Employees May Be Liable.


The frequency with which disas-A
trous railroad wrecks have, occurred
il this state within the past several
months on account of carelessness OF
employees, and in some cases their
open violation of orders and rules and
regulations, is steadily crystalizing
public sentiment in favor of the pass
age by the next legislature of an aet
making railroad employees criminally
liable for disobeying orders or violat-
ing important rules which endanger
the lives of passengers. A number
of the leading newspapers of the state
have taken the matter up, and are.
urging the passage of such law, and
the railroad officials say such a law
must come sooner or later in all the
states.
In this connection it is pointed out
by railroad officials of high position
that the Ogden special which crashed
into a freight working in the Greer
vile yards recently was an extra and
therefore inferior" in the eyes Of the
rules regulating the running OF
trains to second class" train, anu
that Engineer James Hunter should
have brought it into the Greenvi1le
yards under full control expecting
to find the main. track occupied" And
this is the position that the Southern
will likely assume at the investigation
to be held before the railroad COM
mission as to the cause of the wreck
of the Ogden special.

The War.

The war between Russia and
Japan, in many respects the most
notable history, in has practically
come to an end
There is little likelihood that any
more fighting of a serious ma
turc will take place, and if the
armies in Manchuria are aware Of
the status Of affairs-aS they
doubtless are--it is likely that
they will refrain from attacking
each other until a formal armisticc
is declared, This will probably
be within a few days. At the in
stance Of President Roosevelt, the
warning nations have signhed
their willingness to appoint pleri-
potentiaries with view to arrang-
ing peace terms, the Russian gov
ernmcnt going so far as to eN-
press its Willingness to have the
meeting occur in Manchuria,
Washington or Paris. The la tier
city, however |. preferred by the
Gar, and will probably be the
scene of at least the preliminary
meeting. There has been no in
dieaiton Of what Japan will name
as peace terms. Russia thinks
she cannot afford to set the price
too high, as such action would en-
danger the future. Japan, how.
ever, has won an almost complete
victory, and the victors will doubt
less name terms that will convince
the Russian government that she
has been in the fight and gotten
the worst of 1t.
The war, which began Febru-
ary s, 1904, with the attack of
Togo's fleet upon the ships at
Port Arthur, has been full of sur
prises for the whole world, which
has watched the triumphal march
of the Japanese with astonishment.
When the conflict opened nobody
save the japanese themselves ex.
pressed serious doubt that Rus
sia would in time wear out the
Yankees of the Orient and crush
them, and 1t is doubtful if the
Japs, themselves had any idea of
such n victory as they have won.
Aside from being ore of the great
est wars in history in the matter
of men and fleets employed, the
success of the Japanese in every
engagement makes 1t notable. A |
glance over the history Of the
struggle Will show not single
victory for the Russians in any
contest worthy the name of battle.

Patrick Is Held Guilty Of
Murder.
Poisoning OF VIM. Marsh Rice
New York Court Of Ap-
leals by Vote of Four
t0 Three Sustains
Lower Courts.

Albany, n. \ June o. The
court of appeals today by divi-
dcd count voting -four to three,
sustained the lower courts in ad-
Judging Albert L Patrick, the
New York lawyer, guilty Of mur-
der in the first degree, in causing
the death of William Marsh Rec
an aged millionaire, formerly n
resident of TeXns On April Z,
1902, Patrick was convicted on
an indictment charging him with
murder of Rice bv Chloroform
and mercury, administered to
him during his sickness on Sep
temher 90, 1900.
The case renched the court Of
appeals on March 14th of this
year.
Patrick has succeeded in post
pnning the ultimate decision Of
his fate for over three years by a
display os accumen and resource
that has excited the wonder of
the members of the bar and the
public at large. The opinion Of
the court was written by Judge
Gray. He sets forth that sit
wa, not claimed that Patrick per.
sonally committed the murder,
for the prosecution had the vol
un;nry confession of Jones that
it was be who did it, induced and
aided the reto by Patrick; but
the defendant was principal in
in the commission of the crime,
under our law, if he aided and
abetted it, whether present
or absent.
After Il review of the evidence
that the death was not the result
of natural causes, and tha; it
could only be accounted for as
happening in the way testified to by
Jones-that is, by chloreform pois
onlng, administered while the
victim was sleeping"
In conclusion Judge Gray said
that "the evidence, independent
ly Of the testimony cf the accom-.
plice, Is fraught With crushing
implication of the defendant in
the deliberate purpose to kill
Rice IN order that he might pos
sess his estate"
The dissenting Judges hold that
material evidence in the trial
Of the; case and that i'm
portant evidence in Patrick's fa-
vor was improperly excluded.
Judge O'Brien)st opinion holds
that it was not proved that Rice
was living when the chloform was
applied TO his face, and that "no
one thought of chloroform as the
agency of the death until Jones
had made his fourth and last con-
fession, after recanting three
others that were shown to be
false.
"In records of this court"
says Judge O'Briep, ono case
can be found where conviction
for capital offense has been
sustained in the face of such OBJ
jectlons as this case presents. l
can see no reason for making this
case an exception.
