DEFECTS IN THE LAWS.
Justice is Slower in America than in Any Other
Country in the World.
Interview with David Dudley Field. =

Interview with David Dudley Field.
cit takes longer and it IS harder to
punish a criminal in this country than in
any other civilized country IN the world
Take the case of the 'boodlers' in New
York. Only two of them are in
the penitentiary, and when some
of the others were brought up for trial
a short time ago the witnesses
had forgotten or pretended to have for
gotten all they ever knew. Take, also,
the case of the anarchists in your own
city, or the murderers of DR.. Cronin. If
men are guilty Of crime they should be
punished quickly. This defect has been
talked about, but the trouble is that
when one lawyer suggests a remedy his
suggestion does not seem to find favor
with the others.
''There are like conditions in refer
ence to civil cases. 1t takes longer 70
try civil case in this country than any
where else. There are Sc 900 lawyers in
the United States for 60, 900 900 people
In France, for 20 900 900, there are 5000
lawyers. Germany has 10, 900 900 peo-
pie and only 1000 lawyers. With the
greater number of lawyers, ought We
not to get on faster?
1.-THE laws of this country are not in a
compact and intelligent form. 1t takes a
learned man a long time to find out what
the law Spn any given point is. Only five
states-Lousiana Georgia, California,
North Dakota and South Dakota-have
complete codes The law in the other states
is in such condition that the people do
not know what it is, while in France a
working girl can read the law and under
stand it. These matters l will discuss in
my address. and they NAV together with
possible remedies, be debated. -
These reforms advocated by Mr. Field
are in pursuit of his plan for O law for all
nations as delineated in his ''Outlines OF
an international Code, - which he pub
lished in 1873 Mr. Field s ideas have
been adopted not only by majority q
the states, but also by England in the
judiciary act, and by India and several
of the British colonies.
