Early one morning this week a New York
policeman shot and killed a boy whom he
saw crawling out OF a saloon window. The
incident was of the sensational sort, in
which the pictorial papers revel. and they
promptly proceeded to illustrate it. The
item itself. being one of few though tragic
incidents, was not capable. even in the
hands of the most gifted space writer. of
filling more than half a column. and in
some papers it was condensed into a dozen
lines. But the pictures were big and start
ling. Portraits of the policeman and of
the boy who was killed were
given. Of course, and also a rep
resentation of the killing. The seeker
after blood-curdling sensation could have
his tastes gratifed by inspection of any or
all of these pictures, but one in search of
truth must necessarily suffer bewilder-
ment, for, strange TO say, no two of the
pictures bore the slightest resemblance to
each other. In the Press the officer and
IA 10 va thO uCdu
run, and nearly half a block apart, their
course being at right angles to the ele-
waited railway. According to the Journal,
the offlcer was so close TO the unfortunate
youth that the latter must have been pow
der-burned by the SHOT. and no elevated
road was in sight. The World shows the
youth lying at the foot of an IL" pillar
and the policeman coming from a direction
exactly opposite to hat shown in the
Press. 1t Is all very amusing to the accu-
racy-loving mind. One who is fond of
studying pictorial Illustrations of murder
must necessarily prefer to lave the exact
situation shown, and it is obvious that at
least two out of the three described must
have been incorrect, and there is no reason
TO suppose that the other half-dozen illus
trated papers in New York were nearer the
ruth; at least, there is NJ means of know
ing which of them all had an artist on the
spot at . O'Clock in the morning and caught
a snap shot Of the murderer in action.
There ought to be some way to prevent
this variation. If we must have art in
the daily press IL would be less conducive
to lunacy among the patrons of such
papers If it were not of the impressionist
variety.
