LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER JTEUDAY JUNE 15.1883. J Jlancastet WdUBdtetegS&wa: FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE Ifr Igj- The Killing or Dukes. When DukejLwas acquitted of the murder of Nutt this journal did net hes itate te express its opinion that there was that intbe evidence upon which the jury could conscientiously base their verdict that the act was done in self defense. We declined te fall in wan me general objurgatien of the jury for net convicting Dukes of murder, because of the belief that he had been guilty of seduction and traductien. These were offences for which he was indictable under the law, and in our judgment his guiltiness of them was te be determiued by his indictment for them and was net the i3sue in his trial for murder. Fer some inscrutable reason he was net in dieted for seduction or for libel ; but new, en the very, eve of the hearing that was te be civen te the question as te whether he Avas a seducer and libeler, and, therefore, unfit te be a member of the bar which wa3 te be inquired into en the proceedings for his disbarment that were set down for this day Dukes is shot by the son of Nutt en the streets of TJniontewn while he is seeking te escape from his assailant and without the pretense that he was putting the man who slew him in jeopardy. Nutt, the father, had sought Dukes in his apartment, and it was claimed en behalf of Dukes; and se concluded by the jurs', that he had been shot while making an assault that he had pre viously threatened te make with intent te kill. Nutt, the son, kills a fleeing man who. it is conceded, was net assail ing him. Upen its face it was a deliber ale murder. It resembles closely the late killing iu Kentucky by Congress man Thompson ; of which he was ac quitted by the jury en the ostensible ground that he could net control his actions because of the deep perturbation of his mind by reason of the injury that he believed had -been done his wife by his victim. A like plea will ba made for Nutt ; that he wan irresponsible be cause of the condition of his emotions, under the killing of his father and the seduction of his sister. Net that he was insane, butsimply that he. was emotional. But everyone knows that this thin ex cuse is net the one that really acquitted Thompson, nor is it the one that is ex pected te acquit Xutt. Kenluekysenti mentsaid that Thompson was justifiable in killing his wife's seducer Pennsyl vania sentiment is expected te say that Nutt was right in killing his sister's seducer. We are surprised and pained te find respectable newspapers defending the act of Nutt and net seeking even te (lis guise the fact tint it was an utterly lawless one. The evil reputation which Dukes bore leads these editors, who should be the conservators of the law, te indulge in logic and sentiments which overturn all law. It is lynch law openly defended ; the execution of private ven geance publicly applauded, it is wrong. We conceive tluit it must be :,e held by the clear mind of every geed citizen. All such must feel that if the individual is te ne uerimlted te wreak his vengeance upon his fellow by his own hand,' there is an end of our government of law. The lav mav be faulty and its mmisteis may often fail te punish the guilty ; but he, who says that this is a geed rea son why the individual citizen should b. permitted te define and execute the law, 13 an apestle of wiaichy and himselt needs the regimen, thefailme of which te the wrong deer he se loudly bewails. We have waited a day te expr.-'-is our judgment that the act of Nutt tails clearly within the law's definition of murder and needs te ha punished as such for the protection of the community. It is lime that the lessen was taught tlsat te the law and the law alone niusi be confided the tri il and punishment nt alleged crime. We de net believe that we leach tnis judgment through any prejudice against Nutt. It is tee plain a conviction for the reasonable mind te resist. It is triif that we have net been able te run with the sentiment that would have hui-g Dukes without the sanction of a jury. "We have, a strong prejudice iu favor of trial by jury. We beheve thai a man should be fairly tried before he is con victed and punished. We awaited with interest the testimony in the disbarment proceedings against Duke?, wherein he would have had au opportunity te show cause, if any he had, against the. public condemnation of him for traducing and seducing one claimed te be a pure wemau. Why was Dukes slain, just prier te this investigation, with the re sult ihat the suspicion inevitably will arise that he was killed te suppress the inquiry ? After se long waiting the time was net happily chosen. It may have been done without this depp in tent; but it? premeditation and deliber ation arc tee conspicuous te be denied ; and it is clear that it cannot be defend ed or pass unpunished without contumely of the law. The Star Reute Thieves Acquitted. The great poet of England, who se well understood the secret springs which move the human heart and mould human conduct, has said : ' Plate sin wltfc geld and the strong luncc of imticc liuriless breaks ; Clethe It In Tajjs and a plmy straw delli pierce It:" The acquittal yesterday, by the jury at Washington, of the Star Reute conspira tors, whose trial has been going en for the past several months, has attracted profound attention ever the country. The magnitude of the sums