LU BY TRIAL.

EDITORS "MoRNING HERALD."-In he-
half of the heads of families In this city,
as well as on my individual account, allow.
me to thank you for your consideration In
refraining from the publication of the de.
tails of the testimony on the Luby trial.
The idea which seems to prevail among the
editors of most of our secular papers, that
the mere fact of testimony having been
offered In court of justice, is sufll cient
justification for spreading 1t in full before
their readers, 10 matter how filthy and de-
moralizing It's revelations may be, is
most unwarrantable and pernicious one. It
undoubtedly increases the sale of their
wares among y class, unfortunately not
small, who are always ready to return like
dogs to their vomit, and for whose depraved
appetite no moral carrion is too pulrid.
But 1t is q question for their self res pect
whether they are willing to lower them
selves to the leyel of the obscene pictorials
in catering to this morbid craving ard for
their consciences, whether they are willing
10 incur the responsibility of this vitiating
the taste and c0rrupting the morals OF our
tender children. The course which your
paper is adopting both In this highly i'm
portant matter and In regard 10 imperlinent
intrusion and personal domestic privacy,
while requiring considerable degree of
manly resolution, as perhaps interfering
with temporary success, will in the end
win you the appreciation of all lovers Of
pure morality and q hieh-toned press.
am, gentlemen,
Yours very respectfully,
BENJAMIN LEE.
