Norfolk was fortunate in that their
errors were made when they did not
count, and the work OF Jordan was
excellent While Willis, Roanokc's
pitcher kept the Tercentennials busy
trying TO get onto his curves, the sup
port given him by his team was in

ninth inning yesterday afternoon with

LOW VALUE PUT ON WOMEN'S
LIVES AND HONOR.

The Picayune has more than once re-
marked OH the lenience of trial juries to
men who murder women, as we'll as on
the severity with which women ars treat
ed by the courts when they ipvaIfe the
"unwritten law to protect 81. aSenge
their personal or family honor. This
law is all right when availed of by men,
but it seems in the mind of the trial
juries not to apply to women.
Some appreciation of this injurious
discrimination against women was ex-
pressed by Hon. S. L. Weaver, judge
of the criminal court at Birmingham,
Ala, recently, when jury in his court
acquitted one Thomas Shelton of the
murder of white woman, Ora Dunn, in
a house of i'll repute in that city. The
Judge rebuked the jury, and declared
statistics showed that less crime was
committed in England and Ireland than
in Jefferson County, Alabama, and he
gave as the reason for it that crime is
not punished Murderers and the worst
criminals of all sorts are so sure of es-
Gaping at the hands of juries that they
feel no restraint, but are encouraged to
continue their atrocities, while the pros
pect of immunity invites others to VEN
ture into bloody paths. A judge in an
American court has very little power to
suppress crime, but his courage and
frmness in standing for the right are
worth much as evidence of what he
would do if he could-Picayune.
