WAS HE THE SMITH?
WAS HE THE SMITH? GENTLEMAN RIDER'S ACTION Not all as Bad as You Say." EXTRAORDINARY COURT SCENE Public Cheer the Judge ROBERT SIEVIER'S DEFENCE "THE BOOK Oz A WEAK-MINDED WOMAN." The further hearing of the case of Smith v. Sievier and the "Winning Post" ivisumed to-day by Mr. Justice Ridley and a special jury in the King's Bench Division. Mr. Robert Charles Smith, of Bedford, a gentleman rider, sued the proprietor .;¡ nd publishers of the Winning Post" a.nd Mr R. S. Sievier, the editor, for damages for an alleged libel appearing in tha-t paper on April 3. 1909, connecting the plaintiff r name with an Austro-German actress named Selina. Odilon in a way which, the plaintiff --aid, suggested thst he YM.s a man of loose mor.,il character. The defendant said the article in question did not refer to the plaintiff. Mr. Hugh Fraoer appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. E. Smith, K.C., for the paper, Mr. Rose Innes for the printers, and Mr. Sievier on his own behalf. Mr. Percy Tipler said he -was a qualified rider in England and a gentl-emam. rider in Germany, where he knew the plaintiff in 1388 and 1889. They could count the gentle- men riders in Germany on their flngere. In 1888 and 1889 there waa no other gentleman rider but the plaintiff riding in Germany Witness believed be rode for Odhlschlaeger, but was not quite sure. He had read the article complained of in the "Winning Pœt," and he had no doubt that it referred to Mr. Bob Smith, the plaintiff. Croea-exajnined: He knew of a gentleman rider called Eyre, but he did not know if he had a fall in Berlin. He did not know Eyre was a friend of the Oohlsohlaegere, nor did he know that Helena Odilon was living under the protection of Herr Oehlschlaeger. He admitted that the only reason he had for thinking the article re- ferred to the plaintiff was that be was a gentleman rider, and that bis name was Smith. "All Young Once Would you have difficulty in believing that plaintiff woul 1 get involved in an immoral intrigue with an actress?—Well, we were all younger once-Ilouet laughter)- but I believe plaintiff is a man of good moral character. -Arthur Hall, of Epwm, said he was a re- tired trainer and jockey. He had riÖden a great many raceS, and had won eight races for his late Majesty King Edward II1 one of which was the Grand Sefton Handicap. He knew the plaintiff in Germany in 1888 and 1889, and here was no other gentleman rider named Smith there at that time. Mr. Fra?sr: To whom did you think this article referred ?—I can't tell. (Laubter.) His Jordship: Did you think Smith was a fictitious character?—Yes, my lord. Arthur Kightingall, also a trainer and jockey, said he knew the plaintiff well be- tween 1830 and 1890 asa, gentleman rider of repute. He thought the article in Question could only refer to one man-the plaintiff. Thomas Costerton, clerk to Mr. R. W. Fry, the .veil-kuowii bookmaker, said he knew the pla,intiff as a gentleman rider in the eighties. He did not know of any gentleman rider at that t'ime but the plaintiff. He had rewd the article complained of, and certainly thought L referred to R. C. Smith, the plaintiff. The trtiicle wis generally talked of in the Albert Racing Club in April, 1909, and the people who talked of it did not seem to have much doubt as to whom it referred Mr. Stanley Welsh, a straw merchant, said he knew of the? plaintiff as a gentlema.n rider. He had read the article in question, a.na he could not think it referred to anyone but tie plaintiff. Bob Smith. Cross-examined He did not know of plain- tiff riding in Geo-majiy in 1888 or 1889, and knew nothing of the scandal with Madame Odilon. iir. Sievier proceeded to cross-examine the witness as to a. daJ" the plaintiff made wit a Ochischlaeger. when his lordship said it had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Sievier: If you will permit me, my Icrd-- His Lordship: I won't. Please do not go cn. This closed the evidence for the plaintiff. The Nama of Smith Mr Rose-Innes then addressed the jury in opening the case for the defendants. He atkea the jury w come to the conclusion that damages would not be justified in a case like this, where the nilme of Smith (of whom there were 1,500 in the London Direc- tory alone; was adopted to hide the identity of a man who was perfectly well known. Mr. Chas. Yoight said he lived mostly in Paris, and wrote articles for the "Winning Post" under the nom de plume of "Rouge et N'oir" and "Rotiget." He wrote the article in question, but a, portion of it was a translation from the German work which gave the name of Smith. 