THE position taken by George Bliss, attor-
ney for William S. Warner, that he cannot be
tried in federal court until Ward is tried
and convicted in such court, is one of those
plausible technicalities that is calculated to
muddle the wisest, and, in the end, to defeat
justice. Mr.. Bliss line of argument is that,
since Warner is indicted in the United States
court as aiding and abetting Ferdinand Ward,
Ward must first be proven guilty in that court
of the ofense for aiding and abetting which
Warner is indicted. The way to approach
justice in this, as in almost all, cases is as
plain as macadamized pike. But the law,
by deft construction of attorneys interested in
