Iudue Reed and the KorH Case.

EDITOR TINES
Much Of the discussion Of the
policy of Judge Reed in the Kord
case has trend Of injustice which is
not iusti6d by the facts, ! cannot
believe that the Judge was ever in.
tentionally wrong in his manage.
ment of the trial The facts, briefly
stated, are these, Korli established
a bank at Everton, and run it a
short time az a loss OF several
thousands Of dollars, He was in.
dieted on eleven counts, pleaded
guilty TO all the charges, was
sentenced by the court to the pcni.
tentiary for two years on each
count but in the place OF being sent
for twenty two years he escaped
with two. The punishments were
made 70 run eoncurrently, He stay.
ed in the penitentiory two or three
months and was pordoned by Gov
Hays,
The smnlness Of the punishment,
connected with the fact that Tobe
Woods and myself as candidates had
severely denounced Judge Reed
throughout the judicial district for
making the punishments concurrent
and giving the prosecuting attorney
$3.50 90 in ten convictions not me-
cessary has caused Judge Reed 70
suffer, at this timc because these
criticisms are being revived and en-
larged by Republicans and others
deslrous OF defeating Judge Reed in
the September election
A fair statement Of Reeds motives
should be published, AZ the time
the pleas Of guilty were entered he
could not know all the facts, lie
had 60 depend on the statements Of
lawyers and did do so,
The lawyers did not lie None
were 80 crude or base They con
fined their statements 20 u Truthful
outline of just such facts as they
wanted the court to know, 1t was
a natural desire on the part of the
prosecuting attorney to want a con.
viction on all the charges, Jim
Shinn, assisting him, wanted con-
vietion in order that he might col
leet $4,000 for bis clients from a
company that was surety for korf,
A conviction was necessary for col.
eeton, or nt least convenient,
Troy Pace for KorA, was interest.

terms, Judge Reed was IN a triangle

connected. Of course he heard OF
Korf7 guilt and of his mental weak
ness. He had no evidence except
Kort1's plea O.. guilt. He concluded
to make the punishment light, anG
Kort's sanity or lack Of it could
soon be established
! thought at the time Judge Reed
was wrong. think so now, but
from a different view point. kortt
may have been sane when the crime
was committed. ! do not know, but
! am certain that he was almost a
drivelling IDIOT at the trial !
thought So and the action of the
authorities at Little Rock confirms
this view, Jndge Reed gave TO Gus
Scawell and Jim Shinn, who repre-
sented the State and the Bank, all
they asked,
By 50 doing Shinn has been able
to collect $500 for his clients, He
is satisfied, Pace is satisfied because
he has freed his client Gus Scawell
is satisfied because he sustained the
whole eleven charges, Judge Reed
was then not satisfied and is not
now.
He then Justly suspected Korh's
insanity, and is now convinced that
Korff was not rational or normal
when sentenced, and that in all
probability he will never regain a
normal condition, In this he is
right He regrets that he did not
have a judicial inquiry at the time,
He would have done so, but all the
lawyers opposed that action and he
did not have sufficient facts then to
justify him in making such an order.
This article is not intended as a
sword thrust at Judge John ], Wor-
thington, nor as a protecting shield
for Judge Reed. Yours sincerely
