''TJCTIMS OF ACQUITTAL. :"


A New York reporter, Mr..
Frank w. Mack, who has for years
s'studied the desperate and hope.
less face" of many a man whom
prosecuting attorney and police
have ruined by over Jealous
prosecution on a mistaken charge
of murder, thinks these acquittal
victims should be Unidentified by
the state. He is endeavoring to
secure legislation along this line
in the state of New York. He
argues that under present laws
@'it is fair to say that toward the
man found mot guilty the pub
lie is less enlightened and hu-
name than it is toward the con-
victed criminal;n and further,
that there are various Christian
institutions ready to give the ex-
convict lift but nobody to help
the ex-suspect. Mr.. Mack writes
in Everybody's Magazine:
1.-The plight of an acquitted muir
der prisoner is without duplicate or
parallel in human affairs. The ac-
quitting verdict of a murder jury is a
confession by the State that the jury
itself had no valid ground for exist
ence, that the judicial machinery
had slipped cog, that officials too
careless or too eager had clutched a
victim instead of a culprit.

quilted man? Stripped and brok-
en-, bruised by foul handling, SCARED

shadow and scared as by hell-fire,
the acquitted man stands dumbly
impotent Of moral redress or physl-
cal indemnity. And the public,
having scourged him as vicarious
sacrifice, expects him to be thank
full because it did not kill him."
He calls attention to the fact
that the victim of acquittal sis
compelled to share with the
state the money cost of his own
trial" And he tells some vivid
truths in describing the manner
of the prosecution -
"A man accused of murder con-
Fronts prosecutors who bring to their
paid efforts an implacable purpose
TO build or preserve personal repu-
tation. So horrid is the charge and |
so keen is the hunt, that the prison
er is driven to his utmost resource.
He may no longer rely upon pre-
sumptive innocence, for innocence |
has been and may again be strang-
led by circumstantial evidence. He |
tenters upon a defense which be-
comes practically deadly trial by |
,the accused to prove himself inno-
,cent. Along with his name, his
pride, and his life, he losses his own
fortune or pittance, and possibly the
possessions of his friends"
What a fearful and truthful
picture. Who may read this in
ltense arrangement of prosecuting
lawyers, who take up a case
with San implacable purpose to
build or preserve personal rep
and not realize the
fearful truth that the chosen
Representative Of Common
swealth's justice and dignity us
sually forgets, in prosecuting her
citizens, that his duty is as great !

DESPERATE FIGHTING GOING on.

of the Desperate Battle.


Mukden. March Z, ABS p. M
Fighting of the iercest kind, which is
likely to decide the fate of the battle
which has been in progress for ten
days, began at dawn, and has contin-
ued uninterruptedly up TO the present

ing on the extreme left of the Russian
army.
Bath Sides Fighting Desperately.
Both sides are fighting with despera-
ton to the westward. though the
troops are well night exhausted. The
issue of the battle may depend largely
on the relative physical condition of
the rank and file. In its main fea-
lures tie combat is very much like
that at Lao Yang. and if the Russians
should be able to crush the thanking
force. victory may be regarded as won.
The losses in the ten days of battle on
both sides are already far greater than
were the casualties in the battle of
Liao-Yang and are likely to increase
as the days pass before the issue is
fully decided.
Japanese Repulsed.
Beginning at two o'clock this morn
ing. the Japanese made a succession of
desperate attacks on Gen. Tserpitsky's
division on the west from south Muk-
den. repeating the assault at intervals
of two hours with constant reinforce
ments. About $4,000 Japanese with
200 pieces of artillery participated.
All the attacks were repulsed there
being enormous losses on both sides.
