SLENIP is RENOMUNAIED,

Especial to The Sentinel)
Norton, Va, July 3O.-Represen-
trtive BascOmb Slemp will be renom-
mated for congress from the Ninth
Virginia district by acclamation at
the Republican convention called
here today for that purpose.
Mr.. Slemp was elected last year to
fill out the unexpired term of his
father, the late Col. Campbell Slemp,
occupying the only Republican seat
lin either house of the United States
congress from the Old Dominion.
There is little opposition to him from
within his own party, and it now
seems probable that the Democrats
will not put out candidate against
him.
Representative Slemp will wage a
vigorous fight for Taft and the Re
publican ticket in Virginia this year,
and is sanguine of the election of
Taft and Sherman. He is the chair
man of the Republican executive
committee of Virginia.

ACCIDENT AT
FRUIT RIDGE

At the First Fruit ridge double
bridges DR.. A. p. Hubbard had an un-
pleasant and dangerous experience
last night that for time threatened
the life of his faithful horse.
He was called to the country at
about 8 O'Clock and at that time the
water was more than feet deep in
the gulch at this point, but he man
aged to pass through it safely.
Upon returning at IL pm, much
of this water had subsidized, only
about 6 inches remaining in the road
and covering the bridges. When he
drove upon the bridge the front feet
of the horse reached their destination
all right. but the rear means of loco
motion Immediately sank, due to the
earthen approach to the bridge be-
coming soft and giving away under
the weight of the animal. The doc
tor exercised care. unhitched the
horse and succeeded in getting him
entirely upon the bridge; then pulled
the buggy over himself and re-
hitched.
No serious damage resulted. the
horse being only slightly scratched
in the encounter.

public esteem highest of all in the orderly
dispensations OF our modern civilization.
There are indications everywhere, how
ever, that public sentiment has become so
aroused on this subject that something
must soon be done to rid the law Of those
ancient bubbles that have done more to
encourage crime than all the crime schools
Of the big cities. Even the ministers Of
the gospel out in California trained their
pulpit batteries on the evil, moved by the
decision OF the supreme court of California
in the Schmitz case. III Generalization
OF justice caused by this decision has been
so great as 10 create widespread indigna-
ton and bring deserved public rebuke.
The OmInOus Case of Abe Ruef.
Abe Ruef, an astute lawyer, as well as
a graduate OF the University OF California,
so far believed he had committed a great
legal as we'll as moral crime as to make
a public confession. moistened and sensa-
tlonalized by his own tears. The supreme
court Of the state bade him dry his tears
they were uncalled for. The a~ntiseptic
te~chnicalities Of the law had washed white
his sins. The appellate court Of California
found flaws in the record which might
have justified a reversal under ordinary
rules, but the supreme court based its de-.
cision upon the ground that no crime had
been committed by schmitz and Ruef.
Rcams could be written telling Of deci-
sions so hair-splittingly echnical that The
man Of sense must laugh at them.
when a strap is Not a whip.
On the sth day OF April, last year. at
Baker City, ore, two men beat a woman
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-26

on the public street with some kind OF a
heavy strap. One of these men held a re-
volver in his hand so as to compel the
woman to stand and take the beating,
while the other brutality beat her with the
strap. The men were convicted by a Jury.
They were convicted under a statute that
provided that III any person shall assault,
or assault and beat another with a cow
hide, whip, stick, or like thing, having al
the time in his possession a pistol, dir k,
or other deadly weapon with intent to in
timidate and prevent such other from re-
sisting or defending himself, such person,
upon conviction thereof, shall be punished
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary no,
less than one nor more than ten years
The district attorney in his Information,
charged the fact that the defendants held
a gun while they beat the woman with a
leather strap. The case was reversed on
the ground that the information contains
nothing TO bring the strap within the class
OF instruments mentioned under 'cowhide,
whip, stick. or like thing" Where the
instrument used is not one Of those named
in the statute" says the court, then il
must be so described as 10 bring il within
the term or Ike thing and it is not suf-
ficlent to refer to Il as a leather strap
Therefore. the information is insufficient
to charge the crime defined by the stat
ute"

