Harshbarger,

concurring:

My Brother Neely’s dissent demands answer.
His gratuitous comment that (somehow or other) our opinion made the government’s agents criminals, is ridiculous. And, having arrived at that ridiculous proposition, it next pleases him to say, probably sarcastically, that we will, perhaps, someday, be able to put all police in prison.
I know of no crime the policeman and the informer are being charged with; and I also know that shrill nonjudicial mischaracterizations do not make acts of solicitation by the police, of criminal acts, not entrapment.
