CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch, March
%, 1929

A man is found guilty of killing
a woman and is sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary, A Negro
woman is given thirty years for
forgeries amounting in the aggregate
to some S7O.- A man is found guilty
of selling whiskey and is given year
or two years or more after having
been heavily fined. A millionaire is
found guilty of corrupting public
officials and fraudulently obtaining
public property valued at hundreds
of millions. A sentence for con-
tempt Of court-not yet served--is
the best the courts can do in this
case after years of litigation. A
Negro steals ham and is put away
for five years or ten.
What is the anatter-AY.ith US?
Would visitor from another planet
have the slightest hesitancy in pro-
nouncing us a nation of madmen?
Have the rudest barbarians Of dark
est Africa any more insane system
of dispensing justice?
There is some consolation to be
found in the reaction of the public
to the amazing conclusion of the
Faison trial. On the streets, in clubs,
in stores and offices and factories,
men. and women were agreeing that
it was absurd and ridiculous" Of
course this does not explain how a
jury made up of these same men and
women could have reached such a
remarkable decision. No explanation
suggests itself. 1t was not case of
"extenuating circumstances" Faison
did not claim The killing was justtf-
able; h: stoutly maintained his inRo-
cence.
Either Elsie Snipes was murdered
or she committed suicide. The jury's
duty was to aecIae which of these
things happened, and to punish the
murderer properly if the evidence
convinced them beyond reasonable
doubt of his guilt. If Faison was
innocent-if he was not plainly
guilty-it was terrible injustice to
brand him with this crime, quite
aside from the injustice of depriving
him of his liberty for, one day or
hour. If he was guilty-and the jury
reported that he was guilty-sen-
fencing him to serve until October
18th for his crime is the most as
founding action ever taken by a
Richmond jury.
