Don Augustine de Iturbide, and they

him to Mexico. He formally adopted
the boy and sent his parents back to
America Mr.. Seward was appealed
to and requested to demand the res
toration of the boy, and advised

ALegaI Definition of f"Infamous.'

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
There has been, ever since the estab
lishment of judiciary system in this
country, doubt as to the meaning of
the word infamous" in the first
clause OF Article Y. of the amendments
to the Constitution: person shall
be held to answer for a capital or
otherwise Infamous crime unless on
presentment or indictment OF a grand
Jury" Recently an opinion was gwen
by the supreme court on this point,
which, stripped of its excessive and
involved verbiage, seemed to decide
that an Infamous crime was one pun
ished by imprisonment. Not feeling sat
isfied with this interpretations District
Attorney Bliss yesterday asked Judge
Treat to define the supreme courts
definition. The Judge gave as his per-
sonal opinion from the bench that it
was not the intention OF the justices
to define as infamous infractions oithe
law those offenses which are punished
by fines and short terms of Imprisop
ment. His idea was, those crimes were
Infamous that might be clasSed in COM
mon law as felonies, or the punishment
for which is the same as that prescribed
for felonies. 1t was deemed unjust to
put upon man who has simply dis
obeyed n law through neglect and
carelessness the odium oftheclassitica
ton ofhis offense with infamous crimes,
though his punishment might be i'm
prisonment.

was shot and kille at the Polk Street
Depot, on the afternoon of the 31st,
by Louis Reaume, an insane passenger
on the 3:35 Wabash train. Reaume
was shot three times IN the back and
is not expected to recover. When
train 8 on the Wabash line left Kansas
City, Reaume was among the passen-
gers. He was constantly passing
through the train with a huge revolver
in his hand, saying that some persons
IN Denver We're trying to lynch him,
but that he intended to sell his life as
dearly as possible. Reaume wandered
through the cars while the train was in
motion, but whenever it made a stop
he would lock himself in the saloon
and gaze out Of the window with d
revolver in his hand At the outset
he also had a large knife, but the bag
gagemaster managed to borrow it and
did not give it back When FL Paso,
H., was reached the city marshal
started to arrest Reaume. The latter
fired two shots at him, which were re-
turned, but the marshal did
not persist in his attempt. There
were about twenty passengers
VINO had been riding IN the same
cara reclining-chair a1-with Reau-
ne At FL Paso, Reaume drove
them all out at the point Of his re-
volyer. Ar attempt was then made
TO cut off the rccllning-chair car from
the train, but Reaunc again presented
his gun and threatened to blow a hole
through anyone who touched his car
Reaume remained monarch OF all he
surveyed until he reached Chicago.
At ChenOa the conductor sent a tele-
gram ahead for ten or twelve police
men to arrest the man. The con-
ductor warned passengers not to 90
near the chair car, but Just as the
train was leaving Englewood, Ealen-
tine Spruck, q resident of that suburb,
jumped upon the platform OF Reaume's
car. The latter resented this trespass
upon his peculiar domain by firing a
shot, which grazed Mr.. Spruck's chin
and cut off one Of his coat buttons.
When the train approached Polk
Street Depot, Lieut.. Laughhn and
three officers in plain clothes were
waiting for it. Ten other officers In
uniform had also been detailed on the
same duty After a desperate fight,
