passes comprehension. No one
read the evidence closely be-
iieves that Floyd made the alleged
assault upon Mrs. Hayes. 1t is ap-
parent that the underlying motive
was jealousy on the part of both
husband and wife. and the general
imression is that Mrs. Hayes was
forced to commit the crime to
shield hedself from some real or i'm
aginary wrong that had its origin
in her relations to Floyd previous
to her marriage to Hayes. The
jury did not seem to realize that
the dead man had any rights in
court. They not only allowed his
slayer to go unwhipped of justice,
but tactily admitted that he was
guilty OF a very grave and serious
crime against the laws Of the coun-
-trv. The only explanation is that
:, he JGry was composed of a set of
moral wSaklings who permitted
their sympaShies to get the better of
their sense of duty and justice.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
About Justices of the Peace

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The grand jury in its report last week, as 1t appeared In your paper, made a sweeping accusation against every justice of the peace in the county. l being one of the number. feel that I would not be doing myself and other justices whom I believe to be honest. upright men. to let it pass unnoticed.
 One would believe after reading the re- port that the justices of the peace in this county were as cruel and oppressive to the poor and laboring man as were the magistrates in the days of ancient Rome, during the reign of Tarqun. The of flee of justice of the peace has been in existence ever since the formation of the government, and it is passing strange they are just now finding out that 1t is such bad thing. It seems to me that if such henious offense as they seemed to want to make it appear, that they should have named the party or parties and recommended impeachment proceed ings but instead they recommended the abolition of the office and the establish ing of inferior courts instead.
 Who will stand sponsor for the inferior court judge? We have now about Tour inferior judges in the county and case pending in the courts against one of that number for wrongdoing, and out of the IA justices of the peace not case against single one. so if you take that as a criterion, the inferior judges are the worst.
 I served In the Confederate army four years After the war was one of the few who put shoulders to the wheel in the black belt to rid the state of carpetpag and negro msrule, and have served for the past 20 years as justice of the peace, and have always tried to do my duty honestly and fearlessly, and have never been accused of wrongdoing be- fore. I believe Justice c. C. Ellis of this beat (No. 9 is an honest, upright man. and believe that Uncle Johnnie'' Dupuy would suffer his right arm cut off before he would knowingly do a wrong act I don't doubt but that some of the justices of the peace are overstepping the road but there is way to get at them. Yours truly,
