TINS woxAs-SnoorrSo CAsE.- This
morning. John McCarmack, the man who
shot Annie Welsh in house near the cor
ner Of Commerce and Second streets, q
few nights since. was tried in PoliceC Court
for shooting in the corporation, and dis
charged for want Of evidence. The
woman was unable to appear, aud has
announced that she will not prosecute
the case Had he stolen loaf Of bread
or coat, she would doubtless have clam.
ored at the laws delay in sending him to
the penitentiary; but to simply approach
by stealth window near which she sat,
draw weapon charged with deadly
missile, and lodge its contents in her
head, is too trivial a freak Of eccen-
triciiy to demand attention. Under
the circumstances, IL is not sur
prising that men should feel embold-
ened to commit any crime. In the first
place the probabilities are that there will
be no prosecution; but If the contrary
prove TO be the case, the courts will set
them free without delay. Thisis all very
beautiful in the way Of illustrating that
we have free country. 1t is also very
beautifulin the way Of Matching vigilance
committees, which are about as certain
to spring into existence one Of these days
as that effect follows cause. |Il
