The Case Of Payne strahan Moore

There seem to be some very painfui
features about the prosecution OF the
young woman, Fayne Strahan Moore, VINO
is accused of c~onspiring with her nus
band to rob foolish and vicious men. Inc
woman is certainly bad, and under or
binary circumstances would not be the
object of any sympathy whatever. II the
laws were any way reasonable. she would
M doubt be convicted and severely pun
ished with great ease and promptitude II
iuries were not deferred from convicting
her by the horrible cruelty of the sentence
which a crank judge like Recorder doh
might impose upon h~er-anything from
ten TO twenty years Imprisonment. Tit
inter abomination of subjecting her to
such a fate as this, a fate far worse thar
death. prevented a conviction on her hrst
trial. and will probably make it Impossible
to convict her at all.
Somebody, however, appears to be de-
termined to get square with her as far as
possible. The District Attorneys once
appears to be using and abusing every
power that the law allows it to infiict the
greatest possible punishment on her be-
fore conviction. Thus her release on bail
bas been opposed with inexplicable viru-
lence. The figure HAS been set so hlgh
that it has been difficult to find a ponds
man. and when the woman's mother pro-
vided one, General Gardiner refused to
accept him for no reason that anyone can
discern. Meantime General Gardiner and
his assistants keep up a bulldozing style
of talk which is evidently designed to
terrorize the accused woman, and which
must certainly cause her acute mental
suffering.
The vindictiyeness of the entire prosecu-
ton suggests a personal aniinus behind
it. Can it be that some Influential New
York politician has a .grudge against the
prisoner, and is taking advantage of her
present predicament to secure revenge.
We nave all heard of such things.

The Engineers and the Line in the
Navy.

One Arthur Warren, in the Engineering
Magazine for January, repeats the
ISLANDERS that the engines of the warships
of Santiago were ~uncoupled when Ger
yera's fleet came out on the morning OF
July 8. This stupid and silly misrepre-
sentation has been amply answered. The
event indeed was answer enough in itself.
The engines were partially u~ncoupled,
as they always are under similar circum-
stances, to save the machinery from I'M
necessary jar and strain. The expression
does not mean that they were not in
running order, but merely hat they were
not in shape to develop their highest
speed. They were quite ready, however,
to develop all the speed necessary to over
haul the Spanish ships, and they did so.
Mr. Warren's article is a stupid effort
to bolster up the claim of the engineer
force to hold rank on ships of
war. This is an absurdity, which should
have no claim on the public attention
after the experiences of the recent
struggles. The true solution of the pres
emit anomalies of the service is the prac-
teal abolition of the Engineer corps by
merging it in the Line. As a matter OF
fact, every Naval officer is a skilled engi-
neer. AS a matter of fact, the Naval
officers run far more of the machinery of
our great ships than the Engineers do. 1t
is not generally known to the public that
the Engineers run only the motive power
Of the Enthusiastically nothing else. All
the machinery of the ~turrets, hosting and
steering apparatus and the electric in
sta1lation are in sole and entire charge of
the Naval officers.
In a word, If all the Engineer officers in
4 modern ship were lost, it would not
matter one iota in the working of the
ship. But 1T would be a pretty serious
AFFAIR If her line officers were swept away.
