COLD BLOODRD n1URDER.
A Man Deliberately Shot In His Own

Large.

The long list Of murders that have markcd the
criminal calendar Of Cook county for the past few
months, was yesterday swelled In length and deem
ened In enor1uity BY the addition OF another cold!
blooded homicide. It would almost seem that
regard for human life hns ceased to be q part OF
mans nature, and murder and raans1aughter were
pet past1mes with no inconsfderable portion OF our
population. The ease with which, for many wears
past this tass Of criminals have escaped tie lust
punishment Of their crimes doubtless haa much TO
do with the alarming increase which haa marked
ders, by the dozen, hare been conlg1itted in our
midst. md In almost every instance The perpetrat-
ors have been caught but not one has been prop-
erly punished for the olense. There are lying n
our jail to-day, thirteen men confined upon charges
Of murder. Against them the proof IS, in the ma
punished. When criminals. are taught that thc
crime Of murder will be followed 6y swim and
proper punishment, We may expect to see q do
