But Ii II n Crime

which the vast majority of mankind will
be quick TO cOndone. For the sake of the
boy himself, rather than the slain murder
er, il is 10 be wished that he could have
risen TO that higher moral plane, which
would have ignored the existence OF the as
sassin on earth. But few men of human
mould could reach that elevation, though
some might cloak faint heart under its
assumption. With the memory OF kind
and honorable father murdered in the
attempt to protect his daughters honor;
seeing that sisters virtue most foully
attacked; with his mothers grief before
his eyes and the daily sight Of the assassin
set free by q trayesty upon justice, young
Mutt takes upon himself the office of re-
yepge and kills the murderer of his father
and the destroyer of his family's happi-
ness. Good men may deplore the act; but
the few who condemn it will be well nigh
devoid of human sympathy.

opposite where Dukes was shot. When in
terrogated as to whether they were jubi-
lating over the death OF Dukes, they re-
piled that it was usual sum-
mer night concert, and shortly after
retired 10 their room. Public sentiment is
strongly in favor of Mutt. There are a
few exceptions, however, to be found
among certain clique who are afraid to
express themselves. Messages have
been pouring in all day long
from all sections rendering sympathy to
the Mutt family and Offering peCuniary
assistance to be used for the defense. IN
Pittsburgh public subscription has been
started for the same purpose.

ALTOONA, Pa, June l4.-The news OF the
killing of Dukes was widely disseminated
in this CITY last night. The feeling of the
community is one of sympathy for youag
Mutt, and the Times viii io-dsy editorislly
ask for his acluittal, not on the ground of
iustifable homicide, but because the
wrongs his family has suffered has unset
tied his mind. The plea Of insanity can
be used in his case with much better grace
than in the ordinary run of cases in which
this defense is set up.
