l. charged. He drove machine after a nights

for manslaughter. The jury acquitted him. Judge
Macintosh roundly roasted the jury-deservedly
so.
Yet neither jury nor Egan should be too Sc
verely condemned. People learn by example, just
as children do II parents are bad, the chances are
the children will grow up vicious, too.
If Patroman Egan lacked the right sort Of
example from his superiors and got drunk because
the men to whom he had right to look up to also
went on sprees and reveled in barrooms and cafes,
he is to be pitted almost as much as censured
