Sympathy for prisoner being
punished NAV be all right but on
Saturday general Indignation was
expressed because a Wilmington
man gave half a dollar to Riley. the
professional thief and would-be
murderer. He spent an hour in
the 2illory for having attempted 10
commit murder. The giving Of that
money was an uncalled for act.
Between the place where this man
with the big heart of sympathy and
a convicted burglar was stone wall.
That burglar was convicted Of rob-
bing the Bavarian Brewery. Rilev
ia desper a te character and man
who had murder in his heart. AS
he came down the steps, in tue Levy
building he saw Sergeant Howgate
standing outside the door. The
policeman had no revolver 10 his
hand and Riley at once determined
to strike him IN the head with the
butt end of his revolver. Accord
ingly he pulled the revolver from
his hip pocket and had it in bis
hand when he emerged from the
door. His intention was to get
away and he decided to first use
the end and the n the contents. Riley
has so stated that such we're his
intentions. On Saturday morning
he was in high glee in the jail and
danced a jig in his cell. After he
was taken to his cell from the pill.
Tory he openly expressed himself as
to the form of punishment in Della
ware. His neck and wrists were
stiff and every muscle in his body
informed him that be had been
punished. Riley carrot understand
WHY stranger gave him hall a
dollar. He thought it was drink
and not sympathy. 1t was an I'M
called for proceeding. 1t showed
that in Delaware there was one
man at least who thought more of
a desperate burglar aud would
be murderer than OF a brave po-
liceman's life. He showed that
there is too much sympathy here
Tor such people.
