The opinion of Judge Krobs Of Clcarticld
county, has been printed in the case OF
Patrick w. Norton, the man who, it will be
remembered,w was kidnapped from New Yorl;
and brought into this state to answer serious
chaTge7' His release was demanded not
because OF his innocence Of the charges
against him, but because he had been impro-
perIy ana mIawfully apprehonded The
case was novel one and the exercise Of dis.
cretion was vested entirely in Judge Krcbs
In directing the prisoners release the Judge
fortified his action with a characteristic, clear
and strong opinion, which sets forth very
lucidly that no good exposition Of the law
can Justify doing even the right thing in tho
wrong way.

With glances kind and their arms entwined,
Came up the stairs together.
They gazed awhile with thoughtful smile,
At the crouching form before them.
With clinging holds they grasped It's folds,
And out Of the darkness bore them.
They healed It's sears, they found its stars,
And brought them ell together.
