The severe verdict can only be acoepted as one of justice. The federal and state law provides for it The Greenlease case calls for the death penalty for this man and woman who, in an effort to secure big ransom money, stooped to a crime unspeakably savage and brutal. The verdict was correct. In its bearing on future criminal ity there should have been justice, Here in the city the enormous box-car trucks that have taken over Broad street should made to com ply with the law, and at the same time should be fined for speeding when guilty. There is no excuse for their excessive noise and annoy ing smoke. The^city has an ordinance against i muffler cut-outs or similar devices.
