MOSTSAVED FROM PRISON
NEW YORK SUPREME COURT JUS
TICE MACLEAN TO THE RESCUE.
Noted Anarchist Granted N Certificate
of Reasonable Doubt in Order
to Stay the Sentence.

NEW YORK Oct. 29.-Justice MacLean,
in the Supreme Court to-day granted GER
tifcate of reasonable doubt In the case of
John Most. editor of the Freiheit, an
Anarchist paper, in order to stay his SEN
tence OF twelve months imprisonment for
the publication of an article entitled MUIR
der vs.. Murder" which appeared on the
day OF President McKinleys assassination.
Justice MacLean says the only proof to
support the judgment is that Most pur-
loined an article. expressing certain senti-
ments, written by another half a century
ago, and published it as his own 'in
paper professedly of some circulation, but
which circulation is shown by the sale of
but a single copy, that purchased by the
police. probably for the purpose of prosecu-
ton. He further says that ii may be
doubted reasonably whether the judgment
even with that support should stand, as
plagiarism is not criminal offense under
the laws of the United States. 1T is not
shown, says Justice MacLean. that the
defendants expression of borrowed senti-
ment has worked injury to any individual
by falsifying any fact. or TO the public
peace or health, or that his acts were at
tended with circumstances likely TO disturb
or endanger the public peace or health"
The justice says also the contention that
the publication has openly outraged pub
lie decency rests solely upon the language
of the article itself. and that the indecency
repressed by the law relates rather to
action and words which nature and pro-
priety require to be concealed and sup
pressed and TO public displays, sale and eX-
hibition of evil books or prints. THE in
decorum of this pifered screed." says Judge
acLean. lis OF another sort 1t prates of
humanity. immortality and morality. reason
and conscience, but carries no suggestion
OF the obscene" The utterances. Justice
MacLean says, do not come within the
meaning OF the section of the code under
which Most was prosecuted.
