circumstances. IL appears that Mrs. Stark,
although not endowed with the charms OF Helen,
possessed sufficient attractions to lure another
Ethiopian to her house and subsequently to parade
the square with him. Mr.. Stark armed himself with
club and went after the pair and encountered them
on their promenade. He proceeded to tap his

causing him to take to his heels and leaving the
woman to look out for herself. Mr.. Stark then

JUSTICE PLAYED OUT.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
There Is manifested by the press some regard for
the public welfare and Protection OF life, and II is
well that we have press to advocate right and
justice and to reprove the men who act as judges
and ignore justice, and the lawyers who so sue
cessfuly save villanous assassins, murderers and
robbers from the gallows and prisons. 1t would
prove q benefit to this community II such lawyers
were hanged up with their clients, should IL ever
occur again that murderer is hanged.
What contemplate farce have we just wit
messed In our courts. II this thing Is to continue,
better that we had none, as the people would
speedily ind O way to administer justice and pun
ish the guilty, which would soon put stop to the
daily murders now being committed with impunity
In our midst. Those who have been brutally muir
dered and their bereaved families are OF no &C.
count. and not thought OF after the deed
has been committed; but the nendish brutes
who commit the hellisfs act receive SYM
pathy and protection, and though their
case is as glazing as sunlight, and not shadow
OF doubt or their guilt remains yet the most trl-
fling technically Is allowed TO save the william,
after thousands upon thousands OF dollars have
been paid to aid Justice.
Let the press ring with denunciati0n and wake
up the people 10 q sense OF their insecurity, and
OF the danger before under the present condi-
tion OF things, and make the Bench and unprinci.
pied lawyers sensible Of the contempt they dc.
serve. 6EhPER lpEM.
