MONETARY INSANITY.
The Cole and HIscOtk Ease.

From the Philadelphia inquirer.
Ths jury in the case Cf Cole, tried al
Albany, for the murder of Hiscock, has
capped the climax OF sbsurdity in reIa-
ton TO the doctrines Of irssnity by de-
claripg that Cole was sane the moment
before he killed his man and the moment
afterward, but that their minds were In
sore agitation and sffllction 70 determine
whether he was insane at the moment
lgheR he Fl red the fatal bullet. The Judge,
instead Of endesvoriBg to repel the con-
sequences of sueh palterlng with priEci-
pies which are plain to every person POS
ssssing common sense, told them that il
they had a doubt, the prisoner E culd

--ElIh a remarkable judicial expressiOn az
this, which, In fact, was all ths excuse
that they needed, they brought in YER
dict of not guilty. Il therefore seems by
this remarkable opinion that Cois was
sane the moment before he fired the
pistol, he was rRving crazy when be fred
it, not knowing what be was about, and
recovered his senses the moment his
victim fell. This remarkable discovery
OF momentary insanity, preceded aud
followed by sanity, is really the most ex-
traordinaTy development Of the age.

hanging occurred about eleven miles
from Brownsville, on the SheIan's Ferry
road. Ii is not known who the execu-
tionsrs were. A close pursuit was insti-

is hoped that they will be captured.
