en- route to Folsom with prisoner named
John Roach, who has been sentenced to a
term of two years for grand larceny. Roach
was in saloon in Woodland a few evenings

remarked that he had been collecting. An
acquaintance jokinely asked where he car
ried his money. and he replied. !" Under the
cushion on the wsgon-seat." Roach imme-
diately afterward slipped out Of the saloon
and took the money. He was arrested few
DAYS afterwards on suspicion, but denied all
knowledge of the matter in talking to the
Deputy Sheriff, who arrested him. Sheriff
Rahm, whom Roach did not know, after
wards had talk with him as if confidant.

TIE FAILURE OF THE LAW IN CAPITAL
CsSEs

Whatever the cause or causes may be,
whether morbid sentimentalism in pub
lie opinion, or defects in the machinery of
The Courts, the fact IS undeniable that the
legal penalties for the crime of murder
have fallen into desuetude in this State.
When we review the history of criminal
law during the past ten or twelve years in
California, we are compelled to conclude
that no form OF murder is foo atrocious,
deliberate, wanton or cold. blooded, to be
condoned by juries, and we see also that
the tendency to acquit murderers becomes
more marked, instead of declining, as time
passes. Punishment in capital cases is
neither prompt nor certain. Men under
homicidal charges are suffered to lie in
prison for months, and even years, before
being tried. 1t might almost be supposed
that there was set purpose to wait until
all recollection of their crimes had died
out, to the end that the defense might be
the better able to influence the jury by
sentimental appeals. So various have
been the forms of homicide which have
escaped punishment that thinking men must
doubt whether there remains any protection
for human life beyond what every indi-
vidual can supply for himself. 1t has lately
been suggested that the public should be
disarmed, in order to guard against the
frequent accidents which result from the
common habit of carrying weapons In
view of the average results of our murder
trials, however, it would be far more
logical to propose the abandonment of all
laws and ordinances against the carrying
of concealed weapons, for at the present
time no man can know when the preser-
walton of his life may not depend upon
his own ability to resist an attack, and it
is evident that the practical immunity with
which murder is now committed must en-
courage homicidal assaults greatly. As
the case stands there is in fact no ade.
quate restraint imposed upon the malig-
nant, the passionate, the quarrelsome man.
He has been taught by series of notorious
cases that he who commits murder has
little or nothing to fear beyond short
imprisonment. Even in the exceptional
instances in which jury sentences a MUIR
derer to q term in the Pententiary, the
convict knows that his period of
incarceration will really not be half of the
ostensible term. For when he has been
in the State Prison two or three years it
is always possible to get up petition for
commutation>xr pardon, and it will be
strange indeed if the very men who sat
upon his case and best know his guilt do
not lend themselves to his enfranchise-
ment-often for no better reason than to
escape importantly. The result is that
murder has become to all practical intents
a crime of less gravity than burglary or
highway robbery or forgery. The man
who is convicted of any one of these Of
lenses is apt to serve out his full term,
but directly murder is committed strong
interest is excited in the fate of the Grim
inal, and there are plenty of soft-hearted
and softer-headed people to enlist them
selves in the mischiovous work of nullify-
ing the laws and making them con-
temptible.

Rush for Inyestment-Fish Culture.

CHICAGO, December 15th.-The books for
subscriptions to the four per cent. loan, with
which it is proposed to take up the $40 00C
of six per cent. bonds, were opened yester.
dsy, and up to this evening $500, 600 worth
of the bonds have been subscribed for at par.
So great was the rush, and so evident was it
that capitalists and bankers would secure the
whole loan, and thus keep it out of the
hands of the people, that restrictions were
placed on the subscriptions which will, it is
hoped, result in the poorer people being able
to invest in these securities.
