Deeming the Demon.

A doctor pronounces Deeming an instinctive criminal. Just the kind, in other words, to hang.—New York Commercial. The suspicion is. growing that when Deeming fully confesses the world will know where Tascott is and who it was that struck Billy Pattersc-n.—Kansas City Journal. An Australian doctor says Deeming is an “instinctive” criminal. If instinct has got such a tendency as this in the nineteenth century something is crooked in our civilization.—Boston Record. If Deeming, the Liverpool and Australian murderer, has an” form of insanity it is such a one as demands his absolute removal from society by means which the Australian law will supply.— Exchange. A grave doctor at Melbourne says Deeming, thd many-times murderer, is an “instinctive criminal.” To be dealt with, therefore, according to society’s instinctive sense of self-protection.— New York World. Deeming’s plea of “instinctive insanity” will not amount to much, after an official declaration of an expert in diseases of the mind that he is sane. If he were ti plead “convenient” insansanity it would be nearer the truth.— Savannah News.
