Published by sherman, French 4 Com
pany, Boston.
This is ca tale of old California.
II is, in fact, more than that. 1t is
story oil the bandit Joaquin MurIeta,
who spread such terror along the west
coast in the early days. The author
claims that in the late fortIes and early
ffties California was overrun with all
sorts and classes of Americans. lie
seems to think that the worst classes
prcdominated, and tina, the Americans
'swindled shamcfullv the simple, kind

ken through cheating. the result being
that many rich and powerful Califor
mans became in few years beggars
is that Murieta was one Of those Cali
that he took up his life AS an outlaw
to revenge himself and his countrymen.
The author claims that by the Span
iards Murieta was regarded as "A hero
and savior. The Americans, of course.
consider him robber and outlaw.
This story largely takes the Spanish
side of the question, and glorifes Mu-
ricts as one who not onM was wroneed

THE PLEA OF A FELON.

My Life in Prison. BY Donald LowT1e.
York.
This is n very sl,illfully and per
suasiveIy written book, from the crlml'
nal side. Its purpose is to pcrsuads
the public that criminals are III nara
luck rather than wicked, and that their
intent is usually good even when they
commit crime. The book is an init
mate relation of prison life from the
convict standpoint, and, of course, u
has much to say against prison discl-
pline and the hardships of the prisoner
who is detained in jail because OF ms
criminal acts. But starting from the
wrong standpoint and arguing for the
criminal as against society, social reg,
ulations, and prison management. the
hook js necessarily n failure from the
moral and ethical standpoint From
