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

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.
