practice of which widows burned them
selves alive on the funeral pyres of
their husbands. The systematic and
approved murder of new born girls was
practically stamped out by the mis
sionary Influence. The. terrible misery
of the Hindu child widow has been al
leviated by missionary efforts in her
behalf, and the civil law now gtves her
the right of remarriage. In a more In
direct - fashion; the missionaries have
done much good by Inspiring reform
among the better educated high caste
Hindus, movements which have resulted
in the abolition of many demoralising
ad degrading religious practices.
Bearing of This on Coming Wars.
The Christian community Increased 30
per cent in numerical strength in the
last census decade, and, despite the fact
that it has few recruits from the higher
classes,, it has assumed importance as
a religion among the native peoples of
India. In the storm which must Inev
itably break over political India, the
influence of the Christian missionary
will be the most potent weapon of Brit
ish defense. The native Christian
knows what his fate would be under an
orientalized government, and he will
fight to keep the cross of St George
high over . him, dreading equally the
crescent of the Moslem or the trident
of the Brahman.
corroborated in every detail Newcomb's
story that they plotted the atrocious
crime between them, and while admit
ting ner relations with tne murderer,
will contend that she had no hand in the
slaying of her husband, relying on the
natural hesitancy of a Juror to find a
woman guilty of murder as an accessory
before the fact, when it is not shown
that ahe actually had a hand In the kill
ing. Newcomb, on the day following the
murder, and constantly since then, has
asserted that the woman fired two shots
into her husband's body as he lay pros
trate on the around. The woman, In her
confession, denies any actual part in the
killing, although she freely admitted
that she had planned the affair with
Newcomb. It is believed that the state
will endeavor to establish by witnesses
who heard the shooting that Newcomb's
story Is the correct one, and thus will
attempt to show the woman guilty both
as principal and as accessory.
An Interesting point in connection with
the case Is that under the old criminal
code, which was in effect at the time of
the murder, and under which Newcomb
and the woman will be tried, hanging Is
the penalty which must be Imposed for
murder In the first degree. The new
code, now In effect, makes life Imprison
