The Times is Of course aware that the Ian

it as ours
Mr. Sickes has not been merely ga State SEN

influential member of both the Senate and Assem-
bly, of our State; also of the Federal House In
each of these responsible positions, be had album
dsnt opportunity to introduce bill providing for
the exemplary punishment Of adultery. Did he DO
anything of the sort Did he ever indicate a de-
sire or conviction that adultery should be- punished
a. felony! No one pretends that he did. Then,
We say, be was fairly estopped by his own act, or
neglect TO act, from committing homicide on the
plea that our laws, whether Federal or State, do
not adequately punish adultery; and it was pecu-
lsrly cupable in him, chosen and subsisting law
maker, to break ss undeserying Of obedience, the
laws which be had Deyer attempted 10 mend. Ditto

This is rather nimble dodge, but it does not
serve. Mr.. Sickles has been at one time in po-
sition to urge the amendment Of "New-York
law" at another Of the Criminal Code Of Wash
ington." But il is not any peculiar inadequacy of
the latter that be demurs TO- but Of our laws against

OWL has been cited BY The Times in justifcat on
Of the verdict in Mr.. Seklss's case.
