In relation to the deplorable case of the un-
fortunate young girl at Hagerstown, Md,
which has recently been made public, the Bal
timore American says the circumstances which
so to implicate two persons in the death, make
out prima facie case, as far as public opinion
is concerned, but when the rigid rules which
obtain in courts of law are applied, there has
been nothing brought to light, as yet, which
will sustain an indictment against the suspect
cd parties, much less secure their conviction.
