The verdict Of the jury in the Day
idSe murder case is still the subject
OF indignant comment in the com
mnnity, AMI various suggestions are
made to prevent a recurrence of such
trav1sties upon justice in this cornty.
1t was touched upon by Rev OhnIm.

rascally methods in the defense of
criminals shysters" is what both
these gentlemen called such law
yers and probably it would not make
any difference in their estimate of
the guilty enc, If he happened to be
a man OF more than ordinary ability
Doubtless these reverend gentlemen
assumed, and not without reason,
that all who in any way helped or
strove to bring about the wrong com
planned of are guilty and are prop
erly subjects for criticism. They are
right in this conclusion; and they
may be right also in holding, as evil
IDENTIFY they do, that the attorney for
the defense is the constructing and
directing mind In the infamous plCt
to defeat the ends of justice, where
fore he is deserving of the severest
criticism. Certainly, it is not at all
reasonable to assume that, where the
dirty work is so glaring and so
clumsily done as was that in the Dav-
idge ease, the attorney for the man
in whose behalf it was done could be
wholly ignorant of it. Bat may We

A Small Bout.

Prosecuting Attorney j. E.
Montgomery took exceptions to
that part of the article in last
we ks COURIER regarding
Latimer Hughes rrest for run.
ming the COURIER mans automo-
bile q week ago Friday night
without having red light on
the rear of the machine and in
which we said:
cit is a question in our mind
whether the arrest was a matter
of the discharge of official duty
or merely the exercise of officia al
power with a hsnkering for fees. ;"
When the editor of the COURIER
met his nibs, Montgomery, on
the street Friday about noon he
countermanded an order he had
given US for job work. a part
which had already been printed.
We informed him when be fell
out with US he would lose one of
the best friends he ever had.
He was sore, however, because
we had stated nothing in our
write. up of the Latimer Hughes
case except what we believed to
be the cold, unvsrnished facts.
Now if Montgomery hasn't got
ga hankering for fees'' he is diff.
ferent from any public officisl we
ever saw, but we honestly think
they are all alike when it comes
to fees-they wspt all Of the
Legitimate fees. at least, they can
get.
Montgomery remarked that
whoever said be had "a banker.
ing for fees was q d-3 living
s.n of q b-h. True to our nature,
when we have been insulted, we
landed on Montgomery's right
jowl with our right fist. He re-.
spondsd with alscrity and hit us
glancing blow on the left
cheek, and when we advanced on
him again he began kicking and
brought one of his pedal extremi'
ties in violent contact with our
anatomy, but struck our specie
purse that contained 40 cts, and
that probably saved our life, and
we live to tell the story.
When Montgomery be G a n
kicking we backed off and fell
backward over the front steps of
the COURIER office, striking the
left side of our face against the
brick corner adjacent to the door
