the general policy of allowing any
persorf<o seek justice at the nearest
point. Accessibility to a. court OF
justice is, in my opinion, essential to
speedy and proper redress. If the
courts 10 which appeals may be taken
are too far away, many man may
submit to wrong rather than attempt
to redress a grievance. Circuit courts
are not always accessible, and l
therefore believe should be reserved

The state made an effort To prove
that the note had been an after

learned the state had procured the
check. The state brought out the
statement that Hargis had known
Feltner only few days when the
transaction took place.
II was at this point that Hargis
began TO dispute with the prosecu-
tor. the exchange Of remarks becom-

fered. There were also frequent hot
passages between the attorneys
which had to be stopped by the court.
After leaving the stand today.
Judge Hargis asked permission to
make a statement, which was grant

was not guilty. and II he was to die,
he would not want his wife to call
