Baals for Bsn'i Appeal.
The action of the supreme court on Rhea's
motion for a rehearing has left cpen for dis
pute the grave question of whether or not
a, man committing murder during the per
petration of a robbery can be convicted of
murder in the first degree. Rhea, wltfj
other men. entered a saloon in Snyder,
Neb., and demanded all persons therein to
throw up their hands. One of the trio
then rifled the cash register of It content
and during the commission of the robbery
Rhea shot and killed Herman Zahn, the
keeper of the place. A third man remained
on the sidewalk In front of the saloon anl
participated in the robbery by preventing
the bartender from escaping through the
window. The evidence. It was maintained
by the state attorneys, ahowed conclu
sively that robbery was Intended.
The statute under which Rhea was con
victed and sentenced to be executed was
everely questioned as to the provision
which was held by the attorneys for the
state to provide for conviction in the first
degree where It is shown that the murder
was committed during the commission of
a robbery. This contention wa supported
by Judges Sullivan and Holcomb. In a
memorandum Bled by Judge Sedgwick the
opposite position Is taken. The expression
ot Judge Sedgwick will be one of the
grounds upon which the plea for executive
clemency will be made.
Jadaie Sedgwick's Dissenting; Opinion.
Dissenting from the majority of the
court, Judge Sedgwick said: "The trial
court Instructed the Jury that the uninten
tional and accidental killing of a human
being la murder In the first degree, as at
the time of the killing the defendant was
engaged In attempting to perpetrate a rob
bery upon the person of the said deceased.
Thl wa the rule of common law, and
many of the states nave adopted It by
statute. Many; of the severe rules of the
common law have been modified by our
statutes upon the theory that crimes are
not prevented by too severe penalties
Some of the states have refused to legalize
the taking of human lite aa a punishment
forxcrlme. The tendency hss been and is
toward the adoption of more humane rather
than more severe penalties. We have ao
common law crimes fn our state. No man
can be punished for crime except In per
euaace of a plain statute defining crime
and providing tor the punishment.
"The language of the statute construed
by the Instruction referred to is: 'If aay
person shall purposely and -of deliberate
and premeditated malice or In the perpe
tration or attempt to perpetrate any rape.
arson, robbery or burglary or by adminis
tering poison or causing the same to be
done, kill another every person
so offending shall be deemed guilty of
murder In the first degree,' and the Instruc
tion la predicated upon -the construction of
thl itatute in Morgan against State, SI
. Neb.
"My mind refuses to o construe the
statute. The words 'In the perpetration or
attempt to perpetrate any rape, arson, rob
bery or burglary' have the same relation
to the word 'purposely' and to all other
parts of the section that the words 'by ad
ministering poison or causing the same to
be done' have."
After referring to three authorities that
were cited by the state. Judge' Sedgwick
continues: "To my mind these caaea seem
Inconsistent with each other and they cer
tainly are so unless the legislature Is with
out power to make the killing of a human
being by administering poison con
stitute murder when not done with the pur
pass of billing. That the statute make
- the same provision In precisely the asms
words In regard to killing while attempting
to perpetrate a robbery cannot be quss
tloned, ao that It no purpose to kill is
necessary In the- case to constitute the
erlme of murder It certainly cannot be la
tb other unless it Is not competent for
the legislature to so provide In the on
case but la competent la the other. But If
the legislature could not make the killing
by poison without the purpose to Kill mur
der, why change It with an attempt to do
so when the statute Is susceptible to an

other meaning? Not long ago by English

being engaged In any unlawful art, aVci

lature has abandoned that rule and It Is
not so unressonable to suppose that it was
the Intention of the legislature that no
one should be hanged for murder nnlee he
did the killing purposely, as It Is to sup
pose that it was Intended that one who
caused death by honeet mistake In the giv

of murder. If this statute does not make
the accidental killing of a person by ad
ministering poison murder in the first de
gree, then by .the same construction a
homicide committed In the perpetration of
robbery Is not murder in the first degree
unless the killing was purposely done."
trie Rales for Saloons.
During one brief session this morntna
the Excise board of this city rejected ens
application for saloon license, adopted a
rule prohibiting the sale of liquor In any
form whatever In drugstores, and proposed
a rule to exclude all billiard, pool and otbr
tables. Irrespective of their kind, shape or
use, and all chairs, excepting one for each
proprietor, from every saloon In the cltv.
The actions were taken without much loss
of time through discussion and the twentv
five or thirty saloon IterpTs who were pres
ent left the building wondering what wtult
happen next. The rule to exclude tables
and (hairs from the saloons was proposed
by Exciseman Finney and w.ll come up for
consideration at the next regular meeting
of the board. Mr. Finney declares the
board will insist on the enforcement ot
every provision of the Slocum law.
Only Alcohol In Drag Stores.
Under the rule adopted by the board
drugstores may sell alcohol and wood alco
hol but they are not allowed to keen any
other Intoxicating ilquld la their stock, the
mere presence thereof being declared prima
fade evidence that it Is kept for sale.
Milton McCoogan had Died an application
for permission to conduct a saloon at 1226
N street. A remonstrance was presented
by John E. Miller, of the Miller Paine
department store. A few remarks were
heard but no sworn testlmonv was taken.
Exciseman Finney moved to reject the ap
plication. The roll was called and the
board was unanimous In favor of th
motion.
"How long have I got to appeal?' asked
McCoogan.
"You can't appeal," quickly replied Ex
ciseman Woods.
Anti-Saloon League Walts.
At the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Anti-Saloon league of this city
today It was decided not to take any steps
towards a contest of the vote on the pro
hibition proposition In the city election
until after the official canvass Is completed.
The committee thought there had been con
siderable fraudulent voting in the First
ward but It wal conceded that the evidence
at hand would not warrant the commence
ment of contest proceedings. The vote will
be canvassed by the city council next Mon
day evening.