of money fraudulently taken from the treasury, amounting te millions of dollars, had awaluned rublic attention te the de velepments of the trial, and the public mind was satisfied that the defendants were guilty of robbing the public treas ury of the vast sums of money charged against them. In any ether place than Washington city it would scarcely have been possible te find twelve men who would net have convicted the. defendants of the offences charged iu the indict ments, against them. Rut the moral atmosphere of Washington is such (hat plundering the national treasury is as involving any leas ms a crime against the public. There the means of living of nearly the entire population 'is derived, directly or indirectly, .rrem the money disbursed from the public treas ury, and it results from this that a strong feeling has grown up, that te steal from the government is no crime. "With this sentiment permeating the . moral atmos phere of that city the citizen is prepared te regard complaisantly these who prey upon the treasury, and te be impatient with these who leek upon the robbery of the public with the same eyes as upon the robbery of individuals. With men who are surrounded with sentiments se perverted, it is easy te refuse te believe testimony pointing te guilt, and by re fusing te believe such testimony, acquit the persons charged with the crime. Although the defendants are acquitted of the crime by aWashingten jury, and a Washington population may glorify the defendants, iu their escape from the punishments meted out by law te tluwe found guilty of the crimes for which these Star Reute conspirators were in dicted, there is a tribunal which will ever held them guilty the tribunal of unbeught public opinion. Frem its judgment there is no escape. This case will pass into history as one of the great successful frauds upon the government by which the people were robbed of millions of dollars, and these by whom the fraud was perpetrated went unwhipped of jus tice. Te the future generations of the United States who may investigate and familiarize themselves with the facts of this case, the marvel will be hew could the jury reconcile their consciences te bringing in a verdict of acquittal. Tun fellow who wrete "Trial by Jury" must have had the " twelvd geed men and true" of Washington in his mind's oye. They have discoverod a new conspiracy in Dublin. Why in the world didn't these fellows coma te Washington ami join in with the gang there ? It's a quite safe thing always. The dynatnite conspirators were aenten ced in England yesterday te penal servi tude for life ; in America the Star Reute conspirators get scot free. The former didn't have a chance te de auything ; the latter did all they could. Justice appears te he cresseyed iu both countries. If you have tears, prepare te shed them new," shouted the antique Ingersoll and the feuutains of their eyes were opened and Dorsay cried, Brady blubbered, their whole household howled, and with osculatery effusiveness wandered all ever Inaersell's face. Surely, it was a picture for the gods te sraile upon. Judge IIeadley, of Cincinnati, doesn't seem te knew nor eare whether he will be nominated te oppose Ferakor, hut he speaks with no uncertainty a3 te the peli tie.xl situation in Ohie : ' We have every thing our own way," said he te a reporter, " and the Democrats will just as certainly carry Ohie as that the suu will set en the day of election. The Republicans arc se split up and at war with each ether that thev are totally demoralized. Charles Ferstei is at the head of a pseudo temper ance movement that has thoroughly an tagonized the German elqmeut He get control et the convention and nominated Judirc Ferakor. who is hardly known out of Cincinnati He is, besides, a man of s.n.ill experience, and the people will he afraid te trust him. They never will rally about him as ihtty might have done about a man who wai well known and popular." Naturally for commendable reasons, Secretary Teller has asked the war de partment te hand ever te him the childicn of the murderous Apaches, that they may be pin cod in the Indian schools. It is a very geed and sensible idea, but the parents should net be forgotten. They need even mere lestrainiag influence than their offspring. Seme of them in fact swm te need and certainly deserve the full rjitraiut of the gallows. They have per petrated deeds of torture and murder that their faths'r.-j of earlier days with all their cruelty could net surpass Secretary Tel ler should net forget this, and while he urges the exertion of the ameliorating agencies of the Indian schools en the tawney youngsters of the plains, he should soethatit the wicked ,: bucks" are net dangled at the rope's end they should be effectually seittercd among, the various reservations and se far as is possible affil iated with the different tribes living there en. As a uuited tiibi the Apaches will continue te commit their atrocities when ever opportunity offers, and it is only by a stringent separation" that this can be avert ed, and their terrible tribal preclivites re moved. SHAKING II AN US The Meedy vmm Between Butler and tievr Orleans Closed. At Bosten the Continental Gnard3 were ontcrtained at the annual dinner of the National Lancers Thursday afternoon and evening. Seme GOO sat down, and the oc casion was a very interesting one. Anion-? the guests were Governer Butler and Majer Patnier, both of whom made speeches. Governer