will IT BE muRpER7

James H. Hawley, Esq, has
published a denial, or refutation,
of certain rumors respecting the
Diamondfield Jack case that got
into print, which exhibits the dis
tinguished lawyer in a very SEN
sible and amiable light. He takes
pains to deny that he was a party
to, or had knowledge Of, the i'm
proper use of money or influence
in connection with the case. This
denial was not necessary. No
body who knows Mr.. Hawley
would for moment suspect him
of conduct unbecoming a lawyer
and gentleman. He also say5
that no promises of any kind
touching the case were secured
from Governor Steunenberg.
This we are obliged to believe
rather than question Mr.. IIaw-
ley's veracity, But it places us at
a loss to understand why he gave
the governor such a virile piece
of his mind seeing that all along
his excellency has been his great
and good friend. Ingratitude is
no part of Mr.. Hawley's compo-
sition as can be testified to by the
best men in Idaho. OF course,
the tongue-lash;ng may have had
no connection whatever with the
Diamondield Jack business, but
was the settlement of another ac-
count, accrued since the election.
The denial, or refutation, or both, |
is a very successful feat in print, !
because it doesn't overdo the bus
mess. 1t prudently stops denying
just at dangers point, and direct
ly or by the implication of silence
admits the material allegations
contained in the article refuted.
Mr.. Hawley admits the existence
of private papers which would
convince any one who might read
them Of Diamondfield Jacks in
nocence, but, he says: "This
correspondence could not be made
public as many private business
interests might be affected by
reason of the letters referred to,
treating of many other things
than the Davis case" Here,
possibly, this review ought to ter
inmate because it might be I'M
charitable to prosecute it farther,
but could not those correspon-
dence, except as to "other things
than the Davis case" be made
public? The death of an inno-
cent man by legal process is a
fearful thing to contemplate.
Would Mr.. Hawley sanction Judi
cial murder in the interest of ''pri-
vate business?" That is a shock
ing thing to suspect, and Mr..
llawley should not lay himself
liable to the implied indictment.
lack Davis has just permitted to
be published what he had intend
ed as a post norton statement. In
t he protests his entire innocence
IF the crime charged on him. His I
attorney James H. Haw-
ey, insists on the innocence of
his man, and declares that he is
n possession of evidence which
re positively believes would COM
bel conviction of innocence in
he mind of any one whom he
,ould entrust to examine the evil
lence without affecting private
business interests. 1t seems to us
hat this is a case in which the
general public is too deeply con- s
.erned to permit it to go to its
bloody termination without inter
erence: There are no private
,usines interests of sufficient i'm
'ortance to justify public murder :
lnder the forms Of. legal execu-
ion. MIR. Hawley you owe more {
0 the poor, innocent man about
Q be unjustly executed than you