'The only alteration he ma,Ue in the translation waa putting Mon- day instead of Sunday, as he knew there was no racing on Sunday at Hoffegar. He had heard of Eyre, who was the person meant by the smith in the article. At the time he had ne\er heard of the plaintiff. The Book of a Weak-minded Woman." Cross-examined: He supposed that article was the principle ieature in the paper in that issue. lie did not mean this to be a. true story of anyone in particular. He simply made a free translation of the book. lie had seen Madame Odilon in Germany. He took it for granted, when he translated it, that the lady knew wiiat she was talking about, though she called the volume" The booK of a weak-minded woman." Mr. Fraser: Did you not think th £ t was a thing you should not publish to the world at large?—I thought it was interesting enough to my readers. (Laughter.) Tiie only reason you translated it wiae because it referred to a well-known rider ajid an artreso?—Yes, and because it referred to raoiug. His Lordship: But the article referred to a man's action with his friend's Yes, I thought it would be most interesting. (Laughter.) His Lordship: Don't you think this is a libel on the plaintiff? Mr. Rose Innes: Surely, my lord, that is a question for the jury. Hie Lordship: Well, 1 will put it this way— Don't you think it holds plaintiff up to ridioule and contempt?—No. Don't you think it is immora.1 conduct?— Not moral, but not intraoral. Everybody has had adventures of that eortr-(lau.ghter)- especially gentlemen riders. Public Cheer the Judge His Lordship: I am sorry to hear you gay such things in a court. I do not believe the whole of man kind is &o bad as you say. ("Hear, hear," and applause in court.) His Lordship added: We won't have ail to be put in the same category. We won't stand it, and I hope no one is going to deffend the oonduot of these people. Mr. Rose Innes asked where the novels of Zola would be without the spicy portions? Him Lordship said there were plenty of good novels without Zola's. (Laughter.) Evidence having been called as to the translation, Mr. Rose Innes and Mr. R. S. Sievier addressed the jury, the latter Laying stress on the faot that he knew the person referred to, and that the name Smith was only adopted to ccyver that person's identity, and did not refer in any way to the plaintiff. Mr F. K Smith, K-C.. addressing the jury, said he thought the evidence established the fact that every single identification mark which was given throughout the article w jald have satisfied any reasonable man that it wae not intended to apply to the plaintiff. If this action was to sueoeed one need only '0 be born with the name of Smith to be born with the biggest eilTer spoon in I one's month that ocruid be imagined, for any I Mr. Smith had only to look up the news- paper and collect inimical references to Smith and then bring1 actions for damages. (Laughter.) VERDICT The ju.ry returned a verdict f<yr plaintiff with &W damages. YESTERDAY S PROCEEDINGS Mr. Hagh Fraser in opening the caee aaid the alleged libel imputed to plitintiffi conduct of the most disgraceful descrip- tion. The plaintiff was a gentleman of some fifty years of age, and had always been connected with Bedfordshire. He held a commission in the Volunteers, and had always been devoted to sport of all kinds, particularly racing. He had been for eleven or twelve yeai- one of the