4 CONTRAST.

II is worthy OF note that the selec-
ton OF jury to try Sir Roger Case
mcnt on charges OF high treason re-
CURED only forty minutes. Several
weeks we're consumed before a jury
could be secured TO try Harry Thaw
for murder OF stanford white.
STR Roger Easement is an English
man OF high rank with record for
distinguished service 10 his country,
The offense for which he Ia being
tried Is usually considered the gray
est known 20 the law aud Is involved
in maze Of delicate technicalities.
Harry Thaw is an American million
aire. The crime with which he stooo
charged presented no novel or unus-
uai features IL was aai ordinary
case of homicide With jealousy as a
motive.
And yet the Easement jury was Sc
cured In forty minutes while the 1'haw
jury claimed the attention Of the
court for weeks.
The contrast bet~ cen the two cases
Ia typical OF the contrast between
English and American methods in
Jurisprudence. Apparently, wealth
ana station have less Influence in tho
administration OF the law in England
than in the United states. Certainly.
less attention is paid TO frivolous
technicaiitics, and fewer opportuni-
ties are afforded to obstruct the
course OF justice BY avoidable delays.
And YET there appears to have been
no complaint on the part Of SIR Rog-
or Casement's attorney TINT the de-
PENDANT WIS being "railroaded'" or
that any substantial right was denied
him
The laws OF most Of the states of
the union are founded upon the Eng
lish law. Magma chafta, the bill OF
rights and other landmarks OF indi-
viduai liberty too numerous 10 men
ton are OF English origin. How far
we have gotten away from the ancient
moorings OF our judicial system may
be judged by the contrast between
the methods of selecting juties in the
Easement case and the rhaw case.
There Is much reason TO suspect
that in this country we have seized
tho shadow OF justice while paying
slight heed 10 its substance.

gone on the trip from when no one

Charley used to fire on the Atlanta,

quit the job some time ago to engage
in other work, locating in the vicinity
of Manchester. Charley was a good
negro, and was known and liked by
both white and colored among many
of the roads employees.
Several days ago he decided that he
wanted to take trip to Fitzgerald or
some ether place, and the thought of
paying fare never occurred to him. He
climbed on a freight engine headed
this way and told the engineer and
fireman that he was going for a trip.
He found a comfortable place on the
rear end of the tank and lay down
When the train was brought to stop
