THE so-called confession OF Max
well, charged with the murder of his
friend Preller in ST. Louis some
months ago, which was wired over
the country yesterday is one OF the
most remarkable documents ever
penned in criminal case. 1t goes to
show upon what slender grounds
lawyers may base their hopes of saw
ing criminal by means OF the rea-
sonable doubt. When Maxwell
counsel have shown the absence OF
motive for the commission OF the
crime and fortify the other defences
of the case by admitting the killing in
the manner which Maxwell does in
his published statement, it will Ie-
quire intelligence and courage not
characteristic of the average jueor to
nnd verdict OF murder against the
prisoner. Then, too, the principal
difficulty in the meeting out OF justice
in cases of the kind, where the atroci-
ty OF the crime and the publicity
given it by the press, make every
reading man acquainted with the
facts, is in securing a jury with SUI
iicient intelligence to understand the
evidence and to find from it the facts.
An opinion formed or expressed by u
person eligible to jury duty should
not disqualiiy him to act, but on the
contrary should be an index of the
requisite degree OF good sense neces.
sary to fairly discriminate between
right and wrong.

,JENkINsoNIAN journalism has
reached pretty pass when every cir
cumstance attending an approaching
marriage in high official life is being
discussed, from the exact shade OF
the prospective brides eyes to poems
in ivory satin with which the charm
ing wearcr will fascina'e her silent
lord; and yet, Notwithstanding every
effort, no expression Of acknowledge
ment can be extracted from him who
is one OF the two interested parties.
While conceding the correctness OF
the principle claimed by the Presi-
dent, that his marriage is a matter
personal to himself, nothing is OF
more interest to social America than
the bachelor President OF her great
est Republic becoming BenedicS.
Ii avoidance of newspaper comment
were the object OF his refusal to talk
it had been u furtherance OF his pur-
pose had he acknowledged at once
the interesting truth. Be the fact
one way or another, next month, a
warm one by the way, will reveal the
secret.

SALINAS, CAL, May l9.-Reports have
been received here of the shooting oil
two men while an attempt to rob them
was being made. Three Englishmen,
brothers, apparently on the lookout for
land, camped out ON the Salinas river
last evening. During the night they
were awakened by some one shooting at
them. Two OF the Englishmen were
wounded and 1t is reported that one has
since died, while the other is fatally
wounded. The uninjured brother by
running out of the tent scared the par
ties doing the shooting. He claims that
he recognized by his voice one OF them
as being one OF two strangers who had
accompanied them during part of their
Journey from San Luis Obispo to Sol
edad. Officers are now in pursuit.
