From the Cleveland LeaderD
The effort to take the case Of Caleb
Powers, Of Kentucky. before the
United States Supreme court ought to
succeed in the interest OF Justice.
In view Of all the circumstances II
10 not to be presumed that Q fair
verdict, or one that would DO salts
factory to all the people could be OBJ
tanned in Kentucky court For that
reason It 10 desirable that the case of
Powers be reviewed impartially and
without political bias by the United
States Supreme court. Not only would
that accord fair play to the prisoner,
but it would free Kentucky from the
stain Of disgrace that would attach 30
the state IL the execution OF Powers
should some time turn out to have
been political murder.
There can be no reasonable objec.
tion to the carrying up OF this case, II
good ground for such action can be
discovered.
