"Murderous Law."
Richmond News-Leader. i
Suppose some man in Virginia with
a mnrderonr heart had a grudge
against Judge Bnrksdale, who prcsid- 1
ed at the Loving trial? As we understand
the law ait. present in Virginia,
the man could walk into the court
room at Houston, empty two loads of
buckshot into Judge Barksdale's body
and when arrested could have one of
\ m his woman relatives to swear that she
- \ told him that she had been grossly injsulted
or wronged by the judge. It
would make no difference that Judge
Barksdale's whole life and character
contradicted the possibility of his
committing such an offense. His j
friends might have evidence at hand I
to show that he was a thousand miles j
away when the alleged wrong was i
/l A?1/> 'PK/itf J- i 11
uuuvi mo; wuuiu nor. oe allowed to |
offer the evidence. Tlic case would
go to the jury as that of an injured
y.)i relative protecting tho honor and
avenging the wrongs of a woman of
v.ft his family. There would be no possibility
of vindication for the dead man.
| ITe would lie in his grave with the
records standin against his name convicting
him of an act which his own
character and the conditions aliko
We have no word of censure for
Judge ISarksdale. Criticism ??I* a man
"I liis posit ion. standing ami attain-1
incuts by a layman would lx? unbecoming
in almost any case. We have
no doubt that he acted conscientiously
Hid with (dear understanding and
dial what he declared to he the law
lS <the law. We do not know that the
jury is to he blamed. It must, be re'ollected
that a jury must act on the
videnee presented in court and so
far as this jury knew, here was ft
'ather whose daughter'had been indue d
to drink, drugged to insensibility
ind mistreated. Of course under the
aw as written' even these circumstan es
did not justify the deliberate Idling
of the man supposed to have been
inilty. In Virginia, however, we alvavs
have regarded what is known as
ilie "unwritten fyiw" applying to
aich cases. F.ven with that we should
hink the jury would have hesitated
ong before acquit t ing a man who

The practical, concrete fact of the

inirder is almost nullified and the

The practical thing t<> do is to
orreet tlu> law at tin? earliest possible
moment. The newspapers and
lie leaders of thought and act-ion in
lie jjlate should direot public at tenion
to the subject- and arouse setitinent
so that the very day the legisature
meets measures will be introluced
which will make recurrence of
'onditioiis like those of the Loving |
ase impossible. This will not only
>rovide .safeguards for t-lie future,

lie feediny; and opinion of t'lie people
ui the result of this trial.
Some time ago we urged that the.
'unwritten law" should be written
>ii the statutes with the conditions
ivhirh shall justify an appeal to it
dearly set forth. Many conservaive
and Uiouirht fuj people in the
;late regard this as a radical and dangerous
proposition. However that
nay bij. certainly we should have
iome provision which will make the
aking' of a human life in any cir umstanccs
rait ho r more of a serious
natter than the shooting of a vagrant
log. Our statutes should require
hat a man who undertakes the responsibility
of taking human life shall,
it least, be abundantly sure of his
provocation and know beyond doubt
hat wrong has been done him or his
