MURDER AND NO PENALTY.
Recorders Comment o. Two Cases-Wit-
nesses Spirited Away.

Last Friday" said Recorder Gof in
the General Sessions yesterday, Il was COM
PEELED to discharge a man accused OF muir
der, and the admitted facts were these:
Two men were seen together by a police
man. One man fell and the other ran.
The policeman ran to the man who had
fallen and found he had received nine stab
wounds in the body and the knife with
which the stabbing was dom was sticking
In his body. The officer drew out the
knife and pursued the man who ran and
caught him. There were blood stains on
the prisoners hands.
1T is lamentable that such things should
occur In the heart of the city and no one
be held for the crime. 1t Is lamentable
that in this community with It's boosted
civilization and multiplicity OF laws and
law officers a man accused OF crime can
escape without even the form OF a trial.
The Grand Jury was justified in discharging
him, no doubt, but in my opinion it be-
tokens groes negligence and incompetency
somewhere hat a brutal murder like that
should take place and no one be brought to
Justice"
for murder in the first degree, was brought
before tho Recorder. He was accused Of
killing Patrick D. Morgan In q saloon fight:
That was eight months ago. His counsel
obtained from Judge O'Sullivan on March
23 an order that unless Keneagh was tried
before April 10 he should be discharged.
"In this case" said the Recorder, the
District Attorney is unable to proceed to
trial. / do not say that it is because Of
delay or negligence-I I'm simply com
menting on the facts. Under the order
Of Judge O'Sullivan I can do nothing else
but discharge the prisoner. He may be
innocent but the Grand Jury found enough
evidence to indict him"
Assistant District Attorney Mott ex-
planned that several important witnesses
had been spirited away and that without
them there was no case against keneagh.
Every effort to get them back had been
unsuccessful.

PILOTS RESIST NEW RULES.
Ask Courts TO Say That Port Wardens Have
Gone Beyond Their Powers.

The new pilot regulations for He'll Gate,
put into effect on April 0 by the Board Of
Port Wardens, are not altogether approved
by the Sound pilots, and II Of them
IsaAo n. Stillwell, has obtained from STU
preme Court Justice Scott q writ Of certio-
rari for the review Of the regulations.
Pilot Swell says that behind the change
In the regulations is an attempt to change
the whole He'll Gate eystem OF pilotage.
Under the new rules there 10 to be only one
pilot boat, Of twenty-five tons net, at the
He'll Gate pilot station, while under the
former rules, authorized by the act OF 1882,
here have been two or more boats Of twenty
tons net. The new boat Is to be known as
the station boat.
Stillwell also takes exception to the new
rule that the inside station Is to be fixed
at City Island and the outside station at
O three mile radius from Execution Rock.
The new rules also increase the penalties
that pilots may incur.
The change In the rules, Stillwell says,
lie illegal and unconstitutional as inter
fering with his means OF livelihood as a
pilot and as In violation Of previously ex-
listing laws which have not been repealed
or amended.
Justice Scott examined Stillwell's papers
and remarked in granting the writ that
there seemed to be some dought as to whether
the proposed regulations do not go too far,
or at least beyond the authority vested
in the Board OF Port War6ens by law.
