1t has taken eight long years,
serves were signed by Mr.. Fall, then
secretary of the interior, to get
from jury the declaration that
the granting of these leases was
tainted with the crime of bribery.
In the minds of the average citi-
Zens, the taint of fraud in those
transactions has never been doubt ,
ed, since the main facts concerning
them became matter of public
knowledge. The properties thus
leased have long ago been recover
ed by the government, on evidence
that led even the supreme court of
the United States to denounce the
whole transaction in the most
through and through with fraud.
The fact that the jury was al
most "a hours in reaching its ver-
dict, and that the verdict was ac-
companied by an appeal to the
court to show mercy, wGs apparently
due to a feeling Of pity for an old
man, broken in health-an attitude
of mind in the jury which the de-
fense had skillfully worked to
create, all through the trial. n
many cases of the kind, at least
one or two jurors are found who
will not agree to a verdict of guilt
unless the recommendation for
mercy accompanies it.
1t may be taken for granted that
there will be an appeal, with all the
delays which the law and the kind
ness of the court will permit, and
the chances are perhaps small that
the defendant will live to see the
end of the legal struggle. Never
theless, the fact that jury has at
last placed the stamp of crime upon
one of the worst cases of malfeas-
ance in the history of the executive
branch of our government will have
very salutary influence for the
future. 1t should have been impos
sble for man capable of such ac-
tion to reach a cabinet position. We
believe that it will be impossible,
from now on.-Columbus Dispatch.
