THE CASE OF KENNEDY.

The third prosecution OF Kennedy for murder

general expectation is that he VIII not he tried

ably wants to run no further risk. though policy
might require him 10 profess the contrary.
The public seems TO he quite willing to let

the fact is suggestive of some disquieting refec-

be an encoura cement 10 criminals, as no doubt
the long procedures which have resulted in the
present situation have already been 10 a some
what less extent. But there is use in COM
planning of human nature il manifests itself
in such n case. The three prosecutions have
cost the taxpayers large amount of money
at least S1n.o00. II is sad-and there is no
reason 10 suppose that fourth would result in
a conviction. On the other hand. there Is no
general impression that Kennedy is innocent
and consequently no general disposition TO
demand that he should have another chance to
win verdict. while nobody suggests the posi-
bility Of bringing any else 10 trial for the
crime. Let il drop expresses. therefore. the
prevalent attitude. and a decision TO let ii drop
would excite little or unfavOrable criticism.
ii does not appear that this unfortunate issue
strengthens the familiar arguments against the

gent. The first found him guilty and was in
no wise responsible for the errors of law which

but they had before them additional testimony

bers were unwilling 10 dismiss as worthless in

reveal once more is the evil consequences which

continually invite. II is not sufficient answer

seems to be decidedly the best of all which have
been proposed There will he. of course, not n
little satisfaction in the adoption of the plan
which the United States has all along favored.
But the best feature Of it will be the triumph
of the American policy of securing prompt
and eouitahlp settlement without involving this
country in any lasting and possibly embarrass-
ing complications with other powers. All plans
providing for joint occupation OF China until
the indemnity is paid. or for the issuance of
bonds by China 10 all the powers together. have

will have nothing whatever to do with the
