IIOMiclbKS IN AMERICA.
Judge Parker Discusses the Causes la
the Jlorth American Review.
Judge I. O. Parker, of the United States
District Court of the Western district of Ar
kansas, discusses in the ourrent number of .
the North American Review the causes
and the remedy for the recent homicides in '
tho United State*. The facta are placed
before us In such a way that we cannot
contradict them. During the last six
years there have, been 48,<W3 homicides la
this country, and average of 7,817 per year,
within the same period there have been
728 executions and 1,118 lynching*. In the
Isst year 10,800 persons were killed, where*
as In 1800 there were only 4,390, or less than
half aa many. The figures prove that
homicidal crime Is increasing at an alarm
log rate. The ineffective administration of
the criminal law Is blamed for this state of -
affairs. David Dudley Field says so; JnsUco
Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court,
says so, and Judge Elliott Anthony, of Illi
nois, is of the tome opinion. Judge Parker
also agrees with the other exalted expouden ?
of the law, aad dweusenth# false sympathy
that Is always awakened for the erifdniSaSS
finds no tender expression for ti* rlsttn a
few days aft*r the erfsMkas bean j
Judge Parker note* the
cotBmnsity^M, large to the esfoTHBHSt of
the criminal law, and potata to tW tempi
verdicts which are the outcome of frandand
perjury.