Butler extended a hearty welcome te the guests. He said : ' A most glorious result of the recent war, which one would say should net have been fought, would be in the coming contest and come one must when there will be unity of former enemies fighting shoulder te shoulder." The Continentals came from New Orleans, which euce he entered as an enemy, but left it as their friend. In conclusion, speaking te all as fellow citizens with common interests, the gever nor said : " We have common gteries te gain hereafter. It may be against ene mics which once were the uniforms you wear, including the red-coated lancers ; it certainly will be if any provocation is Hivenus" The speech was well received and heartily applauded. The Pennsylvania Editors. About two hundred members of the Pennsylvania Editorial association, many of them accompanied by their families, arrived at Fortress Menree Wednesday and Thursday en their annual excursion. The Norfolk newspaper men extended an invitation te them te visit that city, which was largely accepted, the party going upon the Old Dominion steamer. They leave for Richmond te-day where they will spend a day or two, returning home via Washington. STAB BOUTE VERDICT. DiriEXDANn OKOLABKO MOT GUILTI. Meenea of excitement I the Coen Bees, Pcllewed by s Drunken Kevel Hiss ing and Hewling Like a Meb. The words " Net guilty " in the crim inal court room at Washington Thursday morning started an immense assemblage te cheering, which the president judge made no attempt te cheek. The speaker was Foreman Crane, of the Star Reute jury, and his associates, when asked by the' clerk of the court if his words express ed their convictions, nodded in acquies cence. There was no apparent trace of sleeplessness in any of the jurymen, but all appeared fresh and bright, including Jurer Vernen, who created such an excite ment Wednesday by falling in a drunken fit. As the words et the foreman vibrated through the court room the spectators without an exception cheered, and these neaiest the defendants congratulated them heartily. Ex-Senater Dersey was con spicuous for his absence, but his brave little wife was en hand and seemed the most enthusiastic member of the assem bly ever the acquittal of her husband. General Brady maintained the same air of indifference that has characterized him throughout this remarkable trial, but Miner, Vaile and Jehn Dersey manifested their exultation by joining the shouting, excited throng around them and lending their voices te the chorus. Judge Wylie, attired in black broadcloth coat and trousers, white duck vest, buttoned high ever his chest aud black necktie and stand ing white cellar, sat dignified but appar cntly dazed by the announcement of the foreman, since be made no euert te check the tumult about him. Counsel for the defense sat in a line at their tables, sur rounded by handsomely dressed ladies, in a majority of cases members of their families, but the government only had one representative at the counsel table Mr. W. W. Ker, the Philadelphia indictment drawer. Fer a few minutes the noise in the epurt room was se great as te render it impos sible for anything like orderly proceeding, I but finally the crowd recognized the clear cut features of Mr. Walter Davidge, one of the counsel of the defense, as he tower ed above the assemblage from a conven ient table. IJe wanted the verdict recorded legally and when this was Concluded the crowd breke out again with loud huzzas. Nene of the adherents of the defense were absent from the court room and they profited by the opportunity te show their feelings, while the pictures of Clay, Wash ington. Jacksen and Corcoran which orna ment the walls of the court room appeared te frown disapprovingly down upon such a scene in the temple of justice. The discharge of the jury was the signa for a rush of congratulatory spectators, and each of the jurymen was subjected te a vigorous handshaking process. Mrs: Dersey, Mrs. Peck and Murilla Ricker, after standing en chairs and screaming, laughing and sobbing alternately, some hew get out of the crowd and organized an impromptu camp meeting in the near est corridor. They sang, cried and acted for all the world like demented beings. Peer Ker, out of place in such a crowd, get out also and slipped quietly away, while Rerdell went off by a side deer and hurried down te Merrick's office te bear the evil news. The crowd then poured pell-mell into the street, still shouting and throwing up their hats, soma of them without knowing just what it was all about, but catching the enthusiasm by in fection. Acress the street te " The Hele in-the. Wall" they rau, quickly jamming the bar room. Up stairs sat ex-Senater Dersey. He was neitner eund te the situation nor deaf te the riuging cheers. Calling te the proprietor he ordered free entertainment, solid and liquid, and in a very short time the scene of enthusiasm and excitement was changed te one of drunken revel. Meanwhile Mrs. Dersey and two or three ether ladies get up stairs and, having ex hausted their lungs, fell te kissing. Mrs. Ricker threw her arms about Dersey's neck and gave him a smack that startled the crowd. Fer a moment the senator must have been sorry he wasn't cenvhted. Colonel Ingersoll, like the geed husbaud in the books, kissed his own wife until her bright eyes sparkled with pleasure. Iu Iu gersell cried, Miner sobbed, Vaile fairly blubbered and, taken all in all, a large quantity of teais