4 curious question has been raised by
Lyman Trcman, in behalfof Stokes. grow
ing out of the law defining degrees of MUIR
der enacted by the last legislature of New
York. Among the forty four " requests .
made to the court, to charge the Jury as
law governing the case, is one, to the
effect, that the statute of 1873 having re-
pealed the previous statute, "definng muir
der in the first degree" there is no statute
in force applicable to that crime, ''as was
defined prior to that statute"-that is at the
time Fisk was shot-and that, therefore.
there is no law in existence under which
Stokes can be convicted, under the present
indictment, of murder, mansaughter or
any other crime. 1t has been repeatedly
decided in New York, as well as elsewhere,
that the repeal of statute, unaccompan-
led by provision that the repealed law
should remain in force until all offenses
committed under it should be disposed of,
but only in respect to them, prevented any
prosecution of such offenders and worked
their immediate discharge. 1t is necessary
that these "saving clauses" should be care
fully worded, and great care was taken with
the ''new murder law" as it is called and
it would, therefore, he an extraordinary in
stance of careless legislation if in the end,
Tremuins point should be found to have
been well taken.

Financial Embarrassment oil she
Spragucs OF Rhode Island.

Considerable interest was occasioncd in
the city Tuesday by the posting of dis
patch in the Merchants Exchange, Of
which the following is copy:

rent here that the Spragues are embarrassed
and it is necessary for them to raise one or
two millions to keep from suspension. II
is said they have succeeded in pulling
through for to-day but trouble is antici
pated for tomorrow. Their assets arc said
to be seven millions greater than their
liabilities, and want of current funds is the
cause. A meeting Of their creditors takes
place at 4 o'clock to-day
In regard to a meeting OF creditors hay
ing been called, the wording of the des-
patch is probably too general, as il would
doubtless be impossible to secure meeting
of all creditors at moments notice. Per
haps some of those largely interested may
have been called together for consultation.
In response to our inquiries by telegraph,
we learn from Providence that no informa-
ton in regard to the financial condition of
the Spragucs can properly he commune

that there have been several meetings of
the bank officers of Providence, Newport

4 COAVartiIy Murder.

\ special dispatch to the Baltimore
-hwe'tcon gives further particulars of the
cowardly murder of l.. l.. Clary. briefly
alluded to in the telegraph columns of THE
GLOBE on Wednesday morning. John H.
Resley, a son of Horace Rcslcy, Esq
clerk in the circuit court, felt himself az
gricyed by an article which appeared in the
Times assaiing the character of his father,
and charging that there was fraud practsed
in paying the jurors and taesmcn summon
ed in the case of the State vs.. Lear, who
was convicted of crime last week. At . p.
M Monday, young Kesley went to the
Times Office armed with revolver and
meeting Lloyd l.. Clary, the editor, in the
hall at the top of the first flight cf stairs
he put to him the question "Dd you write
that article ?" at the same time drawing
his pistol Clary exclaimed, John, give
me chance Resley said NO. and i'm
medlately fired two shots, the one passing
through Clary's neck and the other enter
ing his chest, just below the heart. nfict-
Ing fatal wound.
Mr. Bradley, collecting agent for the
Times, was in the editorial room. and the
door being open he heard the words that
passed between Resley and Clary. He
says that Rcslcy went up stairs and met
Clary on the landing and then the words
passed which are given above, Clary had
been in the press room on the third floor.
and was returning to the editorial room
when he encountered Resley.
Mr. McCardc, foreman of the COM
posing room of the Times Office, makes the
following statement
About . o'clock Mr.. Clary left the press
room and went down stairs. In two min
utes or less ! heard two shots in rapid sue
cession. | ran to the door leading down
stairs, and found Mr.. Clary ON the second
step, the blood gushing from his throat and
breast. lie was returning up stairs lie
exclaimed, go for doctor! y He had one
hand to his throat, and in the other pistol.
lie was falling or leaning against the wall
The words came from his throat in rasps.
There was no one on the stairs but Clary.
! ran down to the street and saw John ii.
liesley standing on the opposite side, res
iculating wildly. He said, 81 did it, and
| am ready for any of his friends and at
the same time reached behind him as If to
draw pistol.
Mr. Clary was carried to the third floor
and physicians summoned DIR. Charles II.
Ohr considered the wounds fatal, and was
of opinion that death would cnsuc in few
hours. Resley surrendered himself and
was committed to Jail.
AS soon rs the fact of the shooting be-
came known great crowd gathered in the
stract in front of the Times Office, and
much excitement prevailed. The rite Of
baptism was administered to the dying
man by Fathers Brennan and Ryan of the
Roman Catholic church. His father, mo-
ther, sister and brothers, who reside at
Frostburg, were telegraphed for and arriy-
ed before his death, which took place at
iiity-two minutes past eight O'Clock that
evening.
Mr.. Clary was Il native of Allegheny
county, and was about twcnty-cght years
of age.
