Against Criminals Testifying in '1 heir IMialf. f Ex-Solicitor II. IT. Newton makes some timely observations and what lie says is out of a full experience as a lawyer and solicitor. Hero is what he says : To the Editor of The News and Courier: The quotation made from Genesis in your editorial of the Kith instant, was much to the point in the view you were presenting. It gavo occasion, however, for general I Wtf i /Mt f\?l t lin t\rv1 i A?r r\ C ?lln..? 1V1I? V KIKJkl wil I IIU ui auuw ing criminals to testify in their own In half This, as administered, is an evil. If the juries were in toll i gent enough to understand the rule of law that regards inter ests as affecting credibility it would do no harm, and perhaps occasionally result in advancing justice Hut, alas! alas! for our jury system, the great bill wark of human liberty ! We can't do without it and yet it is so defective. It is so easy to see the danger of giving credence tv> the testimony of a man on trial for his life, and yet the HR, . u, juries u<> not see it. Cain was an undoubted murderer The same felonious in tent that animated his bosom prom] s all men who are base enough to take the lives of their fellow men Revenge, jealousy, reckh >s disregard of human life, are elements some of which are bound to be present in every wilful murder. The same uesire to escape the penalty provided for such crimes is uppermost in the mind and heart of the murderer The same willingness to lie in order to escape it also belongs to the human nature of this class. In the quotation you made Cain lied to God Ilimsolf in order i<? deceive ITim Since then every wilful mu'derer, I dare say, has been ready to d<> the same tiling. If a murderer will lie to God how much more will he lie to man to save him self! It - ms that our beloved state has, through a strange contra diction to advancing civilization, taken h"r place in "Murderer's Row." Wo shall never reach our destiny in things great and good as a people till we put the seal of condemnation on shedding of blood by bringing to swift punishment every violator of the law, regardless of his social position.
