Tliolr repugnnnco for cir cumstantial evidenco has occasioned considerable discussion throughout the atato of California. Judges nnd lnwycrs are of the opinion thnt good clrcuin iRtantlal evidence is the bent in tho world, for "circumstances do not lie." Tho Judges nnd lawyers may bo right, ,but If the pardon books of tho peniten tiaries from Sing Sing to San Qucntln 'wtri'o Hpread beforo our renders doubts would nrfso In their inlndR us to tho efficiency of any hind of ovldence. Kvcry llttlo whllo brief paragraphs In tho newspapers nnnounco tho pardon ing of some unfortunate from stato prison, It having been discovered that G BOUGH NELSON, he was entirely Innocent of tho crime for which ho was convicted. Tho books of Snn Qucntln reveal n number of such cases, and yet the law not only grants no recompense to Its living vic tims, but llnds more. Hero aro a fow rumple rases: George Nelson, n fresco painter, had the pleasure of spending two years In San Qucntln because his volco sounded like that of a robber named Dorsey, alias Thorn. Ho was churged with robbery, nnd attempted to provo an alibi by a Swedo and his wlfo at whoso placo ho secured his sup per. Through fear of being Implicated (lu tue crime tho Swede uud his wife denied that they had ever set eyes on Nelson. Upon circumstantial evidence a Sacramento Jury convicted him, and ho was sentenced to ton years Impris onment. Two years nftr vanl two men, Shinn and Dorsey, were nrrested in tho Kast nnd brought back to tho coast. It had been discovered that they, Instead of Nelson, committed the robbery. Dor sey made n confession when confronted with proofs of IiIr guilt. He Is now In San Qucntln. Nelson domnuded dmn ages tor his sufferings mid lujtirod In nocence soon after his pardon In 1891. A liberal legislature allowed him $7,000, but the state never paid him tho money. Tho best he' secured wbh a little work on tho stato capltol. , Charles Dental, an' old Frenchman, was cviivictcd of murder In tho second degree In Hoccr Co., Cal., nnd started to nerve a lift sentence on May 2C, 1809. Ho was convicted on circumstantial evidence, and on July 10, 18S5, ho was released from San Quentln, It having bcon discovered that he was Innocent nnd was convicted becauso he was poor and friendless, and unable to speak the JOHN FUNHLLA. English language. Dental never even receUcd ns much as work on tho stato capltol ns a recompense for his sixteen yeutf. of enforced idleness. Theso aro a few. California caies, but California is not njono when it comes to making such grave mistakes. " la the summer of 1892 a Jury at Wal fr ik-en, Ark., found Abnor Ray guilty of ithe murder of John Potts. Tho con demned man rose to his feet to protest his innocence. His jbiibs trcmoicd, his rface''fluslied arid 'ho'fs'.l forward dead ' of heart disease. A moment later John ' l"otU" entered the court room, in 1872, Maley of Harrlsvllb?, 'IS'. Va aa sentenced to,llfo imprisonment for it aiurderjng his 'Wife with arsonlc. Twen , ty year afterward it was accidentally , discovered that the poison was given, tm Mrs. Maley by the servant, tnrough Mistake, for medicine, and that, fright- at the result, the permitted Maley ,- i yP"" Jvlus to Lo convicted upon circumstantial evidence. A few years ago John Funelln wns re leased from tho Auburn, N. Y., prison by vlrtuo of n commutation of his llfo sentence. Ho wnB convicted In Utlca In 18SC of murdering Joe Plctrlc, nnd on circumstantial evidence. It was sub sequently developed thai Fimclla'3 brother, Mlchnol, committed the crime. Michael confessed to the murder and escaped to South Africa. .' Samuel B. Wnymnn was convicted In 1890 of tho murder of Emory Thayer at Avon, N. Y In 1SS5. Nelson Schwartz, who Bworo against Wnymnn, confessed on his deathbed In Auburn prison in 1892, to Uic chaplain, that ho alone com mitted the crime and thnt Wnyman had not the slightest knowledgo of It. Wny mnn had, In tho meantime, been sen tenced to