LAX LAWS.

LAX LAWS.
That there is something wrong in Ne
vada's criminal code is illustrated every
time a murder case is on trial. Take the
case now before the Second Judicial bar
at Reno. for instance-the Linderman
caase-where the facts are so plain that
Linderman was one of the murderers Of
Jack WEIGH in this county that all the
skill of the attorneys for the defense
cannot break the case down; the man
has been in jail for eighteen months and
has had one trial, was convicted and SEN
fenced to Death. The case was taken to
the Supreme court on some trifiing tech
nicality and sent back for a new trial.
Now the case is on trial the second time.
His companions. in crime have been con-
victed andNsentenced TO death for the sec
ona time and now their case is before the
Supreme court again, and more than ike
ly will be sent back, Such trif1ing with
the law is what prompts mobs to take
the execution of the law into their own
hands. The four murderers of Welch
should have been hung fifteen months
ago and the people and taxpayers given
aa respite; but no. the law is so lax that
some trihing technicality prevents the
courts from enforcing it for a period of
eighteen months and mayhap saves the
worthless neeks of the murderers from
the hangman's moose altogether.
The cruel murder of Mrs. Hess at
Sparks the other day by Oar Regain, the
house of his home and in order to carry
out his threaat beat a woman to death
is another case that will probably be 60
ing back and forth between the lower
courts and the states highest tribunal
for the next five or six years.
Another instance is the attempted muir
der of Mrs. Harper in Reno the other
night by a man utterly devoid of all sem
blance of a human being, who will prob
ably get off on the plea of insanity. and
at best be sent to an asylum to be feI
and clothed at the expense of the people
of Nevada when he should be put to
death.
With one branch of the law trying to
carry out the old Mosaic principle of IAN
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
while another is industriously hunting
for a trifing technicality to SAY some
worthless, numbering creature from his
just punishment in order to make a rep
utation(D for some lawyer. we submit
is not calculated to inspire much conf
dence or respect for the laws of the State
The present session of me Legislature
should honestly strive to remove from
our criminal code all loopholes whereby
a numbering thug can be pushed out o.
harms way by some attorney. while the
remains of the murderer s victim maxi
food for worms in some cemetery.

Last winters session of Congress was
the shortest long session in ninety
years. If the President carries out his
threats about forcing the railroad freight
rate legislation this will be the longest
''short session on record.

Reeves, the worthless whelp who at
tempted the murder of Mrs. Harper in
Reno the other night. deserves burning
at the stake. 1t was no FAULT of Reeves
that Mrs. Harper is not dead today, for
he tried his best to kill her.
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-01-23

The question arises in our minds, are
not the people justified in becoming inn
patient at the laws delay in the punish
ment of murderers?
