St. Louis, May 5. Increased effi

The report shows that the Missouri

convicted ia Kentucky nearly a year
ago and given life imprisonment for
J the murder of a young woman.
At the trial another woman swore
that she was an eye witness to the
crime, and a considerable array of cir
cumstantial evidence was presented to
corroborate her testimony. At the
time of Dabney's conviction, practic
ally everyone felt that the verdict
was just.
Yet, a few week? rgo the woman
v,ho was supposed to have been mur
dered, showed up and Dabney was re
leased, but think of what he and hS;laIld river3 astounding old time river
family suffered by the diabolical at-! n vho rare wm undcrtake tc
tempt to swear his life away. Suppose
he had been executed for the allegfed
crime.
Many cases are of record in which
it was proved later that innocent per
sons have actually been put to death
through perjured testimony. In some
instances in which the condemned
men have confessed murder the sup
posed victims have turned up alive.
All this illustrates how unreliable
the most convincing evidence may be,
and while it is doubtless true that
for every innocent person punished
a dozen guilty ones escape, it shows 1
that a grave responsibility re?"t upon I
& jury, particularly when a human
life is at stake.
