editorial from the Louisville Courier-J journal
that must make a strong appeal to the pride
OF the people Of Virginia. 1t Is the most glow
ing tribute of the many fine tributes paid Nir~
Finia Justice by the newspapers of the country
since The BETTY Trial more than year ago,
and, best OF AL, Il is founded upon truth
In his day. and time. when human life seems
to he held at small price in tins country and
when murderer after murderer goes free. il is
little wonder that the newspapers Of other States
are moved to enquire why 1t is that in Virginia
murderers are prosecuted and generally con-
Nicted irrespective Of their rank station or color
Take the asses enumerated by the Courier
Journal They include two prominent mon, a
negro woman ana a gang Of mountain outlaws,
A u were prosecuted alike and convicted t1e
en-" being given the same justice the other.
There perhaps many underlying causes Of
the sfernness Of Virginia Justice but the para
mount cause is public opinion. In Virginia
human life is still held a thing sacred and
that public demands that the individual no
matter who he be, who wantonlv takes a fife
shall he prosecuted to the fun extent OF the
law. Public opinion is behind the court the
prosecutor and the jury, and all know that when
those three do their solemn duty they will meet
with naught but just approval
But there js nothing Of rashness about this
public opinion against murder. When the culprit
is captured the same public opinion that de-
mnnds punishment also demands a fair and
impartial trial for the atcuse@fi4e law il h.l,i
in respect by the great body of citizens and they
see t II that the law takes its course That
IS why We rarely ever have lynchines in this
state.
Courts command public respect so long as
they enforce the law teartessly and impartially
and without undue DELAY. That is the way the
courts operate in This state and when a muir
dcrer IS apprehended the public knows that
he viii be duly brought &c trial given a fair
nearing and, if guilty. will re punished -
As We have pointed out on previous occasions.
if the courts of other states would bur emulate
the example Of he Virginia courts, the public
