That, we understand, |[^^|Jpans!a-ughter, earning at the most jferj!. 'Bnty years' imprisonment. With a Iflllll^Krking acquaintance with the resaon B the law now existing, we neverthe Bj are of the opinion that it toe ne was committed as alleged in cases of this type, the guilty party aid give his .life in the death ir for the life that vas blotted out I J his criminal recktessness and lawJssness. It is a fixed principle of Iw-that a man is presumed to know pd intend the consequences of his fcts. When a chauffeur drinks liq 'or he krows that it may render him acompetent to operate a car careulTr and may cause him to kill his ellowheino-s.

If |^wt is possible under the law to do it, P^The existing States in this State. i should be so amended as to make the fkilHnc of a human heme- bv a drunken or otherwise <rros??lv reckless -driver eons+ltnte the crime of murder and call for the d^ath penalty.

Xcthing can help poor Chief Sa.m Heath now. For him v>e can do nothing, but we can do something to pre vent the recurrence of such tragelies. We can provide by law for increaof ing tte penalty in such cases to life imprisonment, if not to execution. We can provide by law for the licensing of all automobile drivers, requiring strict and conclusive proof that they arc not addictel to the use of intoxicants and thr-t they arc careful and petent drivers. These things can le donf it tne iorce 01 yuan:; o<)imuu ;s> exerted upon the next legislature. The-State of South Carolina is permitting unfit and untrustworthy persons to operate automobiles upon the public highways, contrary to the welfare of the people. The public safety is in jeopardy.

If full justice could be securel in this case, the man who sold the liquor that negro drank would be arraigned beside him, not as accessory, but as joint principal. Thp moral of yesterday's tragedy needs no elaboration. for it is as clear as the s i. ! i THE LA1T OF THE CASE \ The News has received the following communication from Senator ; Proctor A. Bonham "as to the law that ? *Virk l/illlmr r?f rThi<vf Sam Ill tt} 5UIC1U vut nttwu9 v ?

Geo Johnstone.. "Mark you, I said some/' j Your mistake was in assuming that j the slajTer of Sam Heath could be conI victed of no higher crime than man| slaughter. He will be indicted for murder and, if the facts and circumj stances justify it, can be convicted of I murder. Our law does not specify Tvhat-instrument must be u?ei. in complishf*v death, to constitute murder. What the law does reqnire is j that malice exist at the time that ! j ?

The News is glad to be corrected on this point by so eminent a master o? criminal jurisprudence and practice as Senator Bonham, whose Ions' and successful experience as Solicitor of the Thirteenth Circuit amply qualifies him to speak with finality as to the matter The doubt that held us to the belief that an indictment for murder could not lie. arose over the question of malice, but, as Senator Bonham states, that need n^t be specific.

The Ne*s is aavised that Solicit r Martin holds a similar view of the lew of the case and will indict the driver of the car for murder. The liability that reckless drivers who say their fellow-beings will be indicted for murder and may be cont victed thereof ought to impress oth.T driven with the vital necessity for di:e care in operating automobiles. I? they, with wanton negligence, en.-] the lives of others, they themselves may forfeit their lives for t^e^r :<is. regard of th,-> law. That possibH i ~ ouaht to sober the driver who uses intoxicants steady the hand and slow the speed of the joy-rider who treats the public highways as private raretracks.
