'UDGE LESLIE'S VIEW UPHELD i .Lr.U' I
Leading Democratic Attorneys Say
Ruling in Perjury Case Right.
IS GIVEN A FULL VINDICATION
l ndrr the rsr I'rrirnlrl In the
Co tit, C'onrt Hp to old Not
Rele OthrrAYUr Than
DlarharKP Orfrndant.
Action of County Judse Charles Leslie,
republican candidate for district Judge.
In discharging Albert Anderson, charged
with perjury in illegal registration was
vindicated Tuesday by the very attorneys
quoted by t lie local democratic organ In
Its attempt to discredit Judge Leslie and
to prejudice honest voters against him.
To attorneys were propounded three
questions, which, Incorporated, form the
following one:
"Is it not the presumption of law In
the absence of evidence to the contrary
that the registration clerks did their duty
and swore all who registered and In the
absence of proof to the contrary should
not the court presume that all whose
mimes are on the registration books were
worn ?"
In practically every eaBe the answer
tv as In tho affirmative. Judge Leslie so
believed and before the Anderson trial
he suggested to Deputy County Attorney
Elllck, who conducted the prosecution of
Anderson, that the state Introduce Its
evidence of Anderson's nonresldence in
the precinct, place In evidence the regis
tration book Bhowlng Anderson's name,
and then rest Its case. Then It would be
up to the defense to 'offer proof to the
contrary. Mr. Elllckl refused to adopt
this plan, saying he believed Introduction
of the registration books would be In
sufficient. He placed the registrar on
the stand, who could not testify to hav
ing administrated the oath and the court
liad to take notice of their faulure and
had to discharge the defendant.
Question it Attorney.
An hypothetical question, covering the
entire situation as it was when Judge
J.eslle ruled, was propounded to Attorneys
Charles A. Gobs, Frank T. Ransom, Kd
1". Smith, John P. lireen and Lysle I.
Abbott.
On the following facts:
Complaint charging perjury having
tieen filed the case comes to hearing. A
witness for the state testifies that the
defendant was a resident of a certain
precinct on a certain day of registration.
The state offers In evidence the regis
tratlon book of the said precinct, showing
the name of the defendant as having
registered as a resident of the said pre
clnct on the said day of registration. The
hook Is received in evidence. The state
places on the witness stand several regis
trars who officiated In said rreclnct on
said day of registration. They Identify
the registration book. They testify that
from examination of the book they pro.
sume the defendant appeared before them
nn was registered by them on the said
day of registration; that they do not
know whether or not they administered
an oath to the defendant; that some of
them knew the defendent personally;
lhat they neglected to swear many appll
cants for registration when some of the
registrars knew them personally. No
other witnesses are placed on the stand,
The state rests Its case. The defendent
iffers no testimony.
Should the court hold the defendant for
trial or discharge him.
Leslie Haled RlKhtlyv
Their answers were as follows:
Charles A. GoSs Certainly not. Under
acts no trial Judge would
case to te Jury In the
illstrkt cmirt; but would have to instruct
the Jury tf acquit the defendant. To bold
the defend nt f"r trial would be simply
to pile up costs against the state.
Frank T. Kansom-l think tho court
should discharge the prisoner.
Kd P. Smith Clearly the defendant
could not be convicted of rerjury on this
evidence. Whether or rot It Is sufficient
to Justify the court In binding him over
for trial. I am rot clear, but In my opinion
it is not.
John r. Rreon No, clearly not, for even
though the books, properly Identified and
offered In evidence, might be presump
tively correct, this presumption would be
overthrown by the testimony of the reg
istrars themrelves.
Lysle I. Abbott As I analyse the state
ment of t.-eli It means that the de-
fendant, according to the evidence of the
state .s a resident ol a certain voting
district; that hit name appears upon the
poll books of that distrlc'; thut It Is not
clear whetnrr be took the registration
oath or no.. Tho crime of perjury con
sists In Dtatl.ig a falsehood under oath.
Had the Jc?ndant stated under oath that
he lived In said voting precinct he
would have stated the truth, according to
the statement of facts. I'nder these cir
cumstances the defendant would neces
iurily be discharged.
