The killing OF Miss ChappeIle Whise'
nRuC by Mrs. willie Sandffer.

Ever and non we learn offs despoiled nome
and OF some poo outraged human being
taking the life of the despoiler.
Thu latest case Is the killing OF Miss Chap
pelle Whisenant by her sister Mrs. Willie
Sandifer. In the city OF Atlanta.
Such cases az this usually elicit much spec
~ulation as to the justice or injustice OF such
a killing. There will be people who will say
that Mrs. Sandifer was warranted in com.
Knitting this terrible act, and there are those
who will deny her right to take a human
life even under greater provooation, and
again some may be found who will hold tha,
she would have been justified In killing both
her husband and her sister. So many men ,
so many opinions.
Our jurors readily acquit one who has kill.
cd the despoiler Of his home. So great kind.
ness WELLS up in men toward one who sui.
fers thus, and there Is such Vulnerable Ioath.
ing toward the perpetuator Of such q deed
might we not call 1t crime-that the court
usually renders q quick verdict Of moi
guilty" He has suffered enough, we think,
let him 20.
Looking at the matter IN the light of rea.
son 1t seems that very little is to be gained
by killing the perpetrator OF such o crime.
Could the home be restored thereby there
might be some reason In 1t, could the, in
jured man or woman lessen the Vulnerable
misery oft by awarding death TO the doer OF
the wrong. there might be some reason in It,
but wreaking vengeance thus only adds TO
the misery one already experiences. While
the temptation to kill is great, and while the
perpetrator may deserve death as is usually
the case, still the poor victim would exc out
the remainder OF his days with less gpswing
misery II he has not blood on bis hands. For
q few short days 1t may delight one to
know:thst he has melted out a fitting reward,
but az the days go by, and the months pass
and the years come, he will feel better II
there is no blood On bis hands. However
richly the fend deserves the bullet, the
wronged man only adds to bis misery In the
end by taking the life Of bis enemy.
In suoh troubles the right person Is not al
ways killed or rather the most guilty is not
always the one to suffer. -.
Is 1t not better to leave 1t all, and though It
be 8 great trial 10 resist the impulse TO kill,
at least for a while, is 1t not better to get ont
and leave 1t. and float. a dere,ict, until the
waves Of time shal wash the wreck upon the
shores Of eternity? Then there will be no 60
ousing voice to haunt the poor blackened
days that remain OF life.~ vengeance is mine,
I will repay"
