SOMEBODY, evidently not a Daniel
come to judgment, essays in the En-
anainer to defend District Attorney
Davis against the responsibility for
three slips in his Office last week which
had been pointed out in these columns.
In all the cases the defense is the same,
that Learned and able: private counsel
were employed, and therefore, the Ec.
an,iner concludes, in one case our g crit
icism must be of no avail,'' and in the
others the private counsel must share
in equal measure the condemnation of
the INTELLIGENCER." This defense
sounds very much as if District Attor-
ney Davis had written it. Nobody else
could have such dense ignorance of his
duties as to consider that he can unload
the responsibility for a neglect OF them
upon private counsel, because he I" has
hundreds of indictments to prepare and
study" With private couIsel's rela-
tiOns to criminal prosecutions neither
the public nor the INTELLIGENCER
has anything to do. Until the
district attorney is excluded from
them he has their direction and control
and no assumption nor neglect of duty
by the private counsel can excuse the
failure of the district attorney to see
that indictments are properly drawn.
That he did not surrender this duty into
the hands of private counsel, in at least
one of the cases, is admitted by the En-
amiacr, when it says that one of the bills
sent in the private counsel knew
could not be sustained.'' The district
attorney sent it in all the same, and drew
his fees, we warrant, in this and in all
the other slip shod indictments, for which
the public rightly holds him responsible.
Since his apologist has made such amess
of this explanation, we will not ask it to
tell how many of the indictments sent to
tile grand jury last week for cases tria-
Dle in quarter sessions, were defectively
drawn in oyer and terminer TO incease
