An interesting question is likely TO occur IN
connection with the prosecution of the wounded
confederate Of the two dead burglars concerned
in the recent Bedford Station outrage. Although
il is admitted that the shot which killed MI
Adams was fired by one Of the men. who has
already succumbed. YET it is Oh the cards that
the surviving burglar will he held criminally re-
sponsble for the unfortunate posimaster's death,
and indicted for murder in ne first degree. TO
those of our readers who may entertain doubts
to the possibility of convictlng man Oh the
capital charge who is admittedly not the actual
murderer would recommend the pcruSal Of
an interesting article published today. which
goes TO show. by means OF number Of notable
cases in the past. that the laws in this as well
as other States are 50 construed by The courts
IS TO render II easy TO convict Of the highest
degree Of murder any one concerned In a burg

Sound American principles have characterized
the noble work accomplished among the stricken
subjects of the Sultan in Asia Minor by Miss
Clara Barton and her associates Of the RED cross
Society, who sail this week from Liverpool Tor
home In expending some $120OOO in relieving
a distress such rs can only exist in the orient.
among Christians and MaEome,ans alike. Miss
Barton has endeavored 10 put those to whom
she brought succOr in tue way Of helping thehl-
selves to become once more self-supportlng. anu
the assistance has taken the form rather of sup
plies seed tools and implements OF trade ana
agriculture Of money. In this way every
dollar expended in charity has counted double
in practical results Under the circumstances.
il is not surprising that the work of the Amerl-
can Red Cross Society in Turkey should have
excited widespread admiration in the Old World.
