gotten gains. The motive of the pros
ecutors and the prosecution are con-
tinually urged before the jury doubt
less in the hope that melting prejudice
against the state may inhere TO the ad-
vantage of the defendant.
Now George Cosson can very we'll af-
ford to disregard sneers at his abilities
and innuendo against his private and
official character. Mr.. CosSon has a
record with which the general public
of iowa is fairly and aprovingly ac-
quaint. But why should the state
prosecutors who should in any court
stand under the assumption of honest
motives and clean handedness, become
the object of assaults clearly intended
to prejudice jury? 1t is to be assume ID
that the desire as the duty OF the court
is 10 try the defendant entirely as to
his guilt or Innocence. Then why try
the states lawyers and the postofficc
inspector whose untiring efforts broke

gang Of confidence operators ever or
ganized in America, why try them first
as TO their motives and private char
acters before a jury empaneled to find
out whether Marks was the go-betweer
between the Maybray syndicate and
the powerful interests in Council Bluffs
which must have backed the swindlers
IN order that they might operate at
all?
There is no desire over the state 70
IL fact there isn't any extreme anxiety
over Marks one way or another. If he
was part of that gang it was in his

anxiety to see the trail followed to the

it may lead in Council Bluffs and else
where over the state There is evident
" very powerful interests enlisted in
Marks defense, not because they love
Marks but because they fear him. Ma

However, Mr.. Cosson will give them

Nor. powerful Locomotives.

The Mallet type of locomotive
enormous and powerful as 1t seems
today in comparison with engines OF
the past. is not expected to be the
last word in locomotive construction
THE Mallet engine may seem large
now" C. T. Ripley Of Topeka, assist
ant engineer of tests, said. but with
in a few years there will be still
larger types. The mechanical offcials
are now working on patents by which
.hree engines will be coupled together
instead OF two as in the present COM
pound Mallets. Already number OF
PATENTS have been obtained and ap-
plications for others are pending.
The only obstacle to be surmounted
Is in conducting the different gases
through the long tubes. We believe
we have solved this, though in the
Mallets we now have we are expe-
riencing some trouble. Within few
years we expect to have triple NAL
let, and with this completed there
seems to be no obstacle in the way
Of having four coupled into one. The

A LAWYERS VIEW OF BARROW
WEBSTER City Herald


Anent the Mcnamara case the mat
ter is being generally discussed as to
whether Clarence barrow was justified
in defending the McNamaras. knowing
them to be guilty. According to the
legal code of ethics, Mr.. barrow, even
after the confession. could not be a
judge of his clients, but was bound to
defend them. Moral guilt has nothing
to do with crime which is against So
ciety. The law has no right to take
life unless the person accused can be
brought within the letter Of the law.
and unless the law meets the case it
can not punish, no matter how guilty
the accused may be morally. This dis
tinction can be clearly illustrated by
supposi1g that an eXecutioner with
warrant to hang a man condemned by
law. should shoot him instead of APP
plying the moose. He would be guilty
of murder himself. Mr.. barrow was
perfectly justified in defending these
men and if he had not done it the court
would have appointed someone to do
so. 1t is as necessary to lawful con-
yiction as to any other part of the pro-
cedure by which society justifies itself
in taking the life or liberty of one Of
its mem bers.

THE LAWYERS DUTY.

tGrnnell Registerl.
Clarence Darrow has been accused of
being implicated in the attempted
| bribery of one OF the jurymen in the
Mcnamara case. The immense retain
ing fee which he asked and received.
the enormous cost of the trial gave
hinle the money for bribery if he chose
to use it that way.
If ne was guilty of trying to subvert
justice with bribe. lawyers will agree
with the rest of us that he should be
disbarred and given as severe punish
ment as the law allows.
But another question OF legal ethic.
an old one. is brought prominently 20
mind. Darrow admits that he knew,
all along, of the guilt of his clients.
Was he justified in putting UP the
strongest defense he could. taking adj
vantage of every legal technicality
and loophole Of the law trying to save
his client in any way recognized as
professional by lawyers? We suppose
nearly all lawyers would answer this
question in the affirmative but there
has always been q great deal of reluc-
lance in the non-legal mind to accept
such a conclusion as final. IF a man is
guilty. as charged in the indictment,
and his lawyer knows he is guilty he
IS certainly entitled TO have all the ex-
tenuating circumstances brought out
to mitigate his sentence as much as
possible: but the old question still re-
mains unanswered, should lawyer
help a criminal in an attempt to prove
something that he knows is not so?
We would like to hear from the law
yers on the subject
