"The prisoners declare, and informa- 7'tion from San Juan tends to sustain .them, that the alleged robbery was a " plot on the part of Spanish Officials to - cover up their delinquency and to ob- tain scapegoats for the Spanish pay- :. master at San Juan, who, it is further asserted, was probably a party to the .~dishonesty in appropriation of the: .‘funds. These seven men, after ineffectual '2. torture for the purpose of obtaining a .. confession, were shipped to Havana in ‘lllarch, 1897. They still show evidences of the tor- ture inflicted upon them.

Lynch, fifteen years old, whose home is at Thirty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, New York, drove a milk wagon for his mother, Ellen Murray, who carries on the business left by her first husband when he died. The son was injured in a collision between his wagon and an electric railroad car on November 3, 1897. His mother, as his guardian ad li-tem, sued for $50,000 damages. A sealed ver- dict in her favor for $10,000 was hand- ed to Judge Dickey. Through the collision the plaintiff was alleged to have been rendered so deaf that he cannot hear what is said to him, even when the words are shouted into his ears. During the trial, while he was in the witness chair, the railroad company’s lawyer repeatedly walked up to his side and loudly asked him questions, to which, however, there was never any re- sponse. ' It was necessary to have the numer‘ ous questions put the plaintiff repro- ducedon a typewriter and then sub- mitted to him for 'his answers. This was a. rather slow process, and it was the first occasion, so far as is known, in which is has been employed in a case at law. Lynch alleged that the trolley car cam-e suddenly upon ‘him and smashed his wagon. He was, he said, pitched out and thrown upon his head. The result was that he became stone deaf. Expects testified that there was no way of determining scientifically whether a person was deaf or not if the person could be smart enough to keep up the deception, if there was any. By their verdict the jury showed that they believed that Lynch was not slilmmm~ing.'—-New York Herald. A REPU"A'I‘ION TO SUSTAIN.
