Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 71, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1913 — Circumstantial Evidence. [ARTICLE]

Circumstantial Evidence.

This is one subject on which wellknown authorities differ as widely as on any subject that has ever demanded careful and thoughful consideration from the brightest jurists, journalists and political ebonomists. To all, the question, “Is it right or just to convict a man of any crime on purely circumstantial evidence,” has proven an unsolvable question. In his play “The Convict Millionaire, Mr. Carlos Inskeep does not attempt to solve this problem, he simply shows how easy it is to convict a man on circumstantial evidence of the most conclusive type, and still the man i£ innocent. He shows that we pften in our own minds convict persons on general appearances, when if we but knew the truth and their real selves, they are good, kind, and strictly honest. To all who enjoy a play with a great moral, plenty of the very best comedy, a story that never lags and contains all the requisites of a pleasing performance, see ‘The Convict Millionaire.” It never fails to please.
