Let him who is without sin

Now, brother, il has been we'll
settled among Bible students for
years that this old idea that Mary

was "a sinner" is entirely wrong.

has been for nearly two thousand
years confused with the woman

physician, give for Mary Magda-

insist, must continue to live In

there he must not only make his

argument for mutual confidence
and for amicable cooperation
for the common good of the two
races holds the unansNera bic

il yet remains that the practical

INSANITY AND MURDER.

The long disagreement of the jury
as to the responsibility of Hans
Schmidt for the murder of a young
woman he had debauched will again
direct public attention to the made
quacies of most of the laws of the
various states affecting pleas of in
sanity. If person should escape
from an asylum and commit homi-
eide, humanity would shrink from in
flicting punishment on the demented
offender But homicidal mania is
dangerous and any person who has
once yielded to it should be ever after
kept secured and harmless.
Except in cases of emotional insan-
ity, the raising of the plea in de-
tense against murder by an individual
whose competency had never been
questioned before the crime justifies
suspicion The case of Schmidt is
fragrant His attempt to procure
life insurance policy on the woman,
his connection with the counterfeiter,
the manner in which he sought to
conceal his crime and the duration of
his Illicit relations with the victim all
proved him an abnormal person, q
moral idiot, pervert or whatever name
is fitting to describe his monstrosity.
But there is no circumstance to war
rant him being regarded as insane, in
the sense that society should not hold
him responsible for his act. Guiteau
and Czolgosz could have made more
plausible plea of insanity. But they
were put out of the way, even as
Schmidt should be. While the jury |
was out in the Schmidt case, Robert |
Maroney, a magician in Cincinnati, |
killed his wife and their babe. He |
now talks of seeing devils and snakes |
in their eyes and is making out
clearer case of insanity without legal
aid than Schmidt did with help Of |
counsel
A criminal lawyer once wrote de-
Tense of Cain, showing that he was
insane when he slew his brother Abel.
The transfer of the affections of the
human family from himself to his
younger brother, followed by Jeho-
vah's favor to the supplanter, was
enough to cause emotional insanity
and the incoherent way in which he
replied to the questions of his Maker |
added to the proof. With strict
definition of sanity, no murderer was
ever sane. But there should be more
latitude in the legal definition of the
word. Men who have moved about
tor years among their fellows without
here being any suspicion as to their
sanity succeed, after revolving
rhine, in befuddling jurors by feign-
ng madness. The law should be
changed so as to be clear, instruc
ions of the court should be simpli-
led so they may be grasped by the
uror of average intelligence and
lienist witnesses should be forced
0 drop their polysyllabic patter and
ak in common language and adj
ress themselves to the common sense
t jurors. The Instructions of the
verage judge in a capital case, par
icularly where they cover the ques
ion of insanity, can not be compre
ended by the layman even though
e be but spectator, without the
ceiling of responsibility which so OPP
resses the inexperienced juror.
