of his revenge and sought to fan
the flames to a pitch when Stetson
would Inflict injury on CrOBsman. But
when traveling to the city with Stet
son he found that bis anger was burn
ing out; after the first fierce outburst
he conceived the Idea of killing Cross
man himself, knowing that all the pre
vious circumstances would direct sus
picion wholly and inevitably to Stet
son. To that end also he had taken
the dirk knife from Stetson's pocket,
carried as it was loosely in the side
pocket of a sack coat, without its own
er's knowledge. Arriving home early,
be had laid in wait for Crossman and
was in waiting when Stetson passed
on his way home. When Crossman
came he murdered blm deliberately,
throwing Stetson's knife beside the
body.
"I embraced these facts in an affi
davit, to which we took oath, with the
physician as a subscribing witness.
Mincher died the next day."
The lawyer ended his tale and we
listened for his deduction. But he
smoked his cigar in silence.
"Then," finally, said one of us, "you
do not believe in circumstantial evi
dence 7"
"I am too much of a lawyer," was the
reply, "not to" admit that logically due
weight must be given to it. But after
my experience I would not send any
one to bis death on such evidence
alone. Place him where rectification
could not be made if error bad been
made. The law is wrong on this mat
ter. The law has been wrong in previ
ous years. There was a time when the
penalty of robbery was death. To in
flict it now would be considered bar
barous. Gentlemen, the time is not far
distant when to inflict the penalty of
death for murder proven by circum
stantial evidence alone will be
thought Just as barbarous. It will be
imprisonment for life, when if subse
quent revelation, as in the case I
have recited, is made, life will not
be beyond recall. There Is wide
spread and unjust prejudice against
such evidence, and It Is due to the
want, to the lay mind, of the element
of absolute certainty." Brooklyn

Cure is used In the early stages re
covery la absolutely certain In every

"i or many years I was a great suf
ferer from heart disease twfuye I
dually found relief. 1 was sublaeb
to fainting and sinking spoils, full

to attend to my household duties. I
tried nearly every remedy that wae
recommended to ma and doctored
with tbe leading physicians of this

began taking Dr. Wiles' Heart Cure.
It lias done me mere good than ail
