Correct Conclusions - California
Badly Kall0ched.

New YoRK. March 28.-The Times
says: Now and then In California .
Chinsman 10 hanged. sometimes BY the
officers Of the law and oftsner by the
agents OF Q mob. The scquittal OF Kali
loeb. who has just been tried for the
murder OF De Young, would seem to in.
dictate that the day for hanging people In
California, except in such obscure cases
a. those above noted. has not yet come.
There have been innumerable cases
within the past few years in California
where the Jury acquitted persons who
were clearly guilty Of murder, the jury
In every case being sctuatsd BY sympathy
with the defendant or BY motives OF
qualification at the death OF the victim.
Mrs. Fair escaped hanging because they
thought II q hard case that Crittsnden
should ego back" on bis psramour and
live with his own wife after years OF neg.
leet. Virtually. the jury said that Mrs.
Fair was entirely justified In hunting
down Crittenden In the presence OF his
wife and children % she did. Later an
editor who had o newspaper discussion
with O local politician, was shot and
killed In cold blood by an angry man
who had been assailed. The slayer was
acquitted because the jury thought Il
time to curb the license Of the press, and
because some Of the jurymsn were OF the
same politics 90 the slayer. There 10 no
question as to the fact In either OF these
two cases. Clearly the Kalloch jury do.
oided that the community was well rid
OF De Young. and the slendsr excuse
offered them, by doubt thrown on tho
case by the evidence for the defense, was
sufficient for them TO bring In Q verdict
Of mot guilty" The minds OF the
jurymsn took In the whole circumstan-
ces of the case from the beginning Of the
fsud to the homicide. It was not Tor
them to say whether . man bad been
murdered or not, but TO say whether tho
murderer was to be, on the whole, 70.
wardsd for putting Q dangerous man out
Of the way. At this latter conclusion
the jury arrived. The public sympa-
thizrd with the jury.
