INSANE MURDERERS.

The other day an insane man shot and
killed a worthy young man in this city
because he whistled. The murderer is
still at large, apparently sane enough
to elude his pursuers. Yet if captured it
is certain that the man could not be con-
victed. since he has long been known to
be mentally weak and irresponsible
This is telling an old, old story over
again. It happens nearly every day
somewhere in our common country, that
a murder is committed by some one
whom every one knew for a long time
to have been insane These incompe-
tent and irresponsible people are plen-
tiful, but they are seldom apprehended
until they have killed someone. Reason
able people ask each other, why is 1t
that this class of people are not looked
after until they do murder?"
IT is within the knowledge Of every
body that there are about them the
veak-rninded and insane who are free to
roam at large but whom every one ex-
poets at some time or other to do harm
to a fellow creature under the stimulus
of excitement, or more than usual ex-
cess of mental alteration. It Is replied
The record-union., 1896-07-19

to the demand that these people be Sc
questered, that they are not known to be
dangerous, and hence cannot under the
law be committed to an asylum; or they
are capable of self-support, and are not
so insane as to demand their incarcera.
ton, and therefore cannot be removed
from ordinary walks But this argues
that some one must be made a victim
in order to determine the dangerous
character of the insanity.
1t is submitted that this is illogical rea-
soning, and that it is too much to ask of
society that it shall furnish daily vic
tim to death when murder might be pre-
vented by taking care of the mental
imbecile before he develops a. homicidal
mania If the murderer who did poor
young Mitchell to death last week had
been apprehended for insanity long ago,
when every one in the community knew
him to be insane and more than fretful
if anyone whistled within his hearing,
young Mitchell would still be the sup
port Of his widowed mother.
Clearly we need to reform our methods
of apprehending cranks and insane peo-
pie. Since large proportion of them
do develop dangerous forms of insanity
and never grow better, or get well by
being left to roam at large, why would
1t not be an act of mercy to apprehend
them before they sacrifice to death?
This fellow appears to be sane enough
to escape, and shrewd enough to sue
cessfully elude his pursuers, though they
were on his track within five minutes
after he shot young Mitchell. Either
the fellow has done away with himself
or he is sane enough to be hanged, since
the man who can entertain the senti-
ment of fear and shrewdly elude search
by large body of peace officers, it
would seem should be held to be sane
enough to be accountable under the law.
Yet, as We have said, if Graves were
taken to-day, he could not be held for
murder, but would be committed to an
insane asylum, where he ought to have
been sent years ago.

The evident disposition of the Pop
ulists is not to indorse the Democratic
ticket and platform. The Democracy
declared for free silver redeemable the
Populists demand free silver irredeem-
able; the Democracy demand regula-
tion of corporations operating railroads
and telegraph lines; the Populists in
sist upon Government ownership; the
Democracy wants a modified tariff the
Populists are largely protectionists;
Mr.. Bryan was not an original DEM
ocrat; the Populists say he is a rene
sade from their ranks, and that they
made him what he is; Endorsement of
candidate and platform means aban-
dcnment of organization, whereas the
Populists believe that if their party is
t. become a great factor in American
politics it must retain the integrity OF
organization. All in all, it looks as if
the Popuhsts will not consent to be swal-
lowed by the party of obstruction and
insincerity

DAVIS CONVICTED.
The Jury Was Only Out Short Time
Before Agreeing,

The trial of Joe Davis for the robbery
of c. j. Brindupky was concluded in
Judge Hinkson's court yesterday, and
ended in a conviction.
Willie Glenn testified to seeing a
scuffie across the street and when Davis
and Donelly came over the former told
witness and Mcnamara that he had
50 30. They separated and asterward
met at the Third-street bridge, and
Davis treated to the beer.
Police Officer Fisher testified that
when Davis was arrested he had two So
pieces in his inside pair of pants, and
told conflicting stories about how he OBJ
tanned it. He denied at first that he was
on Front street, but afterward admitted
it. He also denied knowing Donelly or
Fatty Myers, but afterward admitted
that he did.
When Davis was put on the stand he
denied everything that was alleged
against him, but it was of no use, and
the jury was out only a short time be-
fore it brought in verdict of guilty.
He will be sentenced on Tuesday.
