Drunkenness as a Defense.

Drunkenness as a defense for
murder can be reduced to the
plain statement that a drunken
man bent on the commission of =
crime isas dangerous to the indi'
vidual against whom his efforts
are directed as the man who is
sober.
The argument that murder or
any other breach Of the law
should be condonad because the
accused admits that he had been
drinking to access for a consider
able time before the crime was
committed may appear reasona-
BILE, but is it? Manifestly the
man was in possession of his fa-
culites before he began drinking,
and if he continued the debaach
until such time as he believed he
had some right to take the life OF
another there can be little excuse
for his act.
But it is not so much in the de-
cision of one case that the danger
lies. If the courts are to take as
an argument for acquittal the
word of man charged with fell
ony that he was Irresponsible be-
cause it was committed while ne
drunk, the possibilities are dan
gerous. What IS to prevent ev-
cry deliberate murderer from biz
ling behing this defense, as SO
many of them have hidden b.
hind the ruling .0f q court that
there is emotional insanitys Is
it not possible, If one man is ac-
lquitted of crime, or his sentence
| is made nothing more than . few
| years. confinement, because the
lcrime was an act done while be
was under the influence of j.
lquor, that it will serve to in
crease the number of felonies OF
that cnaracters Pittsburg Dis
patch.
