A Baser Sort Of Eugene Ara,n.

The trial of Ruloff, the survivor of the three
villains by whom, it Is alleged, the store Of
Halbert Brothers was broken into, and Mirick,
clerk, who was killed on the 18th of October,
1870, in Binghamton, resulted on Tuesday in
verdict Of murder in the first degree.
Both the counsel for the prisoner and the
Attorney General likencd the prisoner to
Eugene Aram. The Attorney General por-
trayed him as ''this learned man, Ruloff, who
In the conduct of this trial has shown his brain
to be Of the greatest calibre, who was acute
and learned, of vast resources, speaking and
writing in seven different languages, a good
lawyer and savant; !" adding that in his room
In Third avenue in New York he had sat and
weaved schemes of crimes which his tools
and accomplices carried into effect, and when
they were tried for any offence he would
appear and defend them. 1t appears that
Ruloff not only killed Mirick, according to
the testimony of Burrows, Mirick's fellow
clerk, but also that twenty years ago he had
murdered his own wife and child. No wonder
that when the prisoner furtively raised his red
idded eyes he looked on not one sympathetic
face n ths Courtroom. He vas sentenced t1
be executed on the 81 Of March next, Hang
Tag will be almost too mild punishment for
this Eugene Aram of baser sort.

little more serious we shall perhaps better
discharge than we are doing now what Carlyle
once declared to be the prime object of poll

melancholy truth that we do not hang our
