GONE years ago the late Charles Hoyt wrote a
- play which was based upon absurd incon-
~ sistency of the Vermont prohbitory law. The
plot admirable for farce comedy; but it
difficult to realize that 1t actually had been taken
from real life. A man named Kibling was sentenced
to prison for sixty years for selling about seven
hundred glasses of liquor-a much less quantity
than most respectable city hotels sell to their patrons
in an afternoon.
Still more remarkable was a case in Greenville
Ohio, last January, when sent to the
penitentiary for stealing food when he hungry
In this the sentence was legal, and yet it
not what the law meant. Why? Because the last
Ohio Legislature in changing the penalty for
burglary from twenty years to life imprisonment,
overlooked possible case in which the law might
work great hardship and injustice In drafting
the new law, they worded it so the penalty was
life imprisonment, adding, with the most wonderful
forethought, that the sentence might be reduced
in the discretion of the Judge if the jury should
recommend mercy.
Of course the Legislature could not be expected to
know that there in the which are not
tried by jury. A man pleads guilty-under the law
of Ohio there can be no jury The question that
jury decides has been admitted by the defendant,
in open court. Even the most extenuatng circum-
stances then would not lessen the punishment for
burglary if the man pleaded guilty.
So the very to fit the defect in the law
occurred, quite naturally. William Welsh, stray
tramp, being hungry, as tramps often are, strolled
of corned beef from inside the storm door of farm
house. The door closed; therefore, he broke
and entered ;" which is the legal description of
burglary, and with intent to commit felony !;
namely, get something to eat. AS it the night
season, time wherein the face of cannot be
act act of bare faced burglary of the grossest
kind.

courteous in the matter, merely abstracting food

asked.

to get something to eat"
But if you will plead not guilty, can try you

Il said l was guilty, replied Welsh. Whats

The Judge was taken completely off his feet.
Such case this had never before under
his observation. do you really want me to send
you to the penitentiary for life: Existence behind

wouldn't let him vote, and they built Government

people from having direct say in things You are
not supposed to have enough to choose
President, and you never really vote for one. You
vote for electors, and there is no law to prevent
their choosing somebody else for President than the
