THE CASE OF MIR. KUHLMEYER

E. o. Kuhlmeyer who shot and kill
ed Luther Kellogg on last Wednes-
day in the heart of Canon City may
go scott free. SO far as the machinery
of the law is concerned. without even
the formality OF a trial.
This you will learn from common
report and from the local columns of
The Record.
The coroner's jury brought in YER
dict finding that Kuhlmeyer shot and
killed kellogg but did not decide
whether with felonious intent, or
in self defense"
This verdict was brought in after
short investigation of the facts
and without much deliberation of the
matter.
This left it up to the District At.
torney TO tile an information, bring
Kuhlmeyer into court. and at a fair
and impartial trial let a jury decide
on his guilt or innocence.
But the District Attorney filed no
such information for the lack OF
which Kuhlmeyer was released from
custody and so far as we know, is
now far beyond the reach Of the local
authorities.
In light OF the facts in the case
known to the public, this sens to be
most extraordinary liberty on the
part OF the District Attorney.
II seems 10 be a rather light way
of taking so important a matter as
the shedding of human blood-the
taking OF a mans life.
/; may be that Ar. Kuhlmeyer could
come into court and in a fair and i'm
partial trial convince jury that he
killed Kellogg in self defense. or tina;
Re was justified in killing him any
way he could.
But the law recognizes no self
appointed executions. The machin
cry of the law is supposed TO bring

ting crimes and let a jury determine
the guilt or innocence of the defend
ants Where a mans life has been
taken-where murder may have been

with the enforcement of the lsw

be charged with the crime.

The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1916-12-07

The public has been told by the
coroner's jury. as well as by common
report, that Kuhlmeyer killed Kellogg.
The coroner's jury did not find that
the Killing was justifiable.
Under these circumstances is it not
most unusual and rather bad prece-
dent for the one man in the machin-
cry of the law who has that power
TO assume the liberty of freeing the
man who did the killing?
viii such actions not rather place
premium on self-styled justifiable
killings and make them appear to
many as an easy thing to get away
with?
Murder in Colorado has long been
taken rather lightly. Few convic-
tions have been secured. Insanity
and self-defense have been powerful
arguments in the hands of attorneys
for the defense.
Ii is well known that it seems to be
easier for the man who kills another
TO get an acquittal than it is for the
man who steals horse or buncoes a
merchant out of few dollars by a
bogus check.
But nevertheless. this is no good
reason for suspending the operations
of the law in relation to those who
kill fellowman.
Mr. Kuhlmeyer himself should
have demanded trial The charge
of murder will long hang over his
head He has by no means been
found guiitless of a crime Any pri-
vate citizen. the present district at.
jorney or the new district attorney
coming into office in January may file
an information against him at any
time. Or the first grand jury that is
called may indict him on the charge
of murder. He can be brought back
at any time to answer a charge OF
murder.
I If Mr., Kuhlmeyer had such good
grounds for proving his innocence in
court he should have demanded a
trial and have secured an acauittal.
IN which case he would have been
free from any future charge in this
case for an time to come.
We do not presume to pronounce
Mr. BpfiDeyer guilty of any crime
in killing Mr.. Kellogg. but in light OF
the facts brought out at the coroner's
inquest we do believe. with many
others. that "the People of Colorado. :
the majesty of the law in fact. would
have been best served If he had
been given a fair trial in open court.

The immensity of the task of war

that by concentrating our efforts up

1t is not a pleasant duty for three
years in succession to appeal to ones

men for money, no matter how good
the object may be. but this cause, we
feel, is one which should find a very
warm response in the hearts of all
Americans doubly blessed in their
isolation and detachment from the
