FOOLED THE JUDGE. A Successful Rus¢ to Save a Gondemned Murderer. "Some years ago I was on the bench in a Nebraska circuit," said Judge A. R. Simmons, of Omaha, to a Wash- ington Star reporter. "A murder was committed under rather peculiar circumstances. A man named Bill Chadwick and a man named "lees Piummer were enemies, n for some time, each hav- ing titeatoned the life of the other. --A---reconctitiation "was effected, and one day the two men went hunt- ing 'together. Piummer returned alone, and said he had bought Chad- wick's horse, and the latter h ne to Kansas, "eC Considerabie suspicion existed, but Chadwick had no relatives, and there Was no way of disproving thestory. Several months later the bones of a man were found where it was known Chadwick and Plummer had been to- gether on the day the former i outs sigmace By means of and a pecuiiarity of the teeth remains were identified as those of Chadwick. Plummer was arrested, sSppaes condemned and sentenced to "Three or four days before the time fixed for the execution a man_ en- tered. my office and saluted me: "*How'dy, judge " 'How are you ?' 'I answered. 'What can I do for you?' "*T reckoned you'd know me,' he said. 'I'm-Bill Chadwick, the feller Tom Plummer was convic killin "I was naturally greatly surprised, and somewhat doubtful as to the truth of his story. But he stuck to it under the most rigid cross-examina- on. "*T don't like Tom none too well,' hi d, 'but I ane him the hoss all right, and I went to Kansas. I didn't hear about the "trial till after it was over, 80 when I did lear it, I thought it would be a shame to let Tom hang, and I came back.' apt took the man to the prosecuting torney, who had known Chadwick siigntigy 'and he identified the man as the one supposed to be murdered. We took the first train to Lincoln, reach- ing there just in time to secure the pardon for Plummer. "Both Plummer and Chadwick dis- appeared as soon as the former was released, and I had ceased to think about the strange affair, when I changed circuits with another judge, and while sitting in the hotel [saw Chadwick pass. I called the land- lord's attention to him, and asked if Chadwick lived there. "* Bill Chadwick ? No, he don't live ? He's dead. That man's Pjummer. does look enough like Chadwick to pass for him. His brother was the man who killed Chadwick, and then pardoned : > way or other, [I don't know how.' And I did not tell him." Interest the Clerks.

RUSSIA'S WOMeh CRIMINALS In Some Parts They F: Far Outnumberthe Men The Semaine Medicale publishes in- teresting statistics about the crimin- ality of women in Russia, showing that in the large industrial centres of Russia there are twice as many wo- men criminals as men.

The principal crimes committed by females are: infanticide, poisoning, oe to murder, adultery, bigamy and (only a small percentage) robbery and theft. Most of the wumen criminals are un- married. The fewest crimes were com- mitted by the country population, most of them by the laboring classes in the cities. Of 100 working people of both sexes in the Russia industrial districts, there are 12. e and 13.75 female criminals, that is, in the total, every fourth person. The crit- ieai age for theft in man is-stated to be between the sixteenth and seyen- teentli years, while female thieves be- win principally between fourteen and lifteen. 'he fewest crimes are com- mit by women of the f eighteen to twenty.
