Several hundred citizens who were examined in Judge Murphy's Court as to their qualification to try Theodore Durant, stated that they would con vict a person on circumstantial evi dence. The repugnance for circum stantial evidence has occasioned con siderable discussion throughout the State. Judges and lawyers are of the opinion that good circumstantial evi dence is the best in the world, for I "circumstances do not lie." The judges and lawyers may be right, but if the pardon books of the penitentia ries from Sing Sing to San Quentin were spread before the Chronicle rend ers, doubts would arise in their minds as to the efficiency of any kind of evi dence. Every little while brief paragraphs in the newspapers announce the par doning of some unfortunate from State prison, it having been discovered that he was entirely innocent of the crime for which he was convicted. The books at San Quentin reveal a number of such cases, and yet the law not only grants no recompense to its living vic tims, but finds more. Here are a few sample cases: George Nelson, a fresco painter, had the pleasure of spending two years in San Quentin, because his voice sound ed like that of a robber named Dorsey, alias Thorn. He was charged with robbery, and attempted to prove an alibi by a Swede and his wife, at whose place he secured his supper. Through fear o. being implicated in the crime the Swede and his wife denied that they had ever set eyes on Nelson. Upon circumstantial evidence a Sacra mento jury convicted him and he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Two years afterwards two men, Shinn and Dorsey, were arrested in the cast and brought back to the coast. It had been discovered that they, in stead of Nelson, committed the rob bery. Dorsey made a confession when confronted with proofs of his guilt. He is now in San Quentin. Nelson demanded damages for his sufferings and injured innocence soon after his pardon in 1891. A liberal Legislature allowed him $7,000, but the State never paid him the money. The best he secured was a little work on the State cap?tol. Charles Dental, an old Frenchman, was convicted of murder in the second degree in Placer county and started to serve a life sestence on May 25, 1859. He was convicted on circumstantial evidence and on July 10, 1885, he was released from San Quentin, it having been discovered that he was innocent, and was convicted because he was poor and friendless and unable to speak the English language. Den tal never even received as much as work on the State cap?tol as a recom pense for his sixteen years of enforced idleness. On August 5, 1874, Bartolo Sepul veda was convicted of murder in Ala meda county and sont to San Quentin for life. On January 22, 1885, the board of prison directors declared him innocent of the crime, and it appears on the board's records that Sepulveda would never have been convicted if the evidence of N. R. Harris-had been given at the trial. Marion F. Smith was not only a vic tim of circumstantial evidence, but the testimony of a perjurer. He was sent from San Bernardino to San Quentin to serve a twelve-year sen tence for attempted arson. That was on May 20. 1879. He languished in prison until April 22, 1886, and then it was ascertained that he was inno cent and that the principal witness against him perjured himself in order to secure a reward for his arrest and conviction. W. F. Harmon, a young inventor of this city, spent four years across the bay as a penalty for the forgery of Louis L. Trowbridge, an all-around crook. When Trowbridge was in St. Louis, in 1893, he was informed that Harmon was serving time for his crime. He worried over the matter so that one day he walked into the office of the St. Louis Chief of Police and gave himself up. This did Harmon little good, for his term had expired a month previous. The sad part of the story is, that after the prison doors closed on the young man his wife and child were left entirely destitute. The woman, in her dire distress, appealed to the man who had prosecuted her husband for food and he responded generously. Finally she disappeared and tbr ex convict is still hunting for his wife and child with a heavy heart. This transgression, therefore, resulted in sending one man to jail, in breaking the heart of a good wife and utterly destroying a family. These are a few California cases, but California is not alone when it comes to making such grave mistakes. In the summer of 1892 a jury at Waldron, Ark., found Abner Ray guilty of the murder of John Pott3. The condemned man rose to his