DESERVED TO BE FREE.

As to be expected a jury acquitted Mrs.
Wright OF killing her husband. 1t didn't take
them long to do So either and they all mar
ried men, OF all the murder trials that we have
had here lately this the limit on the part OF
the prosecution. Rush just seemed to turn himself
lose in meanness. What ails the fellow is beyond
He to take exceptional delight in
digging into unfortunate people like this woman
have always thought that district attorney was
a prosecutor and not prosecutor. The Wright
woman had no license to kill her husband or run
wild with her affections, whatever the provoca-
ton. But she had burden that was almost be-
yond human endurance, and that was entitled to
all the protection the law could give her, and there
was no call for the unspcakablc slime that Rush
deemed it his duty to bring up And that excre-
ment in shape OF Redmond hired, it is said by
pieces OF silver TO make the for the pun
ishment of the woman. that the limit. Then
the effort to put the son who was the mothers
stay and prop, into jeopardy What can the dis
trict attorney be thinking OF? am opposed to tax
ing of human life by any one, and more so when il
is attempted in the of the law. and that law in
the hands OF a man who seems to seek to plume
himself at the expense OF the unfortunate and the
mistaken. A jury, under the circumstances that
would have brought in any other kind of a verdict
should have been out OF town. 1t seems to me
that kush is playing his hand little too strong.
There have been threats of recall but he has evi-
IDENTITY no fear, believing he has big paper in
tluence behind him. But in this trial he stepped
into something. His fight with Judge Lindsay in
the question OF the Wright boy has boosted the
Judge right up again into the limelight and favor
able public opinion And who would be the man
to put against Rush il recall cameY Nobody but
Ben b. That's all. And they both are supposed
to have the same newspaper support What nice
fight it would make
