practically a stump speech for Hay
zoe and his cOngratulating the jury
after the trial was over would have
been in bad taste for q decent judge
but it was in keeping with his coz
duct during the whole trial.
The Landmark noted these things
from the beginning, but as the writ
er is not a lawyer he held his peace,
thinking it possible that he might be
mistaken in his opinion. But every
thing that has been said about this
matter goes to show thu PEBBLES
conduct in this case is an outrag1
and a disgrace to the judiciary of
North Carolina. We have already
printed some expressions OF opinion
in regard to it and we are printing
others today; and We pause here to
"mek our to the editor OF
the Lenoir Topic. who is a lawyer and
better qualified to express an opinion
in this case han this writer, for his
plain speaking. The Tarboro South
erner wants the state Bar Association
to d%enOunce PEBBLES. 1t ought to do
SO but we undertake to say that it Will
not. The worst thing about it IS
that PEBBLES is safe on the n iCr
nearly seven years. He deserves to
be impeached and if he was a republ'-
can some of the p that
are now as silent as the tomb about
his conduct would be demanding that
the legislature be called in extra
session to impeach him.. In view OF
his conduct in the Haywood case who
can hereafter a any confidence IN
such a man? Who would want to
try an action before him unless as
sured that he la his friendship?
| He is a dangerous man. He has
| shown hat he cannot or will not
| hold the scales of justice evenly
where his sympathies are enlisted,
and with such a man on the bench
there is no telling on which side he
Will appear.
We have no doubt that Haywood's
attorneys knew the men when the
jury was selected. and it is beyond
question that they knew the judge.
The Haywood trial wasn't postponed
| six months for nothing. His lawyers
knew who was to preside and the '
knew their man.
| We repeat that PEBBLES conduct
is a disgrace to the bench n to the
| people of the state and he ought to
be ~lmpeached. If the people remem

| course be retired at the enc Of his
