subject without eNhausting it. He
knows the Chinese question thoroughly.
While no man is the keeper Of Pres-

should pay some heed to the counsel of
his closest friend, who happens at the

man of closest and largest information

The Character Of H =. Baldwin

During the trial of the case of Barber
US ellison yesterday, the character Of
baldwin,, the speculative clerk, former
~ in the employ of ellison 4 Barber,
was analysed. The examination elected
/ that he had been leader Of bible
class, who never drank, chewed or
smoked; and whenever he heard
man utter an oath on the street, he
would roll up his eyes like dying
cali, and looked the picture Of ahject
CONSERVATION. He was regarded by
most people as an exemplary man who
possessed none of the smaller vices.
Many father in this community who
knew Baldwin, held him up as an ex-
ample for his son. But the good Young
man became ambitious and began t.
rob his employers in a systematic man
ncr, such As would have reflected credit
upon Il thoroughbred professional thief .
When he closed his engagement at
Bodje he had &2I,o in his possession.
Mr. ellison, in his testimony, stated
that Baldwin had only stolen $1,000
from the firm, and the other $4,000
was the profit Of stock and other spacu-
2tj"nS entered into ny the thief. And
when curncrcd and threatened with
the State Prison, he gave up ali he had
o be permitted 10 escape without fur
her molestati0n. Tni5 fellow never
lad kind word to say for any Of his
lssOciates; he was always dwelling
lpOn their small and to degree harm

nature that would not cons; On The pos

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE FOR
CRIME. The New York Court of
Appeals has recently passed upon the
question whether drunkenness can
be pleaded as defense to a charge of
murder. 1t was claimed by the coun-
sci for a condemned murderer that
his client was the victim of an appe-
tite for drink which amounted to a
disease that destroyed his will-power
and rendered him legally irresponsi-
Bile, as in the case ofinsanity. A new
trial was therefore asked, because the
court below had refused to charge the
jury that the accused was not respon-
sible if the crime had been commit
ted when he was the victim of such
disease or if committed while he was
drunk. The Court of Appeals refuse
to recognize drunkenness as any ex-
cuse for crime. 1t holds that not
even frenzy or mental alienation
caused by drink, can exempt person
accused of murder from criminal re-
sponsibility. If a man voluntarily
gets drunk and commits a crime
while in that condition, he must an
swer for the consequences of his acts.
