THE WILSON VERDICT

The conviction of Arthur Wilson
ehe negro rapist who was sent to
Henderson last winter to escape
possible mob violence, is at least one
step towards return to reason in
Christian county. So little has been
done in the enforcement Of the laws
here and elsewhere that it is en-
eouraging to see at least one jury
willing to do its full duty. The
courts of the country by failing to
punish crime have done much to en-.
courage mob violence and have for
years made mockery Of justice. 1t
has been openly proclaimed that
only the negro or the friendless
criminal need fear for his life or
&berty. In Hampton's Magazine for
April just out, there is an article
that will be read all over the coun-
try subjecting cur local courts to
the severest criticism for an alleged
Indifference to unpublished crimes
that have disgraced Kentucky Re
gently some courts are showing
signs of reform in this regard. The
conviction of Champion, the night
rider, at Benton a year ago was tie
first ray of light to pierce the gloom.
This was followed by the wholesale
convictions at Union City, Tenn,
and more recently the conviction of
the high toned murderers of E. W
Carmack at Nashville, as we'll as the
crushing rebuke given to the Ciarks-
vile Judge in the reversal of the
case against the two young men who
killed night rider while risking
their lives to uphold the law. And
now, after long wait, the oppor
kunity is afforded to commend the
verdict of one Christian county jury.
Perhaps after all, when the court
itself has been improved, the jHries
may be brought to see that white
men as well as negroes should be
called to account sometimes. The
men who killed Tom Weaver in
Trigg, the man who shot ]. C. Felts
in the back in Hopkinsville and the
Sends who attempted to burn alive
IN. their home the wife and child Of
Broussais Gregory in Christian coun
~, have not been punished and no
effort is being made to bring these
guilty wretches to the bar of justice,
but the time may yet come when
Christian county will no longer be
condemned in Eastern magazines as
a county where the law cannot be
enforced against criminals of this
glass.
The jurors in the Wilson case de-
serve the commentator Of good
citizens. One verdict like that will
have a better effect than dozen
lynchings and at the same time the
majesty Of the law will be upheld.
1t is a pity that a similar verdict in
lhe Charles Coleman murder case
was not returned. In the judgment
Of those who are pleading for law
and order, some hangings are need
ed in Christian county for murder,
and a fine opportunity to make a
start in this direction was lost in the
Coleman case.
