MISSOURI a E


The supreme court, Division No. 3,
handed down, a few days ago, a ruiz
ing of Importance, in the Ease of State
vs.. Lane, relating to the right of an
officer to kill q prisoner while the lat
ter il resisting arrest. The court
holds hat "where persons having aur
thority to arrest or imprison OF 9TH
erwise to advance or execute the pub
lie justice of the state, and using the
proper means for that purpose, are
resisted in so doing, and the party re-
sisting is killed in the struggle, such
homicide is justiflable. "An officer in
making an arrest should use no I'M
necessary violence; but, it being his
duty to make the arrest, the law
clothes him with the power to accom-
plish that result. His duty is to over
come all resistance and bring the par
ty to be arrested under physical re-
straint, and the means he may use
must be coextensive with his duty"
But it is held that, whether the off,
Ger has used unnecessary or unrea-
sonable means or force is n question
of fact for the jury to determine, I'M
der proper instructions from the
court. The defendant, Lane, was a
night marshal of the town of Maiden,
in Dunklin county, and in the attempt
to subject one James McGregor to
physical restraint, struck the latter a
severe blow with a pistol, fracturing
the prisoners skull and ultimately
causing death. The jury brought in q
verdict of guilty of manslaughter in
the third degree, and Lane vas SEN
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary. The Judgment of the circuit
court is affirmed.
