TIE New York authorities, having become
satisfied of the guilt of LatriInouillc, who
was charged with the murder Of Catharine
Dunsbach, at Cohocs, don't propose 10 give
him two or three years respite, but will hang
him on the 20th Of August The people of
that State are not to be worried by reprievcs
and combinations when the guilt of the
criminal is established which we think is
considerably better for all concerned. There
is no use in having laws unless they are wig

CALEDONIA COUNTY CRTMINAIS. Alvin II.
Stokes, charged with producing abortions
was tried in the Caledonia county court last
week and found not guilty. The verdict
was a surprise to all who heard the evidence
or who know the character Of the man The
judge, lawyers and officers of the court said
before the jury took the case that they could
not fail to convict at once. The evidence
was positive, direct and particular in all its
/ revolving details The abortionist took his
| victim and the father of the child to an ont
of-the-way and lonely logging camp in one Of
| the back towns where the deed was COM
mitted. This was three years ago. The
woman has never recovered and was only
able to enter court by the aid of others
Stokes was acquitted Of a similar charge at
last December term of court to the surprise
and disgust of all decent people
Richard E. Peabody, convicted of forgery
at this term, had his case go TO the supreme
court on exceptions TO Judge Ross ruling
in relation to the admission of evidence. His
bail was fixed at $1,000, and he is about the
street again.
