The Religion OF Criminals Asked For.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
1t is very ungractous task to be continually
finding fault but there are certain grievances
that can be corrected only by calling attention to
them promptly just as often as they occur. Among
these Is the habit the reporters of the press have of
giving the nationality and religion Of persons &C.
cused Of crime when they happen to be Jews. Per-

Nicholson, he fails to tell whether Wight Is an
English EpiscOpalan, French Catholic, Scotch
Presbyterian or even an American Mormon
