Gent to implicate any person on that
charge. While Herman Donstad was
on the stand he testified that he had
sold liquor to Kingland while he was in
toxicated, and had several times while
he was in that condition. The district
attorney thereupon promptly swore out
a warrant against him for that offence,
and the court imposed fine of $25 or
30 days in Jail. 1t seems to be quite
serious offense to sell liquor to a drunk
en- man and it should be.

wholesale method OF denunoiatlon to

requires very much less effort than in

makes so much more noise than the
quiet investigator that he cannot fail
to attract attention.
Here Is Professor George D. Heron

WHAT WILL THEY Do9

The great evil TO which we called at
tention IN our last issue. has come to
the front in the shape Of an object les
son that cannot sbe ignored. The ar
rest Of a young girl and two youths in
one Of the many "roomlng" houses,
forces attention to the condition Of af-
fairs IN this city.
Much discussion occurs over the best
means OF correcting the wrong. Some OF
the police think that messenger boys
are the principal offenders and that
they begin their vile career by carry
ing messages to and from the residents
and "resorters" OF lewd houses. and
the proposition is tina, messengers
be employed who are under age.

THE FosBuRGH TRIAL.

The Fosburgh trial Is over and the
jurys verdict Of acquittal, directed by
the Judge who heard the ease, meets
with the general approval Of the whole
country. But now there is an after
clap. The prosecution OF young Fos-
burgh for the murder OF his sister
seems to have been, in large measure,
blunder of the worst sort. one that
almost approaches crime. In an
interview, after the trial was over.
Chief Nicholson is reported as saying;
II accomplished about all that
hoped for. The burglar story ! never
believed, and when Robert Fosburgh
was indicted Il was for the purpose OF
showing that Pittsfield was not the
home Of burglars. | never really ex-
pected to fasten the crime upon the de-
PENDANT"
Truly most remarkable statement.
lie never believed the burglar story and
TO demonstrate that there were no bur-
glars In Pittsheld, he was willing to
ieopardize the life OF the brother of
the murdered girl. He declares ne
never really expected to fasten the
crime upon the brother A public Of
fetal who brings a criminal action
against anyone not expecting TO fasten
the crime with which he Is charged
upon him. Is either a fool or knave.
When man is charged with any
crime, and put upon trial, Il is pre-
sumed that the state has strong eyld-
ence against him, and that It IL honest
and sincere. Chief Nicholson did not
have strong evidence, In truth he had
nothing but theories and presumptions,
and by his own confession he was not
honest and sincere in bringing the pro-
secutlon In this case.
An cities have a pride in their good
name and II is pleasant to think that
ones home town Is not the home OF
burglars But would any right-mind-
ed citizen wish to have his home city
indicated from the charge of being the
resort of burglars at the price OF the
prosecution OF a fellow townsman on
the false charge OF having murdered
his sister, That would be vindica-
ton with vengeance.
Pittsheld's chief Of police made a
very serious mistake when he singled
out young Fosburgh as the instrument
for indicating Pittsheld's name. AS
an officer, 1t was his duty to do all In
his power to run down and bring TO
justice the murderer OF the Fosburgh
girl. But he proceeded on the theory
that the law demanded a victim, and
so to secure victim, guilty or inno-
cent, he set to work Herein lies his
folly his, in reality, crime. For a
mistake OF Judgment, for lack Of a
true appreciation OF the evidence col
lected by him or presented to him. an
officer is not TO be censured, but when
he proceeds to bring prosecution on
what he knows to be iimsy or worth
less evidence and false theories OF civic
pride. he IL censurable In the highest
degree. Today. Robert Fosburgh stands
before the country as an innocent and
injured man; Chief Nicholson as a
weak. II not a bad man.

There win be danger in the present
state Of public feeling Of an improper
outcry against the policy which brought
about any trial at all Before indulg-
ing in such criticism. one should re-
member the conditions existing at the
time OF the arrest. A shocking tragedy
had taken place In Pittsfeld, which had
been, at the best, most imperfectly ex-
planned; the whole region Was In un-
rest over the mystery; there was every
possible reason that In some way the
affair should be explained. The police.
on investigation, reached conclusions
which caused them 10 suspect young
Fosburgh OF the deed. and these con-
illusions were so far borne out by testi-
mony introduced at the inquest that the
grand Jury ordered the arrest Of the
defendant.

There never seems to have been the

young Fosburgh shot and killed his
