WAY TO STOP LYECHrEes,
Abolish Appeals in Criminal Case
Says Justice Brewer.

Justice David j. Brewer, Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, has
contributed to Lesiie's Weekly an ar
ticle on lynching, in the course Of
which be says:
"What can be done to stay this cpl
demic of lynching?" One thing is the
establishment Of a greater confidence
in the summary and certain punish
ment Of the criminal. II all were GER
tain that the guilty ones would be
promptly tried and punished, the in
ducement to lynch would be partly tax
en- away. In an address which l de-
livered before the American Bar AS
sociation at Detroit some years since,
/ advocated doing away with appeals
In criminal cases. 1t did not meet
the favor Of the association, but l still
believe in its wisdom. For nearly a
hundred years there was no appeal
from the judgment of conviction in
criminal cases In our Federal courts,
and no review except In few cases in
which, two judges sitting, difference
Of opinion on question Of law was
certified to the Supreme Court.
"In England the rule has been that
there was no appeal In criminal cases,
although question Of doubt might be
reserved by the presiding Judge for
the consideration Of his brethren. f..
S. Phelps, who was Minister TO Eng
land during Mr.. Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, once told me that while
he was there only two cases were so
reserved. Does any one doubt that
Justice was fully administered by the
English courts?
"Why may not direction be given
to the presiding judge Of the proper
court, when such an atrocious crime
has been committed as those giving
rise to lynchings, to Immediately con-
yene the court and put the accused at
once on trial? II this we're done, and
no appeal were allowed, would not the
community be more confident that
full punishment would be promptly
meted out?
"It is said In extenuation Of lynch
ing that it is an additional cruelty to
the unfortunate victim to compel her
to go upon the witness stand and in
the presence of a mixed audience tell
the story of her wrongs, especially
when she may be subject to cross-ex-
animation by over-zealous counsel. l
do not belittle this matter, but 1t must
be remembered that often the unfor-
tunate victim never lives to tell the
story of her wrongs; that If she does
survive she must tell 1t to some, and
the whole community knows the fact.
Even in the courtroom any highmind-
ed Judge will stay counsel from any
unnecessary cross-examination; and,
finally, If any lawyer should attempt
it the community may treat him as an
outcaSt.
81 can but think that II the COM
munity felt that the criminal would
certainly receive the punishment he
deserves, and receive it soon, the Gag
erness for lynching would disappear