dentil, but beforo the dato for his execution nrrlvcd Gov. Hill com muted his sentence, A "Judicial mur der" wns provonted, but still Wnymnn Is In prison. A French governess In n well known family had n rather peculiar experience' last year In Now York city. A diamond ring belonging to a daughter of the liouso disappeared. A search was mndb nnd tho gem was found In tho top drawer of n bureau In tho governess' room. Sho was committed to the Tombs and subsequently convicted. A fow weeks Inter tho mother of tho girl who owned tho ring returned from tho coun try and proved tho governess' Inno cence. She went Into court nnd con fessed thnt sho had been surreptitiously prowling through tho governess' bu reau drawers, and had dropped the ring there without Knowing It. Of course tho governess was released by "the angry Judge," but tho woman had been locked up with criminals for n few weeks, and was subjected to tho Insult of being pho tographed by a person who said he wauled pictures for n lecturo on "Crime nnd Its Penalty." A man named 13111 Anderson swore in Ottumwn, Iowa, in 1883, that he and Christian McAllister near Hlnkesburg, Pleasant Anderson had murdered Iowa, in 1S81. Pleasant Anderson de nied the statement vigorously, but ho wns nrrested nnd lodged in Jail to await trial. In tho meantime tho farm ers thereabout thought McAllister's murder should bo more promptly avenged, no they held a midnight trial of Pleasant Anderson In n neighboring schoolhouse. They nil wore masks. An derson, of course, was found guilty and wns hanged from n tree. About thai time Daniel Miller, tho superintendent of the Sunday school and a prominent worker in the church, was convicted of forgery. Heforo he went to prison ho Informed tho sheriff that ho would like to confess something. For somo reason or anothf i1 tho sheriff would not permit anyone, to sco him. The grand Jury mut PLEASANT ANDERSON, and adjourned without indicting nny of the poisons who had helped to hang Pleasant Anderson. A number of years afterward tho forger and Sunday school superintendent wns stricken down in his cell. On his deathbed ho confessed that ho had murdered Christian McAl lister, nnd that Pleasant Anderson had not even known anything about it. What good did tho confession do Pleas ant Anderron? Ho was dead. In Muy, 1885, John Crew mysteriously disappeared from a llttlo Michigan town. It was supposed that ho had been murdered, nnd suspicion fell upon John Van Niminan, a brother-in-law of tho missing man. Circumstantial evi denco governed tho prosecution of Van Nlraman; he wns convicted and sen tenced to llfo Imprisonment. Ho served ten years In tho Jackson prison, Mloh Igan. Crew was not dead nt nil. In his wanderings about the world ho ono day happened to read in an old paper tint story of his murder by poor John Van Nlmman. Thereupon in April, 189 1, ho sot about to got Van Nlmmnn out of prison. Tho unfortunate man has pre sented n claim to the state for his ten years' services. A young Now York butcher named David Wolfe wns sentenced In 1887 to servo bIx years in Sing Sing prison for forgery. William Gross, who wns in re ality guilty of tho crime, coufessod af ter n few years and wns sent to the 131 inlrn, reformatory. Wolfe'8 friends made n desperato effort to have htm released from his undeserved ngony, nnd retain ed n lawyer. Governor Flower pardoned him, but thnt was all. In 1892 an assistant district nttorncj in Now York city said ho know two men who had served seven yenro In Sing Sing, on sentences of fifteen nnd twenty years respectively, who wero In nocent. Ono of tho men for whom tho prisoners wero "erroneously Identified" confessed tho crime on his deathbed. Tho attorney wanted to know bow to get tho Innocent men out of prison. Tho law made ail provisions to get men into Jail, but nono to get them out. Tho gov ernor came to tho rescue of tho convicts. v Aim, No. Slim (superciliously) "Some men arc all muscle and no brains."
