The Moral of an Injustice
Cincinnati Enquirer

Instances of false imprisonment are rare enough to attract widespread attention whenever they are brought to light The most recent of this kind involves Mrs Louise Bolts of Brazll Ind; who was convicted on charge of forgery and. sentenced to serve from 2 to IA years in prison She kept in prison for 13 months until Indiana state officials were convinced of her innocence because the series of forgerieS continued.
 few days ago. the woman actually guilty of the forgerieS for which Mrs Bolts imprisopeu was caught and confessed. She resembled Mrs. Bolts so closely that the innocent woman had been positively Identified" at the time of her trial by victims of the forgeries
 According to dispatches Mrs Bolts holds no ami mus as a result of her unjust imprisonment and has sought no remuneration from the state. However, in such case it would fitting for the state to make some gesture of retribution. Honest mistake, though it undoubtedly the victim of 1t was de- prved of her liberty year and subjected to great modification
 The processes of law are nowhere free of the possibility of mistake. Simply for that reason, Of course iuries and judges cannot lean too far back ward in the face of reasonably conclusive evidence Verdics must be based not upon the absence of all doubt of deendants guilt but upon the absence of reasonable doubt Otherwise the admins tratlon of justice would be hamstrung.
 , The moral to be drawn from the case of Mrs. Botts and many others like it. is not that the pro cesses of law should be so arranged that injusces would be impossible, The administration of JuSuce cannot be made infallibe, much as we would Ike r. It can be arranged however reasonable restitution to be made where possible when an innocent person suffers through the laws fallibity.

ASKSACE EBAREND
FOR CIVIL SERVICE
Babcock Supports Moore's
BilI-Limits Held Merely
Rules.

Elimination of arbitrary age limits In
civil service examinations was urged
by E. Claude Babcock, national prssi-
dent of United States Civil ServN
Employees, and several other witnesses
before the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today.
The committee had up the bill OF
Senator Moore, Democrat. Of New Jer-
sey, under which no person otherwise
duly qualified for examination or ap-
pointment could be held ineligible
solely because Of age.
Among others who testified for the
bill were Maurice J. Cronin, president.
and Charles P. Messick, secretary of
the New Jersey Civil Service Commits
sion. New Jersey has somewhat
similar law. Peter Smith of the Amer.
ican Citizens League also Endorsed the
bill
The committee was told that in the
Federal civil service age limits are mere
ly commission rules, agreed on with
the Government departments, and that
they vary for different types Of exam
nation. The committee was informed
the limit has been Is years in some
cases, and up to So in other examina-
tions.
Babcock emphasized that setting
aside age limits would not necessarily
mean the right Of appointment, but
would give persons above the pre-
scribed age limits the right to COM
pete and show their qualifications for
appointment.
The Moore bill provides that the
civil service retirement law would not
apply to any person admitted to the
classified service under the terms of
the measure. While the law fixes 10
as the retirement age in the depart
mental service, it also requires Is years
OF service as a condition to retirement.
The committee, presided over by
Chairman BuloW, took the question
under advisement.
