as always having its dues paid first,
while favorable report was given from

Must Pronounce Sentence

The Portland Express points out that
new and unexpected grief has over
taken the rumselling fraternity, what
there is left OF it, in Maine. A law was
passed by the last Legislature which
had most innocent appearance, which
did not even attract the attention OF
certain sprigEtly gentlemen who were
on the qui viye to protect and labor for
the "fraternty,n and which even escap.
ed the eagle eyes of the newspaper men,
sufficiently 80, at least, that it was moi
explained ut length In the papers, so
that its exact provisions and practical
bearings were generally understood.
This simple new law provides that when
a Judge Of the Supreme Court sits at the
trial of criminal case and the respond
ent is found guilty, II 1t be not Gaze for
which Imprisonment for life must be the
penalty, that Judge must pronounce tht
sentence, rights of appeal from the ver-
dict, of course, being fully reserved.
The kernel In this nut lies 10 the fact
that some Judges usually let persons
convicted OF rum selling off with a foe
while others are pretty sure TO send the
conRicleu party 10 jail. Inc people en-
gagged in the business and their attol-
heys have learned the differences in the
habits Of the Judges pretty thoroughly,
and now II case is tried and verdcf
OF guilty rendered before one of the
Judges likely to impose jail senteuc.
dilatory tactics are resorted to with tn,
expectation that when the case comes
back for sentence it will happen to com,
before Judge who will be content with
fine. This dodge will not work under
the provisions of chapter LOG of the pub.
