SAYS CONVICTION Is o. X.

To The Newark Journal.
Since Covington has been tried
and acquitted on the charge of
bribery, what right have the peo-
pie to be bowling around that they
think him guilty. | think it is all
wrong. 1t might leave a stain on
the gentleman's character.
Jake says that after reading the
evidence any man with a thimble
full of brains would know he was
guilty; and that the jury believed
him guilty, but according to the
Judges Instructions they couIdn t
do anything but clear him. He
thinks the whole thing a farce.
He says according to the judges
charge, two men could 90 out and
kill II man and then come in and
one swear that the other killed
him, but unless they had other evil
dence to corroborate it he would
go scott free.
He wants to know what is the
use of a jury if the Judge is going
to decide the case, and what is the
use of a Judge who has to go to
some one else to find out how to
charge the jury! Covington could
have given him all necessary in
structions without going to one of
his brother judges, who is rela-
tive of the man to be tried this
week an a similar charge.
But | tell him to 90 slow or he
might incriminate some one. |
think CovingtOn O. X. 1t was
only a business transaction. The
people had sent him up there to
attend to their business, and six
dollars day and the honor of be-
ing president of the senate was
not enough for man of his cali
Der, and if he could make little
business transaction on the side
and take in a few thousand so
much the better for him. And so
far as the appropriation was con-
cerned, that was all right. The
people are able to pay it, espec-
tally the laboring class. And
what would an Arkansas State
house look like that didn't cost
two or three million dollars
No, the people who pay the tax
es have no right to be bowling
around about it. OF course Sena-
tor Covington is all O. X. and as
innocent as a babe.
