JUSUCE:

There's a fine Irish saying "fair pI.% is a ieweI". aqd so indeed il fs. Fair play between man and man ts the oaly element that c.p@ andow our social system w.eh an, &iud os stability.
 Fair play for all is equality and independence and everything that ,hc Declaration oI Independence says are iuali n2hle rights of mon.
 Iu nowhere then is it 90 pre-emi- .aut1v necessary as in the eoar.s o. law. las;a. apa.rt.oumcot ot jus 5a.. t1aro .Ho8ld be no tgiat.
 With these earora. frtag5aeree} remarks attention cen wel2 }e dt- reetaj 10 thc trid O. q man eaIle, 3xmau. G@mau is the man whose testimony convicted another man called Mooney of compliCity in a bomb Slot to destroy a prepared ness parad. when the result of such q plot was the killing ot several ot lhe paraders end the iajur" ot several others.
 After Oxman had handed io fis testimony if was discovered tha h. had sent for man named Rig&N to come and give corrcborat i've evidence and for which the e1- uerses etc. would he well paid.
 The exposure resulted in Oxman being tried for perjury.
 Now mans life depends unon gho fact O: perjury having been committed by Oxnan or not, and ve. We discover every effort made by the authorities to protect OXman so that his acquittal is for"gone co?clusion.
 In the first place OXman is to he cried by Judge Dunne who is a rank partisan of the Chamber of Comm cree. He declared three days before the trial that OXman was innocent Sitting around OXman, , vc are quoting from the report of lhe proceedings "are six lawyers, Four are supposed to bic prescott ing. two defending him. There is not a real prosecutor in the bunch'.
 Tn charge of the jury venire was Gaetouo Malpiede who was caught forging a friends name on the Rena Mooney jury panel; Detective ser peant Bill Proll, a personal friend of Oxman, and high !. .4 a" '1ot; and detective Ed W...unall, ick- art's most piable tool
 One Of the jurors that had been passed was found harranguing tho rest of the ta,esmen before the trial started upon the guilt of Mooney and the rest and urging ONman's ac1uiltal-tho acluittal of the man about to he tried. The following passagts from the letters to Rigall are to be explained: I have chance Tor YOU to como to San Francisco rs an expert witness, A very i'm portant case. You will only have to ..4awer three or four questions and ! will pest you On thcm. You will ect mileage &ad all witness can draw, probably q hundred dollars in inc clear.
 You will be allowed 10 collect Ii cents a mile rom tho state which wnl be about $20O besides I will get your eXpcvac2 and you will only have to say you seen me in San Francisco July 22nd and that win be easy done. I will try 10 meet you on the way out and talk it over.
 Here are also some interesting pag3agcs to Mrs. Rignall, assuring her he might also be able to use .er in the ease.
 Oxman told tEc grand jury that investigated his case that he added a postscript on another page max ing this offer conditional on Rigali being the man he SOW on Market st. that day.
 Now, we scid mans life is hanging on the fact of this mans perjury and instead of trying to rigidly discover the facts, here we have had tho stage cleared for a general whitcwashing of one of the damndest criminals that ever viol- ,ted an oath.
 Fair play is a jewel but the play
