HANGING FOR MURDER PLAY
ED QUE IN NEW York;

In our comments, Friday morning, in
reference to the verdict in the Walworth
case, we made slight error in reference
to the crime of ''murder ia the second
degree, as it existed in New York, at
the time of the shooting, and under
which Frank Walworth was tried, but it
was not of nature to effect our argu-
ment. Although aware of the new def
milton given to that grade of crime by
the recent statute of New York, we
were under the impression that the dis
tinction-as a matter of law-did not go
into effect, so as to affect the quality of
Walworth's crime. Even under the new
distraction, created by the act of the
29th of May, 1878, it is impossible to see
how a jury-under the evidence and I'M
der the statute-eould do otherwise than
convict of murder in the first degree, the
penalty for which is hanging. The dis
tinction between murder in the two de-
grees now consists, almost solely, in de-
liberation. Heretofore, in order to
constitute the crime of murder in
the first degree, it was only ne
cessary that the intention to de-
stroy life should have been formed be-
fore firing the fatal shot or making the
deadly thrust, no matter how short
time light elapse between the forming
of the Intention and the commission of
the act. Now, however, the premedi-
tated d ssign must have been deliberately
formed, that is the one act must more
than Immediately follow the other A
deter mination to produce death, if we
unde rstand the new distinction, must
hav preceded the act by an appreciable
spats &c of time-a month, week, day,
an hour or half hour Now we submit
th at no case can possibly arise in which
a. 2i6erati0n will be more strongly mark
{ d than this. DaliberatiOn is an act of
the mind, and can, therefore, only be
proved by circumstances. A sane man,
contemplating murder, will not proclaim
his intention in the streets or from the
house-tops. 1t must be proved and in
ferred, if at all, from facts and circum-
stances, from the actions, movements
and doings of an accused. We do not
propose to, again, review the facts of
the ease, and, therefore, only say that,
in our Judgment, if Walworth was
guilty at all, he was guilty of the higher
crime.
Charles O'Conor has been interviewed
and, if he does not say so in express
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-07-10

terms, he, by implication, views the
matter in the same light. He is not
satisfied with the verdict, but says :" |
expected an acquittal." The testimony
was all one way or the other. Either
the purpose was formed in his mind ere
he left Saratoga, that in certain con-
tingency-that is upon failure in ''set
ting family matter" would shoot
his father, or else he was insane, and,
consequently, innocent. He armed him.
self for the purpose of shooting, did he
not? He either armed himself for this
purpose, or in the belief that he was
about to place himself, unnecessarily, in
position where he would be compelled
to use it against the author of his being.
We think the first hypothesis is the only
one that is fully sustained by all the evil
dence, facts and circumstances in the
case. But taking the other theory, it
still evinces determination, because the
law, reason and common sense do not
allow of a man rushing, knowingly and
unnecessarily, into places of danger,
prepared, and intending, to defend him.
self, even to the killing in a certain con-
tingency, and, when this result occurs,
to take advantage of the contingency,
and claim that there was no premeditated
determination. His letter to his uncle,
his unaccustomed arming himself with
pistol, inviting and seeking an interview
with his father, keeping his movements
secret from his mother and all others, if
they tend to show anything, show de-
termined generalization. We are in
clined to agree with the New York
Times that the meaning of the verdict is
that a conviction for murder in the first
degree cannot, hereafter, be obtained in
New York With it, we trust, for the
safety of society, that the law may be
repealed. Outside of Vermont, such a
thing as Imprisonment for life is I'M
known, save where a convict dies during
the early years of his term of imprison-
ment. A sentence of life is not looked
upon as peculiar hardship, because the
hope of pardon is ever before the con-
Wet, and actual experience and statistics
show that the average term of confne-
ment of persons sentenced for life is
about the same as that of persons SEN
fenced for a given term of years for
forgery, arson and like crimes. The
Legislature of New York, in their en-
deavor to provide sure punishment for
murderers, have, in reality, made true
the jubilant and boastful words of
Reynolds, that, in New York, ''Hang-
ing for murder is played out"

" and without delay, conformably to

In conclusion, the committee would
