The trial Of Burt Webster. formerly a member
of that precious crew Of rascals. the Guttrnonrg
gang. is set down for Tues lay next. Webster
took mans life in circumstances somewhat
similar to those of The Darwin J. Mescrole case in
BROOKLYN. In each ease there was quarrel about
a woman and in each case an unarmcd man was
shot down. Webster. however, has not initiated
Mcserolcs example in making hypocritiea adj
dresses to his fellow prisoners. jury of si'kly
and musky scntimcntalists acquitted Mescrole. We
shall see in "A few days what New-lork Jury
will do with Webster. our District Attorney :
