Complaint OF a Secondhand Dealer.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR.

thus seeking to set aside the inslnuatton reported
to have been made by Judge Smell, we would at
the same time ask II the end OF justice may not
be best Subserved by q more discriminating use of

the credit and interest OF the community be more
likely to be promoted by according to each class
simple and exact justice. For example. a cashier
OF a bank Is charged with embeZZiing money, or
lawyer is questioned for any misconduct; would
It be just to condemn all cashiers and lawyers7
