RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
BY GAYLORD NELSON

we're six times as many miscar-
rtages of justice, mistrials. and
judicial errors imperiling the rights
Of accused persons to fair trial
such as are valid grounds for an
appeal TO the higher courts-in
1925 than in 19242 If so the In
diana judiciary has suddenly be-
come incompetent.
The conclusion is obvious. There
is a growing disposition on the
part of defendants lawyers to ap-
peal cases on technicalities and
flimsy pretexts.
Bar associations bewaii the in
creasing congestion of the courts.
They urge more courts, more
judges, more dignity, speeding up
Of court procedure, and this and
that to improve the administration
of Justice. The lawyers themselves
could remedy the situation. If they
are in earnest. II they would re-
strain their own appetites for APP
peals on technicalities.

guilty to manslaughter In court
at Noblesville Monday. He was
sentenced to two years in the State

That's getting away nicely with
murderer at least reducing Il to
the level of a misdemeanor. The
punishment is almost as severe
as If the youth had disregarded a
stop sign, parked on the wrong
side of the street, or committed
some similar serious offense.
Perhaps a two-year sentence suf-
ficiently indicated the majesty Of
the law in this particular case.
All the boy did was to shoot down
in cold blood, with stolen gun,

However, in the same courtroom
where Prater drew two years, D.
G. Stephenson couple OF weeks
ago was convicted and drew a life
sentence in State prison for the
death of Madgt Oberholtzer. The
verdict and sentence in that case
were generally approved by de-
cent people.
Madge Oberholtzer and the
street car conductor both lost their

There are just three cars on the

Now the little fellow knew his chance Of
getting his dog back under this system was
pretty slim. But it was still simmer any other
way he looked at it. He certainly could not
lick the bully. So he agreed. Likewise the
bully. To him it looked like cinch.
But the cop insisted upon certain rules He
said the only fair way would be for him to
stand between the two boys to see that neither
took any advantage of the other, while some
neutral held the dog at distance. Both boys
would then call at the same time and the one
the dog picked out would be ''it.''

this effort a great stride has
been made towards world peace.
