LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of the Caledonian,
Dear Sir:
An article in the Evening Calelo-
Man of May 18th, about Court in
Orleans County presided over by
Judge Will NJ. Wright appears some
what peculiar to some people and |
have heard it snoken of by a number
of ~eople. And many would like to
have the Honorable Court or the
States Attorney exnlain b. what pro-
cess of law or justice Mrs. Ethel
Tiff could be sent to the State Prison
at Windsor for eight or ten years,
and the man she pleaded iii OF
aiding has his name withheld from
publication and evidently Scot free Of
an blame in the matter.
Now altho we are not all from
"Missouri", we would like to know
why, if she aided him to commit a
criminal act, he is not as guilty as
she was and should take his medicine
the same as she has to. She could
hardly commit crime unless the
man had some mart in it, and if he
lad no part in it how could a crime
be committed And if there was no
crime committed why was she indict-
ed and sent to prison. From the ar
ticle it looks like a Hocus procus pro-
cess of law and Justice that needs eX-
nlanation Evidently Mrs. Tiff is a
degenerate of the lowest decree and
perhaps she would be better in an in
sane as,lum or Home for the Feeble
Minded. For it seems almost in
credible for a mother in her right
mind to wish to ruin her child But
however that may be | believe an
exclamation of the matter is in order.
And we all hone there has been no
error made in the case.
