Seattle Goes Us One Better.
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.