Says He Wna Not with the Kid.
According to Kalph E. Sunderland
there must be a case of mistaken Identity
In the report that he was making th
rounds of registration booths Saturday
company with the democratic nominee
for sheriff. He writes The Dee that he
"was not with nor did I see the party
referred to last Saturday," but that he
did with four other men make a tour of
the election booths In the Third and
Tenth wards on Saturday for reasons
that will appear clear to most people."

The efforts that are being made at Lin
coln to sacrifice the interests of Frank
L. Heller, renominated on the republican
ticket for university regent, are making
his friends here and throughout the
state take notice.
The democrats have practically given
up all expectation of electing any one on
their Judicial ticket, and are asking now
merely for complimentary votes. With
the exception of two places the demo
cratic county ticket was thrown Into the
discard some time ago so far as efforts
of the democratic machine are concerned.
A WORLD-WIDE SUCCESS
What Merit end Publicity Have
Accomplished.
An excellent illustration of what may
be accomplished by manufacturing prod
ucts of the highest quality and by pub
lishing in the leading newspapers cor
rect statements of the actual merits of
such products is to be found In the won
derful success of a company In California
engaged In the manufacture of an article
which has attained to world-wide celeb
rity and Is now In general demand in all
civilized countries throughout the world,
because of the universal satisfaction
which It has given to all who have used
it. Starting with an advertising appro
priation of less than 20O monthly, the
company selected the best and most re
liable publications to make known to the
world the merits of its product and has
gradually Increased Its list -and extended
Us advertising until the present time,
when JjOO.OOO are being paid out annually
by the company for advertising In all
the leading newspapers throughout the
world. We refer to the California Fig
Syrup company, which Is engaged In the
manufacture of that very agreeable,
wholesome and efficient liquid laxative
remedy, known everywhere as California
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna,
remedy of such excellence that it has
received the general approval of the
medical profession, as well as the favor
able Judgment of many millions of faml
lies in this country and In foreign lands.
In the process of manufacture the soluble
part of the blue figs of California U
formed Into a syrup to serve as a whole
some vehicle for the very beneficial and
efficient laxative and carminative princi
ples of the company's aromatic Elixir of
Senna, produced In all its perfection by
the original process of the company, un
der the direction of Its learned and spe
cially trained chemists, who devote their
entire time to Its production. The chem
ists of the company are paid large
salaries to devote their entire time to the
selection of the best materials and com
bining them In the most sclentlflo manner
In order to maintain the absolute purity
and uniformity and efficiency of the com
pany's product- Some Idea of the ex
cellence and value of California Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna may be had
from a consideration of the fact that the
product has been passed upon by the
scientific organizations of chemists and
physicians in nearly all the leading coun
tries of the world and haa been officially
recognized by them as a laxative remedy
of known excellence of the highest
quality.
When traveling around the world one
may purchase California Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna of the leading drug
gists in all sections of America and
Europe, and also in the principal cities
of Asia, Africa and Australia, wherever
one may happen to be, so widespread haa
become the demand for this popular laxa
tive remedy. It required years of Intro
ductory work, however, to make It known
to all the peoples of the world, and the
representatives of the California Fig
Syrup company had to appear before the
scientific bodies of Europe and submit
samples of the materials used, with a
statement of the method of manufacture,
In order to obtain governmental sanation
for Its Introduction and use, and this
was especially the case In the principal
countries of Europe, where the require
ments are very rigid and where only the
best medicinal agents are allowed. As a
tesult of the Immense demand created
throughout the world and the conclusive
evidences of its value as a laxative
remedy many Imitations of this excellent
remedy have been offered by unscrupu
lous manufacturers and mercenary dealers
for the sake of the larger profit which
the Imitations afforded, but as the lml
tatlona are of an Injurious and Inferior
character they are always declined by
the well Informed, who wish the genuine
only. To get the beneficial effects of the
genuine California Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, which Is put up In
original packages of one size, always
look for the full name of the company-
California Fig Syrup company plainly
printed upon the front of every package
and refuse the Imitations If they are
offered.
If you have anything to sell or exchange
advertise It In the Want Ad Columns of
The Bee and get immediate results.
