SINGULAR Austrian Law.

A few days ago the murderer Of Mr..
Reid. the Paisley man who mysteri.
ously disappeared from Heidelberg
last July. having been arrested in
Austria, was tried at Feldkirch and
was convicted and sentenced to 20
years Imprisonment.
The case illustrates a singularity OF
the Austrian criminal law. Generally
speaking. a premeditated murder is
punishable by death in Austria. but in
cases where between the time of the
murder and the arrest the prisoner
has been punished for some other
crime a sentence Of capital nunish-
ment cannot be passed upon him.
In this case the murderer had
served a weeks Imprisonment for
petty theft about January of this year,
and to this circumstance alone he is
indebted for his life.
