CRUELTY.

The four gunner condemned to death
thai. died IN the electric chair at Sing
Sing Monday morning. Perhaps there
will ALWAYS h. somc doubt of their guilt
in i,e minds al some people. That j.
usually the ease when convictions are
procured either iv circumstantial cvi-
denrr or ny confessions Of accompliccs.
The ease of the gunner fully illustrates
hcw .rnel il is possible for civilization
"a he even when il il irving 10 b. n
humane as possible. The intent Of the
law j. Ia throw around the life Of all
persons accused Of crime every possible
safeguard. holding il better that ninety
and nine guilty persons should escape
than one innocent man should perish
Out Of that sentiment there has been
evolved u very complicated and elaborate
system Of legal machinery for saving the
lives Of condemned offenders: This ma
chinery has proved 30 efficient in the
saving If condemned men. that men un-
der sentence come To rely upon its 81
~licicncy "a save them 81 that they refuse
"a believe il can fail. That was the
ease Of the four gunner and their rela-
lives. They clung 10 hope Ia the last
minute. Relatives and friends most un.
wisely encouraged them To hope. al
though il has been apparent for several
DAYS that there was no ground for hope.
The unfortunate men were buoyed mp by
those %unfoundcd hopes. alternating be-
tween uncertainty and despair. dying a
dozen deaths in "a day. until their an
ticipatIonS were suddenly dashed. in the
last moments before the rNccmtioner
claimed them. The whole business was
nce,lcssly cruel. Admitted that Il Ger
tain element Of cruelty II inherent in all
public executions. there was needless and
foolish cruelty in this ease.
