The Tice-Berger Case.

As will be seen by our Criminal Cour
report. Lavega Tice. by his attorneys
withdrew his plea Of not guilty Of murder
in the first degree, and pleaded guilty tt
manslaughter in the fourth degree.
This action has been done with the cor.
sent Of the widow of the deceased, Mrs
Berger, and has been accepted by the judge
and the prosecuting attorneys, Mes~rs. Jack.
son and Bridges. Lavega Tice was reared
in Sedalia, is the son Of highly esteemed and
respected parents, and before and since the
offence which he admits, his character has
been irreproschxble. The act which re
suited in Mr.. Berger's death, was one Of
those rash, impetuous bursts Of boyisl,
passion, which might not occur in
a community in a thousand years.
1t was the onigrowth Of ha-ty
quarrel, and no one for a moment
believes that when young Tice, under the
impulse OF the moment. threw q stone at
Mr.. Berger, that he had the slightest idea
of the fatal consequences that would ensue
Mrs. Berger, in this Gaze, has exhibited a
most commendable and forgiving Christian
spirit. She knows by her own experience
the depths oi human suffering, and a. q
mother, she knew the Pangs that anguished
a mothers heart. She took into considera-
tien the extreme youth of the boy, the
grief Of his aged parents, his previous and
subsequent good behavior, and he-i,a,ed.
for one rash boyish act-shough fatal it
waste her-to crush out his aspirations,
to blight his future forever, and to bring to
the grave in sorrow the gray hairs Of his
father and mother, whom all respect. With
generous magnanimity, and with the consent
Of the authorities who conceded With her
Mrs. Berger has acceped young I'ices plea,
that the Law might be vindicated, die
claiming any desire to take advantage Of
an opportunity to wreak q peronal re-
venge, that could not restored the dead, or
Lessen one pang Of sadness.
We hope this will prove . warning 10
our young men and boys that will be
needed, and that its lesson may sink suf-
ficientIy deep into their hearts to restrain
and quell those hasty passions which. II un-
controlled, will lead them to endless trouble
and uncomfortable sorrow.
