ton Of the penalty within year after
the commission of the crime. But
such comparative celebrity is almost
unknown.
Becker's counsel took some 1000
exceptions during the trial. Some of
these may be dropped before the Court
of Appeals is reached. A simple re-
versal frees the prisoner. A new trial
may be ordered when the Court has
misdirected the jury in the matter of
law or has refused to instruct them
that the jury is the sole Judge of the
facts; when the verdict is contrary to
law or clearly against the evidence;
when new evidence is adduced that
would probably have changed the
verdict"
The Court of Appeals grants re-
trial only for substantial cause-sec-
ton SAP:
After hearing the appeal, the Court
must give judgment without regard to
technical errors or defects or to eX-
ceptions which do not affect the sub
stantial rights of the parties
But in determining what exceptions
do affect the substantial rights of t4e
Iarties," review courts are necessarily
swayed by precedent and custom. If
"a new trial is granted, prosecution is
recommended. There is mo limita-
lion of time" (section 141) except the
practical limits of the volume of bust
ness After a second trial the same
processes of delay may be recon-
menced.
How the machinery Of procrastina-
tion works is best shown by recent |
example.
The revolving crime of Albert VOL
ter was eXpiated in GIG days. He was
arrested at once, indicted in 6 days,
tried in 2S days, sentenced in 33 days.
The Court of Appeals took but days
to deny his final plea and he was then
executed in little more than a month.
But between came 5SS days of delay
which was clearly against public pol
icy. Six months were gained on
plea Of "destitutiOn' In seeking
retrial the counsel employed dilatory
tactics which Judge Bartlett scored as
inexcusable.
VOTERS was not an instance of
money buying immunity through de-
lay. Neither was that of Mangano
who killed his daughter and lived 277
days before sentence and 1920 days
before execution. In such cases at
torneys must take part pay in the rep
utation they gain by their ability, as
Justice Brewer put it, to "trine with
Justice"
The first Molineux trial lasted 81
days. 1t took 10 days to get a jury.
The second trial used 81 days and end
ed Lab days after the crime charged
was committed.
Patrick's trial took G5 days and end
ed $50 days after the murder of Rice.
He developed after sentence extraor-
binary skill in deyis,ng new pleas for
delay until his sentence was commut-
ed by Gov. Higgins.
Thaw's first trial, which shamed
American jurisprudence in the eyes of
the whole world, took 10 days. The
second trial consumed % days and
ended 5S5 days after the shooting of
Stanford White At present 2,317
days after the crime, Thaw is still de-
vising means to veX the courts with
pleas for release.
Two famous cases of recent date
show by contrast how the punishment
of murder may be made so prompt as

The sentence, as to time, is but a

is merely preliminary to efforts for
reversal or delay which by clever law
yers can be prolonged for many
months. perhaps for years.
The rule of the Code OF Criminal
Procedure as to appeals is simple. APP

OF Appeals direct (section SID and

In practice. the time limit is always
reached and frequently by permission
exceeded. The reasons for this lie in
the completely of procedure and the
voluminous mass of the papers.

FAREWELL TOKEN.

Called as we are, Unexpectedly and
to our regret to the loss Of our pas
tor Rev. II. Robert Smith, we recOg-
nize in sympathy with him and his
family the apparent necessity. on ac-
count of changed domestic conditions,
of his immediate return to his former
home in California.
During the five years and a half in
which he has been with us we have
learned more and more to appreciate
his blameless character, his unObtru-
faithfulness and efficiency and his SUI
perOr gifts as a sermOnizer and
preacher.
With our appreciation of him goes
also that of his excellent wife and
helpmeet.
The period of his pastorate with us
has been one of harmony; of spiritual
culture: of charging membership, and
of material advancement.
Thankful for the Divine providence
which has given up the benefit of his
ministrations. we trust the same all
wise guidance shall lead him in due
time into a suitable field for the prose-
cution of his life work as "A good
Minister of Jesus Christ"

Considerable difficulty was experienced in

Grading of Road Nearly Completed.
The line of the extension from Bladens-
burg to Berwyn. or the old town of
Charlton Heights, has been graded and
5000 ties distributed along the line. The
grading of Sand street in Bladensburg
has been deferred pending the construc-

Ohio railroad at the point where the
tracks of the Chesapeake Beach railway
cross the thoroughfare. This work is ex-
pected to be done within a short time.
and the task of laying the trolley tracks
will be undertaken without delay. The
completion Of this extension will open
up a large area, and already two tracts
chased and preparations are making to
open subdivisions in time for the spring
