An interesting question In criminal law
was raised by recent trial In England. "A
man and his wife, after trying for eight
DAYS in vain TO drown their sorrows in
Yhiskey, agreed 10 drown themselves in
water. With this laudable purpose in view,
thew threw themselves together into the
river. The husband firmly resolved to COM
NIT suicide or perish in the attempt, Sue
ceedcd in accomplishing bis purpose, and
was drowned. But the wife was not so for
tunate. She escaped death only to be tried
for her life in court OF law. She was
charged with the murder OF her husband,
on The ground that she bad consented 10
his killing himself. The Lord Cbief-Justice
charged the jury that if two persons agreed
to commit suicide and only one OF them
succeeded, the survivor was guilty OF MUIR
der. The jury, however, found that
after eight days OF earnest drinking
the parties to the agreement were mot
capable Of forming definite Intention 10
commit suicide, and accordingly acquitted
the woman. THIS was not novel case. "A
similar one occurred as early as the reign
OF James ]. A husband having said to bis
wife that be was weary OF life and would
kill himself, she replied that il he did she
would also. Hethereupon got some poison
and mixed it With drink, OF which they
both partook. The husband died, but the
wife saved her life by taking an antidote.
She was afterGard tried for murder, but
was acquitted on the ground that being the
wife of the deceased she was not free
agent, but bad acted under his con-
troll. Another case OF this kind was
tried at the Old Bailey, In 1928. A
man and woman who had been lly-
ing together, but were not married,
agreed to destroy themselves, and went one
night TO the Thames for that purpose. How
she came to her death was matter Of 9dis.
pute. The indictment charged the prisoner
with having thrown her into the river. But
there was some evidence showing that she
had accidentally fallen into the water, and
that he had plunged in for the purpose OF
rescuing her. The jury found that both
had gone to the river for the purpose toi
drowning themselves, and returned yer.
dict OF guilty. The case was afterward con.
sidered by the Law Judges, who held that
.sii the deceased threw herself into the wa
ter by the announcement Of the prisoner
and because she thought be had set her the
example, In pursuance OF their previous
agreement, he was principal in the second
degree, and was guilty OF murder; but as Il
was DOUBTFUL whether the deceased did moi
fall in by accident, 1t was not murder in
either OF ,bem.'' The prisoner was there,
upon recommended for pardon. Still
another case of this kind was tried in Lon
don in 1888. This also was the case Of {
man and woman who bad been living TO-
gether as husband and wife without having
been pronounced such according to the
forms OF law Being in poverty and dis
tress, and wishing 8 to die in each other!
arms" they agreed to take poison together
She died. He recovered, and was con
yicted OF murder.-NeD York Times.
