JUSTICE BLACKS OPINION.
"When principle of law is estab-

Even a legislator, if he is wise and

But Judge-made law sweeps away all
the rights which may have been ac-
quired on the faith Of previous rules.
For such wrong even the legislature
can furnish no redress. When the

TAKEN TO GREENWOOD.

The case was transferred to the
county OF Greenwood, 10 preference 10
anv other county in the circuit. notwith-
standing Greenwood's well-known pref
udce in regard TO drinking "hiskey
aud gambling. which, to my certain
knowledge, among some OF the citlzens,
is hvpocritical. yet it had Its weight IN
this case. The case was brought to trial
in shat county. The relatives Of the de-
ceased, with their wealth and influence,
employed. as their counsel in that couns
ty. man who it was publicly stated
could make jury of Greenwood county
90 anything thot be told them TO do. A
verdict of maDslaughter was the result.
The case was appealed TO the Supreme
court. and in both courts, IN my humble
opinion. the defendant was given raw
deal and his case was not given that
consideration which should have been
given by these courts.
In delivering the opinion of the State

carefully observe the words quoted

SAYS COURT REVERSED ITSELF.

II do not know Why IL was necessary
for the court to reverse this long stnnds
ing priaciple OF law in the Hunter case,
and declaring once again this we'll es-
tablished principle Of law il the Laza-
rus case. l have my opinion, and as an
individual have often expressed 1T pri-
vately and publicly in no uncertain
terms. but as Chief Executive of the
State I will not criticise a coordinate
branch OF the Governmental wit: the
judiciary, because, were | to say here
what l believe in regard to the matter
aDd what I have said both in private
and public conversations as private
citizen, it might by some be construed
discourteous to the court. In my opln-
ion, as q crininsl lawyer of 23 years
experience, and practice which hbs
made for me Il handsome living and paid
for several State campaigns las had DO
other Income. I most positively assert
that if the original and well-kno~n
principle ci law had been followed and
recognized in the Hunter case, he would
have been granted new trial. Then.
again, he comes TO a Justice CT the Su-
preme court and asks that the case be
held up until ne can appear IN the io"er
court tC make 3. motion for new trial.
Even that, which had been extended 10
many others, was refused him and he
was informed that he would have to go
on his term of service. aud that there
was nothing to prevent him from max
ing the motion on circuit after be had
begun his service in the peniteht tiary.
See 20 S. Z. Rep, Page 3Q6. This was
refused Hunter. but we notice, as late
as December. 1911, when a rebearing
was asked in the Supreme court, certain
wealthy and influential defendants walk
ed abont at their leisure e:en for some
time after the Supreme court had refus.
ed hearing. Why this very sudden
change in the rulings of the court just
at the time the Hunter case appeared
again?
