From the Washington Star
The Court OF Appeals. through Justice
Morris, on Monday pronounced a most
wholesome doctrlne OF criminal law IN
passing on murder case that involved
the question OF how far = crime may be
excused. because Of the intoxlcatlon Of the
defendant. There Is a perverted sense OF
charity Ia son quarters that pleads for
msrcy for man who robs, shoots, cuts,
assaults or otherwise Cffsuds while
dunk. 10 Is urged that the drink habit
Is a disease that the Influence OF strong
liquor is to make man an irresponsible
agent, and therefore that intoxlcation
must In criminal matters be likened 10
Insanity and must be extended quite the
same as a palllstlon Of the offence This
doctrine is plainly dangerous, tending at
once to Increase both drunkenness and
crime. IL has obtained cartsin
vogue Ia some Of the lover courts. ana
this, II Is urged, has spread a belief
among the criminal classes that liquor is
regarded by the law as an excuse for Ell
sorts Of ohenses The holding by the
Court Of Appeals Is OF such force and ex-
pressed with so mush certainty that &c
should be spread abroad as widely
as possible 10 oheek the unfortu
nate tendency that all too plainly exists.
Justice Norris. In upholiing the action
Of the court below said I'VE hold en-
phatieslly as the law Of the District Of
Columbia that voluntary intoxlcstion Is
neither an excuse nor palllatlon for
crime. Voluntary intoxloation IL itself q
crime, a. least Ia morals. II not always Ia
Law. IL Is always at least vice. And

morals II the commission OF one vice or
crime could be permitted to operate as an
