English newspapers have been severe
and sarcastic In their comments upon
the conduct Of recent notable musier
trial In this country, and no American
writer of standing has ventured to ut
ter u word In defense of 1t. Indeed.
1t liz universally admitted that criminal
trials In the United States. particularly
when the accused person Is able to pay
for high-prlced counsel with great legal
ingenuity, too often result In scandal
GUS delay and even in miscarriage Of
justice. But the English criminal law
also results. not infrequently, In scan.
dalOus miscarriage OF justice of the
opposite character. IL American Grim
inals get clear as result of unlimited
right to appeal from verdict after ver-
diet against them, the Engllshman con.
vlcted by a, jury has no right to appeal
even once. The absence of any right
of revision of the rulings OF n judge. II
those rulings have led to conviction,
and of opportunity to override the find.
ings Of juries, which are not infalllble,
has resulted In the Imprisonment OF
many innocent men. There have been
two or three recent cases In which the
innocence OF convicted men has been
proved only after they had served long
terms In prison. Even then the only re-
dress was pardon by the home secre-
tary; and pardon implies guilt. No
steps have been taken to remedy the
evil In this country, but the British
government has undertaken to amend
the English criminal law. A court of
criminal appeal is to be created, con.

sisting of seven judges, with the Lord
Chief Justice at the head. The pro-
posed law gives to convicted man an
unrestricted right to appeal on matters
of law, that Is, upon the ruling OF the
Judge who tried the case, lie may ap'
peal on matters of fact with the con-
sent of the court of appeal. There will
he no second trial. The court may
hear new evidence, and may determine
whether the conviction shall stand. be
modified. or set aside altogether. Pro-
fessional assistance will be provided at
the public expense for those who can
not afford to pay for It. The scheme
seems to be admirably adapted to rem
cdy the evil that exists In England
without introducing that which prevails
