do not know that there Is much
TO add, save bare recital of the
events which have occurred since
then. After Edalji's conviction the
Dutrages continued undated, and
the epidemic of anonymous letters
ragged as ever. The November out
rage upon Mr.. Stanley's horses was
never traced, but there was sonic
good local Information as to the
author of that crime, and a wide-
spread conviction in the district,
which may have been utterly unjust
that the police were not too anxious
to push the matter, as any convic-
ton would certainly disturb the one
which they had already obtained.
This incident, also, will furnish
some evidence for the coming in
quiry. Finally, in March, 1904, a
man named harrington was con-
victed for injuring some sheep. No
attempt has ever been made to
trace any connection between this
man and Edalji. In the Green
case not only was there no attempt
to prove completely between Green
and Edalji, but l have evidence to
show that the police had most

which make 1t perfectly convincing.
And yet, in face of this fact, Mr..
Disturnal the mouthpiece of the
police at the trial, was permitted to
say, referring to this outrage:
"The letters which would be read
would show that the writer of
them was not acting alone, but in
conjunction with some other peo-
pie, and he put 1t to the jury,

since they had the clearest proof
that there was no connection be-
tween Green and Edalji? Such in
cidents shake ones confidence in
British justice to the very founda-
tions, for 1t is clear that the jury
already prejudiced by the nature OF
the crimes, were hoodwinked into
giving their conviction.

A bill of interesting features is
promised vaudeville patrons the
coming week. The headliners will
be Carr and Jordan, two travesty
artists who will introduce spe-
cialty that has made them top
liners on many of the eastern
houses. They will present a
travesty on "Spartacus. the Gladia-
tor" in which both Mr.. Carr and
Miss Jordan will show what they
can do as vocalists. Another act
that compares favorably with the

THE SPOKANE.

"The Country Girl" one of
Augustin Days musical shows,
created a sensation at the Spokane,
theater last night. No one of the
performers are particularly bril-
liant actors or singers, but there's
a swing to everything and an ap-
parent effort, not to act because of
the pay, but to please the crowd.
The audience soon caught on to the
individual efforts and for more than
two hours was simply convulsed.

and Illogical as those which had
preceded 1t. At the end of his third
year out of seven, the young man,
though in good health, was sudden
ly released without a pardon. Evil
IDENTITY the authorities were shaken,
and compromised with their con-
sciences in this fashion. But this
cannot be final. The man is guilty,
or he is not. If he is he deserves
every day of his seven years. If
he is not, then we must have apol-
ogy, pardon and restitution. There
can obviously be no middle ground
between these extremes.
And what else is needed besides
this tardy justice to George Edalji?
| should say that several points
suggest themselves for the consid-
GRAFTON of any small committee.
One is the reorganization of the
Staffordshire constabulary from
end to end; second is an inquiry
into any irregularity of procedure
at quarter sessions; the third and
most important is a stringent in
quiry as to who is the responsible
man at the home office, and what is
the punishment for his delinquency.
when in this case, as in that of
Beck, justice has to wait for years
upon the threshold, and none will
raise the latch. Until each and all
of these questions is settled a dark
stain will remain upon the admins
trative annals of this country.
