H. Alannmg, Clinton, on “The plea of insanity in the Rid trial.” The m/ittor is viewed from a. legal stand point and American and English jurists are impaitially quoted pio. and con. But tlie writer concludes by quoting the language of Wemlell Phillips ane endorses the application of, his views, with reference to the miaerab’e man Riel ; “This ‘miser** • able and misbegotten wreck, who is “only just within, if he indeed be —“Av-itlriny-t-ire-limiLb of moral respou' ‘sibilily, if,, carried away by that “revenge, the people bang him, it “will be a blot on the justice of the' “American people which, probably “within five years/ men would do “anything to erase, and which hiss J'-UywjTwill repord as one of the inosL “lamentable instances of temporary “madness; or as evidence how much “of actual' barbarism ..lingers in the “bosom of an intelligent and so- “called Christian community.” It ■wore needless to say that we cannot adopt Air. Manning’s conclusions, and wo do repudiate Air. Phillips words as pertinent to Riel. Riel is no “pitiable wreck,” and lie is very- positively “within- the bounds of" moral responsibility”, as Dumont, Dumas and other acknowledged sane men-knew who acted and co operats ed. To say that Riel was not ftnd is not morally responsible is to say that dozens of the most intelligent )k If breeds and whites , who acted in concert with him for constitutional agitation were also insane. No sane man will assert that Riel s* original cordjutora. were insane, and they liuve not said that Riel was- insane. Many of them saw through ..fejs ..dis-, guise, that instead of honest agita' tion, he was bound to use .them as tools for_his own personal agg,raQ.-.. disement'and aims. ’ We hear of-no talk among Riel’s plotters, those who are very thoroughly intimate with him, that they at any time held or now hold that he was not “morally responsible.” His appearance as a prisoner, bis speech in his defence before and speeclu in justification after sentence do not, according to Mr. Alanning’s eminent authorities Jttite a sane man.- .-or W fy the assumption that Riel is im* sane—“a pitiable wreck,barely vyith- in the limits of moral responsibility;” No sir, no 1 The assumption that “it is only too evident that the feels 1 “ing against Riel is one of revenge /‘rather than a cool and dispassion' “ate judgment upon the case and a. “care for the safety of society,” is- quite Unwarranted by anything we have seen or jiear.i. It is precisely 4w~-tii e-^sa f e tyiTof^yeiMty^ltav:::^^ advocates of capital punishment base their demand that Riel shall not' escape it. And that after they have heard the whole of the evidence and the “cool and dispass.ionat[e” charge, of the Judge and the verdict of the jury. As for “barbarism lingering in the bosom of the so called Chris tian community,” because the life of Riel iB deinauded.j’jLther^.let-it.-bm snid that to allow a-sSne man, (is rRtel IfoVprovtlilTiimserf/to robuind plunder and murder under tlie false I guise of asserting tire YigliTs' o*L his" Ivompatriots—that would be barbar- listn. ( Civilization guoi’antees -the Iriglits of property aud liberty in the ■pursuit of it. Riel Ignored this, be ignored civilization; if successful l»ven for a short time he Would have retarded civilization. Thanks to the Bo-called barbarism, which asserted Itself among the Christian people of Illis country, Riel’s .rea^ barbarism, Kis killing of priestsand women, and Btlier proven crimes, ’ was, crushed Bre^ the barbarism had made very Miuch headway, " ' .1 .

Then : “The insane per son after the act seeks no escape and acknowledges the .crime laid to his.charge. A sane criminal gener* ally attempts to conceal all traces of his crime.” Riel was sane enough to not seek to esciipe because escape was evidently impossible, and sane enough to deny his crimes and to try to throw the blame upon some one else. Then Mr. Manning quotes “The sane criminal usually has ac complices—the insane has not.” Mr. Manning adds? “Tlie very nature of the crime with which Riel is charged ■ --ferbidirrilwlippttc'aHou ofthisruTiT.'^ Not at all. It is just the rule which sbouAtHajiply and is quite apropos. ■ Riel attempts' to raise the standard of • revolt in the North west. lie cannot do this without •acoompliees. He gets accomplices—sane yien— ; jihatdsj^st'ill>Lim.tlii nga~sfi o vvTi/lodflio- contrary, we must assjgpe them to be sane. And, according to Air. Afaniiing’s authority, the fact of Riel having sane accomplices must be held as proof that he was sane and that they thought lie -waS sane, and who ougbt’to know better than his hosom friends. This rule aptly aps plies to Riel’s case and completely establishes his sanity, In ’fact the rule that, “A saue man usudly has accomplices in his crime,” is so per tinent .to Riel’s case that if-that 4il<>ne were to be relied upon, which we submit it would.be eminently proper to do, Riel’s sanity would-be established beyond t question. He bad accomplicesn Their sanity has. ■ not been doubted. They have been tried as Riel’s accomplices and been sentenced to prison for various terms fiom seven years down. Suiely the principal should suffer. His sanity can be nd'more ‘questioned than that of"'his_Bccomplices, and no suspicion' of their insanity was raised before, during, or sineb' their trial. . “Sane ymreBr never conimit a crime- with out an apparent . motive.” Riel had, a ..motive to, 'engage in acts •which....led to. overt acts of rebellion. His declared motive was to induce the Government to give him money. He committed his crimes from that motive, and one of his original acconip 1 ices, .Nolip, testified that Riei told him. =tbn^,aiid^aga-iBsjka^^h^tsv^s^ll’kp ~niof i ve. ‘‘TnSanei’il 1 en never have a motive.” Riel was sane because his '.motive was declared as well as palpable. ‘ .