best-known gentle- lilaii riders. and had ridden in various parts oJ the Continent, aa well as in Germany. "Continental Chit-Ohat. The libel complained of appeared under the head of "Continental Chit-chat," and bore the sub-headings of Etccapados and Confessions of an Actress," "Memoirs of lielena Odiion," | and "German Owner a.nd Kngiish Gentleman Rider." The article proceeded —"Some proof- sheets of an lutereiÜng German vomme nas been sent us, entitled, The book of a Weak- ) Mmd'ed v?omau,' written by Helena Odilon, one of the best-known Austro-German actresses of her day. She says: The most tragical upset epicod-a of my tile witii litr- Ochlschlaeger was when an English geutle- I man rider named Smith cvauie to ride his horses. On a Monday in the spring of 1888 Smith waa thrown irom his horst. and badly hurt. I went to him to ask how he was, when Dchlschla-eger came into the room, stormed at m-e in jealous ragt, and tlien left me. Smith subsequently called on me in Berlin, and everybody can imagine how those interviews ended. On the day that we exchanged our leelings ci inend- ship for those of love Qchlschlacger came to the house with a costly bracelet, and, say- ing he could not live without me, asked my pardon. Finding I was talking to Smith, be became furious, .searched for a weapou, and, arming himself with a big kitchen knife, searched for Smith, bjit the latter had escaped." The writer further described her reconciliation with Herr Ochlschlaeger, and concluded, "Poor Air. Smith. I wonder if he is still in the land of the living." The plaintiff said these words meant that he was a man of loosa and bad character, was a coward, and had been guilty of bad conduct with his master's mistress, and ought not to be received in decent society. "Story Untrue" It was true that plaintiff ha-d ridden horees for Herr Ochlschlaeger, but the story about Smith being surprised with, the lady waa untrue, as were also the other allegations whioh reflected on plaintiff's character. The only de.fence raieed by the defendant was that the words complained v.ere not a libel on the plaintiff, ae they did not refer to him. Therefore, the only cmtstion the jury would have to try was whether or not this was a libel on the plaintiff. He suggested u ggm + e.(i it was a case in which the plaintiff was entitled to serious damages Mr. R. C. Smith, the plaintiff, said he had owned various racehorses and had ridden in public as a gentleman rider. He was never paid for riding. He went to Germany in 1887, and sold a gcod many raceho-rses to Gel-mans. He was in Hoppegarten in 1888, but did not ride that year, except for exercise and training. He remembered Helena Odilon, the mistress of Ochlochlaeger, and was in the habit of lunching occasionally at Ochl- fichlaeger's house, where the lady lived. He rode in some races in Germany, but was never thrown in a race. Is there a.ny truth in the incidents describing your relations with this lady, and being caught by Ochlschlaeger, and about his hunting you with a Kitchen knife?—No, not one word. Is there any truth in the statement that there were improper relatione between this lady and you ?—No. Mr. Smith said it was conceded that none of these incidents referred to plaintiff. The defence said that these incidents were written of a rider called and, not wish- ing to inconvenience him, she took the commonest English name she could find, viz., Smith. (Laughter.) What the Wife Said Witness further said his friends believed he was meant by the article, and he had suffered much in consequence. Cross- examined by Mr. Smith, witness said when he showed the article to his wife she was extremely wroth. (Laughter.) I suppose you assured her there was not-hing in it?—My wife's words were, "it would not be in the paper if it were not true." (Roars of laughter.) I did not con- vince her. (Laughter.) Witness was then cross-examined by Mr Sievier, who said he appeared on his own behalf as editor of t..bù paper, aud the hear- ing was adjourned.
