A Remarkable Case.

A number of gentlemen were yester-
day discussing the merits of the Neal
and Rankin murder cases and the posi-
bility OF their acquittal or conviction.
Parallel cases were cited in which re-
markable verdicts had been rendered.
One speaker mentioned a case in Mis-
souri, that was certainly remarkable, but,
nevertheless, true. 1t was the trial of
Jesse Offield for the murder of Newton
Eads. The trial was in the Livingston
circuit court, with Judge Z. A Broadus,
former Kentuckian, presiding. Offield
was indicted for murder in the first de-
gree, tried, and the jury found that he
was guilty only in the second degree.
The court ruled that the verdict of muir
der in the second degree could not be re-
turned in a trial where the Indictment
was for murder in the first degree. The
verdict was therefore set aside and the
prisoner indicted for murder in the second
degree.
At the succeeding of term court he was
tried under the indictment by an entirely
new jury. The jury found him guilty Of
murder in the first degree. The court
rnled that the jury must not return a YER
dict for a greater crime than that charged
in the Indictment, and as he had once
been tried and found not guilty of murder
in the first degree he could not be ar
raigned for the same ofense the second
time; therefore the jury must either re-
turn verdict of guilty in the second de-
gree or acquittal The evidence could
not warrant verdict in the second de-
gree, and the criminal, although proven
guilty Of murder in the first degree, was
set at liberty.
This was remarkable case, and called
for some valuable amendments to the
criminal laws of the State. 1t was case
where the letter of the law set at liberty
man, because he was murderer

1t was a girl fresh from boarding school
who asked as the other day, "Why is it
that two souls mated in the impenetrable
mystery OF their nativity, float by each
other on the ocean currents of existence
without being instictively drawn together,
blended and beautified in the assimulated
alembic of eternal love-" This is an
easy one. 1t is because ranch butter is
worth As cents pound and good seal
skin sacque costs as high as $500. The
necessaries OF life must experience fall
in price before two souls will readily
blend in the assimulated alembic, and SO
forth. Ed.
