THE CAMPBELL VERDICT

StauntOn News:
It undoubtedly true that DR. Crawford
had treated the judge unjusty, but that is
the more reason why the judge should
have pursued only lawful means to vim
dicate himself. This situation afforded
the real test of his fitness to be judge.
BY giving away to passion and breaking
the peace he demonstrated his unfitness.
The trial seems to have been one OF. the
most farcical ever conducted in any court,
and the judges acquittal, on his own con-
fession of guilt, blackens the character Of
the States judiciary.
We cannot think that the Legislature
will let tho matter rest here Unless
Judge Campbell is removed from the