feet to protest his innocence. His limbs trembled, his face flushed, and he fell forward dead of heart disease. A mo ment later John Potts entered the court-room. In 1872 Maley, of Harrisville, W. Va., was sentenced to life imprison ment for murdering his wife with arsenic. Twenty years afterward it was accidentally discovered that the poison was given to Mrs. Maley by the servant through mistake for medicine, and that frightened at the result ehe permitted Maley to be convicted upon circumstantial evidence. Edward H. Post, of Nordoff, N. J., was sentenced October 15, 1893, to fifteen years in State prison for an outrageous assault on Mamie Murphy in the outskirts of Paterson. After fourteen months' confinement he was freed, it being proved to the satisfac tion of the Court that he was not in or about Paterson at the time of the assault. Of course Mr. Post was glad to get out of jail, but should he not be recompensed for the sufferings he endured and the time he lost ? A few years a^o John Funella was released from the Auburn, N. Y., prison, by virtue of a commutation of his life sentence. He was convicted in Utica in 1880 of murdering Joe Pietrie," and on circumstantial evi dence. It was subsequently develop ed that Funella's brother, Michael, committed the .crime. Michael con fessed to the murder and escaped to South Africa. Samuel E. Wayuian was convicted in 1890 of the murder of Emory Thayor at Avon, N. Y., in 1885. Nelson Schwartz, who swore against Wayraau, confessed on his death-bed in Auburn prison in 1892 to the chap lain that he alone committed the crime aud that Waymau had not the slight est knowledge of it. Way man had, in the meantime, been sentenced to death, but before the date for his execution arrived Governor Hill com muted his sentence. A "judicial murder" was prevented, but still Wayman is in prison. A French governess in a well known family had a rather unpleasant expe rience last year. A diamoud ring be- : longing to a daughter of the house 1 disappeared. A search was made, and the gem was found in the top drawer ; ;f a burs2u m f.!i2 fioversess 10022. She was committed to the Tombs, and subsequently convicted. Afew weeks later tbe mother of the girl who owned the ring returned from the country and proved the e?? innocent. She went into Court and confessed that she had been surrcptitously prowling through the governess' bu reau drawers and had dropped the ring there without knowing it. Of course the governess was releas ed by "the angry judge," but the wo man had been locked up with crimi nals for a few weeks and was subjected to the insult of being photographed by a person who said he wanted pic tures for a lecture on "Crime and Its Penalty." A man named Bill Anderson swore, in Ottumwa, la., in 18S3, that he and Pleasant Anderson had murdered Christian McAllister near Blakes burgj la., in 1881. Pleasant Ander son denied the statement vigorously, but he was arrested and lodged in jail to await trial. In the meantime the farmers thereabout thought McAllis ter's murder should be more promptly avenged, so they held a midnight trial of Pleasant Anderson in a neighbor ing schoolhouse. They all wore masks. Anderson, of course, was found guilty and was hanged from a tree. About that time Daniel Miller, the Superin tendent of the Sunday School and a prominent worker in the Church, was convicted of forgery. Before he went to prison he informed the Sheriff-that he would like to confess something. For some reason or another the Sheriff would noi; permit any one to see him. The Grand Jury met and adjourned without indicting any of the persons who helped to hang Pleasant Ander son. A number of years afterwards the forge:: and Sunday School Super intendent, was stricken down in bis c?ll. On his death-bed he confessed t-iat he had murdered Christian Mc Allister, and that Pleasant Anderson bad not even known anything about it. What good did the confession do Pleasant Anderson ? He was dead. In May, 1885, John Crew mysteri ously disappeared from a little Michi gan tow;a. It was supposed that he bad been murdered, and suspicion fell upon John Van Nimman, a brother in-law of the missing man. Circum stantial evidence governed the prose cution of Van Nimman and he was convicted, and sentenced to life im prisonment. He served ten years in the Jackson prison, Michigan. Crow was not dead at all. In his Walder ings about the world he one day hap pened to read in an old paper the story of his murder by John Van Nimman. Thereupon, in April, 1894, he set about to get Aran Nimman out of prison. The