Ecery Ereaing had an editorial on !
the newspaper criticisms of the courts. :
which it notes as being more indulged /,
in at the last session than usual. thus !:
reports Judge COmegys on his obiec-
ton to the pOStpOnement of the Croney
murder trial: Speaking for myself, /
am opposed, as general rule, to post
ponements in case of homicide. because
time is given to manufacture false
issues and create fictitious sentiment.
The best disposition of such cases is a
short, swift and a high gallows." The
criticisms on the lacOnic remark of
believing in n high, sure and. swift
gallOws" were miscOnceived, if the
above is correct, for the remark is not
only in accordance with the usual fact,
but not cXtra.iudicial.
