TIE CAR-HooK MURpKR-Foster,s Gaze 10 b,
Finally Adjudged IA Octo6er-A Nice DIGESTION of
LdD.-lt has been decided to bring mp the case
OIL Sa roster inc ssr-hook murderer, in the octO-
per term OF the court Of appeals in Albany.
Should that court decide against Foster he has
no frrther redress in law, and must hang unless
the governor should step in and grant a respite.
lt Is popularity supposed that the question which
the court OF appeals will have TO decide upon
is whether Foster, in killing Mr.. Putnam
was was guilty OF reconciliation. This is a mistake.
The jury which rendered the verdict Is respon-
slble for that, and before the court of ap-
peals the question of generalization will not
DC prougnl up. nor any question OF fact in
tne case. IL Will be simply on questions of law.
The counsel for the defence rely mainly en- one
technical point in the charge OF Judge Cardozo
% ger ester new trial. 1t was where the
judge refused to charge that a man having a
murderous weapon in his hands and using it II
not with intent TO kill but to do bodily injury Is
guilty OF murder in the second degree. 1t is said
TO be somewhat novel point of law, and one in
which the general term decided Judge Cardozo
to have been correct. Should the court of an
peals agree with the lower court, Foster will be
taken again 10 the over and termiDer and re-
sentenced to be hanged, probably some time in
November or December. On the other hand if
the higher court decides the point of the defence
well taken, there will be a new trial. and IN il
not unlikely that, now the public mind has for
gotten the atrocious incidents of the murder
roster may be condemned to a much lighter
punishment than that first meted out to him
