WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING :

The number Of violent deaths reported
from all sections Of the country is some
thing appalling. Men and women, in
many cases entire families, are slaughter.
ed for the purpose Of robbery. Particu-
larly is this 80 in cases of old couples
living in the country, who are known to
be possessed Of some ready money. The
slaughter is not confined to any particular
State, locality or section. but the same
blood curdling reports Of crime come
from every part Of the Union. So COM
mon has wife murder become, that IL is
looked upon as IN epidemic. In this
State alone, during the present week, ct
Angels Camp, R%andsburg and Modesto,
husbands in the most cold-blooded and
deliberate manner have murdered their
wives, and in each instance was the crime
premeditated, and the result OF unwar-
ranted jealousy.
The Ease ct Randsburg was q particu-
larly sad one. The victim was a divorced
woman Of high responsibility. She had
located in the town and was conducting
restaurant. Her divorced husband
came from Los Angeles, intending to
make her return with him, or to kill her.
She appealed to the officers for protec-
tion, but the latter refused it. The hus.
band carried out his threat. and q few
hours later she was q corpse.
Murders are becoming entirely too fire..
quent, and many people are wondering
how it can be checked, for the criminal
element does not appear to have the
least respect for the law, and certainly
they do not fear il.
At Kansas City on Wednesday, Judge
Wofford startled those in the courtroom,
when he said with emphasis, and much
feeling at is beginning to look as if
any man with money, can kill another in
this country and get clear"
Judge Wofford presides over the Grim
inal court. and this emphatic assertion Of
his opinion from the bench was inspired
by the result in the case Of one Munroe
Bates, who had been tried twice for muir.
der, the trial resulting both times in a
disagreement of the jury. The Judge
said he did not hesitate to state that in
his opinion the jurymen were bribed.
Judge Wofford is not the only n who
believes juries are frequently bribed, and
Missouri is not the only State in the
Union where bloody-handed criminals
cheat the gallows.
In view of the frequent miscarriages
OF the Courts. and the constantly ~increas.
ing number Of murders. one can readily
understand why ii is that the citizens in
certain s~ections Of our Union disregard
the Courts and resort to lynohings.
