WEnronn state tribune, mtdfotw. orehox. Saturday, march 10. mi TRIAL BY A MOST intercstiii"; dial where four prisoners are defending themselves from eharge.s of conspiring to murder Premier David Lloyd ( leorge and Arthur J lenderson inenilier of tin war eounei because of roinpulsorv militarv service. Evidence diseas es that powerful poisons were some similar to those used j I . . i r. .1 o i nose now m use uy ,-yjum .inerii-an ancuans. it is al leged that it was planned to cause the death of the pre mier by a poisoned nail in ms shoe and or the minister by a poisoned dart shot by an air gun. To complete this medieval poison plot, the Mohamme dan attorney defending the accused requested of the court that the defendants should have a trial by ordeal, and that the ladies should walk over hot plow shares to prove their innocence. The reiuc.-t was refused as impossible by the court, such trials having been abolished some centuries ago. Trial by ordeal existed both in 'the ancient medieval world, as well as among primeval people. It still flourishes in portions of the globe, particularly in Asia and Africa. In Borneo lawsuits are still settled bv the plaintiff and de fendant being each furnished and both lighted at once, the one whose candle burns long est being adjudged to have won his canst an extreme v sensible and economical proceedure, and probably as near justice as a law trial would insure. Administration of ordeals has usually been at the hands of religious devotees and fanatics, the intervention of the diety invoked and assumed to take jilace even when the process is in its nature one of symbolic magic. It was the favorite proceedure during the era that Europe was torn by religious wars. A favorite form of ordeal in inerry England of a few centuries ago was the carrying of a three-pound iron weight, heated red hot, nine steps. Another form was to walk barefoot over nine glowing plow shares. To dip the hand in boiling water or oil or melted lead and take out a stone or ring was another ordeal. The Hindu code provides: "lie whom the flame does not burn, whom the water does not east up, or whom no harm befalls, is to be taken as truthful in his oat h," and f he same existed t hroughout Europe. The water ordeal consisted of the accused being thrown into water, which receives him if innocent, but rejects him if guilty. Witches were stripped naked and cross bound, the right thumb to the left toe and the left thumb to the right toe. hi th's state she was cast into a pond or river in which it was: thought impossible for her to sink. Trial by ordeal offers a simplified proceedure that would he very hard on lawyers, lu fact, it wsls the growth of the legal profession that ended ill the abolition of ordeal. Undoubtedly it had its advantages or the wot-ld would not have clung to it so determinedly so many centuries. Perhaps in such eases as this poisoning plot, the San Fran cisco bomb explosion plot and the Everett 1. r. V. trials, where t no enure coercive power oi ine government is ut n- ized by unscrupulous sleuths to manufacture a conviction by perjury and prejudice, the ordeal would conic as near to rendering justice as the modern law court. Certainly the poor man would have as good a chance as the rich, which cannot, be laid at present. BUTTE FALLS Snow, and still nioro snow.
