The verdict Of Not Guilty pronounced by the
Mcfarland jury, remarks the n. Y. Commercial,
practically establishes three propositions, which
public sentiment in its sober moments must hes
itate to approve:
/ 1st-That adultery justifes homicide.
2d-That the suspicion of adultery justifes
homicide
8i-That homicide committed under either Of
the foregoing proyoca.iohs is proof of 'justifa-
be insanity
As there was not particle of evidence prov
ing adultery in the case, clearly, therefore, this
verdict procaims license to the husband who
takes his victims life on suspicion merely.
