might be called judicial bologna.
Upon the return verdict of acquitta of Fishbec
Judge Felt air of injured innocence, and gave
the jury judicial harangue in spite of the fact that he
knew that the jury could have brought other verdict
than did, because of the Blackwell presented
the case: presented with the idea of getting ac

this The against Fshbeck is stronger and
damning than the against Collins, and Paublc
has mot even been charged think that both these
should proceeded against for contributing to the dein
quency of minors and suggest that the county attorney

three thousand dollars of expense was mad
for the taxpayers; does matter that Dolores Picket
coerCed into lying the witness stand Just wha

But another election and voters, disIusioned
