Payment OF Defendant's witnesses In
Cases Of Felony.

The Columbia -Register, OF the
18th instant, in giving detailed
account of tho trial of w. d. Kelly,
! for murder, states that "Mr. Lawson
d. Melton, of Melton s. Melton, ap-
peared before Judge Norton last
evening and made argument in re-
! lation to the payment by the State
of the witness fees of the defen-
dant's necessary witnesses in the
Kelly case. Mr.. Melton stated that
he knew that some Judges had held
I that the Statute allowed this, and
shat others had decided differently ;
he would claim that the Statute
plainly meant that tho fees Of mate
rial witnesses for the defense sum-
moned from some distance should
be paid by tho State. Judge Nor
ton postponed further hearing until
the counsel of the County Commits
sioners should be in attendance"
1t does seem that in an important
matter like that of paying the fees
of necessary witnesses for defendants
in cases of felony, there should be
no doubt as to what is the law or the
subject. But that such is the fact,
it is only necessary to cite the above
application by defendants counsel
for the pay of his witnesses, and the
further statement that the Circuit
Judges arc divided in their opinions
as to what is the law of the matter.
1t ought not to be so. And few
there surely arc who would question
that defendants necessary witnesses
in all cases of felony should be paid.
The witnesses are compelled to at
tend upon the sessions of the Court,
and are often brought from 4 great
distance at considerable expense and
sacrifice of their interests. Many of
them are poor and can ill afford to
lose even the time they are required
to attend, much less to bear the ex-
pense incident to their attendance.
1t is but simple justice that they
should receive their per diem and
mileage the same as the States wit
nesses.
But it may be said let the defcn-
dant pay them himself. This the
defendant should be required to do
when he is able. But many are
charged with these high crimes who
are poor and cannot pay. TO COM
pei them to pay their necessary wit
nesses in order to secure their at
tendance would practically amount
to a denial Of justice. Such should
not be the law, nor do we believe it
80 to be.
1t seems to us that here is pro-
per case for the Legislature at
once to settle and declare what is the
law. Let the witnesses summoned
for the defense in felony be paid
the usual fees, and let the State,
which compcls their attendance,
guarantee their pay, when the defen-
dant is unable and makes the proper
showing to that effect. Let the Le-
gislature remove at once all doubts
on the subject by proper enact
ment.
