FIXED" IT OUT OF COURT.
Weich and McManuS Go Clear on
Assault TO Murder Charges.
Judge Rix D.smIsses the Cases Against the
Fighting Potrero Rivals, but Says 1t
Is Food for the Grand Jury.

AS was predicted by THE CALL the par
Elephants in the bloody battle on Third
street, between the trivial Potrero factions,
have escaped punishment for their murder
Gus work. With the healing of the knife
wound in Jack Welch's stomach and the
bullet wound in Cornelius McManus' left
breast, the desire of the men TO prosecute
gradually cooled until they fatty refused to
swear 10 complaints or testify against each
other. They shook hands over the bloody
chasm. and agreed TO settle their differences
out of court. This programme they ad-
hered TO with success.
After the meager evidence against them
had been presented in Department of the
Police Court, attorneys for the defense
argued motion TO dismiss the cases On the
ground of the insuficiency of the CON-
plants. which were sworn TO by Officer G.
l.. Reynolds on information aud belief.
When the matter came up for decision
yesterday afternoon Judge Rix granted the
motion and dismissed the case, suggesting
that the Grand Jury was the only remedy
for the miscarriage of justice.
''lf / can understand the decision of the
Supreme Court" said Judge Xix. I'm the
case of the people VS.. DINING, accompany
ing complaints on information and belief
commission of the Offense charged. The
af1idavits in this case do not recite anything
a mere statement that could not be intro
duced rs evidence during trial. Tie very
complaints themselves set forth nothing but
Information ana belief; the mere state ments
of outside parties. The Supreme Court says
there must be a statement tending 10 show
facts connected with the offense charged.
IF there was cutting and shooting af-
fray between Weleh and MeManus some
one ought to have seen II. According 10 the
testimony introduced many persons did see
the ARRAY. and the people ought to have Sc
cured some one TO swear 70 complaint.
Officer Reynolds did the best he could in
swearing upon Information and belief.
''All l can say is, If complaint cannot be
framed by eye-witnesses ii is just proper
case for the Grand Jury to take hold OF and
investigate. The Grand Jury can examine
all the parties aud make them tell what they
know under oath"
Prosecuting Attorney Nicholson said that
Officer Little had tried TO get some of the
witnesses to swear 10 a complaint, but had
failed.
WELL" resumed Judge Rlx. in most
solemn tones, ''t may be said, and truth
fully, too, that If these parties 20 clear
justice should not be called Justice But
how can l help myself? Ny hands are
tied. My opinion Is that if these defendants
were held each wOnld be Immediately dis
charged on writs of habeas corpus. Now,
If this is true il is not my duty TO hold these
defendants for trial. The cases are there
fore dismissed and the defendants are dis
charged"
Neleh and the "Gossoon" looked know
tngly al each other and quickly left the
court, followed by their attorneys and
friends.

which were, first OF all, the empire Of the
East, which her ancestors had striven for
generations to acquire and nearly acquired,
and TO defeat the balf-ciyiliZed and head

The November ReUietU of ReUieucS, a
very high class publication, in com
menting on the political practices of
the day, admits that things are not as
they should be. The writer says the
old fashioned method of having barbe-
cues, big speakings and a powerful
effort to raise enthusiasm and partisan
feeling to the highest pitch, has been
done away with, except In certain
localities. The buying of votes is now
the stock In trade for the campaign
committees. The ReUteW of ReUie1Us
says:
The main reason, however, for the
lack of noise and smoke and CRIME and
violence In the campaign is due to a
change of method. The transition be-
gan several years ago, and its full
significance now begins to be apparent.
1t is smokeless and noiseless powder
that has been introduced. with a cor
responding revolution in tactics. What
is the new method? Perhaps some of
the readers of recent magazine articles
WITNESS, for example, those summar-
lied In our own department of Lead
ing Articles of the Month , will answer
that the new method is simply the
very elaborate and stealthy organiza-
ton of vote buying, the principal bust
ness of campaign committees being to
see how many venal votes can be
actually bought and safely delivered
with the great sums they collect and
| disburSe. This is an entirely wrong
view. There are infected spots, truly,
where the disease of electoral venality
has become epidemic, and where both
parties seem compelled to pay their
own members for taking the time and
trouble to come to the polls, while an
element more venal still is shamelessly
selling itself to the highest bidder.
These spots oppare lily ore to be found
cnIefy In New England, although the
disease has it's small but distinct areas
of infection in various other States.
The real political leaders on both sides
hate and deplore the accursed traffic
In votes, though their henchmen are
guilty of using what they claim as the
only means that can now be used effec-
lively in the infected districts There
is some reason to believe that the day
is near at hand when both sides will
join hands in a powerful attempt to
stamp out this horrible disease, as the
sanitary authorities would Iocalize,
isolate and stamp out the cholera in
fectlon. Our investigators and re.
formers n rendering a good service
In their attempts to make a scientific
and statistical study of venal voting,
and the attention of the country can
not be focused too sharply upon these
dangers and abuses. Honest Politics
clubs, of inter-partisan membership
and permanent character, ought to be
formed in every community for the
sake of fighting corrupt methods and
practices.
