Criminological history unfold* some Interesting and curious "escapes" from the gallows. In 8uss?x, Kugland, a man was found guilty of murder by a Jury which did not take five minutes iu which to consider Its ver&tct Twice he stood on the death trap of the gallows, on each occasion the lever failed to release the trap. An Indig nant country called for his reprieve, which was granted. It was aftervwud discovered thkt the gallows, which was made of wood In those days, had swol len by rain that fell heavily on both the nights preceding the dates tlted b'y the sheriff for the execution. ' Rut here is the case of a man who not only was -saved from the gullows, but from hearing his death sentence passed by the judge I A man was charged at the Old Bailey with a pe culiarly atrocious crime. The Jury sent In word from their retiring room that they were unable to agree upon * verdict, and were escorted to the * London coffee, house on Ludgate hill, there to be locked up "without food, flre or light," until they had decided ' upon a unanimous verdict. Eleven out of the dozen were In fav or, of a verdict of "guilty," but the foreman of the Jury, a Mr. James Sim mer, had a rooted objection to capital punishment. He did not believe In the Innocence of the man, but he refused to consent to a verdict which would Ifcnd the man to the gallows. It was Saturday afternoon when the L _4ury was locked up. Ry dawn next day six of the Jurymen, overcome by discomfort and lack of food, were Vllllng to vote "Not guilty." Toward the aftemeon of Sunday the foreman, actuated by feelings of compassion, ad i. dressed his fellowrsufferers-as, follows; "I am willing to make you a sport ing offer and leave the decision a ? to the guilt or Innoncence of the poor wretch In Newgate to chance. Ob serve: I shall balance the poker up right In front of the empty grate. I shall then slowly count 'One! two! three!' You will range yourselves,' half your number on either sUja, two vat da Wffy. At HlfP word "fhf&v we shall' Jump. If the poker .falls to the side of the opposition I shall give In. to your verdict of 'guilty,' but If it comes doWn on my side you will join me In returning n verdict of 'not guil ty.' ? One! two! three!" At the word "three" the twelve men JOijSped fior all they were worth. The poker ffll with a clatter to the side of the foreman ! The warders were summoned, and the jurors were escort ed back to the Old Bailey, re-entered the jury box and gave their verdict. The Judge, who had provided him self with the ominous black cap, ap peared completely paralyzed with astonishment on hearing the announce ment: . Twenty years later a convict at Portland was fatally Injured by the premature explosion of a cartridge. Be i fore he died he confessed to being gull ty of the crime for which the inno cent man was arraigned at the Old Bailey 20 years before, and was only saved in the manner described, by the fall of the poker toward^ the foreman of the Jury. T ? Community Theater. San Jose, Cal., is going to be the first towh in the west to have a com munity educational theater. This pro posed theater I? not merely going to present plays for the benefit of the community, but It Is going to promote acting among the citizens themselves. It will afford an opportunity for every person from the tiniest tot to the old est citizen to gratify the desire to appear in the world of make-believe, according to Miss Mabel L. Dorsey, who started the Idea. ' Miss Dorsey, a graduate of a leading school of music and expression, took ud the question of establishing the school with members of the chamber of commerce of the city and It was enthusiastically received by them. The primary purpose of the theater is not to make actors, but to develop men and women as well as allow residents of the community to display their talents In singing, speaking and dancing. Mother Hubbard's .Dog. Mary's teacher one day asked her to draw a picture of Old Mother Hub bard's house, showing Old Mother Hubbard and her dog. Very quickly Mary drew the rough outlines of what was supposed to be a house, plactltg the crude forta of Old Mother Hub bard beside the door. Then, with a self-satisfied air, she handed her fin ished product to the teacher.. "That Is very good, Mary," commented the teacher, as she looked at the draw ing, "but where is the dog?" "Oh, the dog is in the house," promptly replied Mary. London's Subway System. London's underground railways ' transport 4,000,000 passengers - dally.
