SECOND MISUNDERSTANDING Mark
well, whom we mentioned yesterday
in connection with the shot fired in
Nelson's bootblack stand, claims that
we did him great injustice. He denies
all knowledge of the little boys pres
ence at the door, or that he spoke to
him. and is emphatic in the assertion
that he had no intention of shooting
at the child or any n else at the
time. Arthur Perkins Hoffman says
precisely the same thing of Smith,
whom he Sent into eternity for an Of
tense as slight as that of Elrod's little
boy-for presuming to look upon a
presence so august and regal. Mark
we'll claims that he is not in the habit
of carving a pistol, and that the n
from which the shot was fired was
merely placed i'll his hands that morn
ing by a third party to be given to the
owner We give him h benefit OF
these statements, and have no desire
to wrong him or II else; but
would suggest that, in the opinion of
a great many people. the man who
shows a murderous disposition when
under the influence of liquor, morally
commits murder every time he gets
drunk.
