TWO SENSATIONAL MURDERS.

Whether sane or insane, MAXWELL. the
alleged murderer of PRELLER, shows more
discretion than did ARMSTRONG, the young
man who murdered HERRICK, his step
father, in Brooklyn the other day. The
victim was well-to-do citizen, and was
found murdered in his own house without
any special clue to the murderer being OBJ
tanned. He had a step-son with whom he
was in the habit of quarreling. A woman
saw some one leaving the house of HER
RICK on the day of the murder whom she
took to be ARMSTRONG, but was not posi-
tive about it. Upon these slight circum-
stances the young man was arrested. There
was no evidence against him beyond the
fact that he was shiftless and worthless
youth, was known to have previously quar-
relied with his step-father, and that some one
who resembled him in appearance was seen
going out of the yard on the day the murder
occurred. 1t was arguable on the circum-
stances that had been made known that
the crime was more likely to have been
committed in desperation by trapped bur-
glar than in quarrel by an inmate of the
house. ARMSTRONG has estopped people
from pursuing this line of argument and
has cleared up the mystery by confessing
that he committed the crime. The confess
sion was made to the detectives. 1t is now
a curious question whether the young man
can be convicted under the New York law
on his own confession. The detectives who
displayed so much skill and energy in secur-
ing his arrest no doubt talked
him into making a confession and
have thus probably Initiated the re-
suit of their efforts. The criminal
code of New York forbids the use on trial
of confession made under the influence
of fear produced by threats" 1t is con-
trary to the spirit of our American law that
detectives shall be permitted TO conduct an
inquisition of their own upon prisoner be-
fore he has had the advice of counsel. But
the New York law goes further. 1t says
that a confession shall not warrant a con-
viction without additional proof that the
crime charged has been committed" II
ARMsTRoNG's confession is ruled out it
will be impossible to convict him. If it is
admitted it is doubtful whether the addi-
tional proof of the crime can be adduced.
1t is to be hoped that MAXWELL will not
complicate his case or lessen his chances for
conviction by making confession. But
as the Missouri law does not strain
such fine points in protection of
criminals the effect of confession In st,
Louis might not be so disastrous to the
peace and dignity of the state as it would
in New York. As the evidence now stands
it would be a very poor prosecutor who
anrnlI a.4 Ia, n
WELL in Missouri court. MAXWELL is
shrewd enough to know that the insanity
dodge is not effectual any longer, and has
wisely concluded TO keep his counsels to
himself. lie prefers to let the state work
up the case against him, instead of doing it
himself.

MADRID, Aug. 17.-There have been
slight riots at LOgronO due to the resistance

ladolid. In the former place there were
yesterday II new cases and 80 deaths, and
IN the latter 81 new cases and 10 deaths.
The official returns show that in Granada
the disease has reached its height and re-
mains stationary. In Alberto yesterday
there were IS new cases and % deaths. In
Castellon de la Plana % new cases and II
deaths. In Cuenca 154 new cases and 80
deaths. In Tereu ii new cases and 80
deaths. In Valencia 50 new cases and 40
derths, and in Madrid 20 new cases and ,
