We don't always agree with Uncle
Bill" but this contention made In yes
tsrday'si letter that a man charged
with q capital offense should receive
just as fair treatment from the courts
az = man Of wealth Is sound,
We had occasion To refer to this
question In the case Of Hoch, who.
some time ago. was denied an appeal
To the supreme court of the United
States because he lacked money to
complete the record. We believed
that Hoch was guilty. yet at the same
time II did not seem right that there
was no fhther remedy for him.
when there should have been II he
happened to have a couple Of hundred
dollars, In HOchs case somebody
came forward with the money, In
C0nley's case no one did and the
appeal TO the supreme court was new
or perfected.
The wrong goes back further than
our territorial courts. The system
prevails In our national jurisprudence
and has been changed In few OF our
state courts. II Is probably within the
I-power III the territorial legislature 10
pass laws pfotiding that the territory
shall pay the costs Of nm appeal to
the territory supreme court. but even
then, In many cases. a man with
money can carry his case 10 the fed.
eral courts while the man without
money Is ~powerless.
We do not believe that this state OF
affairs gives any ground upon which
an executive may rightly interfere
with the find Of the courts. He must
enforce the laws as they are and
take them ~ he finds them. II Ia
likely that under our present system,
few Innocent suffer. but II Ia not
right tibet the man with money may
have q better chance In the courts
than the man without means.
We do not agree with Uncle Bill
that the time has come when New
Mexico juries must be composed Of
English speaking people only. The
native people have made excellent
Jurors and In some counties It would
still be impossible to secure a Jury
Il Spanish speaking people were not
chosen.
