THE FALTIN CASE

In ali trutn lt may ne tndL WlllIdii
Faltin, when he killed Carl Peterson
as the result of quarrel, did not
do so deliberately and with pre-
meditation. The evidence that con-
victed Faltin was purely circum'
stantial and sentence to life impris.
onment would seem the fitting end
of such conviction.
But it appears that the conviction
was for -blooded, deliberate,
premeditated killing, so the jury
decreed, and Faltin was sentenced
to be hung.
The case was carried into the
State Supreme Court, which affirmed
the decree of the lower court.
At this time the question of Fal.
tins insanity was not raised, and, as
far as we can learn, the defense was
on entirely different lines and the
Supreme Court had only to decide
on the law points of the case, which
evidently showed that Faltin had
received a fair trial.
In the endeavor to save Faltin
from the gallows, it now appears
that the question of insanity has
been brought to life at the last
moment, on the very day and hour
set for his execution, as a reason
for the failure of Warden Sims to
carry out the mandate of the law,
and coming as it does, when every
other means had failed to have the
verdict set aside, and the only thing
left to be done to uphold the law
was the execution of the unfortu-
nate man, the plea of insanity does
not appear to be honest and without
doubt was brought out as The last
card to be played to prevent the
sentence of the court from being
carried out.
We do not now, never have and
never will believe in judicial mur.
der as means to prohibit murder.
We do believe that convicted mur.
derer should be removed to a place
of confinement for the rest of his
. natural life, to a place where he
cannot do further harm to society,
but we also believe in the majesty
of the law, that it is supreme and
above all farcical proceedings, such
as has been the history in the cases
of all convicted murderers the past
two years.
We fail to see what good can be
accomplished when any public serv.
ant ignores his oath of office in
which he takes a solemn obligation
to see that the laws of the State are
carried out. Warden Sims action
in waiting until the day of Faltin' s
execution to have affidavits brought
forth claiming that the convicted
man was insane, savors too much of
a deep-laid plot to be used as last
excuse for failing to carry out the
law, and his action will probably do
more harm than good to the move
ment to have the law changed from
death to life Imprisonment.
We do not believe that Warden
Sims is given any power by statute
to set aside the law, and must up
hold the action of Attorney General
Jones in citing Sims for contempt
of the mandate of the State Su-
preme Court.
There is no officer in this State
that is above the law and Warden
Sims should be made to realize this
fact.

PADDLE HIS OWN KANUEn

Fearing that his runaway son
would carry out an often expressed
desire to enlist in the United States
Marine Corps, Morris Kanue. of
Leopold, West Virginia, has written
to the local recruiting office of the
sea soldiers" as follows:
u. S. Marine Corps,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
hereby warn you not to employ
or hire my son. Anthony Kanue, as
submarine of the Navy. He has
run away from home and | think he
has gone to Pittsburgh to enlist.
He is only II years old, in proof of
which / am only 80 myself. If he
comes there whale him within an
inch of his life and send him back
to me.
His father,
MORRIS KANUE."
Sergeant Michael DeBoo, in charge
of the Pittsburgh recruiting office
of the United States Marine Corps,
has assured the anxious parent that
the boy will not be enlisted should
he apply, but that whaling" him
is out of the question, and the faith
er should paddle his own Kanue. "
