EXPLAINS NEW-BRUNswICK HOMICIDE
There Is No Maudlin Compassion for Drunk
ards in Jersey, It Is Asserted.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some one has given untrue set OF facts
In the brunswick, homicide which
your editorial. headed Sympathy for Drunkard
In The Tribune Of January IL. is founded. The
Indictment was for manslaughter, with further
count for a simple not atrocious. assault and
battery. There was no post-mortem examination
OF the body OF the deceased by dissection and or
the three physicians having knowledge OF the case
none did or could testify that death was surely
caused by the blow. The jury found the de-
PENDANT not guilty of manslaughter but guilty UNI
der the second count of simple assault and bat
terry in striking blow with the billiard cue the
blow being clearly proved There Is ground
for saying that the fact that the defendant was
intoxicated influenced the fury in coming to their
verdict ''in nnaudlin compassion for drunkards''
who are guilty and certainly the court did not. nor
do the courts OF New-Jersey ever rule otherwise
than that "a man must be held responsible for
serious offences against the laws. even when com
mitted under the influence Of alcohol"
You say: THE fine in this (s0O
grotesouely insufficient penalty for this homicide.
Surely a long term of Imprisonment should have
been imposed. although there was no premedtated
and malicious scheme to do mortal harm But the
conclusive finding by the jury is that there was no
homicide committed. and by their verdict OF guilty
OF a simple assault and battery only the jury
limited the judge who imposed sentence to such
sentence would be reasonable and proper for
simple assault and battery. The defendant is not
and never was "a drunkard," as you term him. On
contrary he - d iS9pNOtabS NsiS ~H"4Ni' "-e''

pretty well punished for the simple blow that
the jury said al kill, when they gave him
the benefit OF the doubt in their minds arising from
what they thought inconclusve proof that his blow
was the cause OF the death.
This is not to whether the Judge did or dld
reach the same conclusion that the jury did,
but IL 1t be assumed that he did IL would seem
that he should accept the situation the jury
limited and put II to him, and adapt his sentence
IN good faith the grade of the offence round.
The facts and finding thereon are. of course foy
the Jury. and much in criminal
cases. If the Judge nullifes verdict OF jury and
imposes rnanslaughter sentence a simple

ing a trial by jury, and ii may be added there Is
no for such judge in our present ADVANCED

MALAOROIT ADVOCACY.
York Evening Post.

From The New-York Evening Post.
Incidentally. Perry Heath dropped an interesting
hint as TO the nature of Hannas strength. Ten
railroad presidents. out of fifteen see king obscurity
at the WaIdorf-Astoria, had promised Hanna their
unqualified support. This was stated as one might
eXclaim: Poll the railroad presidents OF a
country, and | care not who cast Its votes II
a striking implication that Hanna rs the candidate
of comrnercialism. Now nobody imaglnes that he
can conquer in the name OF capitalism. but the
frank citation of the railroad presidents showed
where his hope is lodged. -
