MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Maine Murders.
(Thomaston Herald.)

NIHoIildStOn t1eTdlu.J
Although We agree with the Kenne-
bee Journal as regards Maine having
a. fever uu,lber of murders and having
fewer criminals escape than any other
State in the Union, yet ii does Seem
that in many cases where murderer
has gone free he ought to have been ar
rested and convicted. The main
trouble. we believe, why more muir
dercrS are not convicted of their
horrible crimes, is from the very fact
that persons who are summoned as
witnesses either tell downright out
raeeous, contemplate lies or else they
fail, utterly, Intentionally and wilfuliy
to tell what they actually do know,
and person that will do this sort of
thing is nearly as bad as the one who
commits the awful crime of murder.
In the case of the old man Robbins,
the Deer Isle fisherman, who was
murdered, brutaliy so, several months
age, we believe there isn't much OF any
doubt tut what there are many per-
sons who are well satisfied who com
mitted the murder, and that there is at
least one person or more, who If they
had spark of honesty or manhood
left would go before a court and testify
that they know so-and-so committed
that murder In the Hackett case,
there IS yet time to solve the mystery
and let us hope by all that is good and
greaX that the day will speedily come
when the iiendish murderer Will be
brought TO Justice, convicted and pun
ishcd I" the fun extent Of the law.
