Courts are often averse TO giving a
speedy trial to prisoners accused OF
serious crimes because it is deemed
unfair to summon them to the bar
when public feeling is so excited as TO
make it improbable that they would
receive justice. But on the other
hand is it not possible, by long delay,
to postpone trial until the public has
partially or whollyllost interest in the
matter, until the sense of wrong is
dulled and pity and sympathy come
TO the aid Of the accused? Indeed is
not this often the case? And is there
not as grave danger Of a miscarriage
of justice at the end Of "a long judicial
inquiry when all the facts are cold
and the impulse wanting as when the
ofense is fresh in mind It some
times seems as if the sole purpose of
criminal procedure were to afford the
accused every possible opportunity to
escape. The laudable desire to pro-
tect innocence 81 far oyershadows the
demand OF the injured for redress and
OF the general public for security that
the whole system is bent and twisted
in that direction. 1t came thus,
doubtless, as a heritage from the
times when our ancestors, after CEN
turtles Of oppression at the hands of
tyrants, whose accusation was equiva-
lent to doom, finally threw off the
yoke and established a new order
under which, as someone has face
tiously said, no innocent, and but few
guilty, ones ever suffer. Punishment
loses half its purpose when long and
needlessly deferred. The laws de-

For unspeakable yileness that epi-

gave a lecher sixty years old the full

paiued TO learn of his death which
occurred in this city Thursday morn
ing at o'clock.
Afflicted with disease, his physical
constitution was slowly exhausted
and he finally lay down on hIs bed
and fell into uncOnsciOusness and in
that condition was gently ferried over
the mysterious river.
Judge Crawford was born in Wash
ington, y. g., in 1912, and afterwards
moved to Oxford, \. c., and engaged
in the drug business,
On account of falling health he was
induced to move to Florida, and after
"a short stay in Key West came TO

misfortune 10 lose his wife, noble,
