Our compliments to His Honor, CLARKE
ii. JOHNSON. Justice OF the Eighth Judi
ciai District.
Before Judge JOHNSON was brought
Mrs. CLARA vhLols, charged with being
responsible for the death OF her father.
JOHN w. RoEssLER The story OF the
case as already printed in the newspapers
left little ground for doubling that Mrs.
vALoIs' father shot himself, but the COM
bination OF peighborbood gossip, a coun-
try coroner and bucolic "delective"
have prevailed TO make things decidedly
uncomfortable for the woman. Against
indisputable evidence of suicide charge
of murder was brought and after the Scis-
uate detective has sought IN vain for
his victim, she was produced in court
voluntarily and the trial began.
II is very unusual, IL not unprcseoent-
ed in this territory. for district court
to assume the responsibility Of discharg-
ing prisoner that cones before 1t on so
serious a charge as murder. While the
justices of the lower court have a profes-
sional pride in handing over to the At
torney General as few cases as possible
that shall fail of successful prosecution
and while for offences less important than
murder they have no choics in the matter
OF their disposition, anything in the ma
ture OF a homicide case is usually passed
mp the court in such event risking
nothing OF its judicial prestige. On the
contrary, its assu mption in passing upon
such cases otherwise than to render
finding of 'probably guilty" would ordi-
narily be regarded os magnifying the
Office and exaggerating the function Of
the district court, judicially.
But Judge JOHNSON does not hesitate
to assume the responsibility OF releasing
Mrs. VALoIs, a clearly innocent person,
from further annoyance and oppression.
He declined to wash his judicial hands
OF the whole business and so subject the
woman TO further suffering OF which he
might easily have disclaimed responsible
ity. Judge JOHNSON is not that kind OF
Judge. He failed to be convinced of
sufficient evidence to odjudge Mrs.
VALoIs probably guilty and he thereupon
adjuged her not probably guilty and let
her 60. And that In releasing Mrs.
vALoIs he recognized his first RESPONSE
bility to the community at large in free
ing q possible homicide no one who
knows Judge JOHNSON can have posi-
BILE doubt, but it is an essential feature
Of such responsibility that the liberties
OF the individual shall not be threatened
except on grounds OF some little rea-
sonableness.

Looking for a Candidate.

The Democrats of this city are at
their wits end to find a man who
will suit all of the factions of the re.

seems that the genial doctor did not
fill the bill or craw of the concern and
DR.. ]. w. McSherry was interviewed

take kindly to the proposition. He
IS no Democrat anyway and does moi
propose to pull anymore of their chest
nuts out of the embers.
In despair the soliciting committee
went to Mr.. c. o. Lambert and it is
said he is bordering over the propo.
sition. Just what the proposition
was the Herald is not now at liberty
to disclose, but as Charley is very de-
iberate he may take more time than
the managers can spare to do his
thinking. And then he may con-
I
elude to postpone the matter uutil a
more convenient season or until there
is more propitious prospect for Dem.
ocratic success.
LATER.-Mr. Lambert has decided
to allow his name to go before the
convention.
