There Is in existence to-day memorial

Tho Sawtelle Murder.

One Of the most extraordinary applica-
tions ever made to court Of justice in q
criminal case is to be heard before all the
Judges Of tho Supreme Court Of New
Hampshire at Concord. the capital Of that
State. on Monday next.
ISAAC B. SAwTELLE, who was convicted
in New Hampshire about year ago Of MUIR
der in the first degree for killing his broth
err. HIRAM SAwTELLE. is now under sem
tence OF death. the date of his execution be-
ing fixed for Jan. 5. 1892. The body Of the
slain brother was found in u piece of woods
in Maine. near tho boundary line between
that State and New Hampshire but the
jury who tried the prisoner were satisfied
from the evidence that the killing was done
in New Hampshire and that the body was
subsequently carried into Maine. The ex-
act locality In which the murder was COM
mitted became controlling question in the
case for two reasons. both vitallyafIecting
the prisoner: First. unless the fatal blow
was inflicted in New Hampshire. the courts
OF that State had no Jurisdiction to try the
prisoner at all: aud, secondly. IL the crime
was really committed in Maine. the defend
ant would in any event escape the death
penalty. as capital punishment has been
abolished in that State.
Upon the trial the defence was that
HIRAM SAwTELLE had been killed by some
one other than the prisoner. Now. when
the day Of execution is near at hand. the
defendant has admitted knowledge Of the
circumstances of the murder and finally
asserts that he himself is solely RESPONSE
BILE for his brothers death. He insists. how
ever that the killing occurred. not in New
Hampshire. but within the limits of the
State OF Maine. Upon affldavts to this
effect. the Supreme Court OF New Hamp-
shire will be asked to set aside the verdict
and grant the prisoner new trial. Prob
ably this Is the first case on record in
which murderer has ever asked court OF
law to set aside his conviction upon
his own confession that he caused the death
Of the person slain. Notwithstanding the
extraordinary nature Of the application.
however, we conceive that the determine
ton Of the court must depend upon the de-
gree OF oredibility which the Judges at
tach to the prisoners present statements
in regard to the commission OF the crime.
OF course he has every inducement that a
criminal can have who desires to prolong
his life, to swear falsely as to the locality
in which he killed his brother. II. however.
the court is satisfied as matter OF fact
that he tells the truth, and the homicide
really was committed in Maine and not in
New Hampshire. there would seem to be
no alternative under tho law except to set
aside the New Hampshire conviction and
allow the miserable wretch to be dealt with
by the tribunals OF Maine.

to which some years ago Gen. TURNER de-
MED the parentage Of single genuine ar

with representation OF trained and
recognized sulky men. which should
be sufficient to It's pride. The pub
lie interest sustaining trotting horses
Is now organized on thoroughly demo-
cratic basis. No man or animal absorbs It's
sentiment or is necessary to Its successful
perpetuation. Yet there is no other con-
spicuous warning against fraud besides the
Nelson sentence.
To take that away would be q direct
stimulus for the future to the same
sort Of business that produced 1t. aud
confession that lasting punishment on the
track Is played out It would be far better
for the organization which has to deal with
the case to 60 to the extreme OF uncom-
promising severity and hamper itself with
an unalterable verdict against not only such
offences as Nelson's. but against the Offend
ing horses stock, even to the third
and fourth generation. 1t is much too
difficult to punish fraud for punishments
finally established to be lightly or senti-
mentally removed.
