afford sufficient time for an inquiry into the circumstance's 01
this very peculiar case, lest it may be discovered too late tleiat $
fatal mistake has been made, and innocent life sacrificed, ""

zeal to avenge blood by blood. If the man be guilty the eietial
will not escape by the delay. If he be innocent, that delay may
prevent a second murder.—Herald,
