1t is seldom thata man charged with
crime gets SO many chances to establish,
if he can, reasonable doubt of his
guilt as has Carlyle w. Harris, whose
sentence of death Gov. Flower has just
refused to commute. From the start
Harris has had the benefit of plenty of
money and plenty of Influential friends.
The state ofNew York has been raked over
for testimony that, would raise doubt
that his wife's death was wholly the re-
suit of his act Heswas first tried by
jury and convicted. The case was then
reviewed by the Court of Appeals who
examined both the law and the facts and
unanimously approved the Judgment of
the lower court. Then Recorder Hackett
was appealed to to grant..a new trial on
the ground of newly discovered evidence
and an exhaustive investigation was made
of the alleged new evidence. A new trial
was refused on the ground that this new
evidence even admitting it to be true did
notraise doubt of the correctness of the
jury's verdict Then Gov. Flower was
appealed to and he appointed commits
sion to conduct another search for new
evidence. This commission was not con-
strained by the usual rules of evidence
but heard anything which bore even re-
motely upon the case. Yet neither the
commission nor Gov. Flower could find
anything in this last Investigation to
throw any doubt upon the correctness of
the jury's verdict. Practically Harris
has had four trials, by four different tri-
bunals, and the conclusions of all of them
is the same, namely, that he is guilty of
murder beyond a reasonable doubt.

The death of Miles F. Merrlck, an old resident of New Haven, who was buried in Evergreen cemetery yesterday, deserves more than passing mention. He had many friends and acquaintsnoes in this city and surrounding towns He was born In Ohio within few miles of the birth place of General James A. Garfield, on February II, 1929. His parents went to the Western Reserve some years before this. They returned to New Haven when Miles was three years old. He was the youngest of five children. His brother, Charles H. Merrick, who died In the state of Washington about three years ago, was an eminent physician and was at one time president of the Oregon State Medical so- ciety. The father of the family kept a grocery for several years at Chapel and Park streets. He died when Miles was nine years old. The boy received his edu- cation at the old Lsncssterian school, un- der charge of the we'll known John E. Lowell. He spent some years on farm, and after becoming carpenter and joiner built many of the residences in New Haven and it's vicinity. For the last twelve years he has been employed in the office of John W. Nichols, agent of the Mutual Life In surance company of New York. He leaves a son, and daughter, wife of Congress man Cummings of New York.
 MT. Merrick was of retiring nature, and an excellent neighbor. Genial, indus trious, and endearing in disposition, his loss will be felt not only by his family, but by host of friends and acquaintancss.

NiReteen-Year-OId Susie Layylor and Carl Glover Drowned in the Bran ford River-She Perished While Try. ing to Save Young Glover - Her Body was Taken ts Her Home In
 Fair Haven.
 BRANFoRD, Conn.,, July 13.-Miss Susie Lswior, aged nineteen, and Carl Glover, aged nine, son of Louis Glover, were drowned while in bathing in the Branford river just above here shortly before 8 o'clock this afternoon. The Glover boy got beyond his depth and was overcome by cramps. Miss Lswlor responded to his cries for help, and bravely hurried to his assistance and tried to bring him to shore. He clung to her desperately, however, and being hardly able to move both went down together in sight of several others who were gathered at the pool, which is favorite bathing place.
 There is quite a current in the river st this place, and although Miss Lswlor wa= an excellent swimmer, she could do noth- ing hampered az she was and both sank almost immediately. The children who were on the shore and who We're also pre- pairing to go into the water could only alarm sonae of ths men at the Branford Lock works near by, and before assistance arrived both Mis- Lawlor and tn. boy had disappeared for the last time

The young lady's body was found soon after, She was still alive but lived but few moments, breathing her last shortly before the arri- val of the doctor The boys body was carried down the river a short distance and was not found until after o'clock

The pool has been considered dangerous bathing place for some time, several drowning &C., cidents having occurred there.

Modern Criminaiiry.


 There are two forms of criminality, the l atsvlc and evolutIonal Atavic criminslity Is the return of certain individuals, whose physiological and psychological .constitu- ton Is morbid, to such means of the strug- glo for existence ss civilization has sup pressed, such as murder, robbery, etc. Now the natural forces which formerly i'm pelled men to battle in this sanguinsry manner have not entirely ceased to act up- on humanity; they still act, and excite men to certain antsgonisms, which occupy the entire life of almost humankind, excepting only those who, possessing superior nor al sense, refuse to become entaugled in self interested struggles. even if this course of action costs them some trouble. But the means of the struggle have changed through the influence of civilization; these were formerly force and violence; they are | to day fraud and astuteness.
 No one can deny that an immense num- Der of thefts are committed every day, of which the law takes no cognizsnce; that | human stupidity finds means of satisfying itself even if it does not employ the sword l and poissn, which sometimes makes one l wonder, with horror, if all human proeress is not menaced with failure. This is the transformation of savage criminality among civilized people. It Is to-day, un- fortuuately,s a normal condition of existence | that this battle of sstutsness has replaced | the war of the muscles. For as long as the present social conditions last. no human power will be able to prevent men from stealing from each other, just ss 1t is i'm possible to keep men living in state of barbsrous anarchy from killing each other From this point of view all modern hu- msnity Is imbued, to some extent, with evolutional crimInslity.
 Those, however, who really form that criminality, which I call evolutional are the men who endowed with & greater talent or favored by too prosperous fortune, push that battle of intrigue and deceit 10 a monstrous excess, which makes 1t too great danger to all modern society. These. in reality, only employ to great extent the means of enriching themselves that all the world uses on email scale; but their act ion, on account of the excessive develop ment which they give to the means of the struggle for existence, should be considered as abnormal and, therefore, punishable; while the same means, applied on small scale, are entirely normal, and, although our moral sense feels them unworthy, re- main unpunished for law would be pow erless and even unjust to ipjure them. Those who make use of the means that so- ciety has given them, without annoying the social life more than others, are evidently only using their rights But, for the great evolutionsl criminals,it will not do to trust too much to the effects of punishment; they are the product of our customs and | will always bs found so long as our cus- toms remain unchanged.

 Darwin gave 1t as his opinion that some of them can, and an{ndian botanist re- lates some curious incidents which tend to verify the belief. Observing one morning that the tendrils of convolvulus on his versnds had decidedly leaned over to- wards his leg ss he lay in an attitude of re- pose, he tried series of experiments with long pole, placing 1t in such a position that the leaves would have to turn away from the light in order to reach it. In every case he found that the tendrils eet themselves visibly towards the pole, and in a few hours had twined themselves closely around 1t.

Last evening some of the neigh bors discovered that the house was lighted up and thinking that burglars might be at work notified the police. Upon the arrival of the patrol wagons and an investigation having been made, it was ascertained that the supposed burglar was none other than MT. Sonnenberg himself, who had taken this opportunity to see that no injury had happened to his proper ty in his absence
