IN BEHALF OF TAYLOR,
Action Taken at q Meeting Of East
WashtnEtoQ Citizens.

Quite a number Of citizens Of Feast
Washington met last night at Baum
Hall to take action in behalf Of Thomas
]. Taylor, under sentence to be hanged for
the murder Of his wife. It was generally
supposed that the meeting was called by
the East Washington Citizens' Associa-
ton. Mr.. M. I. Weller stated, however,
that the association had nothing to do
with the meeting. Mr.. Loring Chapel was
thereupon called upon to preside, and Mr..
L. Nelson Conrad was chosen secretary.
Mr.. E. g. Niles. one of the attorneys Of
the condemned man. was invited to ad-
dav1ts tending to show the character Of
MRS. Taylor, and explained the case in
detail. He added that since the trial he
had shown the affidavits to several men,
bers of the jury that convicted him, and
they all said had the evidence been pre-
sented they would either have brought in
q verdict of acQuittal or manslaughter.
Mr.. Niles claimed that Taylor was ire
Peake, who was implicated in the case, in
scathing manner. After he had con-
cluded Mr.. Richard Rothwell, the father
in-law of Mr.. Peake, and the owner of the
house where the homicide occurred, asked
permission to make few remarks. He de-
Tended his son-in-law and said he had
been at the house several times and re-
manned there as much half hour, during
which time he went all over the house
looking for repairs. "Why couldn't the
neighbors have thought it was Pcake's
buggy? They drove the same horse. Only
two days before Taylor had stopped his
buggy, in which was Mr.. Peake, and Tay-
Tor said: MI. Peake, owe you the rent. I
haven't got it all. Here's So, but, Mr.. Peake,
don't come to my house again to collect
the rent I asked Peake what was the
matter and he said, oh. WELL 1 won't go
there again. l am sorry for that poor
man, and will sign any petition for him"
Me-. Niles said he was sorry to use Mr..
Peake'S name, but thought it strange If
he were SO innocent that he could not
have been present at the trial, and have
been at this meeting.
Mr.. Barrett, another one of the counsel,
followed much In the same line. 1t was
not his purpose, he said, to blacken the
character of the dead. He had refrained
from doing it as much as possible at the
trial, for the sake of the little girl. He
had had large experience in defending
murderers, but never before had seen
jury more bitter A few had come for
ward and said they believed a milder SEN
tence than one of death would satisfy the
law. In conclusion, he suggested that
committee be appointed to wait upon the
Attorney General and present the feelings
of the citizens.
Mr.. NJ. l. Weller said he believed the ap-
pointment of committee the proper
way of proceeding. He was in favor of
doing everything possible to help the con-
demned man. Since he had heard the evil
dence, he was more than ever confident
that Taylor should not. hang. The chair
man was directed to name the committee
at his pleasure. The meeting then ad-
journed.

EVIDENTLY some people are trying to
ridicule the people OF this district.
Alarmed by the growing demand for
ability on the bench. Judge Beall's
friends are trying to put the blame for
ten reversed cases, out Of fourteent ried,
upon the juriss OF this district. Some
excuses are worse than none, aud this il
one Of them. Every man who has
eerved on . jury knows better. He
knows that the frequent exceptions law
yers take upon the record mean prob.
able error on the part OF the judge Iva
fore the case Is given to the jury vt NIL.
The only way that the jury can be to
blame is by rendering a verdict clearly
contrary to the svidence. And every
man who reads the papers knows that
the supreme court ia scrupulous 10 it's
observance OF the rule that vsrdicts will
not be set aside unless they are &C clear
ly against the weight Of evidence az To
Indicate fraud. passion, or accident. But
the record will speak for itself. OF four
cases whieh were affirmed. three were
taken up to reverse the verdict Of the
jury. and the jury verdict was sustained.
In only one Of the fourteen cases was
the verdict OF the Jury the cause for
reversal The people OF this district
are not fools and will not be caught by
such chat.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A JUDGE haa more opportunity TO
gather to himself the fruits that come
OF the Efforts OF others than almost any
other public officer. In making his de-
cisions he has the aid OF mon skilled in
law, 90 that az ordinary capacity to IN.
'derstand, together with diligence and
caution, would, in this district which
has q strong bar, build a reputation for
judicial capacity wholly unobtainable
by the same mind alone. So the unity
Of the bar may frequently relieve the
judge from trying situations. And this
10 an important fact in this election. 1t
has been the attitude OF the bar far
more than the temper OF the Judge
which has procured for mortgagors in
this county the long stays for which
Judge Baall takes credit. 1t Ia a fact
that the statute only allows sale to be
stayed nine months. No judge who is
not corrupt can allow more OF n stay.
That would be a violation Of his oath.
We have investigated the matter locally
and fad that Judge Beall has not vic.
lated his oath, but that. in every case OF
foreclosure where than nine
months stay was granted. It was done
by agreement OF the attorneys for the re-
spectivs parties. Only one lawyer In
this county ever made an argument
against legal mean Of giving q mort
gagor time when he deserved Il because
OF misfortune-either general or indi.
vidual-and that lawyer has ceased to
he a resident Of this county. On the
other hand, the only time that a fsas-
ible way Of preventing forfeiture by
foreclosure sale was presented to Judge
Beall by a local lawyer; the judge
failed to grasp the situation and con.
t~smptuously over.ruled the lawyer and
confirmed the foreclosure sale. The law
is developed by struggle, and it takes
men TO carry on that struggle. The
conditions which have prevailed in Ne
braska have called for an application OF
legal principles to legal controversies,
which the present Judge has absolutely
failed In giving. The shallow pretext OF
continuance is an expensive nuisance
because in every a the costs to the
litigant and to the county are more than
equal the accruing interest. What ia
wanted ia n Judge who knows enough ia
apply legal principles to new conditions
besides being able to control the old
Such men there are plenty at the bar Of
this district, and the peer OF any Of
them is James McNeny.
