HOLD THE VERDICT

DEPORT of the slaughter of several
~ thousand defenseless Chinese men,
women and children by japanese troops
Is enough to cause shudder through
the most callous, though it is not only
wise but fair to withhold judgment up
on Japan until the accusation has been
proven true.
Stories like this one can arise from
some trivial incident and be magnified
until they become something entirely diff
ferent from the reality.
We do not say that it could not be
done, but we doubt very much that
Japan, anxious to keep on good terms
with the rest of the world would let
herself be placed in position to have
such a charge proved true.
Most of us can look back few years
to the time of the World war. when
stories of atrocities were the common
talk of the day and the great majority
of us hurried to believe them, the hys-
terra of the times acting as pressure
which made us forget our common sense.
Propaganda was found in those days
to be most effective weapon, almost
as essential in carrying on war as are
men and arms.
China and Japan in the course of the
numerous conflicts which have engaged
them in the past year or more and peo-
pie of other nations will do we'll to ac-
cept the great majority of charges and
counter charges with the proverbial
grain of salt.

an OVERWORKED JUDGE

IN finding an accused couple guilty of
4 murder this week, Judge Isaac Pacht,
of the Los Angeles superior court, de-
clared he never again would decide a
case alone where the death penalty
might be inflicted.
The defendants in the case waived the
right to trial by jury, throwing upon the
jurist the burden of hearing their case.
From all accounts the Judge accepted
and performed his duty in most con-
scientious manner but at tremendous
cost to himself. Wishing to prevent any
semblance Of injustice to the accused, he
listened carefully to every bit of evi-
dence during the court sessions, and at
night went over the court reporters
transcript, to familiariZe himself with
all the information he could so that his
verdict might be a just one.
Newspaper articles commented upon
the changed appearance of the iurist
when he appeared in court to announce
his verdict. He was pale and haggard
from sleepless nights, and showed the
weight of his responsibility.
All the evidence in the case was cir
cumstantial, increasing the judges bur-
den. He found the accused couple guilty
and imposed life sentences. 1t was then
he declared that the responsibility was
TOO much Tor one man to assume and
asserted that at least three judges
should sit en- banc when right of trial
by jury is waived
Judge Pacht is certainly right in his
assertion. Any judge who takes his
high office as seriously as a Judge
should, and particularly where hu-
man life may be decided by his decis-
ion, is bound to be carrying an excess
sive burden.
Fate has been unduly heavy upon
Judge Pacht The day following his
statement another man facing him on a
murder charge, changed his not guilty
plea to guilty and imposed upon the judge
the necessity OF passing sentence upon
him. Here again the death penalty is
involved and the decision is again up to
Judge Pacht. The law should provide
that no man should be placed in the pos
itlon of having to assume such burden.
The notorious MA has obtained a
divorce at last. But she had several
wedding ceremonies so we may expect
