McElvaine should be indicted and tried
at once aud If found guilty made to expi-

ter subject for an example Of swift, Ger
tain and severe justice. IL is time to
turn over a new leaf in the punishment
of murderers. The four culprits hanged
in the Tombs on Friday were hanged for
crimes committed Nc han year ago
Such delay destroys al deterrent effect of
the death penalty. Swiftness Of Justice
is essential to the protection Of society.
There is no earthly reason why muir.
derer should not either be executed or
acquitted within sixty days after arrest
Let this be demonstrated in the Nc
