Judge Murdoch, Of Cincinnati, on satur-
day last sentenced two gamblers, James and
Amos Davis, TO the whole penalty of the
law Of 1916, imposing fine OF not more
than $500 and an imprisonment In the county
jail, at hard labor, for not more than six
months. The public get the full benefit Of
tue law In the case of the Messrs. Davis. |
The Cincinnati Times In noticing the SEN
tencc says
"This Is the arst case In which the au-
thorities have dealt with gamblers 'on the
square, Once or twice before some Of these
gentry have been sentenced to jail, but In
one case at least they were liberated even
before they heard the click Of the lock that
announces the execution Of the sentence.
Could we possibly sympathzc with gamblers
In distress, very large measure OF pity
would 90 out toward these convicts. at
hard labor What q terrible punishment
for gentlemen 80 unaccustomed " work or
do anything for an honest living. The very
honesty of the labor these gentlemen are
now required to perform will greatly lnten-
sify their wretchedness. Should they get
through with the six months labor aud
come out sound In mind, limb and spirit,
they should begin to know something OF the
means by which most people get a living
and II there Is the least heart within the
beast they should refrain for the future from
| seducing and swindling those who have
saved n few dollars by hard labor Tho
sentence has sent a thrill of horror through
| the whole fraternity. The idea of going TO
work Is terrifying"
REMOVAL OF A WRECK.-Last evening Pro.
fessor Malford, OF New York, succeeded In
the partial removal Of the wreck Of the West
| Point from the channel Just below tho ship
| locks at Rockets. II will be remembered
! that some years ago this steamer, the prop
| Grty of the York River railroad, got adrlft
from her mOorings at Rockets, and sunk
! just below the ship locks. Afterwards u
freshet turned her upside down and she has
since been lying In that uncomfortable iiX.
Tho Professor last evening placed can Of
| powder Weighing about my pounds, Just
under the side Of the hull, and connected ii
by means Of wire, with battery placed
at a safe distance from II. The powder was
thereby made to explode, throwing nearly
half Of the wreck from her mOoring. Tho
boiler among other portions was thrown high
up In the air. The remainder Of the wreck
will be removed early this morning by the
same arrangement. Professor MalfOrd, IN
charge Of this work, Is also engaged 10 re-

MOST Of the recent horrible cnscs Of muir.
der furnish renewed illustrations Of the often
observed fact that "rum" is the great ally
OF murder. In nine cases out Of ten, the
murderer has previously placed himself I'M
der the influence of liquor. Sometimes II Is
tho direct and exclusive stimulator OF deeds
OF murder; aud sometimes, the intending
criminal, fired by other causes, hnds II nc
cessary to resort to II rs the only agency
capable of bringing him up TO the killing
point" But we always expect TO find It's
use associated In some way or other with the
preparation Of this, the highest crime known
TO tho law or to morality.

The President has received reports from
Gen. Terry, commanding in Georgia, con-
corning the murder of the late Senator Ad-
kins, of that State, in May last. Tho gen.
eral does not express any opinion himself,
but forwards documents and lets them tell
their own story. FROM statements made by
the wife and daughters and servants Of the
murdered man, II appears that II large gang
of persons was concerned In the assassina-
ton. Five shots were fired at the time Of
the murder, one by the man who committed
1t, one by Adkins at the man when he was
running away, and three by confederates
evidently as Signals. There had been
good deal OF effort to get Adkins Into muss.
When at the railway station he and his wife
had been insulted, and many insolcnt and
haunting remarks had been made In their
hearSng, with undoubtcd purpose to provoke
him into drawing his pistol, he studlously
kept his temper and declined TO be drawn
into controversy, and was therefore coolly
assassinated when on his way home. He
gave the name of his murderer before dying
but the civil authorities neglected TO take
any steps for his arrest, and 1t Is presumed
that he fed the country as soon as he found
the military were on his track. The COM
mandlng officer ut Warrenton gives num-
Der Of Instances In which the laws have
been violated Outrageously, the civil authori-
ties being entirely silent, or so lax in their
enforcement that nothing comes of the CT
forts TO bring the guilty persons to Justice.
