Circumstantial Evidence. Tn every criminal case in which the man on rial was not seen by reputable witnesses in the
actual commission of a crime courts and juries are compelled to rely on circumstantial evidence. This means that the guilt of the man charged with the crime is to be deemed proved beyond a
reasonable doubt if the major circumstances
point in that direction and a record of events is
shown in which the happenings 'fit together as
inks in a chain. Yet, in most cases, there is usu
ally a remote doubt, even when a strong array of
circumstances leading to the crime is presented
v or this reason there is a tendency against hold
ing a man punishable by death when he is convicted of a capital offense on circumstantial evidence. This feeling has as much to do with the sentiment against the death penalty as any other one thing. Illinois is now investigating a case in which is charged the weakness of circumstantial evidence, but it is doubtful if much will oome of it for the reason that the man most concerned was
hanged ten years ago this month. George Painter
was charged with the murder of his sweetheart for the reason that he had been seen leaving the
girl's house an the night of the murder and the
next morning the girl was found dead in bed,
having been choked to death. The circumstantial
case against Painter could not be broken down, but the matter dragged along for two years,
reached the supreme court, which refused to grant a retrial and Painter was hanged, denying his guilt to the last. Now, according to a man
named Baxter, the real murderer of the young woman was a tramp who called himself Jack Cade and who says that Cade confessed to him. Cade is now dead. There may not be any truth in Baxter's story. It may be the tale of a fanciful dreamer or a notoriety seeker, but it is recalled that Painter was convicted on circumstantial evidence alone. The doubt is re-awakened that circumstantial evidence may have hanged an innocent man. At any rate another question mark has been placed against circumstantial evidence in trials demanding the extreme penalty. Dayton News.

Was Richmond visited by an earthquake during the last week? Several Main street merchants believe this to be the case, for during the last few days five large plate glass windows between Sixth and Eleventh streets have cracked, amounting to about $400 In damages to the owners, as most, of the glass will have to be replaced. The most probable solution offered is that the freezing and thawing weather has caused the glass to expand and contract causing the cracking.

In all my world-wide travels I've yet to find its equal as a slow-burning, cool-tasting, sweet -flavored tobacco. TUXEDO satisfies me completely."
