On last Saturday the three prisoners Daniel F. McCunc
Jackson Coticc and Joseph w. Parsons who Were con-
vctcd, nj the last term of Superior Court of paTtcpa
in the Murder OF Nichols and sentenced the first two
10 Is in the Penitenary and the last FIVE
aud who had been detained in Jail await the decision Of
the General Court upon certain points involved in petition
Tor tria left their prison here, under strong guard
for Richmond, TO enter ON their term 1t punishment.
Turner, who also convicted OF the crime and
sentenced Tor IL years-wns taken immediately
the adjournment of the Court.
As the three passed by office Saturday our at,cn
ton was arrested by the appearance OF young Cotere
beardes YOUTH in appearance, least not more than l6
years of PALE with dark restless eye must we think
have challenged the sympathy of any one and we could
not help dePoring his fate. His participation in the un.
provoked and horrible murder is ccar-but could not
suppose that uninuencod by his older associates he would
nave engaged IN the commission OF revolving crime
lie had been reared on the outskirts of without cd
ucaon without the sauary restraints Of moral religious
discipline, exposed TO vicious example. For such
his, but regret that our Pononary system
Is not what II ought 10 bc-and what its impes-a
place Tor eionnaon where all the strongest motives and
ctcicntads employees reclaim the guilty and establish
them IN the ways OF vrtue that they may be
cio with safety making the term of their confinement de-
pendent ON their progress III reformation.
OF the four engaged in this murdcr-we understand only
could read, and in te settlement which they lived
OF about forty only four read The schoomas
ter has never been among them.
The COST 10 the State of bringing these men 10 punish
is much less than 3000-te witnesses being nu
mcrous and living about 80 miles from the Court House
This would have supported good school among these
people for years. All experience shows that education
intellectual and moral rainng-alons fits men for socie
-to render cheerful obedience the laws. And ex
pcIence has shown too, that II cheaper for the govern
ncni TO educate the pcoplcthun obedience the
laws by the strong OF power. at is better SAYS a
kentucky Farmer "to educate the youth than support
the aged crminal."-hanatrhd RcPHbiiedn.
