CHICAGO, SEPT. l3. 1872.

CHICAGO, SEPT. Ii, 1877.
Probably, never in the history of any
Of the great cities Of the west, were there
% many horrible murders committed in
the same length Of time, as in Chicago
since the great fire Of October last Since
that time crime Of every kind has been
rampant; and the great number of muir
ders-murders Of the most brutal and
cold-blooded character-has been SO
many, that at last the people Of this city
have concluded to take steps which, it is
at least hoped, will tend 10 lessen the num-
Der Of murders If it does not stop them al
together.
Itwould seem that, dating from that aw.
full Monday 10 October last, when Chi.
cago, the pride of the west, was almost
swept from the face Of the earth-when
everything in every direction was being
dsvoured by the fire monster, Gugori
Peri, an Italian saloon keeper, who, with.
out cause or provocation, in cold blood lit
orally
with large cheese knife. Peri was az
rested, tried, convicted, and sentenced 10
be hanged. But, through the efforts Of his
counsel and friends, . supereedeas was OBJ
tAined and the worthless life of the cold
bloodsd wretch wa, prolonged. He will
have second trial at the present term OF
Judge Trees court, nov in session. and il
10 eonadsntiy expected and hoped that the
verdict will be the same as in the second
case, and that this time he will be hsne cd
Following close upon the heels of the
Peri murder, came the

The Law of Negligence.

In 1866, an infant of six years had
his right foot crushed and mangled
while playing with other children on
a turn table belonging to the Sioux
City and Pacific rrilway, in the town
of Blair. A suit was brought by his
next friend, in the Circuit Court of
the United States at Omaha, for
damages. The jury, on the first tri-
al, disagreed; but a second trial re-
suited, on the 9th inst, in a verdict
for the plaintiff for $500. The
ground of the action was, that it was
the duty OF the defendant to keep
the turn table securely locked or ias-
tened 50 as to prevent it from being
turned or played with by children,
ur 10 keep the sane guarded SO as to
prevent injuries such as befeI the
plaintiff. 1t appeared on the first
lrial that the turn table was con-
stiucted and left as all railways con-
struct and leave their turn tibles.-
Judge Dillon instructed the jury that
ifthc company did not know, and had
no reason to suppose, that children
would to the turn table to play, or
had no reason to suppose ti,at if they
resorted there they would likely be
to get Injured thereby, then a YER
dict could not be found against the
defendant. But, ii the defendant
did know, or had good reason to be
lieye, under the circumstance, the
children of the place would resort TO
the table to play, and if they would or
might be injured, then, if the defend
ant took no means to keep the chill
dren away, and no means to prevent
the accident, defendant would be
gu lty of negligence, and would be
answerable for damages caused to
children by such negligence. The
finding of the jury as above stated,
was that the company were guilty OF
NEGLECT. of q want Of due and proper
care in the construction Of machine
~ of a dangerous character, and so
leaving it exposed that, as reasona-
bic men, the officers Of the road
ought to have seen that such acct
dents would occur.
