THE MILLS CASE.

To the Editor of The Herald:
There is no occasion for any criticism of
the verdict by which Captain Mills was
acquitted of the charge of murder. His
conviction would not have called the dead
to life-it would have been no punishment
to the slayer and no help for the slain.
He is free and no one should begrudge
him his freedom.
But what of J. c. O'Melveney? Is his
name to be forever blasted on the IN
sworn statement of woman who con-
fesses that she has betrayed every sacred
trust Of womanhood? IN our sympathy
for widows and orphans let US not forget
the widow of the victim of this tragedy
herself perhaps the victim OF a wOmalTs
spite. Let Us remember, too. the five lit
tie children left without fortune and de-
prived Of a fathers protection by the
scratch Of an erring woman's fallible pen.
Captain Mills was accorded a hearing,
a fair trial before a jury of his country
men. he was entitled to it. Is J. c.,
O'Melveney to be condemned without a
hearing? He was certainly tTied. sen
fenced and executed upon an unsupported
accusation; that was sufficient for his
slayer, but is it for the world? We should
remember that O'Melveney never had a
chance to prove his innocence or even to
protest against his conviction in the court
IF suspicion where Jealousy sat upon the
bench; he was never permitted to face
his accuser. to deny the charge. to be
heard in defense of his life and his name
we should remember. too, that he has
never been proved guilty of the offense
under the cloud of which his name and
memory rest, in the shadow Of which his
children must live and their posterity be
born.
Emotional justice IS unsafe at best, but
when administered by a nervous, excitable
man predispOsed to insanity. it is more
than apt to err. Let US not judge J. {.
O'Melveney as hastily and as harshly as
his slayer judged him. He may have
been innocent He has not been proved
guilty. and it were cowardly and unjust
for the world to pass judgment on him
and punish his orphaned children because,
mute and helpless in his grave, he can
not speak for himself or raise a hand in
their defense.

Court Awards $3.50 For Services in a
$1,000 Case.

When 1T comes to a matter of a good,
fat fee for legal work there is no differ
ence of opinion among attorneys. a fact
that was demonstrated in Judge Clancy's
court today when three members OF the
bar, called to give testimony as to he
value of services rendered by another
member in a suit involving 81, DOC. stated
that 25 per cent of the total was not too
small. The judge allowed the attorney
$3.50.
The Ease as that of Annie McCough
against the supreme lodge of Moderns.
The plaintiff was a member of the local
lodge of the order and is alleged to have
been permanently injured in the collapse
of the York block in 1898. According to
the complaint in the case, the order rlt-
ual provides for the payment of 81 900 in
surance money in case of permanent in
jury. The money was not paid her when
the certificate was presented and suit for
the amount followed, the matter being
placed in the hands of G. D. Tillinghast.
A short time ago the defendant agreed
to pay Mrs. McCough the full amount OF
her claim. The suit as accordingly COM
promised and the attorney put in a bill
for $3.50. The plaintiff Guild not pay 1T
and hired Lewis A. Smith, another a,ttor-
i ney. to dc ~Tillinghast legal battle on the
proposition. AS stated the MATTER came
. in court today and Tillinghast won
out. He has filed a lien against the 81, 200
for his fee.
