Mellow verdict he said: "Our city, so long

extended and outspoken public sentiment.r
AT GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
At Grace Episcopal church, the fashion,
able church Of the city, Rev. DIR. Charles
Catesworth Pinckney, who is frs vice pres
ident OF the national society of the Cincin-
natl, preached from Gan. tx, 5, 6: "Whoso
sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed.n He said:
"Llfe is FAR too cheap in our land. It is
sacrificed with rocklessne which would
not be tolerated in En- gland or any other
civilized land where Gods law is known.
The result OF the recent trial in this city
seems TO fall very far short of any censure
of homicide. II has failed to condemn crime.
to vindioato Gods law, or to protect
human life against the murderous pistol.
That human life has been taken by vio-
lence Is an acknowledged fact. and the tri-
bunals of justice have no word of ceasure
for the deed. The slayer is restored to his
place without condemnation cf any sort.
without fine, imprisonment or any legal
disapproval OF the wrong.
Murder pollutes the land beyond all other
evil deeds, and leaves al indslible stain in
Gods sight. Nor can this blood stain be-
obliterated until it be washed out with
the blood OF hin that shed it,
Mercy 10 the murderer is cruelty to
the community. Every deed OF violence,
whether murder, manslaughter or mob
law, becomes the seed Of future crime, un-
less repressed by the majesty of the laws.n
Mellow will, tomorrow, be discussed by
the Washingtol Light Infantry, the elite
military company Of the city, Of which he
is a member He will probably be expelled.
