Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-02-24
{ was necessary to go to Warsaw.

it was necessary to 60 to Warsaw.
; Even in Warsaw the accused did ev-
erything that could be done to secure
the bar of that place. But if the
statement Of the Democrat were true,
we think it would be the publication
of disgraceful proceeding Oh the
part of our lawyers, to refuse to see
justice done the State. The sinister
motive of the Dsaocrqt is apparent.
But the reason of the shameful
and barefaced course taken by the
Democrat last week is clearly ex-
pressed IN the following words.
which contain more sense and de-
cency than could have been expect
ed:
at may be that our relationship
to one OF the accused parties, and
our sincere friendship for DR.. Vinall,
may have warped our judgment, and
rendered us unfit to judge OF the true
weight Of testimony as recspitulat-
ed in these two papers"-the Indian
ian and the Republican.
That is what is the matter, and
you have "put your foot in it by
making the Democrat the apolooist
for the revolving crime of the two
men who are under indictment for
murder. Your position is so exceed
lngly disgut ting to reasonable and
right minded men, and your effort to
commit the Democratic party of the
country to the support of damnable
corruption so audacious. that all
people outside of your own corrupt
clique treat your piteous wall with
supreme contempt. The only points
in your apology for crime, that have
any particular force, are it's barefac>
ed impudence, and its reckless pre-
Stunning upon the ignorance of the
readers Of the Democrat.
We will only notice one more Of
the silly statements OF this soft
headed young man with "great ex-
pectations. For unhlushing effront-
cry the following statement surpass
es anything we ever read. Speaking
OF the time when Wheeler and V mall
will have a fair trial (if they don't
run Off before their own citizens,
that delectable sheet says:
"lf any faith can be put in human
testimony, if any reliance can be had
on the sworn statement Of the best
81 and purest ~ citizens of the
town, they will GO forth from the
court room free men, triumphantly
acquitted of the charge"
If this has any meaning at all, it
plainly means that il such an acauit-
tai as Wheeler and Vinall demand
can be secured beforehand, the Grim
inals will submit to a trial and come
out with Flying colors." The ac-
cused may succeed in getting such
l trial. as they have been very sue
,esstul thus far in their efforts to
prevent the course of justice and {
cover up their bloody tracks but
she facts in the case are in the minds
Of the people, and they will stay ,
here. No amount of allowing"
oy the Democrat, or evasion of the q
aw, and removal Of evidence by the
guilty parties can ever place the &C ,
used before this community tri-
acquitted of the charge. i
They are marked men, and so are I
heir satellites and apologizers. The t
Democrat has committed itself to O Q
iirty work In attempting to shout
Ter and lift up fer the admiration of
his part of the country the indicted ,
add licentious pest, A. L. 9
Wheeler. There is no telling now :
% what depths of degradation that
>aper may not sink, and drag down
q
III within its baleful influence. It's
conscious weakness is displayed in
is entire want of argument or moral
principle in defense of its course, $
md its baseness is seen in is sick {
sning and disgusting alliance with {
and stencil, without
even the natural shame and reserve
in the circumstances. 6
