Mexico Missouri message., 1903-12-17

AS we understand it, the ruling
renders it necessary to have every
alleged criminal against whom an
information has been filed indicted
by the grand jury. It's sweeping
effect is to open a new avenue of
escape for eight convicted st Louis
boodlers, whose cases are now
awaiting decision by the Supreme
Court.
A peculiar feature of the deci-
sion is that a number of men in
different parts of the state have
been tried for murder on informa-
ton issued by prosecuting attor-
neys within the past two years,
and many of them have been con-
victed and hanged. The number
of such executions is established
at twenty. If informatiOns are in
valid, these men were illegally con-
victed aud somebody besides the
accused is guilty of murder.
1t ia estimated that the decision
will affect 1000 cases in Missouri,
250 of these in st. Louis. That
second bribery charge against Ed.
Butler is not affected as the grand
jury voted an indictment against
him.
Lawyers of the State have been
looking into the matter and, it is
alleged, that several cases have
been found in which the Supreme
Courts opinion last Friday is a di
rect reversal of former opinions.
