! he prosecute the criminals. He wanted
his child back again. Under this prom
Use of immunity from punishment, the
kidnapers restored the boy and re-
ceived $4,000.
Now. however, higher power than
Mr.. Beals comes forward aud asserts
its authority. The higher power is the
state, 1t is the duty Of the state, in
behalf of the society of which it is the
creature and the protector, to punish
crime. The act OF the kidnapers wa a
public crime. The state, therefore,
takes up the matter where Mr.. Beals
left oil, and proposes to send the Grim
inals to the penitentiary. 1t is not
bound by any such pledge as Mr.. Beals
gave, and can act without regard to
any such restriction The man and
woman who did the kidnapping are I'M
der arrest. Mr.. Beals is called upon
to testify that these are the persons to
whom he paid the ransom. He pleads
that he is bound in honor not to testify,
because OF his promise. The law re-
plies that it recognizes no such prom
ises as binding, He will be summoned
p a witness by the state, and when
certain questions are put to him he
will have to answer them or go to jail
for contempt, or he may even be az
rested and prosecuted himself as an
accomplice for trying to shield the
criminals. Under such compulsion,
Mr.. BeaIs can hardly have Gn excuse
to keep his lips sealed. and he will have
10 testify. In this he viii violate his
promise: bat is there anyJhing in NOR
ais that can bind one to respect an OBJ
legation that is illegal and opposed to
the public welfare?
We think not. To establish such a
principle is to guaranty immunity from
crime. The burglar, holding pistol
at The head Of his victim, can exact a
pledge that he will not be prosecuted
ict his burglary. There is no more du-
ress n the eXaction of such promise
than in tie case OF Mr.. Beals: for the
father vii give as much TO secure the
safety of his child as he would to secure
his own safety. To let these Kansas
City kidnapers go free for want OF the
only evidence that can convict them
would invite a host OF imitators all over
the country. and no man with wealth
enough % pay ransom could consider
his famiv safe. Mr. BeaIs will have
to testify and break up the business of
stealing children ior ransom.
