THE MOLTNEUX MIsrRIaE.

The granting of new trial to Roland
B. Molineux is one of the notable events
of American Jurisprudence The grounds
on which the appellate court puts it's or
der for a new trial show how rigidly the
rights of accused persons are protected
against the operation of public Or indi-
vidual prejudice or excitement. They
also bring to- light one of the gravest
evils of American law practice, and one
which imposes unnecessarily heavy ex-
penSe on the tax-paying public
The Molineux trial consumed an I'M
'precedentedly long time The lawyers on
both sides were permitted to wander far
afield. Side issues of every variety,
which could have no direct bearing on
guilt or innocence, were allowed to be
fought out without let or hindranee The
attorneys arguments consumed as much,
ii not more time, than was consumed in
the presentation of relevant testimony.
Outbreaks of violent passion were a regu-
tried the case in an atmosphere redolent
of excitement It was difficult, if not
impossible, for anyone connected with
the case to remain in a judicial frame of
mind. 1t would be surprising if the
jury did not share the spirit of bitter
craftsmanship which was made visible
from the outset.
1t is undeniable that the verdict was
in agreement with the popular Judgment
and the popular judgment were alike
sound; but it has never believed that
either was attained in a legitimate and
becoming manner. The trial could
have been finished in little more than
tenth OF the time consumed and with
a tenth of the expense, and the case
against the prisoner brought out as
clearly. 1t was the fault of the court
that the case was so conducted. It was
apparent from the outset that in any
trial so conducted the danger of the
result being overturned on appeal was
great.
There will probably be failure of JUS
tice in this case. Molineux may or may
not be again placed on trial. If his case
is retired its circumstances point with
certainty to failure to convict The
part which expert testimony was made
to play in this case was of necessity
great. The appellate decision does not
seem to have been affected by such testi-
mony. 1t was only when the circum-
stances of another death which CORE
sponded to those of the death of Mrs
Adams, the supposed victim of Molineux,
were allowed to be brought out, greatly,
no doubt, to the disadvantage of the ac-
cused that the trial failed of its purpose
to have justice administered.
The crime which resulted in the death
of Mrs. Adams by poison will always re-
main notable in the annals of criminol-
ogy. She was the victim of the misdi-
rected plans of her murderer The guilt
of Molineux is morally certain. But
whether Molineux or somebody else was
the murderer it is now practically certain
that his crime will go unpublished.

GOOD ROADS, IN Practice.

1t is quite an easy matter to discuss
the merits and dement's of a given line of
public policy. 1t is quite easy, too, to
decide on the proper course to take and
the proper policy to pursue in given
instance. 1t is not so easy, however, to
call the fruits of ones Judgment into
actual existence.
There has been a great deal said and
written on the subject of good roads in
this community. When gentlemen want
to air themselves in the public view,
good roads is found to be quite as effec-
tive an eXpedient as any other. The good
roads movement here and in most other
places has been effective mostly for en-
abling very public spirited gentlemen to
give the public their views on the sub
jeet and for enabling very enterprising
gentlemen engaged in the manufacture or
sale of read-making machinery to point
out the advantages of yneir several de-
vices.
We here in st. Paul have been the vic
N44AAS VI Jul DelS AONell SdDdA Oelil 4OoNAo.
We found some time ago that we could
not get for their Improvement any of
the moneys designed for expenditure on
roads within the county but outside the
city limits. It looks really as if good
deal of Individual and collective enthu-
siasm on good roads has leaked away
since that discovery was made.
The meeting in the interest of good To-
cal roads held in the mayors Office on
Saturday was not quite as we'll attended
as was that which preceded it. 1t was
not among other things, quite as enter
tanning. 1t was only committee meet
ing, and there We're less than a half doZ-
en- gentlemen present. But it got down
to business and was devoted to selecting
the local roads which ought to be expert
mented on in the actual work of so i'm
proving cur thoroughfares that the
traffic of the surrounding districts would
no longer he diverted from this city to
Minneapolis.
The selection made by that committee
was in every way commemorate. Rice
street is one of the great arteries of local
travel So with Concord street and with
Hastings avenue. Properly improved to
their full length a great work will have
been accomplished. 1t was in every sense
advisable in the preliminary orders for
the work that the matter of grading
should be omitted 1t would not only
be difficult to secure the consent of the
necessary proportion of property owners,
but their grading would under existing
circumstances be impracticable in the
matter of cost.
The thanks Of the community are due
to that committee for getting at it's work
so promptly and so intelligently 1t can
be relied on to carry on the work to
a point where at least the burden of con-
Quoting it to completion will be placed
on the proper shoulders. If the commit
tee and the principal body will continue
on its work with the energy displayed
thus far there can be no question what
ever as to the splendid results which
viii ultimately ensue.

URIBE-URIBE IS ACTIVE.
Engagement Looked for at An,

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Oct
20.-The military situation on the Tacn-
lJera frontier apparently remains un-
changed, although the restless activities
of Gen. Uribe-Uribe and his followers
may result in an engagement with the
Colombian troops of more or less impor-
lance any day. There is no change in
the Guajira peninsula. In various parts
of Venezuela guerrilla parties of Nation
alists continue more or less armed activ-
ity and minor uprisings are frequently re-
ported. President Castro is vigorously
depressing instruction wherever he can;
but repression, instead of discouraging
the Nationalist. seems to stimulate them
to fresh operations. They are not lacking
in numbers, their principal want being
arms and ammunition.

The fact that Mayor Spelman {

The fact that Mayor Spellman OF
Rutland has announced his candidacy
for reelection is sufficient incentive
for everybody to throw bricks at May
or Hersey of Barre. Why not let the
old gentleman alone now that his race
is SO nearly run. He really hasn't
been bowling success as chief ex-
ecutive, but he has not always been at
fault. If it has been an administra-
ton of spite there have been others as
much responsible for it as Mr.. Her
sey. Nevertheless all men are endow-
ed with practically the same human
instincts and perhaps those who find
the most fault would have done no
better than those they blame. If the
past year has been bitter pill for the
people of Barre to swallow, it has been
no less distasteful to Mayor Jersey.

terrors for him, after twelve months

Clarence j. Ferguson of Burlington

Clarence j. Ferguson of Burlington,
who spoke last night in the opera
house on "The Liquor Traffic. has
taken a stand that arouses the bitter
hostility of a large portion of his fell
low citizens, while those who would
like to favor the principles Of prohibi.
ton are quite likely to stand aside
and let him bear the brunt Of the
curse of public opinion which his own
policy has called down upon him. To
the air-minded person the courage of
Mr. Ferguson must be source OF the
highest admiration, and although one
may not uphold the platform of his
party, they must in all reason give
sanction to the energetic methods
which as grand juror in Burlington
he has expressed in the enforcement
Of the law.
