|C0LQU|TT SCORES
DISTRICT JUDGES
CHARGES THEM WITH RE-
SPONSIBILITY FOR THE
LAWS DELAY.
BROWNING PREsIOEs
SWEEPING CHANGES RECON-
MENDED BY CONVENTION IN
JUDICIAL PROCEDURE TO
COMING LEGISLATURE.

AUSTIN. Texas. Dec. l3.--Govern-
or Colquitt talked candidly to the
convention OF Circuit Judges this
morning. lie told the district jud-
ges they were TO blame In large
measure for the laws delay. He said
the trouble did not lie In defects In
the procedure but In great meas
ure the practice which the trial
judges permit. He said they were
too prone to let politics enter into
their deliberations.
He asked the judges to appoint
able counsel to defend the poor man
without friends. He asserted that
the poor man is railroaded to the
penitentiary while the man with In
fluence and money goes free after
taking up his case to the courts two
or three times.
The governor called attention to
case in which the son OF poor
widow and her only support charg-
ed with violating the local option
laws was railroaded to the peniten-
,iary for years and man OF influ-
ence charged with serious offense
the next case on the docket was
acquitted He said he will recon-
mend the repeal OF the strong
ers law.
He criticised severely the modifi-
cation OF the statutes by the COM
mission appointed during the ad-
mlnistration OF his predecessor. He
said the book as turned out by the
codifiers was nothing more than a
corrupt book and was full OF de-
flcits. When the work OF the COM
mission Ia completed. the Gov. said
i the cost will have reached $4,000.
He said that he would not give 81
cents for the cciification.
Judge jenkins OF the Court OF
Civil Appeals and Judge Prendergass
OF the Court OF Criminal Appeals
also addressed the convention.
Judge ]. W Swayne. OF Fort
Worth. suggested that district judges
should have the power to fix the
penalty in a case as the Judge In q
Federal Court does and that II be
made a penitentiary offense for a
Jury 20 disobey the Instructions OF
the court, naming the offense as per-
| jury He said that In the sneed
case he instructed the jury on muir
der In the first and second degrees,
while II returned verdict OF not
guilty
The judges concluded their con-
vention this evening after having
adopted a number OF recommenda-
tions TO the next Legislature for
changes IN the form OF judicial pro-
cedure in the recommendation Is
that nine Jurors shall render a YER
dict In district court and five In coun-