Barry Bill Hearing I
Barry Bill Hearing I ABSENCE OF THE CHAIRMAN I The House of Commons Committee was to 1 have continued the consideration of the Barry Railway Company's Bill to-day. After a delay of some minutes Mr. Goldman and Mr. Brady, two members of tbe Committee, entered the room and eaid that Mr. Soames, the chairman, was away ill, and would not be able to sit during the day. The other members of the Committee had deoided to sit on if that would meet the wishes of the partioB interested. Mr. Brady added that the Committee did not wish to act in any- thing but accordance with the wiahes of the parties, but were willing to Bit if desired. Mr Freeman, K.C., said that the Bill was a complicated matter, and it was important that all the members of the Committee shouid be, acquainted with the facts. It was abo very expensive for both sides, and it would be desirable to ha-ve no uncertainty to the. decision. Mr. Goldman remarked that the members present would not give their decdsion until they had consulted the Chairman. After a oonisult-ation between counsel and their clients, Mr. Freeman, K.O., for the Barry, suggested that- they should go no further than taking the evidenoe leading to the addressee of ootineei until the Chairman had had run opportunity to read the iiotes of evidence. Mj. Fitzgerald, K C., for the Newport in- terests, expressed the opinion that the pro- ceedings should be pofft-poned until the chair- man returned. Mr. Honoratus Uoyd, K.C., for the Great Western Railway, the Taff Vale Railway, and other companies, thought the opposition would be predudiced by going on in the chairman s absence. After some discussion between the Com- ¡ mittee, it was decided to go on with the evidence and postpone the addresses by II counsel until the chairman's return. Mr. Tilley, of Cardiff, was then re-called, and hie cross-examination continued. (.Proceeding )

BRUISED LIKE JEFFRIES_____I
BRUISED LIKE JEFFRIES I was excited over the great fight," pleaded John Richardson (29) when charged by Pobce-ooastable Oswald Craddook at Cardiff Police-court to-day with being dis- orderly and using bad language in Bute- street. The face of the prisoner was badly bruised, and Mr. F. J. Veall (chairman) observing this, remarked, "You seem to be more in the position of Jeffries than Johnson, eo y&a can go now." CLaogkteog
AFTER THE FIGHTI
AFTER THE FIGHTI RACIAL RIOTING IN AMERICA. I Heavy Casualty List I After the dubanch of Reno the head-ache and the shame. The New York correspondent of the "Daily Telegraps" Bays that an un- mistakable reaction of feeling has taken place throughout the United States. The frenzied excitement about the big fight has been succeeded by a sense of deep disgust It was the same in England after the great fight between Sayera and Heenan—a much more heroic affair than that of Jeffries v. Johnson. In America this has been intensified by the disgraceful scenes which occurred in 6oores of towns and cities as soon as the result of the fight was known. "The mob spirits" ilay" the correspondent, "seemed to rise when- ever a negro cheered for Johnson," and he adds that he witnessed scenes in the negra section of New York which made him blush for the civilisation of the Angio-Saxon race. In a word, the whites who had made an idol of Jeffries took his defeat very badly, and with racial passions and prejudices at fever-heat seized such opportunities as offered of falling on the exultant blacks, a number of whom ai-e reported to have been killed. Many American newspapers are now de- manding prohibitive legislation, and those whicn take no moral line say that the fight was "hardly worth the time, money, and trouble that it cost." Jeffries accepts the verdict as final, and admits that the best man won. I'a no good as a fighter any Longer," he is reported to have said to his soc ;iuL> as he recovered. But he, iiKe the winner, will be able to piaster his bruises with tho-usand-doiiar notes. Toll ot the Figlit I NilVV YOivjti, Tuesday. I Thirteen persons killed, hundreds dan- gerously woundw, the gaol? of aevera? cities hUed both wiui J?'