TIE CONVICTION OF M.KEE

The general belief was that William

try was therefore startled by the an.
nouncement that he had been convicted
Some people rejoiccd, but the majority
felt no joy in the downfall of this gentle.
man. He had lived a life of usefulness ;
had been prominently before the people
for many years; had walked along a
very circumspect path, and was loved by
many and honored by all. In a moment
Of weakness he yielded to the tcmp,er,
If indeed he did yield, aud i. now u
branded man, q social outcast. But did
he yields he guilty. 1t may he that
he is. A jury Of his countrymen, after a
fair trial, has said he was one of the
whisky cOnspIrators, who so lately car
ried on at st. Louis their high-handed
system of robbery and perjury. This
verdict was induced by the testimony OF
very bad men-by the evidence of men
who admitted their own guilt-who.
without blushing, said: ave are
thieves and perurers." Such men are
not worthy Of belief, it is true, and the
jury. IL it gave to them credence without
having their testimony supported by
better testimony, has done to Mckee aud
the public great wrong. We desire the
punishment Of the thieves of the whisky
ring, but we believe that convictions OBJ
tanned by tine unsupported testimony OF
whisky thieves turned informers are
greatly TO be deprecated.
