A Mistaken Kindness.

Some person who seems to have a spite on Conrad Kohl and his family and
is at the same time ashamed to have his name known to the public contributed
an article to the last Globe. The anonymous attack comes in the form of a
pretended criticism of the Sentinel which said that Mr. Kohl had many
friends who would be glad to know that the verdict was "not guilty". The
people interested should have appeared at the trial. It is no kindness to
the memory of Mr. Dockey for them now to begin a cruel persecution of Mr.
Kohl and his family. They all regret the terrible occurrence. It will be a
sorrow to them as long as they live. It is a mistake in judgment for anyone
now to attack Mr. Kohl. The communication in question is a libel on judge
and jury as well as the attorneys in the case and Mr. Kohl himself.
