THE LAST MURDER.

TernapS some persons lnOuShl tHaI tho
very summary strangling of Cullen in
Aroostook by his neighbors without Judge
or jury would put an end to murders in
this State, but the recent bloody tragedy
in Warren is not agreeable to their cal
culations and expectations. Scarcely had
the sensation created by the Mapleton af-
fair subsidized, or time been allowed suf-
ficient to deposit the limb on which Cullen
was hung in the Boston Museum, when
another murder is committed, this time in
a long settled, populous, Intelligent, well
cultivated community, where the deed is
viewed with horror and indignation. All
the parties concerned in the murder at
Warren had doubtless read of the lynch
ing in Aroostook. The man or woman
who did the deed knew of the vengeance
visited upon Cullen. He had time to re-
feet upon it and apply its lessons, what
ever they might be for him, to his own
case, but it did not teach him to desist
from his bloody purpose.
What did the lynching of Cullen teach
him? We suppose some of those execu-
TONERS in Aroostook will be surprised
when we tell them that in their act the
murderer in Warren may find authority and
stimulus for his. but, nevertheless, such is
the case. They burned for vengeance, so
did he. They believed they had right to
take life, to rid the world of monster, so
did the murderer of Baker 1t is evident
from what has been made public tina,
Baker had long been breaking the laws Of
God and man in his connection with the
woman now under arrest for the murder
Doubtless he had grievously wronged her
betrayed, disgraced, ruined her, and sub.
iccted himself and herself to heavy pun
ishment under the laws of the State
Stung by a sense of her wrongs she may
have done the deed, or what appears more
probable it was done by some friend of the
woman who knew the story of her wrongs,
and felt that it was right for him to take
the execution of what he conceived to be
Justice into his own hands, and not await
the laws delay. There is not an argu-
ment which the AroostOok lynchers can
urge for their act which he cannot as
reasonably urge for his. They may escape
because of their numbers, but he. if he is
taken and convicted must be hung for his
crime. In one respect their crime is
worse than his. for there is little danger
that this murder will be upheld by any
part of our community. while theirs was
sustained by some as worthy example,
thus becoming direct incentive to muir
der and lawlessness. And when very
respectable, "orderly" men take it into
their heads that they can hang at their dis
erection neighbor who has taken life,
they may be very certain that those who
are not so respectable" will take license !
from the doings of those esteemed their
betters, and hangings and shootings, with
out the Intervention of courts, will be-
come the general practice, and human life |
and property be without protection. Ap.
pearances indicate that vengeance was the
motive in the killing OF Baker, but unless
we desire anarchy to come again, we mus,
insist that the laws shall be respected and
the murderer be sought out and punished
as they direct.

and indomtable will. There are certain
rings that have been controlling, and we
might almost say poisoning the present ad-
ministration, that will find themselves away
from home, under his administration. If
elected he will surely be governor, and we
dare predict, he will be such a one as the
State may well be proud Of

In late notice of death we read that W
aged twenty-five years, died
on the 30th ult. The following lines also ap-
ear in this connection:
I'VE lay thee in the silent tomb,
Sweet blossom of q day,
We just began to view thy bloom,
When thou vert called away"
'Sweet blossom of day" is very pretty, bu.
to apply it to a man aged twenty-five is some
what out ofthe common way, and clashes with
received ideas on the subject.

TAXING THE PICTURES OF THE ACCUSED TRIO.
This morning Chief Clarvoe directed Officers
McDeyitt, Coones and Miller, of his force, TO
have the three men arrested on the charge Of
attempting to rob Shnster & Bros store, on
"Wednesday night, fmugged-" The detectives
accordingly proceeded TO the central guard
house, where the accused were confined In cell
No. 8, and telling them what was wanted they
protested against being taken to Gardner's gai-
lefy, but finally consented TO go to any other
place. Messrs Coomes and Miller then took the
sIhall one, Who gave his name as Henry Miller,
70 gallery on. eth street, between ID and +
streets, where he very reluctantly sat for his
picture. He persistently refused 70 sit with his
hat ON, and atolerably good picture was taken
in the position insisted upon, although il was
noticed that at the time the focus Of the camera
WIS brought to bear ON him, he gave an unnatu-
raj squint. He said he cared nothing for him
self. but wished to avoid any disgrace which
might be attached to his relatives, some
Of whom. he claims, reside i'm this city.
Adams and Patrick smith, were taken to Col
din's gallery, but tried to obscure the sun pic
lures by drawing their hats over their eyes.
They have employed Mr.. A. b. Williams as
their attorney, and after their return to the sta
ton house, conference with him in the cell
was allowed them by the officers in charge, pre-
paratory to the hearing of the case in the police
court, at oclock to-day.
One OF the three men endeav ored Yesterday TO
convince the members OF the board Of police
in the city, on their way to Richmond, and were
begulled into remaining in the city over night
and mysteriously found their way i'm front of
Mr.. Shuster's building about the time of the
alarm, andw arrested without any reason.
PLANTATION OF THE PRISONERS.
me three prisoners were brought into the
police court at 1:30 o'clock p. IN. to-day, and
were arraigned on the charge of grand larceny,
when Miller and Smith waived an examination
and MIR. Harrington asked that the bonds be
nxed at $4,000. Mr.. A.. B. Williams, counsel
for defence, protested against the amount as
excessive, as no larceny had been committed.
Mr.. Harrington stated that there was to be an-
other charge of burglary brought against them
for entering the house Of Mr.. Gardner, and
thought the amount not too high. The cour.
decided to nix the amount Of bail whenever the
accused are ready, or, if counsel preferred, he
would commit them for action of the grand
jpry, and let the higher court fx the bail. The
latter course was decided on. a
Adams stated that he was not ready for trial,
and asked through his counsel, Mr.. Williams, a
RpstPonement, which was granted until next
Friday, at 10 o'clock.
The prisoners were committed.
