GEISSQM ACQUITTED, " After a month of taking of testi mony, squabbling over pointsof law, and" speech-making, Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent of the Raleigh Insane Asylum, has been acquitted of the charges for which witnesses, with-the. Rogers leuers thrown in, which we never, did be lieve ought to have been admitted, yet we never had the slightest idea that Grissom would bo found guilty hy the "jury" before , whom he was tried. We honestly believe-that thev went there biased in favor of Grissom and remained so through the trial, and it was simply trying a man before a set of men who had made up their minds to clear him when they hrst sat down to near the case. We think more strongly now that Whitaker and Waddell, and their clients and witnesses had , just as well have remained at home. We have never seen a more one sided set of men in our life. Golds- boro Mercury. We were in our last issue mislead by the evidence, which appeared in one of the Raleigh papers.

If the Raleigh Asylum is to be maintained as an asylum Dr. Gris som will have to be removed from the Superintendcy. The people will still, and, think the evidence bears us out in the opinion. We do not believe thaf he really meant to be cruel to patients, but his treatment in some instance was harsh to say the least. No doubt it was necessa ry oftentimes to use very vigorous means to sabdue violent patients, not submit to having such a stigma but it snouia nave been done witn on the institution as would neces a firmness free from Dassion. But sarily rest upon it with him at its w. n, rTr;M,m ot timo w head. The verdict of the people is ,. .; , ., already made up. If the verdict of ms xemper ii aoes noi necessarily the Baard doe8- t coincide with follow that he was cruel. tbat that of the people, it is only As to the misappropriation of question of a short time until the supplies of the institution it was latter verdict will prevail clearly shown that Dr. Grissom at times appropriated some small arti cle of diet to his own use, yet we believe him to be an honest man so far as his dealings with men go. We do not think he would defraud any man' out of a dollar in a busi- i i i i pess transaction, yet ne naq no right to use that which did not be long to him, even if he did not try to conceal me iact irom his em ployees. It was not right, though strictly construed could not be A BOY'S CRIME, Ha Murders Sis parents at Midnight, Chicago, July 27. A Times' special from Mason City, Ipwa, says: Wednesday flight in - Elk township, " Clayton county, West Elkins, but little more than eleven ears of age, murdered hisrfather and stepmother. After committing the crime he took his infant sister in a carriage and drove four miles to a neighbor, reporting he had discov ered his parents murdered and fled to preserve his own and his sisters life. Yesterday he confessed the partricide, to Judge Hatch. West Elkins related the story of his crime. He had had. some difficulty with his-fathei. The night of the murder he slept in the barn. Be tween 2 and 3 o'clock he got up and went into the house and took down the rifle which was hanging in the kitchen, loaded it and went into the room where his father and mother and sister were sleeping. "I placed the muzzle of the rifle near my father's head," he says, "and sent a bullet through his brain. This. frightened my mother and she arose and knowing that I was discovered, I went into the kitchen, seized a club, went back into the bedroom and killed my mother. I stayed around the house about thirty minutes, then decided to arouse -the neighbors. I took the baby from the bed where it had laid between its dead mother and father, took it into an adjoining bed room, removed its bloodstained clothing and with it in my arms went to the neighbors and related the crime that had been committed, but shielded my6elf. I am guilty of the crime." J; W. GRIFEIN & COMPANY'S Iew ISrii tore. V Everett's Old Stand. NEW YORK- Opening of Spring Goods.
