THE CRIME of which the three young
men are accused, who were detected III
the hotel on Water street OH Sunday
morning and arrested, may not be classed
among capital cases. The hotel at the
time was not &C ually dwelling house,
"a II was closed up and no one was liv-
ing iu it. Yet It did adjoin dwelling
houses. Nor was it set on fire, although
the presumption is that the men hav-
ing broken into the house and built a
fire that was dangerous, they Intended
u set fire to the house. Section y OF
the Digest says: "1f any person shall
willfully and maliciously attempt to set
on fire any dwellins-h house, or other
building, any slip, vessel, wheat, grain'
hay, straw, boards, shingles, lumber or
Goals of another, he shall be deemed
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and shall be
fined not exceeding $500, shall be i'm
prlsoned not exceeding two years" Sec

conclusive; it says; "It any person
shall wilfully and maliciously burn, or
set on fire any dwelling house Of another,
or any store or other building adjoining
to, or parcel Of dwelling house Of an
other, such person shall be deemed
guilty of arson and felony, and shall
suffer DEATH" To the ohense of enter
ing and attempting to set fire to the
hotel, these men may very properly be
accused with attempt to commit larceny
also, and subjected to the pillory and
lash.
lisa great pity that they cannot be
indicted at once and tried and punished
TO the extent of the law. But the
Grand jury having been discharged they
will be held until the February term at
the expense Of the county.
