yet tho commissioners confess that this arrangement is not wholly satisfacto ry since by it somo climes seem to have no appropriate place and they are not sure that it will not in iho end be deemed best to drop the subdivision of chapters and section altogether •». commissioners suggest afr ; w amendments three of which are dufining an accessory before the fact lo folony an accessory alter the fact to felony tho necessity of fixing once for all who are uccessoriob v.'ill bo understood ly ail lawyers and the amendments suggested aro copied almost verbatim from tho revision of massachu setts laws the commissioners propose also to define clearly in this chapter the difference between a felony and a misde meanor a difference which has never been observed in llie criminal legislation of congress every felony says one of their notes is distinguishable by cither ol two elements first the penalty of death ; second tho penalty of imprison ment at hard labor all other crimes aro to be

finished to find on tbe drawer of the bureau standing in bis room white finger marks opening the drawer he found the same on the articles iu it and on a pocket-book an exami nation revealed the same marks on the contents of u bag this proved clearly that the mason with his wet hands had opened the drawer and searched the bag which contained no money and then closed the drawer without once thinking that any one would know it the thin whitening which happened to be on hia hands did no show at first and probably he had no idea that twelve hours drying would reveal his wickedness beware of
