A CONDEMNED VERDICT.
The Incompreheusiblencss Of the Aver
age Jury.

Inc lhcOmpTenensibIeneS OF the Aver.
age Jury.
Seldom has a verdict rendered by a
Jury been the subject of so much ad-
verse criticism as has that of murder
in the second degree in the case of Hen
bricks, charged with the murder of
Barney Reick. II the jury had ac-
quilted the defendant there might have
been disappointment, but in any event
public sentiment would have said the
jury Thought there was a doubt of guilt
and gave the prisoner the benefit Of 1t.
Such a. verdict could have been de-
Tended. Had a verdict of murder in the
first degree been rendered 1t could
have been Justified by the evidence.
There could not possibly have existed
in this case the elements or conditions
that constitute murder in the second
degree. Such a verdict Is indefensible.
Barney Reick was lured from his
home, led to a secluded spot for the pur-
pose of robbing him. He was struck
a murderous blow and killed. Hen
bricks and three others were charged
with the murder. 1t was deliberate,
cold-blooded, cowardly murder. When
the Jurors retired ten of them were con-
vinced that a verdict of murder in the
first degree had been established. Two
were in favor of acquittal. After a
few hours a compromise on murder in
the second degree was reached. Under
the circumstances such a verdict Is ut
terly indefensible. James Hendricks Is
either guilty of murder in the first de-
gree or he Is an innocent man.
Deplorable as such miscarriages Of
justice are and they are altogether too
frequent, they supply am overwhelming
argument in favor Of a change in our
jury system that will permit three
fourths Of the jurors to render a ver-
dict. In almost every instance where
such a travesty upon justice occurs 1t
Is due to one or two men on the jury,
and too frequently the actuating mo-
tive of the dissenters is only too ap-
parent. a.,
Unsatisfactory and indefensible as
this compromise verdict is, 1t neverthe-
less vindicates the action Of the county
commissioners In employing detectives
to ferret out the perpetrators of the
bloody crime. Morever, this verdict
vindicates the Barring and McSweemey
detective agency in the management Of
the case. BY their verdict the jury de-
clare that the evidence secured by the
Barring agency established the fact
pant in the murder of Barney Reick.
That was all the detectives could be ex-
pocted to do. II the jurors failed in

Broke His wheel.

On Wednesday evening about IL
O'Clock as young man was riding
down Franklin street on his bicycle at
a pretty rapid speed his wheel went
into one of the numerous holes in the
asphalt. precipitating him TO the pave,
severely injuring one of his legs, be-
sides breaking his wheel. He is seri-
ously considering the question of bring
ing a suit for damages against the city.
It would seem that the least the au-
thorities should do is to level up those
holes in some way. even If it be done
only by filing them with ashes or fine
cinders. There is not much doubt that
damages could be recovered for in

their duty the responsibility rests not
upon any one but themselves. The
Barring and McSweeney agency stands
justified and indicated just as fully
as though a verdict of murder in the
first degree had been rendered. The
county commissioners are vindicated In
employing this agency to bring the
murderers to justice after lapse of fif-
teen months of failure by the ordinary
means. Hendricks has escaped the
