The Wheel and Dusenberry.

From the Ndnaatia Leader.
We publish elsewhere resolu-
tions passed by our county Wheel
demanding that Dick Dusenberry
be put upon trial at the coming
term of the Audrain Circuit Court.
The resolutions are passed in good
faith, no doubt, but if the members
of that organization will think for
a moment they will see that their
resolutions are entirely out of
place. 1t is not their business to
dictate to judicial officers how those
officers shall administer the laws.
It is not theirs TO know the reason
why for the act of judge. The
Dusenberry case has been on the
docket for what may seem an un-
reasonable length of time, but every
case is governed by the facts in that
particular case, and if, under that
law, the facts justify continuance,
the court would err if it refused to
grant it. If Judge Hughes has
continued the case without lawful
cause he should be condemned,
but it is not alleged that he has
done SO. Whereas, if he forces
him into trial when he has a law
full cause for continuance, he COM
mits a serious error. Men should
have a knowledge of all the facts
before they assume to play the role
of public censors, and they should
know that when the death of
a human being is concerned no de-
lay is long.
