THE COURT OF
GENERAL SESSIONS

An unusually large amount of
business was transacted last week in
the Court of General Sessions. When
court adjourned on Saturday every
case on the docket had been tried and
disposed Of by the jury, and but for
the fact that the court did not ap-
prove of the verdict in one case, the
docket would now be clear.
The work performed was due to
several contributing causes. In the
first place, Judge Gary handles bust
LESS with dispatch. He is courte-
Gus to the attorneys, but he rules on
all points promptly and keeps things
in motion. His charges to the jury
are short, directly responsive to the
issues in the case, and when the case
is covered the charge is finished. This
promotes a clear understanding of
the issues as we'll as a thorough un-
derstanding of the law.
In the next place, Abbeville has a
bar whose members try their cases;
they are usually ready, and when
they go into a case there are no need
less delays, and no great amount of
time is taken up in arguing useless
motions and objections to testimony.
Witnesses are thoroughly examined,
but there is an absence of that repe-
tition which prolongs trials and con
sumes time.
When all cases on the docket at a
given term of the court are tried,
and every "a disposed of, it would
seem to a reasonable person that
there should be no complaints in this
county against the law. In fact,
this old complaint against The laws
delays is largely groundless in this
day and time. There should always
be deliberation in the trial of a seri-
Gus criminal ~offense, but cases should
be taken up with reasonable dispatch
and disposed of, and so far as this
county is concerned, this is done.

THE THIRD DEGREE

Section II of the Declaration of
Rights, in the Constitution of 1895,
provides that no person shall be COM
PEELED in any criminal case to be a
witness against himself. 1t has been
accordingly held that where a de-
PENDANT is sworn in a criminal case
as a witness against himself that a
conviction will not stand. .
But the intention of the law is
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1915-09-15

broader than it's letter. And the
sense of right which dictated
its provisions tells every man, if he
will examine himself, that no man
should convict himself, whether the
evidence be given as a witness in a
court of justice against himself, or
extorted from him outside of the
court by whatever pretext. The
American sense of right rebels
against the conviction of men on ex-
tra-judicial confessions made with
out the benefit of counsel, especially
where confessions are made to ar
resting officers.
Some little time ago an officer in
this state told US that a solicitor of
this state had advised him to talk to
his prisoners and get statements from
them whenever the same was posi-
ble. We are of the opinion that
this solicitor, however honest he may
be, does not appreciate the spirit and
purposes of American institutions
and the rule of fair play. 1t is not
the duty of an officer to get a state
ment from a prisoner. He has no
right to question a prisoner. A
statement made to an officer by a
prisoner under arrest should be con-
clusively presumed to be obtained I'M
der duress, because as a matter of
fact, this practically always is the
case. And especially is this true
in the cases of charges against ne
groes. The officer may be perfectly
honest in his effort to learn the truth,
but every man, who knows a negro,
knows that when an officer tells the
negro to tell what he knows about a
case, the negro does so under some
kind of compulsion.
Some of the courts have so held.
Our court has held to the contrary,
and while we are all bound by the
decisions of the court as long as the
decisions stand, there is no reason
why these decisions should stand,
when they are not in accord with the
experiences of men who know. The
legislature should correct the grow
ing evil of having an officer present
at the trial of every criminal case to
testify to a voluntary confession"
when such confessions are not VOL
untary.
The confession of no man should
be heard in d criminal court when the
same is alleged to have been made to
an officer, either before or after ar
rest, unless in the presence of and by
the advice of counsel. You may saw
that some guilty men will escape.
We will grant that; but American
courts will command more respect
from the right thinking, and the JUS
tlce dispensed will commend itself to
more people if the rule be establish
ed, and fewer innocent men will
suffer. This thing Of hearing con-
LESSONS is but a step towards the es-
enlistment of the third degree-it
is the third degree itself in a meas
ure; and the system has no place
among civilized people. The Good
Book itself does not contemplate that
all guilty men will be convicted. It
was thought by the inspired writers
that it was better to be right than to
convict always.

EBERT BEDE SAYS

The country that has good roads is on
the highway Of success.
To man love comes after business
to pretty profitable business.
The worst children, of course, are
the ones that aren't yours.
Some people gather knowledge with
the brain, others with the nose.
Everyone is inclined to give the in
dustrious, honest man fair show.
The greatest trouble some people
have is listening to the troubles others
have.
We can't imagine what a woman
wants with a husband whom she can
trail around at the end of her apron
strings.
We suspicion that some parents lay
the plans for an elopment to save all
the expense and trouble of a regular
wedding.
Some wives act as if they would be
the most surprised persons on earth if
someone should tell them how crooked
their husbands are.
Nearly every family has kin that they
refer to with kind of awe and others
that they don't refer to at all if they
can help it.
1t is hardly wise to form conclusions
on man upon what his wife says
about him-whether her remarks are
lauatory or derogatory matters not.
If others had the same information
upon which to base an opinion of us as
we have ourselves, lot of us would
not be considered so important
One of the easiest ways to swindle a
man is to tell him that you have a
proposition that you wish to present
only to hard-headed, cautious bust
ness man.
We have just discovered how woman
got her name. When the Creator made
her he said, "woe man." In the transit
ton of language the &c" has been
dropped.
An exchange speaks of new fashion
sweeping scant feminine draperies to
the fashion limbo. That's an improve
ment we suppose upon exposing the
limb Oh!
