Wallstres New YorkI has© my conclusions mainly upon the testimony of the lt;Hirers themselves, as to what was said i d done to bringabout the confessi r, -..nd from thissource I am satisfi d the defendant wa led to tear that t-be tons Id be sent to if she did not m^Ue n confession and i f she did tell tli^ -a hnS* uuth she would bepermitted to reii r.»h me. The supremecourt in 12 Ind. uge 101 6ays:“What shall bt considered such a threa as excludes contest ions has been illustrated, thus Sijing to a prisoner “it would that it would be worse for him ifhe did not conicis1’ is sufficient to exclude the confession. Bo a confession induced by saying “unless vou give me a more satisfactory account, I will take you before a magistrate”; or by saying “that unfortunate watch has been found, and i you don't tell me who your partner was I wiil commit you to prison” cannot be given in evidence.”This authority I am compelled by law to obey, and under it 1 think this confession is not admissible. Much was said in argument in relation to acts of police officers in obtaining confessions trom ptrsous charged with crime.They may sometimes in their zeal in behall of the public go too far in attempting to obtain confessions from persons in their custody. Nearly all confessions thus obtained had to have such an array of corroborating circumstances as to have no question about the admission otthe confession in evidence 1 have no recollection of a case before this in my practice during the last twenty-fiveyears where a confession was offered andexcluded because of its having been produced by threats caused by fear.The community looks largely to our police for protection against criminals,and they are generally very efficient.Had Mr. Dwyer understood the orders given to him by Mr. Vandever in a whisper and carried them out, it is probablethis confession ii made would have been admissible.1 am not deciding whether the confession ie true or not. It matters not if it i3 true as the gospel. If obtained by fear produced by threats, in words or actions the law excludes it. From what I can learn of the facte in the confession being incompetent there is no probability of a case being made against the defendant and I suggest to the prosecutor that the public interest does not require a futtjftrproslt;£Uii9B ?f ?bs cause,I wish to bear fftimony io the able and efficient manner tbe case has been prepared and prosecuted by Mr. Henry. He has giveu it his undivided attentionsince the arrest of defendant and whethera crime has been committed or not, thepublic have good reason to be satisfied Mr. Henry and ih? officers of the law have done all in their power to enforce the law. The defendant will be required to enter into bail in the sum of $500 lor the appearance be lore the court from dayto day.”THE HOPE oTtHE NATIONChildren slow in development, puny, scrawny and delicate, use “Wells* Health Renewer.”A Disinterested Offer.Hlt; nry Tate says that Deputy Sheriff Seeburcer has off.red to teach a class of 25 colored men, four evenings in each week, if they will organize and obtain theuse of the school house.
