WHAT CONSTITUTES MunpER.-Thc cases of
Lally and other homicides who have recently
been tried In Brooklyn and this city are calcu-
lated to lead to an inquiry whether there is any
use in preserving the word murder" any longer
in the statute book and in the dictionary. The
case Of Lally was one Of peculiar aggravation.
Witnesses swore to the principal facts, and It
seems beyond all reasonable doubt that he and
others (of whom he seems TO have been the
ringleader) attacked and put TO death, In q
brutal manner, quiet inoIensive man who had
done him no injury, and whose only offence was
that he had gently reproved LalIy for the use Of
bad language. On this statement of facts the
jury found him guilty OF granddaughter In the
second degrce."
IT is true that some allowance may be made
for the jury, inasmuch as the prosecution had
with singular indscretion deprived their case of
the benefit Of the evidence of an important wit
ness by indicting him as a principal or acces.
sorry. But even without this, the case was clear
enough, as the Judges charge abundantly
proved.
1t lie not charged that there were any persons
on the jury who got there by the peculiar pro.
css which so frequently enables culprits in this
city to defeat the ends of justice. But as the
trick has been so often and so successfully
tried here, perhapsit would be worth the while
Of some Of the members Of the Vigilance Com
mittec which was lately organized in Brooklyn
to see to the repression of murderous outrages,
to make some inquiry into the composition of
the panel and into the antecedcnts Of the
jurors Were there any jurors sitting in that
case who were agreed to aequit Lally In the
teeth OF any evidence, and whose scquiescence
in the verdict was only obtained by the consent
of the others TO render verdict absurdly dis
proportionate to the crimo7
The only thing which now remains to be done
to complete the measure Of impunity for crime
Is for some tender hearted Governor to pardon
Lally. Mr.. King will zee the consistency Of
acting without delay.
