murderers were to be punished save those caught red-handed, or testified against by eye-witnesses of the crime, a great many undesirable characters would be turned loose upon Society, and the number of such crimes-about two hundred a year in the United Kingdom-would inevitably increase. It is not "circumstantial evidence" that needs to be shyod at, bat.the paucity of it. One or two suspicious circumstances are not WINE AND SPICAT MERCHANTS enough for a verdict of guilty, and jurors and the public do right to hesitate. When there is a whole chain of such suspicious or ineri. minating circumstances, however, all dove tailing, neatly, it is more weakness to shirk the stern necessities of the case by a dislike for the mewhat misunderstood term "cir- cumstantial evidence." In the great majority of cases, no other evidence is possible. Murderers do not usually go to work in the presence of witnesses. Suppose a man were kuown to have spent the day with another,- and that other were found a bleeding corpse, 13.30 with the man washing bis hands and con- cealing akuif a few yards away, and that be made an attempt to run away when interrogated.
