to know the facts if the clients are guilty. In apy event, it would seem next to impossible. ordinarily, to es- tdblish in court that a defending law yer knew that his client was guilty, and knew that the money received as a fee was stolen funds. The confi- dential relations between lawyer and Ci.ent are so closely guarded that there is little chance for an outsider to know what occurs between them.
 It is reported that the government has expended more than twenty five thousand dollars in preparing for the Los Angeles case, and that further large expenditures will be made out of dcs're to secure the lawyers conN 'c'icn and thus make his case serve as d warning to other members of :he bar who too readily defend persons that take liberties with Uncle Sam's cash.

A Unique Criminal Case.

Tn the federal court at Los An geles the government is getting ready to prosecute criminal case which is unique in character. The outcome will be watched with unusual interest by the legal profession.
 Uncle sam proposes to send over the road" a lawyer who accepted for his fee in defending criminal some of the money which the criminal had stolen from the government The allegation, of course. is that the law yer knew that the money paid him was from the stolen funds
 IL is stated on behalf of the gov ernment that if is proposed to make this case an example for all lawyers who defend federal criminals and knowing ly accept in payment from their clients money that they have stolen. The public is familiar with the fact that to receive stolen money is a crime but it is a new interpretation of the law-at any rate an interpretation which hitherto has not been put into force-to apply it to the lawyer who defends the thief or embezzler in con sideration of part of the stolen funds The department of justice no doubt appreciates the difficulty it may en- counter in securing a conviction. In order to make the lawyer in question chargeabIe with the alleged offense. it must be established that he knew the fee he accepted was part Of the stolen funds. And ordinarily the dif- ficulty in such cases will be still greater for the government. for it is not easy to establish that the defend ing attorney even knows that his client is guilty. Many lawyers pro- tect their consciences in criminal cases where they strongly suspect the Euilt of their clients. by saying to them in effect that they don't wish

The Beautiful Recall.

Citizens of Seattle are showing a spirit which is little short of sacri- legious, in presuming to question the goodness of some of their fellow citi- zens who are trying to recall the mayor.
 Proceedings were begun some weeks ago for the recall of the mayor. An injunction against the completion of the recall was granted, on the ground that the means adopted" to set the recall in motion include fraud, for gery and false official certification." |"
 Astonishingly presumptuous is this action of Seattle's citizens who find fault with the means adopted by the recall party. It should be recog- nized everywhere that the only truly good citizen is the man who is for the recall, and it would be impossible for him to stoop so low as to resort to fraud. forgery, and false official certification" In that good time which is coming-although still in the distant future, we fear-when the recall will be part of Arizona's machinery of government. we need not fear that bad men here will work the recall crookedly. All the bad men live in Seattle. And they are against the recall.
