What Speedy Trials Did.

Philadelphia has found an effective
way to deal with the crime wave. All
the law enforcement agencies of the
city dropped their chickering's and got
busy at the same time. The board of
Judges doubled the number OF criminal
courts. For five weeks the judges. as
sistant district attorneys and city and
county detectives kept incesssntly at
work. Precedents were broken. Delays
were not tolerated. Thus Philadelphia
handled the longest list of criminal
cases in any single term of the history
Of its criminal courts. OF these fifty
nine were homicide cases involving
sixty-four defendants.
One judge startled the underworld
by his action in first degree murder
Eases. Many lawyers customarily
entered general pleas Of guilty 10
indictments in cases where no pos
sibility existed of proving the in
nocence of their clients or presenting
any ameliorating circumstances The
invariable practice in the courts had
been to accept the pleas and fix the de-
gree of homicide as second. This Judge
ignored the precedent and sentenced a
murder who based his entire hope Of
escape from the death penalty on the
long standing practice TO the electric
chair a. guilty of frs;-degree murder.
That ended the custom.
The district attorney notified the
public at the end of the cleanup that
the Office had caught up with its job.
that the dockets were cleared. and that
within a week Of arrest criminals now
cOuld he placed on trial The criminal