?roes and w.Li". troops called out in other towns, riot a?d panic in many placca-isuch is the toil up to date cf tne great clxampiontsnip fight at Reno. iao«3t of the trouble has been in the Southern parts 01 [lie country, wneae the negro popiuauon is largest anu most ieared, but few 01 tins large Northern cities ha.ve been altogether free trom aisturoanoos, mostly street ngnts, resulting in auitouianoe calls. Lisuaiiy uietw Ug-iita were provoked by cheerr given last rugiit by bands of negroes for their hero. At Mounds, Illinois, the trouble still con- tinued this moiaing, and a posse was chasing itfo negroes implicated in last uignt's riots, ¡ uueateuiug to lynon t<hem if tney were oalL6J.lt. ihe disturbances there were started by lour negroes riding through the town in a buggy duicharging piatols and intimidating every wnite man tney met. Finally a negro cone t able, named Jeff Davis, and his deputy atteiupLed to arrest these reckieco joy-riders. One ot the quartette ahot Davis in the head, killing him instantly. His deputy returned the fire, killing one of the men. Anotiier was seized and ioaged in gaol, but the remaining two whipped up their Horse and esca-ped Three negroes met their death at liivaldia. Georgia, in a clash between whites and blacks at a conscruction camp. Tne nTo work- men, who had been iiisolent, to the whites for several days, yesterday began drinking, and beca,me so boisterous that a white posse was organised to clear out the camp. As the poese approached it was fired on from the camp. The fire waa returned, and when the negroes fled they left behind three dead and five badly wounded. The negroes are still being hunted to-day by the vengeful whites. At another place two factions among tne negoes thcmselves engaged in a fight about Johnson's merits, with the result that onE was killed and three were shot. A white last night cut the throat of a negro at Houston, Texas, in a street car, the victim succumbing to his injuries. Altogether twenty-five cities report serious disturbances, in many of which the lynching of blacks was only prevented by the prompt arriva-l of the polic-e. At Norfolk, Virginia, more than 300 marines of the United States Navy, who had been. watching the bulletins of the fight, marched through the streets hunting negroes. They beat one almost to death. The police were powerlees, and appealed to the Navy Yard for assistance, after which a detachment of marines and bluejackets got the situation under control. An enlisted man of the United States Marine Corpis had his throat cut in the streets of Washington in a similar disturb- ance. and wat taken to hospital, where he lies in a serious condition. There Were several minor encounters at Chicago, in one of whioh a negreas was slashed with a knife. Wilmington (Delaware) reports twelve people injured, Roanoke (Virginia) six, Pueblo (Colorado) 27. tnd Leg Angeles eight. Extra police reserves were kept on duty aJl night at New Orleans Atlanta, and 81t,. Louis. The authorities are considering the advisa- bility of stopping cinematograph displays, fearing that they will provoke further dis- turba,aces.-Press Association Foreign Special. Further Outbreaks Feared NEW YORK, Tuesday. Johnson's victory at Reno has brought about a very ugly situation, and racial troubles are spreading, the arrogant attitude of the negroes adding very considerably to the danger. In New York there has been a marked improvement, but it is feared there will be further outbreaks to-iiight.-Central News. A Hot Time in the Old Town" NEW YORK, Tuesday. A more pleasant sequel to the fight is described in a tolecrrain from Chicago, where the black champion's mother lives. When the defeat of Jeffries was announced the coloured friends of Mrs. Johnson, wa-it- ins ia the streets for the news, hoisted her on their shoulders and carried her in triumph to bar horu"e Thousands of negroes assembled outside the house and clamoured for a j speech. Mrs. Johnson finally came out on a balcony on the second storey and spoke to the excited crowd She told them that never I had North or South turned out such a mail, and excitedly waved before them her son's photograph. She concluded by singing There'll be a hot time in the old town to- night." And there was,-Central News.
