lie must not know, or it Implies that
something is intended 70 be done to
shield somsbody in the commission o.
crime. In the case Of the Attorney Cen
eral who has been so signally unsuc-
cessful in the prosecution of capital
cases, it looks as If it might be
an effort to throw mantle OF
charity around him, that his own
weakness might not be so glaringly ex-
posed. We do not pretend to say that
this is the true reason for the secret in
quest, but no doubt there are those who
might feel disposed to give credence to
such a report. In the present instance
the exclusion of the Reporters has 10
doubt worked favorably by bringing out
fuller report than if they had depen-
ded alone upon the evidence brought
before :.a iury, and the public as well
as the iurymen themselves can see that
many points were cleaned by the re-
porters that were not brought before
them. We think the movement Ill
favor of secret juries is . lad one c1d
will do more to brig Coroner's iyquests
into disrepnte than anything else that
could have happened. Let us have no
more star chamber inquests.

A FOrgetful Coroner.

We hope that it was only forgetful-
ness, or absent mindedness, that troubled
Coroner Butt yesterday, when he for
got to keep his promise to meet the
reporters Of the papers at his office at
four o'clock, to give them the opportu-
nifty of looking over the minutes Of the
hearing ON the Dugan-Rowe murder
case. 1t was bad enough to exclude
reporters from the inquest in the morn
ing without afterwards disappointing
them by not appearing at his office
somewhere near the hour he himself
appointed to meet them. This absent
mindedness on his part gave the re-
porters great deal of trouble, and
after waiting at the place appointed
for an hour and half, they started
out in quest of the forgetful coroner,
finding him at the City Hall entirely
oblivious of his promise. AS We have
already said we attribute this to his
forgetfulness, otherwise it would he in
keeping with the other action of the
inquest in the morning taken no doubt
at the instigation of the coroner, to ex-
clude reporters from the room. The
coroner should recollect that he is not
so strongly entrenched behind the dig
nitv Of his Office as to be unas sailable,
and he 10 doubt knows by this time
that in a case Of snch importance as
occurred yesterday, that he can gain
nothing by snubbing the reporters.
The published reports of the case all
show that the reporters were in pos
session CT more facts than were brought
before the Star Chamber Inquest. We
hope that hereafter, the coroner will
endeavor to brush up his memory, and
to recollect that an appointment to meet
the reporters at four O'Clock is differ
ent thing from not meeting them at all.
With this gentle reminder We drop the
subject for the present, with the under
standing that there is plenty of ammu-
nj ion left in store to be used if occa-
sion should require.

The Murder OF Mr.. Rowe.

The community has just been shocked
with the report of another murder, and
this time on account of the principals
being we'll known characters, ore Of
them, the victim being a city Council
man, a well known builder and contrac.
tor, and the one who committed the
murder, the keeper of a low unlicensed
drinking saloon, where both white and
black of the low est character ,cOngrega-
ted.
There are those, no donbt, who will
csnsure Mr.. Rowe lor being in that sa-
loon when he net bis death, but in
hi, iustitie alton it must be remem bered
that Mr.. Rowe never made any prettn-
sion to being total abstinence man,
but rather belonged to that large, and.
it must be said, very resp sctable class Of
people who consider 1t NO harm to
enjoy social glass with friend.
He owned considerable property in
that neighborhood, and wss in the vi
cinity looking after his interests. Along
in front but square distant trom the
saloon where the alteration took place
lay Thatcher street, which Mr.. Rowe
had been filling up, and some Of his
hands coming along and it being Satur-
day, they all stepped into the saloon to
talk over and settle their accounts
Nothing was more natural than tina,
they should do so, as it was the only
public placr in the ueis hbl rhood. This
much We feel should be said not exact
J.: i'll justification Of Mr. Rowe but that
the truth might be known and that the
ceEsure # iose who would find fault
with him may be spariugly used. Nc
, words of ours, however, cIn clothe such
nIace with that rasn""tahil't" ""H''I
a short tlu ago was claimed for 1t by
correspondents in some Of the newspa,
pers of this city. That such low
place was allowed to exist is no credit
to the Mayor aud his police, and while
s1uh pl.ces continue to exist more
of just such outrages and murders may
be e>p-c,ed, IS have disgracsd our city
for solnc weeks past.
The whole story Of the murder is
minute y and fully detailed as far as
the facts could be arrived at by our re
porters. There cannot but be gener-
al EXPIRE sion of sorrow at the untimely y
death Of Mr.. Rowe who was good citi-
zen AMI ly his industry had accumu-
lated c,l S derabl- property. Since last
September he has creditably represen-
ted his ward in the City Council, which
will uleet this evening to make the
needed preparations for attending the
funeral in body.

A star Chamber COrOner's Inquest.

When the Coroner's jury Yesterday

the grade Of murder. W Ell tie names
of he Lfors summoned had been call
ed over, Mr.. Luther W. Palmer,
made otion to exclude every
body from the room except the
Jurors, the Coroner and one witness at
a time. His re sons as h. gave them
were that it was the request Of the
States Attorney that hereafter all in
quests involving capital offences should
bs hel privately, because when tie in.
quest continued several days, the
published testimony of the witnesses
militatel a ainst securing other Wit
nesses. These reasons seemed 10 H.
sufficient to induce the jury to vote il
favor of the exclusion of the reporters
and Mr.. Turner, counsel for the priso.
ne. Notwithstanding what the Statr's
Attor ley s! Us, we doubt the propri-'y

gone by when star chamber inquests
can be rec ived with favor in this coun-
try, the public having right to know
that everything connected with such
important cases shall be fairly and
souarely met. The idea Of holding q
coroner's inquest secretly, implies some
thing dark and mysterious that the pub.
