JUDGE H03TETTER FLAYS JURY.
Says Acquittal of Garland la Travesty
on Justice,
DroU-Mi Bow, Neb., Sept. 28. Judge
Hostetter has created a sensation by
duclailng that thojury which heard tho
evidence against Jnmos Garland,
charged with the murder of John Sun
deiion sexernl months ago, was afraid
lo do Its duty. It was a dramatic
fceeno when the Judge, following a
verdict ot acquittal, declared the ver
dict to b" a travesty on j'Htlc.
"Gentlemen, you are discharged
trotn further consideration of this
case," tald the Judge, "but I believe
that as judge of this court and con
servatoi ur the law, that It Is mj duty
to say a most giluvous mistake has
been made I believe the uxldcnco be
yond doubt Justified a verdict of first
degree murder The evidence of fif
teen leputuble men, who were oje-wlt.
nesses, should ccttalnly havo been ac
cepted, as agaimU the uncorroborated
evidence of the defendant himself. As
the crime remains unpunished, tho
white robe of justice has the blood
stains of n victim upon Its folds. God
pity society when trembling men re
fuse to do their duty and enforce the
laws or our great commonwealth."
At this point tho Judgo was ovor
conns with Indignation and broke down
completely. The verdict was a start

".Mr. Chairman, In delhorlng my ad
dress n few days since on jvostal con
ditions, In dUeussIng the Interpreta
tion of the law ns to the weighing of
the nmll, I failed to sta'e the law on
the subject, und I wlnh to do so now:
'"The average weight to he ascer
tained, In every ense, by the actual
neighing of the malls for mch n num.
ber of successive working duys, not
lesp than thirty, at such times after
June 30, 1873, nnd not less frequently
than once in every four yearn.'
"Later the time was chnnged to
ninety days. Otherwise the luw hiw
not been clmnged to this date.
"Until Mnrel. 2, 1007, the dcimrt
nicnt required tlio mall to be weighed
for ninety days, Sundny was not con
sidered, so that the weighing covered
n period of one hundred nr.d five days
Instead of ninety successive dnys. In
other words, working days were con
strued to mean week dayH. Postmas
ter General Cortelyou chnnged this In
terpietation which had been accepted
ns correct for over thirty years nnd
lsHind the following order na his con
struction of the lnw:
"'That when tlie weight of mail la
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the malls are weighed
shall be ii!cd as n divisor for obtain
ln the average weight per day
"This required In effect, that, In
stead of dividing Uie number of work
ing or week days In Uie weighing
period, the devisor should be the num
ber of Oii.vh on which mall was nctunl
ly carried during Uie period. If It
was weighed one hundred and five
days, tl.e divisor to obtain the dally
weight wan one hundred nnd five. K
the mail was not carried on Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This, its
yon run readily see. would give les
compensation for currying the full
week than for six days, for the nc,
cumulated mall would he practically
the s.i me whether carried In six dnyii
or in so en.
"The present postmaster general,
sreiiifj this predicament, luuipd another
order of construction, known ns 'order

""Hint when the weight or mall Is
taken on rnilrund routes the whole

for obtaining the nverage weight per
day.'
If the construction up to last year
wns right, then there has been with

"It was from what I saved from my

Mr. Cannon now tell the people how

appioxlmately thut sum represents his

If that be true. It Is to be hoped
that the speaker will give details us

let him tell exactly how much he b
