THE MoLISEUx CASE.


The acquittal OF Roland b. Mollneux
Is very like a vindicatIon Of the pro-
cedure Of the New York criminal courts.
We have already said what we think
about Judge Lamberts admirable con-
duet Of the case and now, at the end
Of this famous trial the chief congratu-
latIons are due, not TO the defendant,
but to the jury which kept so steady a
judgment before confusing mass Of
evidence Of highly circumstantlal sort.
The prosecuting attorneys able sum
ming up presented score Of differences
and possibilities which the jury was
asked to accept as a certainty OF guilt;
but the jury perceived the essential
weakness Of the case for the proseeu-
tion-namely that the life Of man
hung upon the fact that he had or had
not written certain letters and the ad.
dress upon a certain package.
