How the South Looks ON tAs Despoiler Of
the Domestic Hearth.
The introduction of bill in the Ala
bama Legislature few days ago which
in effoct aims to license any man to kill
the despoiler of his feminine relative
calls attention to the attitude of the
south OH this subject in way which
cannot fail to attract attention through
out the north.
South Carolina has no divorco law.
1t is impossible to secure Legal sepa-
ration in that state, even for 5iblical
reasons. A husband whose he q is des-
ecrated has no recourse exec { personal
violence Public sentime.s sanctions
the slaughter of his dor Jstic foe, and
there is no instance ON record in which
a man who has committed homicide un-
der such circumstances has been held to
account in the courts.
In Alabama and other southern states,
however. divorces are granted. When
ever a citizen kills man who has desc
Grated his home, it is the invariable
custom to 60 through the farce of a
trial, which always acquits the slay-
er. To do this jurors are compelled to
violate their oath ''to bring in verdict
according to law" In the interest of
the jury the new Alabama bill has been
introduced.
Not long ago Mississippi husband
who had shot man for an offense
against the moral code entered plea of
guilty. The jury brought in verdict
of acquittal and added, "We also find
that the prisoner at the bar pleaded
guilty by mistake and without knowl-
edge of ell the facts III the case. Chi
