The Murder Record o1
Cook County.

COOR COunIV.
Yesterday, at three o'clock, Fleming and Corbett
the assa.sins Of Patrick Maloney ceased to live.
Bociety imposed upon them the stern law OF resrt-
button, avenged Epon them their terrible crime and
eent them ID plead for pardon before Him who IS
c1er merclfu1, a. well "a just. TRo guilty, s1n
etalDed SOILS, weighed down BY m1ry hIdeous
crimes hive been plunged INTO the dark river be-
tween lime and etcrnfty-who can judge Of the
pardon OF the doom which has greeted them On
1hat clond yelled distant shore!
II Is idle for men 10 ray that capital pnnlshnent
is only ssfeguard OF eociety against extraordinary
monsters. Death is awarded to great criminals u
an extraordinary punishment for monstrous crime
The coNsrdIy assassin-the hcnd who perpet1ates
murder Of great asroc1ty-men cannot deem ado
quate1y punished By even solitary imprisonment for
1lfe-they demand the stern Justice Of the law, ''n
hte for hfe." This Is not q sentiment
Of batearity, unworthy. 2, 2, cur our enlightened
''Who 90 Eheddeth mans blood, By man shall his
blood be ehcd," is law which, however tender
may be out hcltnalions, and however muck We
;1bilpd ja.tiee,'' can never be eaaccd. Il We Woum
