Louis distillers did not pay the tax on whiskey, but they divided with Joyce and others that these might not report their delinquency. Déubtless the fact that rings have now been discovered in France and the fact that they are perennial here will be put together as the foundation for a theory that they are peculiar to republics. Let not the theorist be too fast. This Parisian poultry ring was “organized in the brilliant days of the Em- ‘pire, and its discovery accounts fora circum- stance that was for years a mystery—namely, why so many people who got positions under the Empress’ influence were satisfied with “paltry little places in the market.” Salary was no object. Executions Yesterday — Capital Panishment. Yesterday was a day of executions, not fewer than five murderers being hanged at Fort Smith, in the Indian Territory, while in this city John Dolan met his doom on the gallows for the murder of Mr. Noe. The srimes for which these six men suffered were all of the most fiendish character, and in nearly every case the conviction was ob- tained on circumstantial evidence. As in the case of Dolan, whose possession of Noe's watch brought him to the gallows, most of the Fort Smith murderers were found to have in their hands some article belonging to their victims. In murder trials it is seldom that better evidence than this can be ob- tained, as it, is not often that the crime is witnessed by any one except the criminals, and when it is supported by corroborating proofs conviction is a necessity; but we doubt the wisdom of capital punishment when conviction is based only upon circum- stances. We do not think there is any rea- sonable doubt of Dolan’s guilt, but there are persons who believe he was not the mur- derer of Noe, Should it ever be ascertained that he was indeed innocent his exeqution would not be a thing merely to be regretted, but it would be regarded as a reproach to our civilization in all subsequent time... Yet we cannot see that any other course was open either to the Court or the Governor than to enforce the full penalty of the law. It is the law in such cases that is at fault. When only circumstantial evidence is ad- duced on .a trial for murder imprisonment for life wquld be far preferable to the death pepalty, and then it would not be possible to injure the innocent beyond all remedy. Dolan’s case directs anew attention to this subject, and while his execution was a ne- cessity the possibilities of his innocence will make many persons think less favorably of capital punishment than was usual in the past.
