Whitaker Remanded for Murder
Gus Attack.

The preliminary examination of the
case Of former Police Inspector Whit
aker and his bodyguard OF Eve detect
ives who made an armed raid into the
| Morning World Office in New Orleans
a month ago, was completed by Judge
Skinner OF the first city criminal court
on Wednesday of last week, and as a
result OF the investigation the magis-
trate remanded Whitaker to the Grim
inal district court under $1,000 bail 10
answer the charge Of shooting at j /.
| NJ. Leveque, editor of the World, with
intent to murder. The five detectives
were discharged on the ground that
they accompanied their superior officer
| under orders, and that it did not APP
pear that they had prior knowledge of
the Inspectors intent to attack Mr..
LeVeque, or had themselves committed
any overt act.
The decision as to Whitaker was
generally anticipated, because no other
finding was conceivable in view of the
giariDg and indispu5able character of
the assault but there will be a great
deal of dissent from Judge Skinner's
lenient view Of the conduct OF the BODY
guard, who not only made no effort to
prevent the affray or to arrest the par
Elephants, but actually stood with
drawn reviewers to protect their law
less chief in his deliberate ATTEMPT to
murder an unarmed citizen engaged liz |
the peaceful pursuit of his ordinary /
occupation and in his own private I
office. If Judge Skinner had been the I
victim of a similar attack under like I
tits doubtful if hecould /
ever have discovered pair Of legal
spectacies strong enough to have en-.
abled him to see the conduct of the de-
tectives In the charitable light that he
now processes to view it. It would be
interesting to know how much further
the armed invaders could have pro
ceeded in their "hold up of the World
and its inmates without
coming within the scope ofthis learned
Judges definition of an overt act.
The World calls upon District At
,orney Parker to file informations
against the detectives, or at least to
present them to the grand jury, and
he demand is entirely reasonable and
roper. f

Troubles Never Come Singly

There is an old saying "that
troubles never come singly," and
the truth of 1t is beng verified so
far as ye country editor is con
cerned. Oaly short time ago
the Paper Trust advanced the
price Of white news paper so
high that nearly every newspa-
per IN the land that had been
charging Sl00 a year was forced
to raise the price to 81 80 or 80 GO
a year. After yards of editorials
bad been published about the
raise in price, and some OF their
best subscribers had discontin
ued their papers the Postoffice
Department "bobs up" sercnely
with a ruling that subscribers to
newspapers can't be trusted any
longer aud unless they pay every
year the paper can't ne mailed
as second class mail matter.
1t looks now as if the country
editor Will soon be but a "few