.Bluff and Braggadocio
Bluff and Braggadocio JEFFRIES DESERVEDLY PUNISHED? I There is universal indignation with those who declared that Jeffries was fit to meet Johnson (wires the Reno correspondent of the "Daily Mail "k Evidently, so-called "expert" opinion is worthless. Everyone is now bitterly resentful of the bluff a.nd bragga- docio of Jeffries and his trainers. It is felt that his foolish boasting was deserved-ly punished. The moat charitable view of Jeffries ifi that lie is to be pitied for allowing himself to be made a fool of by his friends and partners. His "caveman" taotics were utterly useless against the superb skill of the negro cham- pion. With dogrged pluck and ohstinaoy Jeffries strove in vain to beafl^lown the blaok ma.n's matchless defence. He reminded me of the hopeless rushes of a bull in the arena against the cool dexterity of the matadors.. Johnson's victory was far from popular. The disappointment of the crowd was eilent, but deep. There was absolute stillnesa when it was seen that Jeffries was reeling and a,bout to receive the finishing blow. They could scivroely believe the pitiable and bat- tered object reeling by the ropes was the man who had never been knocked to his knees before. There was very little cheering for the winner, even when his wife pushed her way to his side to congratulate him. Most people thought pityingly of Mrs. Jeffries who said in the morning, I don't believe anyone living oould beat my big buisband"- hearing in her quiet room in the town a voice at the telephone telling of his igno- minious defeat. Primitive instincts are still etuong enough to make a fight to a finish a meet popular amusement for the masses. Nothing else could attract eighteen thousand spectators, paying £ 72,COO for seatai-not the greatest singer, mtusician, actor, or orator in the world. But high prices will not be paid and long distances will not be travelled to see negroes thrash white men, especially in a country where the black difficulty growenbore acute every year. Disgusted With Fight German interest in the boxing matfch in Nevada has been very small, but much dis- gust is expressed at its outcome and the subsequent excesses. The "Lo"l Anaeiger" says that the reports of the progress of the fight and its results make one blush for shame and indignation—shame that such a fight should prove an attraction to the masses at all; indignation that the whites in America should respond to the negro's honourable victory with criminal violence. Scenes to Make One Blush i Nepoœ were chased through the streets in the South and Forth, and rav*N*m ww* fired and kmdvw ?etded. In New YM? shortly befaremidnht" I witnessed soenes in the negro section, which made one • Mash for the alleged civilisation of the Anglo- Saixxm race (writes a "Daily Telegraph" correspondent). The coloured people were hounded down and assaulted by low-olase whites stumply because they shouted for Johnson. "Let this be the last contest in America," iG the sentence which, I beJiesve, interprets the mind of the American people to-day, and the eequel will follow Tery shortly, when the Nevodan Legislature, bowing before the weight of enlightened pabiic opinion, will come into line with the other States, and no longer permit human shambles under the shield of the law. Got His Deserts The negro who was hanged to a lamp-jpoat was Nelson Turner. He wadked up to a crowd of thirty men standing on the corner of Ninth-avernao talking about the fight, all lamenting that Johnson had won, and leered at them. They told him to move on, and he made an insulting gesture. "We blacks have 'st of you he finally got the best of you whites," he s;hou, "and we are g?ai-ng to d-cw) = "than that. The negro is on top now." Then he drew a revolver and pulled the trigger. The weapon missed lire, and befoTe Turner could get a chance to pnll the trigger a second time the crowd was upon him, his revolver was taken awaj-, and was used to beat him over the head. It took but a moment to put a rope round the negro's lie-ek. Pull away there," said the man who fastened the noose, a.nd the other twenty-nine pulled with a will. When Turner had been raised about four feet from the pavement the rope was fastened to the lamp-posit, and it was sug- gested that the work should be finished by shooting Turner, but nobody had a pdstol. Then the police came, and with their staves dispersed, the crow-d Niggers inviting Trouble Individual attacks, usually by whites on fok, olis, were responsible for the assembly of crowds of disorderly people. In the melees whioh followed all sort3 of weapons were used indiscriminately, the nastiest wounds being inflicted with broken bottles and sha.rp- edged razors. In Schenectady, State of New York, n-egroc-6 armed with guns and raaors | went a-boal the stree-ti elbowing white pea-sons from the side-walks and searohing fox trouble. Several fights took plaoe. One negro drew a razor on a crowded street-oar and was beaten almmt into insensibility and kicked from the car. 1500 a Minute! An analysis of the percentage of the puree, the bonus, and the silaxe of the moving pio turre money, when added to the amount earned by ea-ch competitor after the articles of the fight were signed, shows that Jeffries and Johnson netted over i>j0 eax-h for every minute they boxed on Monday night, and to this big revenue one may add the amounts both will reoeive from music-hall tours.