unfortunate man has presented a claim to the State for his ten years' service?. A young New York butcher named David Wolf was sentenced in 1887 to serve six years in Sing Sing prison for forgery. William Gross, who was in reality guilty of the crime, confessed after a few years and was sent to the Elmira reformatory. Wolf's friends made a desperate effort to have him released from his undeserved agony and retained a law yer. Governor Flower pardoned him, but that was all. In 1892 an assistant district attorney in New York city said that he knew two men who had served seven years in Sing Sing on sentences of fifteen and twenty years respectively who were innecent. One of tbc men for whom the prisoners were "erroneously identified," con fessed the crime on his death-bed. The attorney wanted to know how.to get the innocent men out of prison. The law made all provisions to get men into jail, but none to get them out. The Governor came to the res cue of the convicts. Annie Waters was charged by Cle ment Schwartz, of Linden, N. J., with having stolen $600 of his money on February 3, 1893. Mrs. Walters pro tested that she had never laid eyes on Schwart2i, and that instead of benig in Linden at the time of the burglary she was in Bound Brook. Her pro testations of innocence availed her nothing, for she was convicted and sentenced to several years' imprison ment. Afterwards it was found that her story was true and she was releas ed. All of these cases have never figur ed in the legal books. Most of them are recert, and there are hundreds of others of which no mention has ever been made. Some of the famous cases in the books on this subject are Ham ilton and Saunders in Missouri, Bourns in Vermont, Tames Baxwell in Gibraltar, Martin Guerre in France, Morris a od Hilderbrand in Pontiac, 111., Sorin Ovist in Denmark, and Wickliffe and Blake in Albany. They are thrilling and blood-curdling and a study of them goes far to make men doubt the wisdom of accepting any kind of evidence. ? "Arid why," the teacher con tinued, "should wc hold the aged in respect ?" "'Cause it's mostly the old men that has all the money," Tommy answered, and the teacher wasn't able to offer any tetter reasons. Bucblens Arnica Salve.

Governor-elect Ellerbe was the recipi ent of many callers at his rooms at the Hotel Jerome yesterday. Many went to pay their respects, while others called to talk over the nituation as it affected them or their friends. Among theee caliere were many Charleston politicians. The ordinary citizen cannot understand the politica of Charleston. There seems to be factions and factions without end, and all mixed up with each other. There is nothing like it in any other part of the State, so it would be tedious to go into explanations or elucidations of the situa tion. Cbtirleston was not peculiar except as to her polities. There were politicians from everywhere else pulling their little strings. The Heister representativo called on the new Governor and found him in the happiest mood, just having dined. He talked very interestingly on men and matters, but did not care to be quoted. He, however, reiterated what he had said on the stump, that he would be the Gov ernor of the people and expressed the hope that all would back him up and make his administration successful. There is no doubt that Governor JEllerbe'e wish in this respect will be gratified, lor all factions look to him as the man who can do more than any other in healing political differences among our citizens. Governor Ellerbe will probably go home to day and will not return until his inauguration in January. His wife ac companied him on this visit to the Fair, and when she returns here as a resident she will bo welcomed by Columbians.?

Lady Rider at the Horse Show, New York, Nov. 11.?The aristocratic horae show provided a mild sensation to those in attendance to-night. A music hall artist, now performing in this city, had entered a white stallion, and the entry list being open to all her entry was received. To-night the lady appeared ready to mount and ride in the ring, when it was discovered that the horse was equipped with a man's saddle. Fur ther investigation showed that the lady was picturesquely attired in a long drab paddock coat, which only partially dis guised a pair of top boots surmounted by pink fleshings. This proved a little too strong for the management, and she was notiiied that she could not appear in the ring in that attire. She expostulated, but the oflioials were obdurate, and a fine advertising scheme was nipped in the bud.
