An Alabama Murder Gaze.

A year ago, in Alabama, Hinton Rice
was sentenced to twenty years in the
penitcntilry for the murder BY drown.
ing OF william Burrcll. A brother Of
Burrell swore that he saw Rice do the
deed. Tac dead man hes rc.anpeared
and tho law has its hands on him. OF
course the condemned man will DO SGT
free. No reason ia given for the diaap.
pearance Of Burrell. none for the per.
jury OF his brother.
Suppose Rice had been hanged for the
crimc-ihRt. OF course. would have been
tho end OF Rice. and the subsequent
proceedings would have interested him
no more. Would the Burrells have
been indictablc for his murder? 1t is
worry fortunate for Rice and for Ala.
bama that hanging was not the penalty
in this caao. for whom n mistake is made
At the ropes end there is no way to
make compensation.
Perhaps Alabama will not compen-
safe this man for treating him rs r muir.
derer and dopriving him for n year OF
his liberty, but in every such case there
should be n good round Indemnity.