DICKMAN'S -DEFENCE
DICKMAN'S DEFENCE ANALYSED BY THE JUDGE I Intense Interest in Murder Trial To-day RaW the berrinning of the end of the trial of John Alexander Dickman on a charge of murdering John Innes Neebit, cashier, who was brutally ehot in a North Eastern train on March 18. I Overnight counsel for the prosecution and defence had respectively addressed the jury. Mr. Justice Coleridge reserved his summing- up for to-day. A tense excitement pervaded the Moot-hall when the judge took his seat. For the first time in the history of the case the accused man's striking features showed traces of anxiety. No one listened with a tenser interest to the judge's calm, die- passionate sentences than did Dickman.

Outside the deluge of rain prevented the assembling of the huge crowds much better than the police could have done. t However long you may live," began his lordship impressively, you will never have a more anxious and critical task than that which is placed before you to-day," and at once he proceeded to deal with the prisoner's ireans before tlli3 crime and the motive of plunder which the prosecution allege. He commented on the and pawning trans- action of the accused early in the yeair, and remarked that if his desire in borrowing S-20 had been, as he stated, to test the money- lenders' advertisements that deeire would k t??- that (teeire would, ha-ve been satisfied at the ctid of the first three months.

They had to make up their minds whether they thought the prisoner on the lath of Maroh was or was not in a position in which the earn of £0370 was a most valu- able acquisition. His Lordship next contrasted the evidence of the prosecution as to the prisoner having been seen with the deceased at Newcastle Station with the prisoner's own statement (again uncorroborated) that he was not in the company of deceased and that he entered the rear of the train, while the deceased travelled in the first coach. He warned the jury, however. that, though uncorroborated, the prisoner's statement was not necessarily inaccurate. Were the witnesses Raven and Hepple mistaken in thinking they saw the prisoner with a atlghtiy-built man, or had the prisoner a double again? They had to choose between the evidence of these wit- Ue63iS and tlia JiTliaOHex. oeau Man's Fellow-traveller Dealing with the Wi Hall, a young coiiiery clerk, who, while not swearing that prisoner was Nisbet s leilow-traveller in the train, yet selected the prisoner as being very like the man, his Lordship suggested that Hail was a witness ecupuious and careful and conscientious—a m8It appreciating the gravity of his responsibility, and feeling Bure of what he thought, but reluctant to assert conviction.

Tne result of the evidence so far was this: that tiie prisoner had a companion in the train, lie eaid he had none. If he said he had no companion when they knew that he nad, who was that companion?

Counsel said the accused was out of work at the time, suffering from consumption. To the police he made a statement that he had done no work for four months. He said his daughter had had pneumonia. He oould see she was going the same as him," and he thought he would put her out of her trouble. li-e addea: "So I partially strangled her; then I out her throat." He stated that the guardians told him there was no outdoor relief for him-only the workhouse for the Ghaktren and the infirmary for himself. Evi- dence was given that the prisoner's fatheT daed in an asylum recently, his mother being now aji in-to of the sa/nie institution.

Candle Factory SmellI
Candle Factory Smell I PEOPLE HOLD THEIR NOSES Mar. Peroy Bowers Ford, of Pontypo-ol, was summoned at Nenrport to-day, as the owner of a candle factory in Skinner-street, and thereby causing a nuisance to the inhabi- tants. Mr. J. 1L Moseley wae summoned as a person employed at the factory as also causing the nuisance. Mr. Treharne Morgan, from the town-olerk's office, appeared in support of the summons. Mr. Lo^auFraser (instructed by Mr. A. E. Bowcn, Pontypool) defended. A number of witnesses living or carrying on business in the neighbourhood were called, who spoke of the smells as being vei-y bad- in fact, so sickening that persons brought up their breakfasts, ilrs. Bailey, who works at the Model Lodging-house, and Mr. Bramwell, of the Windsor Castle Inn, spoke of this hta-ving been the case with them. Mr. Alfred Prost, corn merchant, of Dock- street, spoke of a number of dates in May when the .smell was particularly nauseating. lie noticed people who pasted along the streets holding their noses and spitting Mr. Lovat-Fraser observed that he was there at 10.30 this morning, and did not find any overpowering nuisance. Mr. C. H. Pitmar. the manager of Beavan's sanitary engineering works, close at hand, aaid if Mr. Fraser had happened to be a quarter of an hour later at the works he wouldn't be alive to get into court. (Laughter.) For the defence, Mr. Ford. one of the dcien- d?nts, said the factory had been established about a hundred years. A few years ago he went to the Continent, and at Kussenach, rea,r Lucerne, in Switzerland, he found the most perfect process for tallow making that he had ever seen, and lie decided to instal similar plant, which cost him a good deal of money, in order to mitigate as much as pos- sible the nuisance of smell. He did not think anything further could be done. Mr. Harold Davies, manager of the Cardiff Candle Factory, spoke of the plant being absolutely modern, though, of course, the buildings being a hundred years old, were not modern. Mr. Mosuiey, the manager, said it Wa6 true that the smell wae by the new process. Con- centrated for about an hour and a half ecwh time the fat was treated in the digester, and it was possible that. the people in the neigh- bourhood thought the sme'l was worse now because it was a different seardl since too new process. They would get used to it. The Magistrates decrided to visit the place in the afternoon before giving judgment.