were shed in aud about the court heuse. Thursday afternoon the defendants en joyed aa ovation wherever they went. Brady iu front of the Western Union telegraph office was surrounded by friends, who cengratalated him en the successful issue of the trial. Brady looked smilingly happy aud held his head up like a man who was no longer hunted. Colonel In In gersel, surrounded by his wife and beauti ful daughters in bin library, held an informal reception. Jerry Wilsen, with a cigar as big as his arm in his mouth, steed comfortably around with his hands in his pockets. Dersey seen shook off his admirers and went hema with his wife. The rest of the counsel for the defense were equally sought. The lawyers for the government were nowhere te be seen. Attorney General Brewster shut himself up and denied ac cess te newspaper men. Ker took the afternoon train for Philadephia. Merrick sat with Rerdell iu his inner office. Bliss couldn't be found for some time, and when he was he had nothing te say, except that twelve men disagieed with the government in this case. The fact is, the lawyers for the prosecution knew beforehand what the verdict was likely te be. IfOKSEV'S NEW DAHGEK. A Possibility That He nay Have te Answer for Jiylge Ltllley'd Death. Almest (simultaneously with the acquit tal of Dersey news reached the court room that Judge Lilley, father of ex Deputy City Auditor Lilley, had died. "Old man Lilley " as he was familiarly known, was at ene time very friendly with the ring, he is said te have profited pecuniarily by his friendship. A tew weeks age he called at Dersey's house The two men became involved in a dispute and Dersey, who is mnch the younger and stronger, knocked Lilley down, kicked him in the stomach and threw him from the heuse. Fer a long time Lilley lay ill. As seen as he was able he entered suit against Dersey for damages for atault and battery. It is said that his death was indirectly caused by the injuries received at Dersey's hands. A pest mortem will be made, and if it is found that Dersey's blows caused the old man's death, the ex senator may find him self defendant in a mere serious action than one for conspiracy. THE TKIAIS COST. Seme of the Amount Received by the Gov ernment Lawyers. The trial whieh has just closed is re markable for two things its length and its expense. It is said te be the longest trial en record, beginning December 4, 1882, aud, therefore, having lasted nearly seven months, while the expense attending It and the first trial wili be net less than $500,000 for the government alone. In addition te the usual machinery at its command three Special attorneys and a score of detectives have been employed, while about 100 witnesses were called, many of them from a great distance. The defendants' expenses have a Ise been very great, and have caused a heavy draft ea them. Of the payments made by the govern gevern govern mentte the special atternevs. Bliss reeAiv. ed $42,28.18 ; Merrick 932,000 and Ker $27,872 48. Attorney General Brewster has drawn $5,000 ; 8peeial Agent Gibsen, $5,000 ; Cook, $6,949,18, and Allan A Pinkerton, the detwtive, ,.. Other payments have yet te te .alp which will considerably increase, thliti woents. TK XET. BUVXHENT. Dersey New Tlimal t a'Wamber of Newspapers far 'Libel. New that the Star Reute cases have fallen through it is stated that ex-Senater Dersey will turn his attention te a scheme once alluded te in these dispatches. That is a series of libel suits. A year age Dor Der sey declared that he should bring suits against the newspapers which were defam ing him, and he is new ready te begin. It is said that he ha3 carefully preserved the record of certain prominent newspapers and has a scrap book of their news and editorial utterances. What he wants is damages and damages in swell number and amount. He will take the New Yerk Timet, Herald and Sun, the Philadelphia Times and Press and the Washington Star at first, as a kind of a starter, and grad ually work westward, scooping in the newspaper surplus cash at Cincinnati, Chicago and ether towns, and wind up business for the Qlobs-Demeerat and Republican at 8t. Leuis. Dersey evidently thinks this will pay better than the Star Reute contracts. THE JU11V. A Set el Ignorant, Incompetent Men. The majority of the jury was composed of ignorant men, incompetent intelligent ly te consider the subtle points in the case. Crane, the foreman, is said te ba a man of aggressive disposition, possessed of some mental ferce. He favored the ac quittal of each of the defendants, and undoubtedly influenced his weaker asso ciates. It is apparent, however, that a majority of the jury were for acquittal from the start, only three of them Messrs. Green, Sheriff and flerrigau believing that the proofs of the alleged conspiracy wero satisfactory. Had the charge been embezzlement it is possible, but-net probable, that a verdict of guilty would have been rendered. The honesty of the jury seems te be-generally admitted and no attempt te set aside the verdict will be made. The bribery charges that were se freely made en both sides at the first trial are net new repeated The ceunsel for the government attribute what -they . term the outrageous verdict te the ignor ance of the jury, the defective criminal laws of the District of Columbia, which de net permit the ompaueling of a special jury and limit the number of the govern ment's challenges, and te the low tone of public morals in the city.

