THE CINCINNATI RIOT

SANNANNAA1 Il.
cincinnati was IN the hands of mob
last Saturday and Sunday, and a great
loss OF life and property occurred. And
IL was on account of a murderer being
sent to the penitentiary instead of being
hung. 1t seems almost incredible that
the people would rise up and become
law breakers in the attempt to enforce
laws; but the case in point was an in
stance of it.
IL appears that murders have been of
frequent occurrence i'm Cincinnati for q
long time, and that few of the murder
ers have paid the penalty for their
crimes. The Jail there Contained no less
than twenty persons charged with muir
der, and there did not appear any prob
ability that any of these criminals wonld
mount the scaffold. The LAWYERS. the
courts and the officers appeared to he
IN league to prevent justice being done /;
Jurles were packed or bought after they
were lmpaneled, and convictions were
getting to be rare occurrences. The
people viewed this state of affairs. and
protested. The devices of the shysters
prospered. The courts insisted on MOTTO
ing technicalities, and it appeared that
no crime that could be committed
would warrant hanging the criminal.
The straw that broke the camel's hack
was put on last week. A young man
named Berner confessed that without
provocation he killed an inoffensiye cit
l.en' Tor money he even related the
slcKening details of the murder. and
.neSe were published. When placed on
Iriai jury found he was only guilty of
manslaughter, and assessed his punish.

Oh iyncning them. The jurors escaped
% tneir homes by back alleys and under
cover OF darkness. Two of the twelve

an Indignation meeting was held at
a prominent public hall. By resolution

part in this meeting, and all would have
been well had not the rabble taken
/ hand.
Hungry for blood, for excitement, for
destruction, the commune arose. A
movement started by cool-headed men
was taken from their hands, and a mob
got in the saddle and pushed things. 1t
started to the jail with the intention of
securing all the murderers locked up
there, and these were to be hung or
murdered at once. That would be a
quick way Of dealing out Justice,
thought the mob. But the TAILOR and
his guards repulsed the frst attack.
This was misfortune to both sides. as
the sequel will show.
Now thoroughly maddened the mob
attacked the jail and the adjoining
court house /; it poured barrels of coal
oil into the latter, and set it on fire.
Firemen and militiamen were shot
down when they attempted to subdue
the flames. In turn the soldiers fired
into the mob, and dozens dropped down
dead or badly wounded. This was Sat
urday night. Until Sunday morning
this riot was kept up. The magnificent
court house was burned up the next
finest law library in the country was re-
duced to ashes million dollars loss
to the county occurred.
Troops were sent in from the capital
ofthe state; the entire city soldiery was
put in arms, and yet the mob was only
temporarily dispersed. 1t was bent on
having the murderers the law would rot
punish, and it would shoot down all
who opposed this means of executing
justice.
Sunday the mob remained quiet until
night, when it again attacked the Jail
and was repulsed by the militia. A gat-
Ting gun was used to clear the street,
and many more were wounded.
The number of persons killed in the
riot is at least fifty, and those wounded
will number more than two hundred.
And all this blood-shed on account of
the courts failing to administer justice.
Paris, the city of riots, never knew a
mob that was formed for such a pur-
pose. The commune has heretofore
formed to demand bread, not the blood
of its own members. Riots and strikes
in this country have heretofore been for
increased wages or shorter working
hours, not for the purpose of enforcing
law or rather frowning at it not being
enforced. But now we have the mob in
new role, demanding that the jails be
emptied clamoring for the conviction
and execution of murderers advocat-
ing the doctrine of ian eye for an eve,
and a tooth for tooth" Where will
this end, if it becomes popular for mobs
to decimate the population of jails {!
And after all will not the Cincinnati
riot have a good effect on criminal
courts everywhere, and will it not stop
much shystering, packing juries and of
fetal rascality? If it does the country
can rejoice that the Cincinnati riot oc-
Cured.

Chief Justice Marshall.

The statue of the late Chief
Justice Marshall was unveiled at
Washington in the presence of the
Supreme Court and both Houses
of Congress. This tribute to one
Of the most illustrious citizens of
the first half of this century is a
rather tardy act of justice to his
memory. John Marshall was born
In Virginia, Sept. "a, 1865, served
in the revolutionary war, studied
law in 1881, and in the following
year was elected to tho Virginia
Legislature, in which body he
served until 1893. In 1907 he was
United States ambassador to
France, in 1899 member of Con-
gress, in 1900 he became Secreta-
ry of State, and on Jan. 81, 1901,
was appointed Chief Justice Of
the United States, which Office he
held until his death In 1885. Mar
shall was considered one of the
most eminent jurists of his time.
His reports, filing thirty volumes,
form q work which becomes more
valued with time. Judge Story
said of Marshall that "the Consti-
tuition, since its adoption, owes
more to him than to any other SIM
gle mind for its true interpreta-
ton and vindication." Such q
man deserves to be immortalized
in bronze and marble.

two categories-the first called

within a given time-tbat is, the
period of the incubation of the
rabid virus with which they are
totally inoculated; the second are
merely subjected to rabid vaccin-
alton. The comparison between
the effects of natural virus and
the same in an attenuated form is
thus easily established. Some of
the dogs succumb and others es-

A Terrible Scourge.
Death Of the Last Of -Four Generations Of
Maniacs.

v -
In the potter's field of Erie
county was recently buried the
last Of o race Of mad people whose
inherited insanity has been a
scourge for nearly half q century.
The cause which brought this hor.
rible inHiction upon four genera
tions was a fearful crime commit.
ted BY DR.. Risk in the presence OF
his married daughter fifty years
ago. The dreadful sight bereft
the lady OF her reason, and her
child came into the world with a
diseased brain that manifested It.
self most fearfully in after life.
An unbroken limo of maniacs fol.
lowed. Four years ago another
child was born In the family,
greatly disappointing those who
had hoped that the woman buried
yesterday was the last of tho race.
For years before the child was
born the mother bad been inti-
mate In the county madhouse, but
on June day she effected her es.
cape, aud IN wandering through
tho country was met by gang of
tramps, who, taking advantage Of
her mental condition, kept her
with them several days. She was
found a week later In almost a dy
Ing condition, and her child was
born the following March. Two
years later 1t died, to the great re-
lief Of the authorities. The crime
committed by DR.. Risk was mur-
der. He was a physician Of some
prominence. aud his victim, John
Fenno, was person Of violent
temper. Fenno called on the doc
tor aud requested permission to
stay all night, which was granted.
He was missed the next day, and
week later his disfgured corpse
was dragged out Of a swamp at
the back of the Risk homestead.
Blood.stains were discovered on
the floor, and DR.. Risk being ar
rested, confessed to killing Fen
no, claiming that It was done in
self.defenhe. High words having
arisen, aud, eliminating in blows,
the doctor took down his gun and
blew out Fenno's brains, crushing
the skull afterwards with the butt
of the weapon. His sons wife
being present when the deed was
committed, lost her reason from
the shock o few hours after it's
commission.
