       This Tribune scribe found no fault in the proceedings or
       second-degree verdict....
       Whitelaw Reid was the editor of the paper.,,I can't determine
       who actually wrote the article.
       New York Tribune
       July 11 1891
       **********
       The convicted murderer commonly known as "Frenchy" received
       yesterday the sentence to life imprisonment
       which was inevitable under the finding of the jury. Some fault
       has been found with the jury for the verdict which
       they rendered, and the prisoner's counsel affirmed yesterday
       that it should have been murder in the first
       degree or nothing. Recorder Smyth, however, expressed decided
       dissent from this opinion, and declared that
       the jury had reached as correct a conclusion on the evidence as
       could have been arrived at. We see no reason
       to complain of the result of this remarkable trial. In any case
       of purely circumstantial evidence there is room
       for doubt, and the jury gave the prisoner, rightly, we think,
       the benefit of this doubt. The case was well managed
       both by the police detectives and the District-Attorney, and
       the outcome is all that could reasonably have been expected.
