Stay Of Proceedings for Charles Do.
herty.

A stay of proceedings has been
granted in the case of Charles Doher-
ty, who was to have been hanged at
the state prison in Windsor March s,
for the murder of Fred Murphy of
Westmore at Bolton Falls two years
ago the present winter The evidence
was clear that Doherty shot Murphy
in cold blood with no sufficient provo
cation and while Murphy was unarmed
and not near enough to Doherty to do
him harm. There was no question
about the essential facts in the case,
and the jury found Doherty guilty.
Application was made to the supreme
court for new trial on the ground of
alleged new evidence showing insanity
After careful consideration of the case,
the Judges of the supreme court found
no sufficient ground for interfering
with the action of the lower court. The
Legislature was then appealed to to
commute DOherty's sentence, the
House voting to commute, as a matter
of sentiment apparently, but the Sen
dlt IbluSllS concurrence.
Within the week preparations have
begun at Windsor for Dohertys exc
cution, but it was announced Wednes-
day that evidence had been gathered
from persons where Doherty formerly
lived in Maine and New Hampshire.
showing insanity in his family. A pc
tition, supported by affidavits, was
drawn up and application was made to
Judges Watson and Rowell to grant a
hearing at the May term of the su-
preme court at Montpelier. These
Judges finally attached their signatures
to the petition which was then filed
in court this acting under the law as
stay of proceedings. Doherty's ori-
ginal trial was before Judge Watson.
To those who have had occasion to
watch this case in all its details, there
| is no doubt that so far as the act of
murder itself was concerned, it was an
act in cold blood for which deliberate
preparation had been made 1t is a
fact. moreover that, although DohCrty S
brother sat by his side throughout the
| trial. no question of insanity was ever
raised until after the trial was over
and the prisoner had been convicted.
| It was a case for the legislature to let
! alone. 1t can now be safely left TO
| the ndscs of the supreme court TO con

Crime Not lncreasinn.

Chew upon this: Twenty years ago
Vermont had one prison and 50 con
Victs. Today it has two prisons and
800 cOnyiCts. In the twenty years the
states population has increased about
three per cent. while its incarcerated
criminals have multiplied nearly 400
per cent. What does this mean?
More Crime? More rigid enforcement
of law? Or both?
This was the cry of the Rutland
News for more light. 1t got it from
ID. l.. Morgan, superintendent of the
house of correction, primed with sta
tistics since 1877, the year before the
house of correction was opened. MI.
Morgan finds that in the last six
months of that year III prisoners were
committed to Rutland county Jail
alone. He argues that if other coun-
ty jails would show proportionately
the same state of affairs, the numDer
of incarcerated law-breakers in 1877
would be far in excess of the 300
shown by the prison census of 1900,
The explanation is simply TINS:
The house of correction now gets pris-
oners who under the old method would
have remained in the county jails.

When the newspaper scribe of the
future records the achievements of
Vermonters he will state as a tradi-
tion, but not as an historical fact, that
the man who broke the bank at Monte
Carlo was a Vermonter lumber
king with a variety of sporting pro
clivities. This tradition will be based
on the following information, from
page 2, column 2, Rutland Herald of
Feb. 20, 1901: Silas l.. Griffith, who is
travelling toward Jerusalem, has sent
a cablegram to his family at Dandy
from Monte Carlo in which he says
that he had a pleasant voyage and had

FOR SUPREME COURT JUDGE.
LFrom the Burlington News. |

rom llc burlington NeWb.l
Justice Horace Gray of Massachu-
sctts will soon retire from the United
States Supreme Court, and there is a
question in regard to the selection of
his successor, who, as a matter of
course, will be a New England man.
Boston is reaching out for the place,
and Chief Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, who holds the place which
was occupied by Judge Gray when he
was called to the Supreme bench
twenty years ago by President Arthur,
is spoken Of.
There are but two Of the New Eng
ed member of the United States
supreme court-Vermont and Rhode
Island. That fact is no argument
whatever for the appointment of a
Vermont man now. But it does afford
reason why President Mckinley
should look at Vermont carefully, to
see if it hasn't the best man. And in
that case, we believe that his choice
would fall upon that eminent Yer
monter Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler of the
United States District court.
Judge Wheeler has occupied the Dis
trict judgeship for twenty-four years
and for the eight years preceding was
one of the judges of our State Su
preme Court, so that he has had judi
cial experience for a continuous term
of thirty-two years.
Nor has Judge Wheeler's service on
the bench been limited to Vermont
For many years he has presided in the
United States court in New York city
and some of the most important liti
cation of the day has been argued be
| fore him-Judge Wheeler having beer
summoned to hold court in New York
because the leading lawyers there hat
so much confidence IN his learning
/ carcfulness and impartiality.
And thus he has become admirahl'
! fitted for a place on the Suprcm,
court. HIS age, we suppose. is against
him. but we should fancy that fl
might not be an insuperabe objection

The Senate dropped the shipping
subsidy bill Saturday to take up the
oleomargarine bill. The former meas
ure has not been officially abandoned,
but it is looked upon generally as in
a moribund condition. The Senate
does not appear to favor the oleomar-
garine bill, but allowed it the right of
way in order to blacken the eye Of
the shipping subsidy bill. The South
ern Senators are opposed to the oleo-
margarine bill. Some object to it
upon the constitutional grounds on
which they have opposed other efforts
TO crush particular industries by the
use of the taxing power and others
think it is hostile to the cotton seed oil
industry in their states. The oleo biIl
is at a critical stage again.

Two of the brightest minds in Yer
mont were snuffed out in the plenti-
tude of their powers in the death OF
DR.. Jo II. Linsey and Charles NJ. Wilda.
Dr. Iinsley was only A. years old,
but he was the most conspicuous med
ical specialist in the state. lie did
notable work III connection with
medical institutions in New York and
as professor Of pathology and bactc-
riology in the University of Vermont
and he had entered a broader hcid OF
usefulness at the mead of the state
meteorological laboratory at Burlins-
ton. Mr.. WllIs of Middlebury was
only three yea = '.insley's senior, and
had won a place in law equal TO that
of Liuscy in medicine. Wild was
a commanding figure, Of powerful
physique, gifted with briHancy of in
t,uc.t and graoca of manner. His
entire attention had been given to
corporation law i'm recent years, ana lt
is probable that he received annually
from the Central Vermont and Grand
Trunk railroads larger retainer than
is commanded by any lawyer in the
state.
