Recorder Gcm of New York IS on trial
at the bar of public opinion in that city.
lie has been the city's chief criminal
judge only a little while. being the pro-
duct OF the reform movement that stirred
up New York a year or so ago. He was
the prosecutor before the Lexow COM
mittee. and for his services in that capac-
ity he was given the position ne now
holds.
II looks as if he had already been con-
vieted by public opinion of being wholly
unfit for that responsible place. The
Lanserman-Aub case gave him the first
opportunity to show the sort of man he
is. That he is an honest man there is
no good ground for doubling. but because
a man IS honest it doesn't follow that he
it fitted to be a judge.
Judge Golf appears to be a man who IS
controlled by his prejudices. Evidence
has little weight with him in cases in
which he has already made up his mind.
and he is likely to make up his mind be
fore he hears the evidence. He is, there
fore. a very dangerous man to have on
the bench.
There is no doubt that he convicted
Langerman. In his charge he ignored the
evidence submitted for the accused and
virtually told the jury to bring in a YER
dict Of guilty. The general sentiment CT
the public, from all accounts, was that the
accused was not guilty. and yet the jury
yielded to the judge and Langerman
would have been sentenced to twenty
years in the penitenuary if Miss Aub, his
accuser, had not confessed.
And the story is that the judge did his
utmost to prevent the girl from confess
ing. He seemed to be so satisfied that
Langerman was guilty that he would
have sent him to the penitentiary if he
had the least excuse for doing so. It is
probable that Langerman is a bad man,
but he was not tried on the general
charge of being bad man. He was tried
on a specific charge. and OF that it is quite
evident now he was not guilty.
Reformers are not always the best
agents to carry into effect reforms, es-
pecial moral reforms. The qualities that
make them valuable in pushing forward
reform movements make them tyrants
in positions Of power that require good
sense and good judgment Judge Gon
made a reputation as a prosecutor, but as
a judge he promises to achieve unenvla-
BILE notoriety.
