Some months ago Rev. w. Myers, a
Methodist preacher, was brought before
his congregation az Branchdale on a charge
of undue intimacy with Kate, the wife Of
Ralph Price, young painter. The atten.
ton of the presiding elder was called to
Mr.. Myers conduct, but, Mrs. Price having
returned to Chicago, where her husband
was living, nothing more was done In the
matter. Price aud his family took moved
back here, and few days ago Mrs. Price
took her two children to her father house,
saying that she was going 10 visit her
mother in-law. The same day the Rev.
Mr.. Myers left his wife aud children. The
guilty pair met at the station and fled to-
gether. Mrs. Price is but twenty-five
years of age and of very )mey appearance.
Her parents, who reside at BranchdaIe,
arc respectable people, in comfortable
circumstances. Price iS young man also,

CONNECTICUT, state which has re
Gently developed some curiostes of
crime, has also some peculiar features of
criminal law. II seems that defendant
there in criminal case can elect to be
tried by two judges instead of jury 1;
and thelaw of the state also allows the
judges or the jury, as the case may be,
to return a verdict OF murder III the
second degree when, in their judgment,
the circumstantial evidence is less
strong than the testimony Of two eye
witnesses of the crime, AS a result it
has happened already that in two cases,
where II the defendant was guilty at all
he was unquestionably guilty of murder
Ia the first degree, verdicts of second
degree were rendered and the prisoners
escaped capital punishment, which, after
all, is what this phase Of the law is really
iatended to permit.

as this:

from Lancaster county, JudEO Livingston
having exhibited his pcruliar views oi tho
missions of public Journals by formally
requesting reporters present not

habeas corpus hearing IN

publication made citizens familiar VITA
the facts and consequently rendered II
difficult to secure humOcde luricS. In

Livingston IS greatly behind the age. The

newspaper Judge Livingston never did
like the newspapers any too well, put this
idea Of asking the reporters not 10 publish
the testimony taken AZ a hearing on habeas

mere personal entiplthy. The Judge did
not want the testimony printed because
the citizens of Lancaster would read It
aud would form an opinion as to the guilt

unit them all for services On the jury at
