The Crawford Case

The trial of Annie Crawford has
ended. 1t was u mistrlal, nine OF
twelve jurors favored her acqultal.
The evidence against the accused
was circumstantial in that degree
which would impress strong doubt
in her favor. Miss Crawford admit
ted that she had by mistake given
her sister the poison with no intent
to kill her. 1t would seem that the
defendant and her sister had used
morphine frequently. The State
prosecuted her with unrelenting en-
ergy which from our view smacked
more of a persecution than pros
|ecutiOn.
1t may be conceded that the de,
tails developed during this trial
were nauSeating, but what else could
have been expected.
The only comment that the Cau-
CaSian would venture is that if the
State were to apply the same Vigor
in prosecuting offenders as was di-
rected against Miss Crawford more
than one rascal enjoying the ire,
dom and the privileges of a gentle
man would be in the State peniten-
tiary.
