OFFICIAL WEAKNESS.

The tragedy which has upset this
community during the last several
days, and its incidental crime, the
spiriting away of the murderer, as de-
tailed in The Bulletins news columns
has naturally directed attention to
the conduct of the authorities in con-
nection with the case and the gener-
ally accepted belief is that there was
not such vigilance and activity in Off
cial circles as should have been mani.
tested in view of the serious nature
OF the case. This want of efficiency
was apparent, first, in permitting the
escape of the murderer. and, secondly,
who was the main witness against the
men who aided the offender to escape.
The murder of Otterson was COM
mitted soon after the supper hour and
it was not till seven or eight hours
afterwards that the murderer was
ferried across the river from the

went down to the landing, learned the
story of his escape and made report
of same to headquarters. The story
of the escape was published in The
Bulletin the following morning-and

be depended upon to testify before

sort of energy had been put forth by
the authorities; if there had been
qaich realization Of the needs of the
situation; If action had been prompt
and directed by good judgment--if the

they are not sufficiently aroused
when a great crime is committed; too
slow and dull--because perhaps they
10 not share sufficiently in the feel
ling Of horror and indignation which
must be aroused in every properly
constituted community when such
3nes arr committed in their midst.
Tie Bulletin Is not disposed to
shield the city authorities in this case.
It does not believe that the police de-
rartment did its duty to the public.
It believes that, with a little detective
work and proper vigilance they
could have caught White before, or
at the time, he was sent across the
river SO boldly by an ex-police officer
and his two pals But neither can
tire sheriff be held blameless, for I'M
der the law it is his duty TO give Off
cial attention to capital offenses and
the people had a right to expect that
Re would get busy the moment \
great crime against the laws of the
state had been committed. The peo-
rle's strongest complaint against the
|sheriffs of the last several years has
been that these officials have been
mere tax collectors, ignoring en-
tirely, perhaps failing to comprehend,
their very important duties as peace
officers in the community. 1t does
not annear that Sheriff Nellis took
any Unrest whatever in the murder
Of Saturday night, or in the equally
serious crime against the community
committed by the men who sent the
murderer out of the city, beyond per
hitting his deputies to attempt to
serve summonses issued by the grand
Jury after it convened.
