When an editor sends his paper to
man for six or eight years, IN the vain
hope that the fellow will pay up, and
then has q paper returned to him some
fine day, with the words, "GOne to

may not get mad, but he don't take
much stock in the statement Warren
Mirror.
ln speaking of q western story writer,
western paper observes: "She has,
besides, a genius for storytelling, which
is rarer than is generally supposed"
This is where the journal makes an
error. The genius for storytelling is
common enough. Almost every one has
it. Ii Is the genius for getting ones
stories printed after they are told that

much chagrined when it appeared In the

Judge Jack Evans speech.

Judge Evans, Tuesday afternoon, made
an able argument for the defendants in
the case of the charge of mail robbery
before the United States court. The
Judge, as true lawyer, fully Identifies
himself in mind and spirit with his
clients The defense Is more cOngenial
with his natural kindness than the prose-
cution so long his official duty ever was.
He has been lsng enough in Texas to be
a regular Texan in sympathy. He
argued strongly against hurrying off
Texas boys to the penitentiary
on false allegations of crime. The
grounds of defense were want of iden-
tity and abb. The liability OF mistake
as TO the identity of strangers, whose
features are seldom photographed on
the mind of an observer, WAS worked
out for all that it is worth. The alibi
of one of the young men charged, the
orator was certain was proved; and as
the two charged were together, the
abb of one would prove that of the
other;and that these were not the guilty
couple.
10 the course of the speech His Honor
reminded counsel that he could not at
tack the character of his own witness,
though he might show CUntr dictOTy
acts or evidence proving misrecOllec-
tiOn or mistake
The penalty of mail robbery being
imprisonment for life, the thought WAS
urged with most solemn force, that great
carefulness and deliberation should be
observed by the jury before finding u
verdict of guilty. Mr.. Kleberg, the
present district attorney, was duly com
plimented, and the lawyer for the pris-
Oners only wished for fair dealing on the
part Of the states counsel.

DemOralizing Tendencies in Crimina!
Procedure"
Written for the LIGuT:
Nothing is better settled as an axiO-
matte principle in elementary legal
treaties than that the control OF mans
purse is control. Of his actions. With
this principle in view, it is not little
surprising that the income OF prOsecut-
ing attorneys in both the state and fed
eral courts should be dependent on con-
victions in felony; the income of subOr-
dinate officials. rewards offered for the
apprehension of criminals, and In gen.
eral. the whole machinery of criminal
justice, is dependent for profit on con-
viCiiOn of the party charged. Whatever
may be said Of the superiority OF men
in individual instances, and certainly no
personality is meant, it is plain
that the whole thing looks like bribery
on the part of government in derOgatiOn
of the protection guaranteed to even the
humblest citizen. The temptation to
the prosecuting attorney TO twist the
testimony and perYert facts, which may
so easily be done; TO fritter away facts
for the defense. and to put in undue
influence on his motives, even nncOn-
sCiously TO himself. A fixed salary
would deliver or preserve this high Of
ficer from mental perturbation rs TO his
gains in his business, and would be
protection to calm an even-handed JUS
tice 1t doesn't follow that because a
man is charged that he is OF course
guilty. There is shocking perversity,
not at all uncommon, that would brand
n person charged, in advance OF his trial
as guilty; IN the face OF the law which
guarantees to every man an impartial
hearing and fair trial, and pTesumes him
innocent until proved guilty. Men are
at times seemingly fierce in their hasty
denunciation, as if to bolster up their
own questionable honesty or morality.
Good men are above this strategy or
apprehension. JUSTICE.
