Changes Needed.
In the large sense OF public law and
social usage and moral principle this
case ,nffords the best instance Of any
recent one for careful consideration Of
the whole subject Of the ''unWritten
law" and demonstrates we think,
clearly the absolute necessity for an
important change or changes In the
law of homicide so far. as it relates
to cases of this general class. Some
persons object to what they call "au-
sthorzaton'' of private vengeance.
Here is a case showing the need for
restraints OF private punishments, and
yet under the force Of the ''unwritten
law" doctrine and the State Of the
written law on homicide the fury
unanimously on the first ballot after
forty minutes deliberations acaultt.
With the law more carefully defined,
with the proofs of allegations of mis-
doing made more imperative, with the
admission Of such evidence as was IN
this case excluded the number Of mis-
adventures of justice would be greatly
reduoed.--DanVille ReGister.
