Once more Governor Manning has granted a reprieve to Mackey Pal raer, who was convicted of the murder ot' Sergeant Franklin, and for which he was sentenced to death. We suppose the reason, like that given for the first delay, is that an appeal may be heard. We regard the delay and the noncomitant uncertainty as to the punishment of this criminal very unfortunate, a^d we are afraid that it will not strengthen the hand3 of those in this community who have continually preached law and order and have tried to nullify the undeniable sentiment for lynch la. rMc'n | is an evil influence in most cumi munities. The appeal is upon some technicality, we believe. There can be no I doubt whatever in the minds of im; partial men that Palmer knew who j he was shooting w^en Sergeant ! Franklin came through the window J to re-arrest him. The fact that be | was a fugitive was enough to make j him expect an officer, and the fact ! that he ran away so promptly after , | wards shows that he fully realized [ j what he had done. .As a matter ot >j fact, Palmer had escaped from the ? jail, heavily armed, and had made up i his mind, evidently, to resist arrest, and when the moment came, carried out his purpose. [ r We are not protesting against giving Palmer every benefit of the law's ij benefits, but we do declare most emphatically against employing legal technicalities to save the slayer of a f police officer. These men have dan' gerous characters to handle at all times, and if it is to be established ' that technicalities may gave them, it will mean perhaps the lives of other officers.
