Moreover, he who has not erred has but little to gloat over.
There are two sorts of evidence upon which many judges look askance--that sort of evidence which is circumstantial and that sort which purely is hearsay.

In this connection, and departing for the space of a paragraph or so from the main theme, I am reminded of the incident through which a certain picturesque gentleman of the early days in California acquired a name which he was destined to wear forever after, and under which his memory is still affectionately encysted in the traditions of our great Far West.

I refer to the late Liver-Eating Watkins.

Mr.Watkins entered into active life and passed through a good part of it bearing the unilluminative and commonplace first name of Elmer or Lemuel, or perhaps it was Jasper.

Just which one of these or some other I forgot now, but no matter; at least it was some such.