1GHT UPON THE DARK SPOTS

An informing and interesting paper on
"Loopholes OF the Law" appears in the
current number OF Golfers Weekly from
the pen OF c. P. Connolly, for years prose-
cutting attorney of Silver Bow county, Mon
tnna. A part OF the paper follows:
The ~unsubsidized publicity Of the present
era Is letting in the light upon the dark
spots in the administration OF our criminal
laws. " y Of prominence throughout
the country nave for years publicly and
privately criticised the present growing ten
deney toward a too technical construction
of the laws in the criminal departments of
our state courts. The evil has grown TO
such magnitude that the decisions of courts
of appeal In cases in which a public inter-
est has been aroused are made the subject
Of ribald Jest among the learned as well
as the ignorant. II has brought into dis
reputs the temple tina should stand In
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-26

Gates as set out in the indctmsnts failed
to show that the seal Of the clerk Of the
court was attached to them, and that In
the absence Of such seal, which was re-
CURED by law, the warrants or certificates
were void, and no crime was committed.
The supreme court sustained this conten-
ton, and the deputy clerk is now a free
man. although one OF his confederates,
weighed dow by the sense OF his own
guilt and the disclosure Of II, died as an
indirect result. Yet no lawyer, educated
under the present system, will question the
correctness OF this decision, If judicial
precedents have any force at all.
In another case, a case Of cold-blooded
murder, the prosecuting attorney neglected,
by one Of those unavoidable mental lapses
10 which we are all subject, and which no
one seemed to have discovered until too
late, to set out in the body OF the indict-
ment the name of the county where the
murder was committed, though the name
appeared in the caption, There We're any
number Of instances which advised the
defendant OF the venue Of the crime. All
through the trial reference was made TO
the exact locality. 1t was proved beyond
cavil. The defendant himself took the
stand, described the place, and named the
county in the telling Of his story. He did
not know that he had not been legally
charged with a crime in that particular
county. In fact, he supposed he had, But
after his conviction OF murder in the first
degree, his lawyers discovered the flaw.
They raised the question, and the supreme
court, Of course, reversed the case. Had
the defendant been acquitted, his acquittal
would have been legal. Having been con-
victed was Illegal.

the objection and required the defendant to
proceed too far. The defendant was con
victed and appealed. The original indict-
ment on which the defendant was tried,
in which It must be remembered the name
was correctly spelled, and the copy served
on the defendant. were in the original
form, carefully carried before the supreme
court Of Alabama. We can almost see this
great court, adjusting its nose glasses, or
taking a microscope and carefully ex-
aiming the two papers, and then deliver
ing itself Of this profund opinion;
THE law required that the defendant be
served with a copy Of the indictment. The
reason OF this statute is that the accused
may he informed OF the charge against
him, so that he may prepare for his de-
Tense. The indictment charges the murder
Of Luke Hodnett. The paper served as a
copy describes the slain as Luke Hadnett.
IL follows that a literal o of the indict-
ment was not i'm fact served on the de-
PENDANT. The variance in the present case
may appear slight, and possibly It may be
assumed that the defendant was not mis-
led by IL. stu, it is a variance A copy
Of the indictment was not served. II we
wore to disallow this objection on the
ground that the variance did not mislead,
we would enter upon an uncertain field OF
probabilities, and know not where We
would find a limit, Better to err in favor
of life and liberty than to enter upon
ground so dangerous"

Six months ago a deputy clerk u one Of

that unless the defendant admits it knew
the lawful tariff schedule it can not be
convicted. There is no burden on it to
find out. 1t Is, of course, practically i'm
possible to prove knowledge Of that kind.
1t is solely within the mind Of the agent
of the corporation, and he is not going TO
sacrifice his position by telling the truth
II it jeopardizes the interest Of his en-
ployer.
Again, the opinion practically decides
that the Standard Oil company may be
a trust in crime but component parts for
punishment. You may convict wood
! Of a murder which he is alleged to have
planned, but you can not convict the
parent oil company OF the crimes Of its
agents-its Harry Orchards. The court
pleads for the innocent stockholders; but
why worry over the wrongs Of ~stockhol-
ders, who, by continuing to hold stock in
a corporation whose principal profits are
derived from defiance of the laws, become
partners in the guilt Of their agents and
officers?
Criminal Law "a Joke.
We are told that we should respect the
courts: but when we read the words Of
one court flagellating another, which shall
we respect? Is the riot act more becom-
ing when read by a higher TO a lower court
than when read TO a convicted criminal be-
fore the bar OF justice? The waddIlng
logic Of some Of these corporate decisions
is ike a devious path in a thOrny wood.
You can hide guilt anywhere in the brush,
while blind justice gropes in the open
road.
1T is when the courts refuse TO hold
evenly and exactly betWeen all who emma
before the bar that they become degraded
in the respect of men" said United States
Judge William II. Hunt OF Montana from
the bench recently.
