The appeal in the Bethune case had
the effect of stopping the execution OF
| the courts sentence which was to have
been carried out last Friday, and pow
Bethunc cannot be resentenced until
next February The delay in this case
is eXasperasing, and not calculated tC
| increase respect for the law. The
courts have several times said Bethlne
is guilty for the crime of which he is
charged, and yet the law which prom
ises every citizen protection has been
so manipulated that the courts seu-
tences have amounted to nothing more
than TO Increase the cost to the tan
PAYERS and the crime is unpunished.
II there is anything in the case that
shows innocence, or tut the penalty is
TOO severe it seems to US the remedy
should be applied without all Of this
shuttle cooking.
