But 1t Was Emphatioally Endorsed by the
- Spectators.
81 heard the late Judge John R.
Grace of the court. Of appeals of Ken
lucky set aside the verdict of a jury
once under circumstances that to my
mind did him infinite credit. = said Rep
resentative John S. Rhea of that state
to a Washington Post representative. -
= 1T seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge Of starvation and who
was the sole. support of four little chill
dren, went into a neighbours smoke
house and purloined piece of bacon.
{ The proof was positive, and the jury
reluctantly returned verdict of guilty.
When the finding Of the jury was read,
Judge Grace, who at that time presided
over the Fourteenth judicial district,
rising to his feet, said in the most en-
phatic tones:
THE court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and i want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman is on trial for steal
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require Is men
to convict her Of the crime in this court.
The defendant is discharged from Gus
tody.' .z.ts$ , ..5.z. 81. 81 sS 4
The announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators, and
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had acted not only as be6tted a
chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent
babes from perishing Of hunger can
scarcely be called crime. . - Il ...s
