EFFORTS TO STOP
DELAY BY APPEALS

Efforts to bring about changes il
procedure in criminal cases so as tt
prevent so much delay and to ge
more intelligent and fewer ignoran
men on the juries featured the an
nual conference of solicitors here last
night, the solicitors being practically
in accord that. too many appeals are
made to delay the sentences of the
court. At the same time the general
opinion was that the right of appeal
should not be denied in any case, bu,
the abuse of this right should be
stopped by the courts.
Following addresses and sugges-
tions two committees were appointed
by Attorney General Wolfe to frame
recommendation along the lines as
suggested by the solicitors to bring
about some changes in the matter OF
criminal procedure, especially in the
matter of appeals, and to see what
could be done to strengthen the
juries by requiring service of more
of the better class Of men. Solicitor
A. j. Hydrick of the First circuit, So
licitor L. NJ Gasque Of the Twelfth
circuit and Solicitor Gunter of the
Second cidcuit were appointed on the
committee to make recommendations
in regard to the changes to be sug-
gested in the procedure for criminal
cases. Solicitor I. C. Blackwood of
the Seventh circuit, Solicitor Ran
dolph Murdaugh of the Fourteenth
circuit and Solicitor Thomas P
Stoney of the IIinth circuit were a
pointed on the committee to look into
the matter Of jury service. Recon-
mendations made by the committee
will be presented to the legislator
next year.
In opening the conference, which
followed dinner at the Jefferson
Attorney General Wolfe spoke of the
crime record in South Carolina for
the past three years, pointing to the
fact that in 1920 the records show
that 247 people were slain and in 1921

crime element Mr.. Wolfe said that he
had yet to see college trained man
on trial for murder or larceny. Mr.
Wolfe said that there must be some
change that can be made to remedy
the defects of the law so as to stop
the crime wave and he told. the soliei.
tors it was up to them to use theil
effoffrts to this end The attorney
general emphasized the rights of de-
PENDANTS must be respected, but that
the abuse of these rights ought t.
be stopped. we must show the peo
pie that justice will be meted out b!
the courts and we will have no mob
violence" Mr.. Wolfe declared, adding
that where justice was not given
mob violence was encouraged. Mr.
Wolfe complimented Solicitor Spigne,
for the handling of the Annette case
and declared that the manner il
which this case was handled created
a wholesome respect for law and fol
the courts.

ported that the rebel chiSE Gorozave,

morning after "a hoeS sstay. The
message, dated yests rdst seemed to
have cleared the air but on it's heels
came another dispatch filed last night
by the consul saying th4t the rebels
had seized the Pecera tAmp of the
British owned La CarenA company
and that about half q dozen Ameri-
cans were among the s5 men held
there. IS
No further advices came, during the
day. In demanding, 9,0oO pesos for
the surrender of theaPeeera property
and the employees the rebels fixed
July 2 as the date by which payment
must be made. Whether the $4,000
pesos demanded at the Aquada camp
was made was not stated :ia any of the
messages received. dr
The site department., promptly in
structed Charge Summeritn at Mex

new raid on the British owned COM
pany. Mr.. Summerlin also was direct

that detailed accounts Of what took

good on a part of this threat at least.

Inc state mas OBTAINED the desired
information from the records at the
secretary of states office and from
other reliable sources. The records
show that Governor Blease granted
1,7O8 pardons, paroles and commuta-
tions of sentences during his four
years as governor against 3O3 par
dons, paroles and combinations of
sentences and restorations Of citizen
ship by Governor Cooper during the
three years and four months he was
governor. These figures may contain
a few Implications, but they are very
nearly accurate, coming within few
cases of being absolutely accurate. In
the 1,708 granted by Governor Blease
are not included large number of
pardons granted to same persons he
had already paroled under his "blan-
ket pardon" granted short time be-
fore he went out of office. In this
"blanket pardon" Governor Blease re-
stored all the persons he had paroled
during good behavior to citizenship.
Governor Cooper's record was 2O3
paroles during good behavior, IL par
dons, SO restorations Of citizenship
and 25 combinations Of sentences.
Governor Manning granted 217 par
dons, paroles, restorations of citizen
ship and combinations Of sentences
druing his four years, divided as fol-
lows: 157 paroles during good beha-
vior, seven pardons, 20 communications
Of sentences and "a reservations, of
