Miss LIZZIE BORDEN, If not found
guilty, will have no redress against a
state government that has so needlessly
delayed her trial. The legal presump-
tion of prisoners innocence is suffi-

possible, and it seems as If there were
some defects in a legal system which
has in this case subjected Miss Borden
to so many months imprisonment and
punishment for crime Of which she
has not yet been found guilty.

The persistency with which the Dem

energies in all the gyrations and con-
tortions known to the legal profession,
would be extremely valuable to the
community if it were manifested in be-

accomplish some good, or had a better
chance of success than in trying to per-
suade the court that it has jurisdiction
wherever the average layman knows it
hasn't.
