A Peculiar Case.

Judge Gildersleeve, New York i~dge,
had puzzling case before him, the other
day. The testimony showed that the de-
PENDANT, John Farrell, had assaulted a re-
spectacle citizen, and robbed him of his
watch. The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, and as it was grand larceny there
seemed to be no hope for the defendant.
the lowest penalty being five years imprison-
ment.
But the jalge regarded the case as an ex-
traordinary one. 1t was in evidence that
Farell's character was unblemshed and
that moment Before committing the crime
he had parted with his sweetheart at her
door, saying to her that he was going to
punish some loungers on the corner for the
insulting words they used when the couple
passed them. When Farrell went to the
men he was overcome by a spasm of excite
ment. and after his arrest he declared that
he was unconscious of what had occurred.
The judge weighed these points, and it
struck him that there was no motive for the
robbery. The young mans employers
stated that they had the fullest confidence
in him, and would take him back at an in
creased salary.
After considering all these matters, Judge
Gildersleeve boldly decided to suspend SEN
tence, and in the course OF his remarks he
said:
There is no explanation Of your conduct that
night except upon the theory that, heing intoxi.
Gated for about the first time i'll your life and under
apprehension that these young men whom YOU
passed while with the lady made some Insulting re-
mark, you became excited, and 10 letalilte and re-
sent the insult You attacked these PEOPLE, which
resulted in you getting hold Of this watch There
is other reasonable view ii to NE upon the
whole of this case. You were almost at the door of
this young lady whom you loved and with whom
you had kept company fora year and half You
needed no money and yen had 10 temptation to
rob. For these reasons shall take the eXtraordi-
nary course Of suspending Judgment, although YOU
have been convicted ct very grave crime the low
as Imprisonment for which is five years in state
prison The interests justice do not rec uire that
! should send you 10 state prison for five years for
this otense though you are legally guilty. on the
theory that possibly you were in such & condition
You could not form any intent aud the entire alb
sonee Of proof Of any motive, y3u might lie nc.
quilted; hat party is presumed to intend the con-
sequences Of lis act and even on chat theory il is
doubtful f yon would be acquitted. Keen sober
ana honest and YOU will outline this misfortune as
! 50 regari it.
Very likely this was the best as well rs
most merciful course to take but what be-
comes of the well-settled legal principle
that drunkenness is no excuse for crime
and that it agggavates the offense? There is
no way ont OF it, except 10 take the position
that there are exceptions to all general
rules, and that the Farrell case is one of
the exceptions. Undoubtedly It would have
been cruel and unjust under the clrcum-
stances, to pronounce the sentence pre-
sciued 10y the law. And yet tile precedent
opens a field for pulling conjec,ures and
specu.aticns.
