Much as we are wont to talk of the in
creased prevalence of crime in these later
days, and to lament the ease with which its
perpetrators too often escape the penalty
justly duo them, there is now and then a
bright spot to be seen, giving hope of bet
ter things to come. Among the most en-
couraging of these hopeful signs is the fact
that the courts of law will not admit the
plea of drunkenness as aflording any pal
liaton for the commission of crime. Asa
case in point, John McManus, convicted of
murder in the second degree for killing
Michael Kerwin in New York, has been
sentenced toState Prison for life, and Judge
Brady, in passing sentence, addressed the
prisoner in a few terse sentences, which, 10
our mind, coming from such source, furn-
ish moro effective warning and admoni-
ton to the youth of our land, than all the
professional temperance lectures that were
ever delivered. The address to the prison.
er was as follows:
81 do not see any mitigating circumstance
es in your case. There are a class of per-
sons IN this community who think they
have only to become intoxicated to act with
impunity everywhere. As look upon it,
the drunkard is the greatest despot in this
country. He seems to stalk over the coun-
try wherever he pleases, to the terror of
everybody whom he meets. You become
intoxicated voluntarily, and you put your
self in position dangerous to the COM
munty. That is no excuse for crime.
Your crime is one that must be punished
severely. The city of New York must be
made secure from all persons of your ille-
gal disposition. While 1 am sorry to in
flict this punishment, for it affords me no
pleasure to do it, and 1 should rather dis
charge you than send you to the State Pris-
on, owe duty 10 the community and
myself in the administration of justice. 1
want the drunkard to understand that he
can have no favor from me. A man who
puts himself in dangerous position must
take all the consequences. You conceived
the idea of killing human being, and thus
undertook to exercise higher prerogative
than can be exercised by the Government
or its magistrates. 1t is an enormous of
fence and must be punished. Your SEN
tence is that you be confined in the State
Prison during the term of your natural
liIp -
