M%uRpERERs IN A N
Some Curious Phases of Law in DIFF.
ferent Countries.
From Pearson's Week

From PearSOnS Weekly.
The recent murder of Senior Balma-
in Brussels, by LUZ Waddington, son
of the Chilian minister, again directs
attention to one of the many laws that
are sadly in need of alteration.
1t will be remembered that Wadding-
ton. after firing five shots at his sis
the CHILEAN legation, which stands close
to Senior B~almaceda's house, and took
refuge there. In ~onsequen of this
action the police have no power to en-
ter the building and arrest the murder
er, for the Legation is CONSIDERED 10 De
foreign territory n therefore inviol-
able. The murderer is thu able for the
time to snap his fingers at the law and
the police.
Even had the crime been committed
in this country II authorities would
have been Just as helpless, for, as the
law runs, the official residences of the
representatives of foreign countries are
exempt from the jurisdiction of the
country in which they stand. and local
authorities have no right to enter them
under any circumstances.
Once a murderer is captured in this
country he may be tried tor his crime,
no matter how long he has escaped the
arm of justice; but in France this is
not so. There if a murderer is not
discovered and brought to trial within
fifteen years he may go free as the
most crimeless citizen. Only the other
day a MAJ who had committed a muir
der twenty-five years S wrote de-
| family to the police confessing the
| crime and giving his address in Paris.

true. yet the police We're prevented by
