 REV. STEPHENSON
In Address Before University Alumni and Students, Ex- Governor Urges Greater
 Law Enforcement

Referring to the acquittal of Rev. Edwin R. Stephenson of the murder of Father James E. Coyle by a jury verdict Friday night, former Gov. Emmet O'Neal urged the alumni and students of the University of Ala bama at their luncheon yesterday at the Tutwiler hotel to uphold the law and to maintain the principle of re- 'ligious liberty against bigotry.
 While reading the morning paper at the breakfast table this morning 1t seemed to me that the most inn portant issue before the people Of Alabama was the protection of hu- man life and the majestic suprem- acy of the law" said Governor O'Neal And 1t now occurs to me that no agency in Alabama can do more towards inaugurating 8 cru- sade for greater civic virtue and righteousness among our people and a stronger and more efficient en- forcement of our criminal law than the University of Alabama.
 WndteVeT may Dc our Wcdltn Auu resources, they will be but dross in where murder is justified and where religious hate and intolerance sway the administration of the law.
 Life Less Secure
 After reading the verdict rem dered on yesterday, no thoughtful citizen could but feel that human life had become, cheaper and less secure in Alabama. We have not advanced far from savagery or barbarism if murder is to be Justified on account of the religious creed of the victim. It may be claimed that our admin istration of the criminal law has broken down. I do not agree to that conclusion. The breakdown Is not in the law, but in the inefficiency of it's enforcement.
 Has not the time come in Ala bama when we should adopt some method of securing stronger, abler and more courageous Judges to en- force our criminal law? It is as true today as when Rufus Choate said; If on the one side are the people. the creators and bestowers of the Judges honors, demanding the blood of some individual, however obscure and unpopular, and he Is satisfied that lnc Iudu iS s diiAiCSo, piN AAS MY" not deliver him, there Is no judge. On the other hand. if a man Is guilty, and his release demanded by ma jority of the people. and the evil dence establishes his guilt. and the judge yields to public sentiment. Le is unworthy of the office he holds.
 Religious Bigotry.
 Tn conclusion, permit me to say that conditions in Jefferson county are largely due to odious. religious big otry.s Let us all unite in maintaini n :, invlolate those eternal principles of civil and religious liberty upon which our free institutions were founded. Let the University of Alabama take the leadership in answering the chal- lenge now enforced upon our atten- t!on--a leadership for the supremacy of the law and it's equal protection to all of our people. regardless Of race or creed"