THIS DISPOSAL OF CROOK'S CAPTIVES. The Creeks en tbe Warpath Other Late News Frem .Every Direction and or Varied Interest. The Indians captured by General Creek will be held as prisoners of war until the interior department is prepared te take charge of them. " Twe considerations will have weight in determining where te put them. First, the importance of lo cating them at sueh a distance from the Mexican border that they will be unable te repeat their periodical raids ; and sec ond, te avoid bringing them in contact with ether tribes who are new well dis posed and peaceable, but upon whom they might exert an evil influence." Secretary Teller has written a letter te Secretary Lincoln snggesting that the captured In dians "should be held as prisoners and punished for their crimes," and that their children should be taken from them and sent te school. It is reported from the Indian Territory that en Tuesday morning twenty Creek light-horse men, of the Cbicete faction, attacked a settlement of Spieche's parti sans near Tulsa, en the Arkansas river, killing one of them and wounding two or three ethers. Theso attacked had re turned te their homes from Fert Gibsen by permission of Colonel Bates and with a premise of protection. It is feared that unless measures are promptly taken the outrage may lead te a renewal of the bloody contest batween the two Creek factions. A telegiam from Tombstone, Ari., says that Gen. Creek left Silver Creek en Wed nesday morning, and after several hours' march encamped at a place called Joyce's.

' SESIENOEU FUR MFK. Penal servitude the Penalty of tne Dyna mite Plotters. The jury at Londen, in the case of tbe dvnamitn p.ensniratnrs. Dr. Gallachnr. -y ".:.- " . - ' Wilsen, Whitehead, (Jurtin, Ansburgb and Bernard Gallagher have found the first four guilty, and they have been sen. tenced te penal servitude for life, while the two latter have been acquitted. Iu closing the case for tbe defense Mr. Clark, Q. C, challenged the crown te point te a smgle syllable of the evidence given at the trial, outside of that of the informer Lynch, which showed that the intention of the prisoners was te assail the author ity of the crown or te overawe Parlia ment. He declared that Bernard Gal lagher's statement contained no evidence against anybody but himself White head addressed the jury himself. He said there was no evidence te show that the nitre glycerine found in his fac tery was intended for au illegal purpose. He declared that it was meant for mining purposes, like thousands of tens of the sama article made in England every year. The press has exaggerated his case. He exhorted the jury te deal with it im partially as they would with any ether case. Ausburgh declared that he was as innocent as Ged Almighty of the charge preferred against him. Mr. Mathewson admitted that Bernard Gallagher had a general knowledge of the hostile designs of. the dynamiters, but said it must be remembered that he was a resident of Brooklyn and. could net be judged by the same standard as an English man was. It was a matter of common knowledge that plots existed in America for the manufacture of dynamite for use against England, almost with the cenniv ance of the American government. Justice Brett declared that counsel had no right te make such a remark. He said there was no proof of the existence in America of plots or of connivance thereat en the part of the government of that coun try. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge also rebuked Mr. Mathewson for his lemark. He said : "I think it is only due te our friendly relations with a great government that you unreservedly with draw your statement." Mr. Mathewson said he would gladly accede te the ruling of the court. When the defense closed Lord Chief Justice Coleridge chaiged the jury at some length, and they immediately retired. They remained out only a short time. After sentence had been pronoun cod Dr. Gallagher said the time would ceme when the matter would be put right before the world. Dr. Gallagher kissed and shook hands with his brother and Ansburgb. Whitehead, Wilsen and Cur tin each shook hands with Bernard Galla gher and kissed Ansbnrgh fervently.
