There is some doubt about where Guiteau will be tried. At common law the removal of the injured person from the county where the wound was inflicted, and death elswhere, left the offender Lot triable either where the inju- ry occurred or where the injured person died. h New Jersey, by special statute, the offender may be tried where the murdered man died. If, then, Guiteau cannot be tried at Washing ton, he will probably be taken to New Jersey and will be tried there. It seems strange, in- deed, that man guilty of an offence at Wash ington. and who has neither himself done any crime in New Jersey, nor melted anyone else to any crime in New Jersey, can be triable in that State. The only theory that occurs to us justifying such law is this: A person is always himself triable for the criminal result of his own act where that act takes final effect. If A, living in Connecticut, shoots scroas the State boundary line and kills man in New York, he is triable for murder in New York. So if he shot the bullet into the man while ne is in Connecticut and he goes over the line and dies in New York. May it not be reasonably said, then, that the death is the natural result of the criminal act in Connecticut and that the criminal is triable for the injury and final death as one continued act commenced indeed in Connecticut, but finished ip New York
 Just as the intelligent agent might go on plot ting and planning and finally accomplish the death of the victim, so the unintelligent agent, the bullet, goes on wearing away and finally destroying the life of the wounded man, all as one continuous act with the first shooting.

There has been considerable discussion of the medical aspects of the Presidents case since the autopsy. The New York Herald, follow. ing in the wake of Dr. Hammond's criticism, seems yet to believe that competent surgical skill might have saved the patient. Such is not the general opinion either of doctors or laymen. It is true that there was a fundamental error as to the course taken by the ball. Dr. Bliss and his associates assumed that it was turned downwards by striking the eleventh rib; whereas, it took almost an opposite direction. What the attending physicians mistook for the main wound was merely a branch formed by the borrowing of the pus which flowed from the injured parts. Had the doctors known tine truth, they would hardly have given en. couragement to hope for the Presidents re- covery. They are much blamed because they did not know it; but this kind of criticism does not take into just account the difficulty and danger of exploring wound of the terri
 bic nature inflicted by Guiteau's bullet. It is possible that New York rough, brought from saloon shooting into Bellevue hospital, might have been inquired into after a fashion that was not possible in the case of a wounded President. There would have been nineteen chances out of twenty that the rough would have been died under hands of his doctors. But had he survived the examination, and had the doctors found just where the bullet lay, could they have kept such wound clear of matter such as caused blood poisoning and secondary hemorrhage in the Presidents g case9 The best medical opinion is that they could not; that the President was a doomed man from the outset. As an argument that surgery is not yet in any sense science, the Presidents case may be of some value; but it cannot falrly be said to be evidence of gross unskillfullness against bis attendant physicians. -....-

Key % Brady.
New York Sun.


Erring Brother Key il anxious to have
it generally understood that he il nothing
worse than fool. The fact that the pres.
ent proceedings against the star route con.
spirators imply serious charge against
his own management Of the postofhce,
under Hayes, seems to have penetrated to
his consciousness.
To reporter who asked his opinion Of
tho charges against Brady. Mr.. Key said /:
" l do not believe they arc true. think
Gen. Brady was one of the ablest, best
officers that ever presided over the con-
tract bureau Of the department" And
then. having turned his mind back to the
period when he was postmaster general
and Brady his able and good assistant, Mr..
Key added There is not word or figure
in these charges that We did not have
something of two years ago."
The last part of Mr.. Keys plea is true
enough. Nearly all the facts now pub
lished in regard to the swindling system
which Postmaster General James il en-
gagged in breaking up were in Mr.. Keys
possession two years ago. Tho Sun
printed them. Congress took up the mat
ter and investigated it thoroughly. There
was very general public demand that
Key should do the work that James is
doing. The trouble was not that Key
lacked the evidence on which to proceed.
What he did lack was either the brains to
comprehend the organized corruption ram
pant in his department, or the disposition
to act under the circumstances like an
honest man and q faithful public servant.
