Two teams of the Orioles PLAYED at the
grounds yesterday afternoon, and the play
ing OF the men was characterized by
snap and certainty of action that augur
Ill for their opponents whom they will
meet this season on the diamond. The two
teams are dubbed respectively the Regu-
lars and the Yanigans. The battery work
for the former was done by Nops, Howell
and Robinson, the two pitchers dividing
the time in the box. McGinnity, McFar-
lane and Ryan looked after the points for
the Yanigans. The game resulted in a
victory for the Regulars by a score of 9

igans and did good work. The score of
the game by innings follows:

These practice games will be played every
afternoon until the exhibition games with
the Brooklyns begin, which will probably

been decided whether the Orioles win go
TO Augusta for the first of these games or
whether the Brooklyns will come to Sa-

THE HAUPT CASE.
The Juries Sustained in Making
Recommendations

hecOmm ndat1OnS.
Editor Morning News: Your editorial in
yesterdays News on the Haupt case was
read, no doubt, with much interest, by
a large number of our people
1 beg, however, that you will allow me
to give my views on a peculiar phase
of your argument in defense of the SEEM
ingly severe sentence of the court. Is il
true that in ignoring the recommended ons
of the several juries in this unfortunate
mans case, that the prevention of crime
is more guarded against than would have
been the case had the court respected
them? l think not. Far be it from me
to criticise the action of Judge Falligant
in this case, but 80 err is human" and
we are constrained to believe that in his
zeal to uphold the majesty of the law,
he may have perverted the very purpose
that it is sought to maintain 1t must be
remembered that these several juries had
the sovereign right, under the law, to find
this man not guilty in all these cases, and
had they done so, no power in the state
could have brought him in jeopardy of
his liberty again. The verdict of the jul
ries in two of the cases was about equiv
alent to this: 1--WE, the jury, would find
the prisoner guilty of the pffense charged,
but, on account of the punishment pre-
scribed by law, which we consider too
severe In this case, recommend that the
prisoner be punished as for misdemea-
nor" The court ignored their recommen-
dation in each case. Had they anticipated
this, they probably would have acquitted
the prisoner, having the right to do so,
rather than have him suffer the sentence
imposed in each case. Now, what fol-
lows? In the event of a new trial, either
in the court below or in the Supreme
Court, the next jury or juries handling
these cases will remember these things,
and rather than have their recommended
tons ignored, acquit the prisoner, in all
probability.
Our organic law, embodied in both the
constitution of the United States and OF
the state of Georgia, declares that lex
cessive fines shall not be imposed, MOI
cruel and unusual punishments inflicted
Would it not be UNNECESSARILY better, anc
by far more promotive of a healthy pub
lie sentiment against all evil-doers, and
in favor of law and order, that every gull
tv person shall be punished, if for no long
er than one to twelve months on the chain
gang. without exception, rather than see
ing so many foul criminals going unpun'
ished, after having been tried and acquit-
ted by the courts of our land for the rea-
son that the punishment prescribed by
law is in the opinion of the average jury
too severe? The few who occasionally fal
under such severe punishment, so otter
nv a train of unfortunate circumstances
the WAYS of which are oftentimes 'pasi
finding out" are no doubt subjects of hu'
roane consideration. G. B. Whatley,
