THE GRAHAM AND HANLEY CASES

The renders Of the Free Press have
seen in these columns the announcement
of the postponement Of the trial in the
Washington county court Of the cases
against former Governor Horace F. Ora
ham and former State Purchasing Agent
Dewey r.. Hanley. AS the administration
of Horace Graham recedes into the past
and takes its place in the list of notable
administrations of which our common
wealth has boasted. 1t is impossible for
ed anew with the pathetic features Of
this whole situation. This is particularly
the case when one compares the Graham
administration with other recent admin
!stratons, 1t so commended itself to the
people of the State as a whole that there
Is a marked degree of sympathy for Ora
ham even now, although we all realize
that Justice must take its due course.
despite the fact that high station may
be involved. In this connection the Rut-
land News says:
poncment until September of the GRIM
lnal cases against former Governor Hor.
ace f. Graham and former Purchasing
Agent Dewey T. Hanley will be received
by the public at large. There cannot fail
to be regret at .dilatoriness in bringing
these cases involving the integrity and
good name of Vermont to speedy is
sue. There may be good and sufficient
reason for the inability of the attorney
general to try these cases as scheduled.
But he has authority under State law to
employ assistance, and 1t seems perfect
~ natural that attorney General H.
G. Barber, who is thoroughly familiar
with the cases by reason Of his investi-
cations would he natural prosecuting Of
less at the Gction that has been taken.
SC the report from Montpelier Of the post
poncments is trustworthy"
Il will be recalled that there was fric-
ton between the old attorney general and
the new previous to the election In con
noctlon with the assignment Of States
Attorney Allen Martin. Of Chittenden
county, to tho handling of certain mat
ters in bennington county. This fact may
explain the inability of representatives
of the State to get together. There have
also been marked evidences of sympathy
on the part Of men in high place with the
necessary to take this case outside OF
the State in order to get fair trial OF
the case by jury remains to be seen.

to ascertain the highest herd average

liable in many respects. Observation
