A Decisive Inducement to Conviction

We took occasion some time ago TO OK
press disapprobation Of one Of the argu-
ments addressed to the jury on the trial Of
BENNETT aud Mrs SMITH 10y the learned At
torncy-Gcncral OF New Jersey. The argu-
mcnt was that any mistakes committed in
that court would be rcmcdlcd by the court
above as writ Of error had been made by
statute writ Of right.
BY the decision Of the Court Of Errors Of
New Jersey, which we published yesterday
it Is now settled that in point OF fact this
was mistake, the statute on the subject
being held to bo unconstitutional.
This occurrence lends additional force To
the point previously made rs t. the impro-
pricty Of urging such a consideration upon
n jury. IL Is the duty Of n court and jury
trying a capital casc % use all the care and
caution which they are capable oi-all thcv
would use il they know their own action
was necessarily final. and could not be re-
viewed.

have passed through life and gone 10 his

Probably many lives are influenced in their

The negro Cox, In the course OF his re-
peated cross-questionings by policemen. dctec.
tivcs and reporters. has made differing state
ments In regard TO some of the minor details Of
the HULL tragedy. At one time he said that no
knew nothing OF tho black silk dress which wns

posed 1t had fallen down from the head OF the
bed. He is uncertain in his statements as TO
the number OF matches used. At first no said
that he liz the candle which he carried in his
pocket in order to peer into his victims eyes.
Later on he is reported us correcting himself by
saying That he used a match for this purpose.
1t should be- remembered however. that Cox
has not had the opportunity for minute and
prolonged survey OF the room which has been
enjoyed by tho police. He CROPPED his way
thither in the dark and tho greater part OF the
gnggiug. binding. and rihing was performed in

the Neapolitan and the Sfcilian take to the
salt water as readily as the dwellers by

The electric railway recently tested In Bar-
lin appears SO practicable that company of
German capitalists have petitioned the Eng-
lish government for permission to build a
railway on the new system in London. The
invention Is altogether a new one In it the
power is supplied by a dynamo-electric ma
chine worked by steam engine to another
dynamo-electric machine, which works the
wheels OF an electric locomotive. The road
way recently constructed to test the appara-
tus in Berlin was two hundred meters long
and on this road, with three cars, containing
twenty passengers, speed OF three meters
second was attained. The machine is noise
J less in it's operation.
Bismarck loses no time In turning to ac-
count the increased revenues provided by the
new tariff. The Berlin correspondent OF the
Standard (London) states that the long medi-
lated raising Of those regiments which are
numerically defective to the numbers required
on peace footing will not be further delayed.
To furnish the requisite numbers, giving each
battalion the minimum strength prescribed
namely, 664-a further levy Of 35,4O1 men is
necessary. Beside this, about one hundred
regiments require more workmen, and other
additions, making total accession to the
army Of 81, 1926 men. This will involve an aug
mentation Of army expenses of about 28000,-
GOO marks annually. The government Is also
seriously considering the proposal for the
formation of fifteen new batteries OF four
guns.
