INNOCENT MAN NEARLY ELECTROCUTED
SIDE-LIGHT ON AMERICAN JUSTICE. Australian-New Zealand Calilo Association. New York, September IG. Thomas Bambrick, who was to have hectt eleotrocuted at Sing Sing to-day {or murdering a policeman, lias been reprieved on new ovidence. This is tho fourth caso of now ,-tostimony within two months for men convicted of mur-der-in New York who are probably innocent. A farm hand named Stieelow was similarly reprieved on the evo of his electrocution last month. In tho cases of two other convicts who are underfjoing twenty-year sentences for murder, one has been given a new trial, and tho other unquestionably will have a new trial on evidence furnished today by men arrested, who swear that they committed tho crime. A strong feeling is developing for reform of public prosecutors' methods of conducting capital trials.
