There are now mauy wsys by which the
gritty can escape punisbmept, and this is
one rrssou why crimes are becoming 20
frequent and common. Il Ia the certainty
Of punishnient which d-ters n,-n frotu
crime. Few persons will commit an act
for which they expect to severely sader
Criminals almost always expect TO escspe
punishment. They commit crimes amer
they have weighed the chances ofescaping
the penalty which the law attaches to the
acts, and in these times il the criminal has
money or frishds the chances for defesting
the purposes Of the law and the ends Of
justice are decidedly ia favor Of the crimi-
nal There are many pien which are re-
sorted to TO shield the guilty from the veu-
geanc- Of the law. These pleas are foun-
ded 10 justice and when rightly applied
subserye wise purpose, but they are abus-
ed and juries often ncquit in cases where
they should convict. One Of thes~ pleas,
and one that il fast becoming common, il
the plea of insanity. This plea has pro
tected few criminals Of such mental de-
rangement as to he irresponsible for their
acts, bnt q has BEEN the means OF shielding
many On whose heads the peua'ty of the
law should have fallen. A horrible crime
ia committed. The proof is evident and
conclusive and, when the case goes to the
Jury they must, under their osths, rrturn
q verdict of guilty. Something must he
done To save the p-rpetrafor Of this deed.
The plea If insanity is s~f mp, the crime
confessed. but the criminal pleads that he

short time. when he is pronounced sound
in mind again and is again ut large eurour-
aged by his first adventure to violate the
Law again.
OF course no one contends for the con
vic,ion and parliament Of the insane. II
is not Of thi. that we complain. hut it is Of
its abuse that we complain. The plea 10
