The appointment by President Wilson
of Arthur p. Carpenter of Brattleboro as
United States marshal for Vermont
seems to have been well.advised, as Mr..
Carpenter brings to the important posi-
ton great deal of experience in mat.
tiers that must surely have trained him
for the new work, as he has practiced
law for some years, has been town at
torney in Brattleboro half dozen years
and has been a justice of the peace.
Moreover, he has already served two
months in that capacity as successor to
the late Horace w Bailey of Rutland,
so that he has gained working knowl-
edge of the Office. incidentally, it might
be remarked that the appointment of
Mr.. Carpenter will be likely to have its
influence in determining selections for
other federal positions in Vermont since
federal patronage would not naturally
be bestowed twice in one town when
there are capable men in other places
aspiring to the appointments.

THE "GUNMEN's" EXECUTION.

In the light of Acknowledgements in
the case, the execution of the four New
York City gunner" for the murder Of
n man of their own station in life does
not cause such shudder as did the
first announcement that all the four men
met death stolidly and without word
of direct bearing on one of the most
notorious criminal cases to develop in
the United States for many years. OF
course, there is the natural horror at
the thought of taking human life even
in expiation for the sacrifice of another
life; but that horror is intensified many
fold when the condemned go to their end
without confession and leaving the world
i'm doubt whether, after all, men inno-
cent of the crime have not been ex-
ecuted. Human nature shrinks at such
a possibility. Therefore, comes a meas
;ure of relief when the condemned, in his
last breath, admits there is about to be
no miscarriage of justice and that he
was guilty of the charge brought against
him.
So in the case at hand the gloom sur
rounding the quadruple execution at
Ossining is somewhat dissipated by the
statement of one of the four men Just
prior to going to the electric chair,
statement which causes assurance that
all the four men were concerned in the
plot which eliminated in the eowardly
assassination of a fellow-man-a cow
ardly crime even though that fellow
man may not have been more val
liable member of society than were his
slayers. Thus the world knows that a
black stain of crime was not deepened
four-fold by the legal taking of other
lives.
However, there is even yet POSSIBLE
ity that there may be miscarriage of
justice in this most notorious case; and
hence there is need for going slowly in
determining the fate of the fifth man
who stands convicted of crime in like
degree. The statement of one of the
gunner" declaring that Charles Beck
er was not, so far as he knew, connected

with the killing of Rosenthal should be
weighed carefully in the further DELHI
Grafton on that mans case. Given in
the very shadow of death, such state
ment would be likely to be tempered by
the truth; and, on the other hand, there
is possibility that the gang engaged
for the slaughter of Rosenthal was kept
in ignorance of all the details of the
plot save as to the actual killing. In
any event, the statement ought to have
weight in the case to come up later.
