White men can learn some of the
must Inspiring truths from savages.
Major Charles Wilklns. who has
I teen agent for the X'matillas for the
past nine years, lias made a study of
Indian life and ethics aud has found
under the coarse and vulgar exterior
of the savages, some of the most ex
alted principles of justice. ;
I'neducated and untutored In the
niceties and amenities of civilised 1
laws and moral codes, the Indian yet
possesses fundamental ideas of jus- ,
tice which might well grace the white
man's codes.
t ine thrilling instance of Indian Jus
tice was brought to Major Wilklns'
attention in the Investigation of a
supposed murder on the reservation.
An Indian had been found dead on
the road and Jliack Horn, a well
known Umatilla, was suspected of
having committed the murder. be
cause he was last seen with the dead
man.
Everything pointed to Black Horn,
and what the w hite man calls circum
stantial evidei
tightly Inclosed him
in its telt-taie meshes.
Any white man. upon being Inform
ed of the circumstances, would have
Instantly admitted that he believed
Hlack Horn guilty, although no one
saw- him commit the deed.
Not so in Indian ethics.
An old Indian, perfectly honest and
loving Justice Intensely, when closely
pressed to express an opinion a t0
"I no see. I not know." "But don't
you think Black Horn guilty?" was
asked again.
"I no see." was the stoical reply.
"You saw Black Horn wtth dead
man last; you find dead man; you
know he no kill himself; why you not
-say 'Black Horn surely kill him"?'
was asked him again. Again came
the stoical response:
"Because I no see. I not know."
"Don't you think, may be. Black
Horn kill him?" was the lawyer's
parrying question.
-When I no see. I no think." came
the equally diplomatic reply and the
investigation closed.
Because this old Indian had not
seen the crime committed, no rule
of reason or logic could bring him
to say that he believed what he didn't
know.
With the Indian, every truth must
be based on absolute facts. In his
code of ethics, no such an Indefinable
quality of truth as "circumstantial
evidence" finds any place.
It is a crude, yet startling principle
of justice, which would be especially
applicable to the while man's code.
"Because I no see, I do not know."
Very few guilty men would escape
under it and no innocent man would
ever again be sacrificed to "circum
stantial evidence." j
