TAKES Up PLEAS
IN BUSCH MURDER
Court Occupies Holiday in
Reading Prayers Submitted
by Counsel.

Justice William Hitz, presiding over
the Busch murder trial. Is spending
the legal holiday considering more
than 100 prayers Of opposing counsel
In the case for instructions to the
fury which the attorneys seek to have
embodied in the courts charge.
Included in this number re six by
the Government, which. If granted,
would instruct the Jury on first and
second degree murder. Prayers or

instructions for a mot guilty" YER
dict; prayers Of John Proctor ask the
same. and then define circumstantial
evidence. while Nicholas Lee Eagles
and Samuel Moreno pray for instruc'
tons on granddaughter.
Decision Due Tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning a small item OF
testimony will be heard and then JUS
tfce Hitz will inform counsel what
prayers he has granted, after which
the arguments Of summation will be-
gin. Justice Hitz told the jurors yes
terday afternoon, as he excused them
when the question OF prayers was
brought up, that it is mot Impossible
that we will finish this case this
week"
Assistant United States Attorney
George d. Horning, Jr., emphasized TO
the court that the position OF the
Government is that granddaughter does
not enter into the case. Il is murder
or nothing He then cited the case
as the defendants themselves view It,
explaining that Proctor said he did
not fire, in which event there Is no
manslaughter. Likewise manslaughter
could not be applied to Moreno, who
testified that he fired, but not at Pc
liceman Leo w. X. Busch, and only
after he had been shot by Policeman
Frank L. Ach, Horning said. Eagles
revised testimony was that he fired,
but not at Busch, so there could be no
manslaughter verdict for that defend
ant, the prosecutor declared.
McCabe's Attorney Heard.
James A. O'Shea, attorney for Nc
Cabe, said his defense was mot
guilty" from beginning to end, and
after emphasizing that point, he
spoke on the, possibility of man
slaughter for the other defendants.
He raised the question of arrest,
whether it was legal and whether a
right to resist arrest existed. If the
arrest was Illegal and attempted in a
trough and wanton' manner, O'Shea
declared, then the killing of the po-
liceman would not be murder. but
manslaughter.
Horning replied that the four de-
PENDANTS did not resist arrest, pointing
out that Ach turned his two men
loose when the first shot was fred
and explaining that Busch never laid
his hands on either of the other two

He could have hardly expected to retain his

ng suit to collect several hundreds of thousands
dollars from former county treasurers, Of whom
present mayor is one.
The people should not have expected that he

That is not the manner the custom of politics

The fight that Mr.. Rucker made against the

little easier for the mayor to replace him with
ian whose mind is more likley to be in tune with

With the dismissal of Rucker and the coming

PROMPT AND CERTAIN

How far the prosecuting attorneys Of the State
will succeed in carrying out the demand of Attorney
General Gilliom for prompt and certain punish
ment for liquor law violators remains to be seen.
The Federal Government has failed to get very
far with its enforcement of the Volstead act. No
one claims that any county in this State has done
much with the Wright law to reduce drunkenness
But in that phrase of prompt and certain" pun
ishment lies the solution for all crime problems
If violators of the liquor any other law be-
eved that punishment would be certain and prompt,
crime would be reduced to a minimum.
The truth is that lawyers have built up a tech
nica barrier for all law volators SO that certainty
Of punishment is not only impossible but extremely
improbable
The police departments of the State have never
been very vigilant in getting all vioators of the
liquor laws. There have been determinations and
protection for classes and for privileged vendors.
And when cases obtained and violators
brought into court, the likelihood of punishment is
extremely remote
If the bootlegger be big enough to hire the right
lawyers, he may expect to reach fine old age be.
fore his case is disposed of.
The Attorney General has only to look at the
docket of the Supreme Court to discover one reason
why his appeal for prompt and certain punishment
is likely to be very theoretical.
He will discover that the law firm of which the
junior Senator, Arthur Robinson, is a member, rep
resented fourteen who had been convicted in
the lower courts for violations of the liquor laws
Prompt and certain enforcement of the liquor
law is an experiment which the people would ap-
paud
But they would like to see it general and not
discriminatory.
They not interested in efforts to jail few
men who get drunk on moonshine and letting those
who can afford to buy the imported whisky from the
big dealers escape
Inasmuch the law in this State makes the pur
chase Of liquor much a crime the selling of it,
a complete compliance with the edict might suggest
the need for many more jails.
