SThe trial Of Edward S. Stokes was
concluded on Wednesday with verdict
of guilty of manslaughter in the third de-
gree" He ought to have been convicted
of murder in the first degree. No trial
ever occurred in the United States in
which there was such chain of organized
perjury. Judge Davis, pronouncing SEN
tence upon Stokes, very plainly told him
that s'mercy had exhausted itself in the
verdict" and that the highest penalty OF
the law -four years. imprisonment was en-
tirely inadequate to the horrible crime Of
which he was guilty. He was sentenced
to four years. imprisonment in the peni
tertiary, at hard labor. Judge Davis ex
pressed his regret that the statute defining
the crime of manslaughter did not permit
him to impose a heavier punishment.
