A witness was called and examined by the prosecution. Ou his cross-examination be was asied if he ad cver been convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison. He answered that he had been convicted of the crime of forgery by the district court of Ara- pahoe county, Colorado, and that he serv part of the term for which he was sentenced, when he was pardoned by the governor of that state. The conviction was also proven by other tastimony to which the prosecution mado no objection, the fact being virtually admitted. On the part of the defense the record of the conviction was offered in e dence, to which objection being made, it was excluded. Held—No error, or, if erroneous,, it was without prejudice, the fact having been already unquestionably established. 3. Impeachment is an attack upon the present credibility of a witness; and an im- peuching witness who testifies that he knows the general reputation of the porson attacked for truth aud veracity, will not be excluded from giving testimony as to such reputation at the time of the trial and permitted only to testify to the teputation of the witness at a prior time., The truo question is: What is his reputation on at the time he testifies? 4. The indictment charged the murder to have been committed with a ‘“bludgeon.” The testimony left it in doubt as to whcther death was produced by a blow with a bolt or club. The court instructed the jury that if death was produced with a blow with o bludgeon, bolt or club, it would be suflicient » manner of producing death. Such instruction was held correct. In criminal prosecutions the ju satisfied of defendant’s gui sonable doubt from the evidence, not go outside of the instruction that the evidence only the sworn testimony of the witnesse who have testified, but all” the circumstan surrounding the tragedy” was erroueous. 6. While it is doubtless advisable, aud per- haps better to use the statutory lunguage descriptive of a crime in an_instruction, yet, where words used which convey the same weaning and import, and which cannot be misconstrued by the jury, the instruction may not thereby be rendered erroneous. 7. It is the duty of a trial court to submit to the jury by way of proper instructions such principles of law as may be applicable to the case on trial, as it appears from the evidence; and also such principles as may be applied to witnesses who are interested in the result, or whose testimony should be weighed with special care and caution, as accomplices; but it is not proper to dis the policy of using such witness should be'left to counsel in argument. 8. The jury alone are the judges of the weight of te Ther nstruc- tion on that of cter i entitled to great weight where the evidenc is weak or doubtful, but is entitled to ver: little weight when fhe proof is strong” was held to be erroneous. 9. Instructions examined found to be erroneous. 10. In the absence of evidence to _the con- trary, the law presumes every one innocent. And this legal presumption of iunocence is a matter of evidence to the benefit of which the purty accused is_entitled. Garrison vs The People, 6 Neb, 275, A CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.

A Review of Different Teams in the New League. PREDICTING PENANT WINNERS. Batting Averages of the New Omaha Team—A Very Strong Showing— Gossip About Various Sporting KEvents. Base Ball Talk. It is a trifle premature to predict who will be the pennant winners of the new western as- sociation, considering the many comparatively unknown quantitics in the different teams. However, a resume of the personnel of the teams will probably prove interesting read- ing for the local enthusiasts, and it is here- with given with cursory comments, First, in point of interest, here, at least, comes the Omahas,and without exaggeration Omaha’s claim for first or second place is as reasonable as that of any team in the asso- ciation. The team is not practicallythe championship Oshkosh team of last season us has been so declared, by any means, There is Lovett, {the promising twirler, for whom there was a lively amble this fall by all the leading olubs of the country, but who fortunately fell to Omaha. Next year Lovett will un- doubtedly prove one of the wost formidable oceupants of the box in the whole country, and a tower of strength to the local team. The management to-day could sell Lovett for $14,000 or £,000, but he will not be allowed to 20 At uny | They have al ceived flattering offers for Miller and Annis, and could dispose of one or two others at a pecu- iary advantage, but will be retained, The other m: team are Wilson i © “lynn, Burdigk and pitchers: O'Connell, first; Miller, second; Doran, third: Walsh, short, and Burns, Messitt and Campana_for the field 1f this isn't a strong aggregation it would be pleasing to know where you will find one. With harmonious team work, efficient cap- cy and thorough m ant, the Oma- . will be found in the Kansas Citys, and muany yood judges ratedhem as the strongest tewin n the associagion, To begin with, they have Swartzel, who was the star pitcher of the old Western league, but in no detail does he rank with Lovett. Then they have Jim Manning, who is one of the best fielders in the country ho' did such _excellent service hie past season’s chanipion To) lded the ck with the best o unson, the old league battery, are likewise included in their ranks, and Campau,_and Cartwright, the much sought ufter, New Ovlcans playirs, besidos Joe Ardner, €. L. Reynolds, Jake Wells, Jac A. McCarthy, Ed: F. Knight, George Kopf, Mike Bradls Hussamacr, - Sosmuch for the Cowboys, They will make tpugh opponents. Another team lfiul will make a bid for first honors, St. Paul. Topping the list is the old veteran, Joe Quest, who eight years the finest second baseman in the He has uot forgotten his olden skill, as is amply testitied to by his work of the past season. Rudolph Kemm]: of the old Cinciunatis and St. Louis Browns, is another good man, while Earl is considered by competent judges one of the most superb catchers in the profession. Then there is Shafer, of the Altoonas, Dwyer, Jobn San L. Murphy, John Pickett, Jack Cor- d Jeane, Charlie Riley Tom or K nand V. C.

McCuller, Dan Stearns and Billy Traffoy, back numbers but_yet stauch pla Bug Hulliday, Frank Wells,George w. J. Van Dyko, Harry Sage, and F', C. Smith. Des Moines is apparently espeeially hostile toward Omaha, and if they lose the flag, and beat Omaha'out in the series they'll be happy. Their prospects for any especial telicity on this score, however, are exceedingly small, At Milwaukce Manager Jim Hart has_suc- ceeded in getting a good crowd together, among whom are some old familiar fuces.

The Team's Batting Strength. That Omaha will have a great team next season goes without saying, and while her chances are as good s any for the pennant, she may fall short. Last year's disappoint ment in this regard is still fresh in the minds of all. But there is no comparison u - this year's teamn and the late la at the batting list for in- nell, Flynn, Miller, Burns, Cooney, Walsh, Annis, itt, Wilson and Lovett There will be terror in this team for any in the association.