I AMERICAN WELSHMEN' I
AMERICAN WELSHMEN' A strong contingent of American Welshmen is expected to attend this year's Welsh jSiational Listedd-tod at Colwyn Bay. This is, perhaps, not. surprising when it is remem- bered that there are more Wefeh-speaking Welshmen resident in the United States than there are in the PtrincipaEty itself. Hitherto the time between the announcement of the subject for competition and the holding of the Eisteddfod has been too short to allow Welshmen resident abroad to compete. With the view of re-moving this difficulty, the Archdmid will convey a request to the Gorsedd authorities and the National Eis- teddfod Association at Colwyn Bay this summer that the list of subjects be in future issued two yea,M-in advance. ————————.

A Soddened -Camp
A Soddened Camp ADVERSE CONDITIONS AT BISLEY BI&LEY GAMP, Wednesday. The sudden change in the weather con- ditions was certainly not anticipated by the meteorologist of the camp. The dwellers in tents had been led to expect a oontiiutaasce lof the fine wea-ther for The public eohoods' day, but in tho everting there was torrenlaaJ rain, and this morning stoddeined grass and -tiLr-tM bu-zia-ing did not inspire oorifittence. There hae been much talk about the moideni, of yesterday, which for the time deprived Dr. Sellars, of the Dundalk Rifle Club, of the top place in the Bass amd conferred the prize Oil Captain Godaal, of tiie Oxford and Bucks. This official anxKMroce- ment was afterwards withdrawn, and jtieuoe was dcixo to Dr. Sellars as t;oon as the onroc was discovered. Fader the old regulations and where two or more marksmen at the ciose of a competition held an equal aggra- gate on points, it was the better touU at the longer distance that det-ermined the event; but this year th-e "oentral.s" (or aooree on the "invisible bulls") come into the ooonting. The experts, however, ay that the pro- gramm-e bo-Jk b not so clsiar ae it micht be, a-nd that. in quotin-g "r;perial cases," appli- cable to some unfamiliar "Form G, the oouindl have failed w give the ultumte refer- en<?, a-nd th?t. metaph,)ricaly spea.k. the ?L'4aid "Porm G" M ]œt in 8 fog.

At morning gunfire the Halford Memorial at 1,000 and 1.100 yard., opened. A stiff breeze blew from the ieft and front, and the light was very erratic.

Major Lamb, Army Rifle Asso-oistion,.totiejied 73 at the initial distance, putting, on &11 bulls except his last round. The Halford, a match rifle evemt, fifteen shots at 1,000 and 1,100 yards, waiR won by Mr. Caldwell, of 'the Ulster Rifle Asswriafkm, with an asgrecra-te oif 131 wmt. Thus the third match rifle etelit at long rajige stands bo the credit of Ireland. Firing for the Ashhurton Shield was com- menced under a good light, but with a strong1 head wind.
