A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
Editor The Georgian

Editor The Georgian:
In my opinion the very inter

Jones, appearing in your issue
Of Saturday, relative to County
Attorneys, might be added to in
the following respects with great
benefit to our procedure, the en-
foTceneut OF law, and the proper
protection OF ouP people
In abolishing the present Of
fec OF Solicitor General with it's
too large Geld OF several couu
ties. let there be in each county
instead not only . Public Pross
cutor. but a Public Defender as
well. This would assure every
p.rEen accused OF crime al equal
opportunity with the Stats -
making proper presentation Of nis
case in the trial court.
Then let It be further provided
that should the defendant engage
additional counsel that the State
engage similar assistance at an
expense equal to that OF the de-
PENDANT, the cost OF this addi-
tionsl counsel on both sides 10 be
paid by the losing party, that
is by the State il the defendant Ia
acquitted. an6 By the defendant
II no Is convicted.
Thus again would equality be
assured, In so far as possible, be-
tween the State and the defend
ant in the presentation or their
cases, and the tremendous advsn-
tass enjoyed by the wealthy Grim
snAl under our present procedure
would be done away with.

If it be true, as the ordinary phenom-

as society increases in completely and

must seek some other than the pres.

PHASE OF RoosEvElTIsM PEG

Disposition OF the Case Of ths/others
in Virginia an Answer te Absurd
Theories Put Forward by the
Lesser Of the ''Third Party"


Floyd Allen and Claude Swanson Al
Ten. father and 500, died in the cleo
uric chair in the Virginia penitentia-v
at Richmond Their execution was
the stern answer OF the courts and
the people of Virginia to the doctrine
Of the recall If judges. which the
Allen clan had put into practical oper~
alton in Carroll county.
For years the members of the Al
len family had dominated the politics
and government of Carroll county.
They cultivated the belief that an Al
len Wis, and of right ought to be, in
many ways above the law. Strange
as it may seem. this lawless notion
was largely accepted by the people
of Carroll county.
When a young kinsman of Floyd
Allen was arrested for disturbing a re-
ligious meeting, and Floyd Allen way
laid and soundly mauled the deputy
sheriff and set his prisoner free. the
performance does not seem to have
been regarded as outrageous or even
particularly unusual Apparently the
feeling was that the Aliens were just
exercising their privileges.
However, the judicial circuit of
which Carroll county is part hap
pened to have commemorative at
torney and a judge who ,iid not accept
the Allen idea of the respect due to
the laws and the courts. Floyd Alien
himself was arrested, found guilty and
was to go to prison. Having TITLED by
their usual methods to intimidate the
judge and prosecutor, the Aliens deter
mined TO recall them.
On the day that sentence was to be
pronounced on Floyd Allen the Aliens
packed the courtroom with armed
men. They we're the defective major
ity" which Mr. Roosevelt has declared
ought to have power TO recall a judge
or his decision when it is .displeasing
The Aliens opened fire as the jncse
pronounced the sentence, When the
smoke cleared away the prosecutor,
the sheriff and Juror lay dead on the
floor and the judge lay dead across
the bench.
Then the whole country saw what
the recall Of judges" means, leads to,
and is in practice. All thinking men
saw that such reversal of the deci-
sions of court of justice is the sub
stitution of the rule of a passion-driv'
en- mob for the reign of law. And the
state and people of Virginia woke up
to the disgrace put upon them by this
murderous outrage upon justice in her
very temple.
