The jury in the case Of Ada Humes, who
wa on trial for the cold blooded killing of
Jack Brown, watched the owl like dignity
with which Lawyer Bantz conducted her
case, listened to the whimpering plea that
Lawyer Fielder made in her behalf and
brought in a verdict Of guilty of man
slaughter and affixed the penalty at three
years in the penitentiary. Her lawyers
have applied for a new trial. The LIBER-
AL is free to admit that 1t is Disguised with
the juries of southern New Mexico. It
looks as though the only way a murderer
could be banged was for him to plead
guilty. If such deliberate, p~remeditated
killers as Otter Johnson and Ada Humes
can only be sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary what is the use of having a
death penalty in the law? If the senti-
ment Of the iuries in the district court is

the dead, we predict although we will be
sorry to see it-that in some murder case
an appeal to the district court will not
be allowed by Judge Lynch.
