Burns and the Unions.

Peoria Herale- Transcript: Suppose
the McNamaras had not confessed,
and that they should have been con-
victed and sentenced to prison or
death? What would have been the
effect on the feelings of their fellow
unionists? Would there not have
broken forth the most bitter denuncia-
tons of the courts and capital in gen.
eral for "persecutingr innocent men?
It is entirely probable that the feeling
which followed the Moyer-Haywood
trial would have been nothing as COM
pared with the outburst coming in the
wake of verdict against the Nc
Namaras.
A little reflection along this line re-
minds one what debt the country
owes to Detective j Burns, who built
up such solid case against the dyna-
miters that Clarence barrow admitted
depairingly, 1T Is like stone WALL
Burns had borne a great deal of crit
icism; the unions have denounced
him unsparingly and Samuel Gompers
has attempted to make a monster of
him. If the union men are sincere in
their condemnation of their betrayers
in the Los Angeles Jail, they will show
it by recanting their attitude and ey-
pressions toward this man Burns, who
has acted the part of a surgeon

"A Unique Death Sentence
How Western Judge Condemned Mexican to Death,
and How It Was Not Carried Out

ri +.
From common law orders, etc, by
John H. Best, page 273: The following
death sentence which was delivered
by Judge Kirby Benedict, who was for
thirteen years an associate Justice of
the supreme court of New Mexico, is
reported in the minutes of the Bar
association of New Mexico for the
year 1890. A Mexican, Jose Maria
Martin. was found guilty in the dis
trict court of Taos for an atrocious
murder and Judge Benedict sentenced
him as follows:

Maria Martin, you have been indicted,
tried and convicted by jury OF your
countrymen of the crime of murder,
and the court is now about to pass
upon you the dread sentence OF the
law.
AS usual thing, Jose Maria Mar
tin, il is a painful duty for the judge
OF a court of justice to pronounce up
on human being the sentence of
death. There is something horrible
about 1t and the mind of the court
naturally reyolts from the perform
ance of such a duty. Happily, how
ever. your case is relieved of all such
unpleasant features and the court
takes positive delight in sentencing
you to death.
You are a young man, Jose Maria
Martin; apparently of good physical
constitution and robust health. Ordi-
nar'ly you might have looked forward
10 mary years of life and the court
has no doubt you have, and have ex-
pected to die of a green old age; but
