DECISION OF THE COURT.
Opinion Rendered In the Storm Drain


Opinion Rendered In the Storm Drain
Case.
States Attorney Searle has received
'py of the opinion of the appellate
court at Ottawa in the so-called storm
drain conspiracy case. The court
holds that the Indictment is good and
the motion to quash the same was
properly refused by Judge Gest. 1t
also holds that the court properly re-
fused to permit the defendants to
have copy of the evidence before
the grand jury
The court holds further that Looney
and Kelly could not legally be con-
victed without the evidence of Lahiff,
Cox and Kennedy, and that Lahiff and
Cox should have been examined for
the state instead of being permitted
to take the stand in defense; that
their defense was only Simulated and
was. in effect, an attemptsto inculpate
Looney & Kelly. and in reality they
were witnesses for the state and should
have been so treated in the trial.
The court also finds that in the state
ments of the states attorney and the
presiding Judge things were said
which were prejudicial to the defend
ants and these evidently made n
strong impression upon the jury and
to large degree aided in the convic-
ton of the defendants. The pivotal
points in the case as claimed by the
counsel. were not touched
upon by the appellate court and pre-
sumably they were not held
to be decisive of the merits of the
controversy. To sum up, it would
seem that upon the main issues in
volved the court decided for the pros
ecution. But for the errors inter-
veping in matters of detail occurring
during the trial the case is reversed
and remanded to the circuit court for
trial.

Julius Cesar.

Ofall great conquerors, writes Marion
Crawford in Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome" he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty. OF all great lawgivers. he was the
most wise and just. and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern Justice. OF all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal of
glory, Cesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and, dying, left mankind future in
the memory of his past He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have. The world
could have been as it is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne, without
Napoleon 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius Julius
