~ HE taking of human life, except in
self-defense, is never justifiable
in the eyes of the law; but con-
tingencies sometimes arise where such
an act is justifiable in the eyes of
God. To my mind, the Mcdowell
case was one of them.
The fine feelings which every man
has for his fellow man, the still finer
feelings which a husband bears for a
wife, he sacrificed on the altar of love.
James Mcdowell did what every
right-thinking man believes ought to
be done in such a case. but which
very few would find the courage to
do.
But though l have nothing but
praise and admiration for this man. !
realize the great danger which lies
in countenancing the deliberate ia
king of human life under any consid-
erations.
This same obstacle is met with in
the consideration of another phase of
the same questionable disposition of
the newborn babe who is physically
deformed or mentally deficient. Should
these little ones be put away or
should they be permitted to develop
into lifelong cripples or idiots? If it
were possible to regulate and safe
guard the disposal of the adult who
is suffering from an absolutely in
durable and agonizing disease and the
baby who is born to a life of torture
in such a way that it could not be
subjected to abuse, 1 should be in
clined to say that, in the cause of hui
manity, an end should be put to such
suffering.
l believe the time will come when
the problem will be solved in this
way.

agony" she begged her husband.
They were two days march from
the nearest help. Mcdowell faced a
clear-cut problem of three sides.
Should he sit beside his wife and
let her suffer her torture until death
came? should he hope1essly start
away for assistance, leaving her to
face death at the fangs of the wolves
which were circling about them?
Or should he kill her?
Mcdowell, after hours of anguish,
shot his wife through the head
Is James Mcdowell to be con-
demned as a murderer or to be &C
claimed as a hero? On this page is
his clean-cut narrative of his ex-
perience to guide his judgment And
here is the scenario of his tragedy:
Among McDowelrs intimate chums
is John Crawford, also a miner and
prospector. Crawford has a pretty
daughter, a bright, vivacious, coura-
geous girl of the real northwestern
type. Mcdowell has watched the girl
from the cradle up, and when she is
twenty-five he marries her
He has a rich claim near Castle
mountain, in the British Columbia ex-
tension of the Cascade range. and
soon after he is married he decides
to visit it.
The trail leads through a very rough
country, but MacDowelrs bride in
sists upon accompanying him They
have three mules-one for the wife,
one for the husband and one for pro-
visions and implements. The noun
tain trails are very narrow and steep,
and one day, as the wifes mule, which
is somewhat in the lead suddenly
brays, as if in pain, and the miner,
looking up, sees him rearing on the
very edge of the precipice Before he
can reach his wife's side, the mule
has plunged over the edge of the
cliff, carrying the wife with him,
Mcdowell follows the edge of the
canyon until he comes to the mouth
and makes his way to the point of the
catastrophe.
He finds the body of the mule and
so feet away, the crushed and mutt
lated body of his wife. Every bone
is broken, although her head and face
have somehow escaped serious in,
jury. He mikes some brandy and
water and forces it down her throat
and she revives. She recognizes her
husband and begs him to put her out
of her misery
MacDowen realizes that her case is
hopeless and that her death can only
be a matter of hours. The nearest
help of any kind is 40 miles away.
In the distance, he hears the howl
ing of the wolves and knows that the
cougar or mountain lion will make
short work Of his suffering wife if he
leaves her
For SO hours he has had neither
sleep nor food, and he is unable tc
maintain the strict watch which will
be necessary to save his wife and him
self from the wild beasts of the re
gion-
And all the time his bride of nine
months is begging him to put hel
away, to release her from her agony
For ten hours he debates whether o.
not to yield to her request, and the1
decides to do so. He presses his re
volver against his wife's head and
