Thaw's Trial Costs.

The figures filed in the Thaw bank
ruptcy proceedings at Pittsburg Will be
studied with the greatest interest by the
public as throwing light upon the cost of
saving life menaced by the gallows. 1t
is often said following such a tragedy as
the killing of Stanford White by Harry
Thaw that a poor manslayer has no such
chance to escape the ultimate penalty as
the rich one. Probably since the Thaw
White killing that assertion has been
made in this country by hundreds of thou
sands of people In al! sincerity and with
full belief. The same was said In the case
of Albert T. Patrick, who was convicted
of killing an aged man for his money. and
who fought his case with consummate le
gal ability, with the result Of several
times postponing his execution and finally
securing Communication of sentence.
There have been numerous other in
stances in which ample means have en-
abled defendants to prosecute appeals and
prolong their cases far beyond the posi-
bilities open to others.
1t appears from the schedule filed that it
cost si53. 40 to conduct the two defenses
of Harry X. Thaw. which resulted finally
in his acQuittal of the murder charge and
his incarceration in the state asylum for
the criminally insane. Such a stupendous
total is calculated to deepen the impress
sion upon the public mind that the rich
man has a better show than the poor man
in the eye of the law This is the very
point to which Judge Taft has been adj
dressing himself lately in speeches in Vir-
ginia. He was speaking directly of civil
litigation but the fact remains true OF
criminal procedure as we'll that the right
of appeal is more freely available to the
man OF means than to the poor man.
In Thaw's case there was no appeal
One jury disagreed and the court itself or
dered a second trial. The enormous costs
In that instance We're OccasiOned by the
employment OF numerous attorneys, the
hire of experts and the securing of two
continents for witnesses. Undoubtedly
Tbaw could have gained his quasi free
dom as surely by less extravagant meth
DDS. There was foolish wasting of funds,
especially during the first trial. Had the
defense of Thaw been properly managed
as a business enterprise the expense could
lave probably been cut down to one-quar-
ter of the total now exhibited before the
Pittsburg court.

Law Breaking in New Jersey

Atlantic City, n. J., is one of the
widest open towns In the United States.
II is the very essence of what Is called
personal liberty. Saloons are kept open
at all hours and on all days with an in
difference to law which is somewhat baf-
fling to many visitors. Yet Atlantic City
has an excise law which prohibits the sale
of liquor in certain conditions. and at
certain times. sentiment for the en-
forcement of this statute has recently
been expressed In other parts Of the state
OF New Jersey. but it is significant that
there has been no such demand from the
great summer resort itself. The other

liquor selling there on Sunday. 1t called

High Car Steps.

Numerous complaints are being filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion's local rapid transit board regard
ing the high steps with which the street
cars Of Washington are equipped. Inc
Star has frequently in the past called at
tention to this nuisance in the hope that
the companies themselves would see their
way clear to remedying the defect In the
equipment. Nothing has been done by
them and it is now to be hoped that the
newly constituted supervisors OF local
street railways will find method or re-
lieving the public from this burdensome
condition. On great majority or the
cars the steps are so high that women
board them with the greatest dln1cuity
I, Is TO be believed that physical injury
Is inflicted on them in some cases. On
some of the open cars the running board
is two feet from the ground, which, as
one Of the commissions correspondents
points out, is as high the average
chair.
In most cases the high steps are caus-
ed by the use of heavy motors, necessi-
tating the raising of the car body long
distance from the tracks. In the case or
such rolling stock the defect is remediabie
only by the adoption of a special plat
form There is no good reason why the
entire platform should not be dropped
several inches below the floor of the car
This would make Of it a separate step.
If then there could be two steps to the
ground, ingress and egress would be easy
for all. Cutting into the PLATFORM for
a second step would lessen the standing
room space there. This brings up the
question of whether the companies should
be permitted to handicap the public for
the accommodation of platform ISLANDERS.
BY adopting the double platfrom car. with
railing separating the avenues Of en-
trance and exit from the standing space.
this difficulty might be avoided.
Whether the solution lies in the adoption
Of specially constructed cars or the re-
modelling of the platforms of those al
ready in use. certainly the public has a
right to expect the commission to require
the corporations to render its rolling stock
fit for use without imposing a heavy han
dicap upon the passenger. 1t Is merely
necessary for the commission to adopt
maximum height OF step from the ground
and from tread to tread in order to ac-
complish the desired object.

is one of his old quizzes reduced to fact
Mr.. Greeley was fancy farmer IN a
small way, and liked to WELD an ak on
his surplus timber. He figured In tree
choppine stories along with Mr.. Glad
stone who enjoyed the same exercise.
And as a writer and student. Mr.. Greeley
of course loved his den" and spent
good deal of time with his books.
Nasty" whose vogue as a wag was
great at the time supported Gen. Grant
in the campaign of 1872. and put his pen
at the service of his party. He made
speciality of Mr.. Greeley's oddities OF
dress and manner. and played also upon
his peculiar notions.
One of the best of the Nasty" letters
was that in which he described day
with Mr. Greeley at the latters home in
the thick OF the campaign. Many dele
cations arrived, and all were most cor
daily received by the candidate. Scouts
were out to give notice of the approach
of visitors When a rural delegation

When city folk hove in view. Mr.. Gree

want it enforced, and would not stand for
its enforcement.
The public prosecutor declared that he
would make no move to prosecute for
violations Of the statute. because no grand
jury would bring in bill charging that
offense. The sheriff insisted that he would
see that the grand jury was always COM
posed of men representative of the local
sentiment in favor of law violation. The
Judge admitted that possibly he might Sc
cure indictments. but that this would
mark the close of his usefulness. and he
doubted whether a petit jury would con-
vict. The mayor acknowledged that he
had never read the stattte in question.
and said that. whatever 1t was, the people
did not want 1t enforced. The local po-
litical boss ridiculed the excise commits
sion's visit as a bid for votes on the part
of the governor of the state.
Thus the case stands with Atlantic City
declaring its Indifference to the written
law. The question arises whether the peo-
pie of other parts Of New Jersey are will
ing that there should be one place In the
commonwealth where statutes can be
ignored by common consent without the
formality of repeal. OF course. the statute
in question is a state enactment and not
the product of a local option system Thus
Atlantic City is not only defying the law,
but setting up in the absence of authority
an excise sovereignty of its own. The
spectacle is at best unwhOlesOme, regard
less of whether it is right or wrong TO
sell liquor on Sunday. Far better would
it be for the state legisla, lure to pass a
law specifically exempting Atlantic City
from the operations Of sumptuary statutes
of all sorts than to permit this resort TO
continue in fragrant defiance of the legal
system of the state. For, as the case
stands, Atlantic City is constantly demon
strating to hundreds of thousands Of WIS.,
itors a contempt for law which cannot
fail to have a demoralizing effect upon
them. The issue of the laws Significance
and prestige Is far more important than
that of the sale Of liquor on Sunday.
