Swift Justice.

New York courts are speeding up in
an effort to cope with crime. March
81 a. gang Of young men, known To-
cally as the Cake Eaters" raided a
restaurant in Jamaica, Long Island,
and left the proprietor dead on the
floor when they departed. Five were
captured and within "a remarkably
short time the leader, d youth of
eighteen years, was put OH trial. Yes
terday he was convicted of murder in
the first degree. He acknowledged
that he had fired the shot that caused
the death of the victim. His defense
was that he had been drinking, and
that when he was under the influence
of intoXicants he did not know what
he was doing" The court in its in
structions to the jury held that in
toXication is not regarded by the
law as an excuse for the commission
Of q crime. The jury was prompt in
rendering its verdict. On Monday the
prisoner will be sentenced TO death,
three weeks and a day after the slay-
ing.
There are two encouraging factors
in this case. The first is the speed
with which justice has been admin
istered. The second is the sweeping
away of the defense of irresponsibility
on the score of intoXication. Counsel
for the accused youth. pleading for
his client, said of the gang: "They
were just bunch of kids gone wrong.
taking joy rides. drinking booze and
Just raising the deuce generally" He
therefore asked for a modified verdict
Had it been rendered there would
have been miscarriage Of justice.
These young men, like a great
many others of these days. were ut
terly Indifferent to law There are
thousands Of their kind in the large
cities. Many of them are getting
away with it," as they say themselves,
headed straight for professional crime.
carrying guns, thinking to make a
living by loot and rot by working.
The punishment of this gang, whose
leader has just been convicted. will
perhaps be deterrent. In any case,
it has been shown by the course of
the New York court that the game
they are playing is a deadly one. and
the hope is that some of those who
are thus defying law and flirting
with death will be sobered into reali-
zation that they are risking their lives
in their criminal pastimes.
