Defends Smith.
People should listen with liberation
to rumors about the Smith case which
are going the rounds. Street talk is
everywhere TO be heard, but no one
should condemn a man until he is in
a position to be heard in his own de-
fense.
While the district attorney seems
to have found enough against Sam
Smith to order his arrest, yet up to
this time, so far as the public is able
to learn from official sources, Lark
Elliott is the only one on whom the
penitentiary has a firm grip. 1t is
the Jury that will ultimately decide
the fate of the two defendants. and
street talk amounts to absolutely
nothing.
If Mr.. Smith shall be found to have
had hand in the wilful destruction
of his neighbours property, no matter
how great the provocation, then 1t
would be only a fool who might say
he should not be punished; for that
is anarchy.
So far, however, he has not been
adjudged guilty, and until he has he
and his family should receive only
sympathy, not condemnation, from
the people of the city and county. Let
the jury decide the case for or againa
him.
