THE suicide of Judge Richard Reid, of
Mount Sterling KY, the man so brutally and
causelessly assaulted by Attorney Corneilson,
a few weeks ago, is tragic termination of a
life signalized by honorable conduct toward
all men and Christian quality that marked
him as an admirable citizen. How far the
dastardly assault went toward bringing about
the madness of this man will never be known,
but it appears to have weighed upon
him heavily, and he manifested
the greatest Encouragement during
the past few weeks of his canvass. Unfor-
tunately for him and his doubly stricken
family, Judge Reid lived in State where it
is expected of man who is assaulted how
ever causelessly, to wipe out the disgrace"
in blood. For years the sentiment has OBJ
tanned in Kentucky that murder must follow
personal assault, and upon the mind Of this
unfortunate man this feeling must have
weighed with constantly increasing heaviness.
With heroic forbearance Judge Reid under

abide by the law rather than become
law unto himself But the burden
was too great for him, and with a brief, inco-
herent message of a dozen words to those he
loved, he sent bullet through his brain and
died. Had he sought out and taken the life
of his assailant he would have been Honized,
and his election would have been sure beyond
question. AS 1t was, he had good reason to
feel that his life was under a shadow in the
eyes of those about him, though his conscious
ness must have told him that he was right.
