Your favor OF recent date received
asking my Views on the criminal laws
OF Texas. That there liz something rad
ically wrong with the laws Of our state
and the administration OF them no one
VIII gninsay, and that reform is very
necessary. But Just how to correct all
those evils In indeed no small task.
would suggest, however, one great i'm
provoment and that Is to change our
Judicial system In some respects. I
would do away entirely with the court
OF criminal appeals. let our lower
courts be clothed with power and juris-
dictlon sufficient to cover all murder
cases, and that fair, impartial trial
be given. Then. let this trial ana de-
cislon be final. II the subject IL guilty
and proven so, he should be punished
at once. II seems to me that these
higher courts were Instituted for crimi-
mails OF wealth and social influence.
and not for Justice. Poor men who ac-
cidontally violate the law are tried be-
fore our lower courts. and II found
guilty are at once given their term OF
punishment. and this Is final because
they haven't the money to take an APP
peal from one court TO another, and,
putting on their cases from time to
time W al the witnesses IN the case
are out of the way. Tell me how
much money one has to hght case
with and | can almost tell what his
penalty win be. II there IL money
enough, time Will be ell that Is neces-
sary to bring him liberty, am not
well enough vcrsed In law to offer any
special line OF procedure for the &C.
will In every way I can help bring
about this much needed reform.

Editor Gazette:
/ do not agree with the Gazette in It's
criticisms of the criminal court OF APP
peals. and / am also surprised TO see
80 many country editors expressing
themselves through your columns III
such simple, childlike arguments
against the court OF criminal appeals
The Argus will admit the honesty
of its opponents but will not admit
that they understand the question they
vlinly attempt to argue, The burden OF
their argument Is that the criminal
court of appeals errs in reversing
cases upon mere technlcnlitles" which
of right and Justice ought to be nf-
ilrmed The case of williams at Dallas,
which started this argument, Is ft-
ting case of their argument. Everyone
will admit this n plain case and the
guilt of the accused fully established.
and that he ought to suffer the pen
atty of the law. But every person
accused must be tried according to the
law and the evidence. Did the lower
court do this? Most nssuredly 1t did
not. our statutes plainly state that
every case must have closing time
and chat that time must be when the
argument Is closed. Therefore. the err
ror is plainly laid NJ the door of the
lower court for reopening the case at
ter 1t had once closed and not to the
criminal court OF appeals. The lower

sense and discretion and shown
better knowledge OF the statutes.
The Argus takes issue with the
country editors mainly from the belief
that they do not understand the ques-
lion involved. The Jurisprudence Of
our commonwealth Is divided into
three distinct branches-legislatiye
executive and judicial. Briefly stated,
the legislative is the law making pow
er, the executive is the law enforcing
power and the judicial IL the law in
terpreting power. The criminal court
OF appeals Ia n judicial power and
must decide all questions OF law COM
ing before II according to the law
books already made and not as some
seem to argue according to It's belief
rs TO the guilt or innocence OF the
accused or as to public sentiment.
Tho criminal court OF appeals IL
composed OF human beings and hui
mRnlty IL liable to err, but fOrty-nlne
cases out OF fifty reversed by II are
| plain violations OF the law by the
| lower court. Now to the question. In
this cnse the lower court Is the one
] Mt fault, and the solution Is this. Elect
