INroXIcArIoN NO EXcUsE.-lt appears
now to be an established principle in our
courts, aud it ought to be better under
stood that the brutalizDg OF ones self
by intoxicating liquor is 10 valid plea for
the commission Of crime. / it were al
lowed as an excuse, and Il ground Of ex-
emption, then all that ruliians would have
to do before committing murder, Or high
way robbery, or any other crime, would
be to stupely their scnsbilites with drink
and the law would not hold them rcspon-
sblc for the offence.
The plea was never urged with more
persistency than in the case Of Foster, but
the courts all set it aside. On the very
day that Foster was executed, two young
rufiians were arraigncd before Judge Bra
dy for an assault committed OH citizen
on the Sunday night previous. The Of
fence was this Mr.. Antoldi, the COM
plainant, was attacked in Thirty-sixth
street, took refuge D Third avenue car,
was carried thence to Seventy.sixth street,
was attacked again and ran from the car,
the accused pursuing him,and was finally
robbed in the street. Their counsel ad-
mitted the offence, but pleaded among
other things that they were under the in
fuence of liquor, and did not know what
they were about. Judge Brady said,
" he certainly should not pay the slight
est attention to the plea of intoxication,' -
and sentenced them each to fifteen years
at hard labor in the State Prison. He
said, moreover, that if he had the seller
Of the liquor before him, he should deal
with him in the most severe manner the
law allowed y, OJserrer.

the whites who we're engaged in the fight
