When it comes to the pass thai

One reason why Judge Shaw
The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1908-09-15

Judge Biggs' predecessor, was
cordially disliked by a few people,
was because he could not be
swerved from what he believed
to be right. One of influence
or prominence, or one who can
command the help of influential
people, gets into court and it is
no trouble to secure appeals for
light punishment or for no pun
ishment at all, no matter what
the merits of the case; and that
means, what we all know is true
in too many cases, that the pun
ishment in such cases is by favor
itism, not as a matter of justice.
In Iredell Superior Court some
years ago a judge imposed such a
light sentence on a colored man
convicted of a very grave offence,
that there was an outburst of in
diynation and the light sentence
was imposed in response to an
2ppeal from some persons who
didn't realize fully what they
were asking. But when the fierce
cl4mor arose on account thereof,
the court took fright and increas-
ed the sentence. If mistake
was admitted and the last SEN
tance had been allowed to stand,
t e incident might have been
overlooked. But in after years
the judge recommended the par
don of the same prisoner-and he
was saying that the
sentence was more severe than
it should have been but it was
imposed as a result of strong
feeling against the prisoner.
Thus the court held, after some
years of reflection, that bis first
] idgment was correct, but ad-
mitted that he allowed himself to
be influenced by public clamor.
OF course such a man is utterly
IL fit to sit On the bench.
The above is not to be construed

We do not know that he has done

as an objectian to judges chang
