deliciti was not proved, etc.

In his argument, Col. Cooper prais-
ed Hon. Hoke Smith for the use of his
pardoning power, and criticised eG'
Governor Brown and Governor John
NJ Slaton for their failures to grant
clemency to some of his clients. He
also deplored the fact that the SUI
preme court and court of appeals near
t. always sustain trial judges.
In declining to grant a new trial
Judge Park stated that while the YER
dict of acquittal in the case of Mrs
King, was a miscarriage of justice, yet
the two cases were separate and dis
tince, and that two wrongs do not
make a right, and he, therefore, or
dered the cerdict to stand.
