ACCESSORY TO A SUICIDE.
Ia II Muuler to Help Friend Out Of the
World
New York Times. !

An iniarnatlng question In criminal law was
raised by q recent trial In England A man
and his wife, after trying for eight days In
vain to drown their sorrows In whisky.
agreed to drown themselves In water With
this laudahle purpose In view. they threw
themselves together Into the river. The hus~
band, firmly resolved to commit suicide or
perish In the attempt, snGceeded tn accom-
pllshing his purpose. and was drowned. But
the wife was not 90 Fortunate She escaped
death only To be tried for her life In a court
~ law She was charged with the murder
Of her husband. on the ground that she had
consented to hls killing himself,
The Lord Ghief Justice charged the Jury
That II two persons agreed to commit suicide
and only ono of than sueeeeded, tho survivor
was guilty of mueller. The jury, however.
found shat after eight days OF earnest drink
Ing the parties to tho agreement were not
capable of forming definite intention to
commit snieide. and accordingly acquitted
tho woman.
This was moi novel case. A similar one
| occurred as ehtly aa tho reign nf James |. A
husband having said to his Wife that he was
weary Of life and would kill himself, she rs-
piled that II he did ahe would also. He there
upon got some poison and mixed II with
drink 1T which they both partook. The h1s-
hana died. but tho wife saved her lite by
taking an antidote. bhe was afterward tried
for murder, but was acquitted on the ground
| that. being the wife Of the deceased, she WAS
not a free agent, but had acted under his COM
| troll.
| Another case of this kind was tried at the
| Old Bailey In 1923, A man and a woman who
had been living together. but were not mar
| rled agreed 10 destroy themselves. and went
ono night tn the Thames for that purpose.
| How ahe came to her death was matter OF
| dispute, The indictment charged the pris-
onar with having thrown her Into the river.
| lsui thars was some evidence showing that
/ she had accidentally fallen into the water,
and that he had plunged In for the purpose OF
| resclling her Tho jury found that both had
gone to the river for tho purpose of drowning
| themselves, and returned verdict of guilty.
| Tho ease was aEterwatd considered by
tho Law Judges. who held that III
| tho de0eassd threw herself into the
| water by the encouragement of The pris-
oner and because shC Thought he had set her
| tho example, In pursuance OF their previous
| agreement, he was n principal In the second
degree. aud was guilty pf murder but as 1t
was doubtful whether the deceased did not
| fall IN by accident. II was not murder In either
Of them" Tho prisoner was thersnpon req
| ommeuded for pardon.
| still another case of this kind wHE tried In
| London In ials. This also was the case oil q
man md women who had been living to-
gather as husband wfe without having been
| pronounced euoh according to tho forms Of
| law. Being in poverty and distress, and wish-
| Ing ito die IN aaeh others arms, they agreed
| to take poison together. She died. He re-
covered, and wRs convicted Of murder.
