When Judge Searle of Honesdale
closed the door of his court against
boys who were anxious to hear the
details of the disgusting Howe case
"a case from our county, and case
that comprehends a criminal act, for
the commission of which the scaf-
fold or the electric chair ought to be
supplied-he served the cause of
public morals and did the young
men a kindness for which they may
some day thank him. Judge Searle
might have gone farther and ex-
cluded from the trial some old men
who fought their way to points of
vantage that they might hear every
scrap and scintilla of the salacious
evidence. | was glad to learn that
a tipstaff moved one gray head who
persisted in getting so close to the
witness stand that he sneaked with
in the bar enclosure. The unfortun-
ate plaintiff ought to be pitied in
the presence of so many coarse eyes
and vulgar ears, as she viewed the
morbid loafers who would be in
their element at an orgy such as rot
ten Corinth saw or Rome in it's de-
cadence. A man ought to feel
ashamed of his sex as he contemp-
lates a picture of two or three hun
dred men, crowding and trampling
each other, to get chance to drink
with putrid Zest the story of a hap
less girls ruin who, after all, pays
the severest penalty in her sobs and
tears and heartaches. Shame on the
man whose prurient morbidness
makes him vassal to the lowest con-
ceits in his man-nature.- From
