A LATE SUMMARY. Mrs Ellen Allen, charged with the murder of, Mrs. Laura Graham at South Seattle, last Fall, has been acquitted by a Seattle jury on the ground that Mis. Allen was justified in believing that Mrs. Graham had alienated the affections of her hus band and was “ the despoiler of her home.” Here we have this vicious doctrine of the right of private ven geance for domestic wrong pushed to its logical extreme. If a man may be justly acquitted of murder on the plea that his victim had “ al ienated the affections of his wife.” then there is no avoidance logically of the conclusion that a woman may be justly acquitted of murder on the plea that “ the woman gave to my husband and he did eat ” If a man may sit pistol in hand in his domestic garden of Hesperides and justifiably kill auy man who plucks his golden apples, why may not a she-dragon, iD shape of his wife, sit pistol in hand and keep deadly watch and ward ovor the family tree? If the premise be sound that the husband has the right of private vengeance against a man, why, then, logically the wife has the same right of private vengeance against a wo man who "hypnotizes” her husband. There is no escape from this logic, grauting the soundness of the pre mise. The woman suffers as much by the alienation of her husband’s affections as a man does by the loss of a wife’s; probably more. A wo man is less capable of self-restraint than a man in the matter of wrong of this sort; for her fury she can plead quite as strong n case of re sistless provocation. Practically this leads to a very serious state of affairs, if every wronged wife is as free to execute private vengeance as every wronged husband, because the number of wronged wives prob ably greatly exceeds the number of wronged husbands. Add To this the number of men and woman who only pretend to have been wronged in order to execute an act of private veugcance and we have a social at mosphere that begins to grow ex ceedingly sultry and insalubrious. Of course there is only one effec tive cure for this state of things, and this is to go back to tho old-fashion ed doctrine that neither husband nor wife, has any legal right to abate real or fancied wrongs by an act of private vengeance. Until we do this we cannot complain if juries who turn “ injured” husbands loose also acquit “ injured” wives or women who commit murder. The most contemptible part of the Seattle affair is “ the reconcilement” of Mr. and Mrs. Allen. The woman goes back to the arras of a husband who has proved that he oanuot be trusted out of range of her eyes and her gun, and he goes back to tbe arms of a woman whose hands are red with the blood of bis paramour. “ Hypnotism” appears to have be come the latest refuge of every gay Lothario and faithless husband. Every honest man knows that wo men do not break down masculine virtue bv “ hypnotizing” good hus bands; it is all the other way. It is the man who pursues the woman and seeks to undermine her good resolu tions by appeals to her vanity, her cupidity, her affections and her pas sions. No honest man of sense ever ac cepts the plea of “ fascination as a good excuse for deserting a wife and committing adultery. A sane man when he $ina with a woman is bound to carry liis own cross and not plead that the “ hypnotizing,” fascinating “ she” did it. Mrs. Allen, if she knew anything in particular, which is doubtful, knojvs that conjugal fidelity that cannot stand exposure to the atmosphere of the outer world was dead before it was born. And yet this freak murderess resumes living with her “ despoiled” husband all smiles and kisses and singing “ Am I Not Fondly Thino Own?” It looks very much as if the Seattle case is one that was the legitimate outcome of “ the monkey marrying the baboon’s sister.” But then Seat tle is a “ freak” town. Its public that applauds the acquittal of Mrs. Allen ought to present her with the chromo “ God Bless Our Home” to help furnish out her “ pretty little flat.” Seattle rejoiced a few years ago over the acquittial of tho pros titute that killed Thomas H. Boyd. — Sunday Oregon, Portland, Or.
