this question, if we recall Alright.
The News is advised that Solicitor
Martin holds a similar view Of the law
of the case and will indict the driver
of the car for murder.
The liability that reckless drivers
who say their fellow-heings will be
indicted for murder and may be con-
victed thereof ought to impress other
driver with the vital necessity for
due care in operating automobiles. II
they, with wanton negligence, end
the lives of others, they themselves
may forfeit their lives for their dis
regard Of the law. That possibll -
ought to sober the driver who uses
intoxicants,, steady the hand and slO't
the speed Of the joy-rider who treats
the public highways as private race
tracks.
Finally, Senator Bonham correctly
diagnoses the state of our legal lcra,
our opinion having been on parity
with that of the common or cornfield
variety of lawyer:
"But in these nice sharp outlets OF
the law
Good faith, am no wiser than a daw.
Or, as it is said in Romans, "BHt
now we are delivered from the law,
that being dead wherein we were
beld."

Nothing can help roor Chief Sam
Heath now. For him We can DO moth
ing, but we can do something to pre-
vent the recurrence Of such tragedies.
We can provide by law for increas-
ing the penalty in such cases to life
Imprisonment, if not to execution. We
can provide by law for the licensing
of all automobile drivers, requiring
strict and conclusive proof that they
are not addicted to the use of intoXi-
cants and that they are careful ana
petent drivers These things can Re
done if the force of public opinion IS
exerted upon the next legislature.
The State Of South Carolina is per-
hitting unfit and untrustworthy per-
sons to operate automobiles upon the
public highways. contrary to the well
far4, of the people. The public safety
is in Jeopardy. We can not entirely
prevent these tragedies, but We can
diminish their number.
If full justice could be secured in
this case, the man who sold the Ii

raigned beside him. not as accessory,
but as joint principal. The moral Of
yesterdays tragedy needs no elabora-
ton. for it is as clear as the \.

To the Editor. of The News:


To the Editor. of The News:
Sir: I read your editorial in today's
News and endorsed every sentiment
expressed therein. I approved not
oily what YOU sail but the way in
which you said it. However, (pardon
me for saying it,, You are a far BET
ter editor than you are criminal law
yer, and l do not mean to say you
have not some ability as the latter.
But. to quote the Hon. Geo Johnstone,
MARK you, I said some"
Your mistake was in assuming that
the slayer of Sam Heath could be con-
victed of no higher crime than man
slaughter. He will be indicted for
murder and, if the facts and circun1-
stances justify it, can be convicted OF
murder. Our law does not specify
what instrument must be use3 in g.
complishi~s1~ death, to constitute muir
der What the law does require is
that malice exist at the time that
death is inflicted. The illustration
often used by the courts to show that
legal malice may evist, where the
e1avar does not even know his victim.
is the case of the man who fires a
pistol into a crowd by which act he
kills a person he never saw A'f're.
OF course he is guilty Of murder. Is
there any less degree of malice in the
heart of the man WHO runs an auto
mobile, going fifty miles an hour, into
a street crowded with people? More
/ should say, for he may kill many.
