commemorative Attorney Taken
to Task Is POwerless to Act

A reader of this paper AMI a repu
table citizen, says:
The communication in your paper
I'm regard TO the decision OF the three
Magistrates i'm the Conley case raises
a question which / would like 10 have
some light on. 1t is this: II the Gem
monwealths Attorney believed the
verdict Of the Magistrates a miscar-
riage Of justice, and that there was
strong grounds for believing Conley
guilty of the ofrense with which he
was charged, as he implies i'm the ar
ticle referred to, why was not Conley
held by the Commonwealth?
The law had him i'm his clutches, but
he was allowed TO walk away. scot
free by the Commonwealth Attorney,
who believed him guilty OF the charge
OF numbering Eldridge. 1t does seem
that Mr.. Bowen should have the pow
er in such cases to prevent the escape
OF man he believed guilty, and if so,
why did he not exercise his authority?
The Magistrates may have erred i'm
their judgment and verdict, and it
looks as though they did, but it also
looks as though there was serious
blunder made by some one else. Can
you throw any light on the question?
INQUIRER.
Enquirer" like many others. per-
haps, is not informed on the law i'm
such cases, which is, that man can
not be tried twice for the same offence.
When Conley was acquitted by the
Magistrates the law set him at liberty
and he could not bc held longer on
that charge and warrant. The only
way left open is to bring the matter
before the next grand jury for investi-
cation.
The above question and answer was
submitted 10 Mr. Bowen, who says we
are correct. He further states that if
he could have held Conley he certainly
would have done SO.

The chamber is about as large as tie

Ten or twelve members wear the al

will notice first of all that these men
do not sleep, like members of the Brit
