1t likely that Mr.. Jacob Feitig Will be
relieved of any suspicion regarding the
death Of Rossdcitcher.
His arrest at midnight in connection
with the bclated discovery Of the alleged
murder of the peddlcr, MoX Rossdeitcher'
was thought by many persons TO be Just
little too melo-dramatic to impress unprej-
udiced persons.
The TIMES recognized the unpleasant
ness Of Mr.. Feitig's situation, and gave him
the first opportunity 10 clear himself OF any
suspicion. His many friends came TO his
relief. and the untenahle character Of the
evidence. supposed 10 be against him, has
been demonstrated daily ever since MS
meodramatic arrest.
II is bad policy for any body 10 convict
man before ne has been tried.
