0. ]. SMITH DISCHARGED

After considering the habeas
CORPUS case of o. j. Smith and
others for a year or more, the
supreme court Monday rendered a
decision discharging them from
custody. Smith and his co-deten-
dants were indicted on nine
charges Connected with the wreck
ing of the Eureka County Bank.
According to the Gazette dispatch,
the court held that: the arrest of
the defendants was illegal and
under the law no offense was COM
mitted. They were charged with
receiving deposits in the Eureka
County Bank when they. knew that
the hank was in an insolvent
condition.
The case went to the supreme
court from Wabhoe county after
Judge Moran had denied the
petition for writ of habeas
corpus.
That the Eureka County Bank
was wrecked is matter of
history. That no chine was COM
mitted in its wrecking is the
decision of the highest court in
the state. This may be in accor-
dance with law, but it falls far
short of being justice.

TRAINER NOT LEGALLY DEAD

j. Frank TRAINER, the Inlay
murderer, must face a jury on
the charge of murder for killing
Jean Quiliic at Inlay last February.
He was tried for the murder If
Mrs. Quillici and convicted of
murder in the first degree and
given life sentence. He was
afterward brought to trial on the
charge Of killing MIR. Quillici and
his attorneys sued out a writ in the
supreme court to prevent his trial,
basing it on the theory that Tram
ner was a prisoner in the peniten.
tiary and in the legal custody of
the warden of the prison, and
was legally dead as far as the
district courts were concerned, and
therefore could not be taken from
the penitentiary ard tried for any
crime.
The decision of the supreme
court upsets this theory and makes
it plain that an innate Of the
prison can be tried like any other
criminal. Let us hope that the
next jury that tries him will have
courage enough to afix the death
penalty as his punishment. He
richly deserves the rope.
