Not Justice-sut Punishment.

Not Justice-But Punishment.
The acquitta1 Of William v. Cleary
for the murder of Eugene NJ. Newman
is a failure Of justice, but there is In
the oo.merciful verdict neither dan
ger to society nor lack OF punishment.
When certain disclosures were
made l., him, Mr.. Clearyis said to have
/ remarked that the one only sorrow
worse than death had come. He was
mistaken. He was to learn that great
er grief than another's act had
wrought was still possible. It was
Brought upon him and upon others by
his own act when he killed his daugh-
ter's husband and spread Nationwide
the knowledge Of facts affecting no
one but his own family, concerning
which n wiser father would have kept
silence.
In tho sight OF living sorrow, the
jurytrted not the man at! the bar but
the unseen dead, as Juries have done
before and will do again. But It could
do no more. It could acquit before the
law Ut could not absolve: 1t could not
decree the mercy Of oblivion. So long
as he shall live, the released man must
bear, and must share with those whom
he holds dear; the burden OF remep.
brance.
Here Is no lackso o. expiatton. Here
in spIte ofsthe failure Of law and jus:

a man, however Wronged, must not
take the dealing out Of vengeance into
his own hands-New York World.

And giving a nod, up the cllinneyh he rose.
And \ away y they ali aew, like the down Of a thistle;
But heard him exclaim ere he drove out OF signI
merry Christmas to all, and to ALI good night
