SAVED BY His AsSAsSIN-The New
York World takes quite an original view
of the Fisk case. 1t says that Stokes saw
ed him from coming to ruin, and argues
that in the natural course of events his life
would have terminate d IN poverty and
diserace-iu poor house or prison. 1t
Stokes had been sagacious enough to plan
a really terrible revenge; if he had net
been passionate fool, he would have let
him run through his natural career, TO be
overtaken by his inevitable fate. The bul
let, says the New York World, WIN b
ended the career of Fisk. inv sted is
memory in moment with IA kind of popu-
lar sympathy and pity, which will intahbly
be imputed, if not to him for righteous
ness, at least for scandal aud a shame to
his slayer.
