THE LONG-GUIN CASE.

AS we saw it the biggest item OF
local news in the county last week was
the trial of Mr.. Long for the killing
of Mr. Guin. The court house was
filed at each session of TIE court by
an eager crowd of spectators. The
editor OF The Herald and News did
not hear any of the testimony He did
hear the speeches of Mr.. E. S. Blease
and Solicitor Cooper and the charge
Of Judge Smith. And the report of
the trial that appeared in the last is
sue was written by the editor. So if
there is any error or unjust criticism
or incorrect statement he is respon-
Sible. 1t was not our purpose to make
any criticism in the report of the
case because that is not the province
of the reporter and we try to make
whatever comment it is desired to
make in the editorial columns.
The testimony or the abstract Of
the testimony was furnished at our
request by the court stenographer. He
had no interest in the case and in Civ
ing tie testimony we are sure~that he
had no idea or intention of being other
than absolutely fair and impartial.
It seems that both sides think
that the report did injustice. 1t must
therefore be a pretty correct report.
Of course it was not our intention to
give full report of the testimony.
A correspondent who believes in
jury trial says that we left out some
of the important testimony for the
defense. Mr.. Parks says that the re-
port was an outrage and did not state
the testimony correctly. AS stated
the testimony that we printed was fur
nisned at our request by the court
stenographer and We are willing to
stand by its correctness. 1t was not
a full statement of all the testimony
We are a strong believer in jury
trial. We do not believe that news
paper criticism of the verdicts will
help the cause of justice. The critic
cannot always if ever put himself in
the position of the juror. Tie juror
has taken the oath and he is respon-
sible for the verdict. The critic stands
OFF and glibly criticizes. 1t might be
different if positions were changed.
That jury was composed of as good
citizens as this State produces and
several persons were heard to remark
On the high class of men tat were
on the jury. We have no criticism to
make of them or the verdict except
to say that We believe they were
honest in reaching their conclusion
and did so upon their oath as they saw
the evidence and the law. No man
could have been true to himself and
done otherwise We publish two COM
munications on the subject in this is
sue and with them there will be no
further articles printed on this sub
ject.
No one VINO knows Solicitor Cooper
will question the fact that he did his
duty.
