Wosce it stated in Ty CHICAGO TRIBUNE thut one of the witnesses befare the United States Grand Jury swore positively that ho was only about ten feet nway from Dr. Jones at the thne he was shot, and that he saw those who npeauited him sad recognized tho men who llred the fatnl shot, If this witness tells the truth, tho gullty parties are known, The Grand Jury of Carroll Pirish can obtain the sume testimony that was given heforo the Fed- eral Grand Jury. It scems to us that if any Kreat manxlety existed In Carroll Purish to bring the wurderess to justice the ‘mmn authorities, loux betoro this, would have been in possession of tho festimony brotght out before the Federal Grand Jury, The fact that no particular effort hias been mnde 1o secury: this testimony 18 an in- dleation that the condition of ‘mmh.- opinton in Curroll Parish is far from healthy. ~We may be mistaken, but we feel sntistied that if the Letter cluss of people of tho parish wero as earnest In securing the punishment of murderers as they Aro in hunting down horse-thinves the mea who kllied Dr. Joues would now be bebind prison bars, We do not meadt to say that ali good citi- zens of Carroll Parlsh do not deprecite und cone © deinn tho erime of murder, whoever the victim muy bo, but what we do say is that not ouly in Carroll Purigh, but in manyother parishes of the Stute, thero s un fudifference ulout eriines of violenee that practicully para- Jyzea the Iaw.

We need not expeet thut these laws will be enforeed un- lesse public opinjon insisis upon their onforce- ment, Immigrunts will not settle fu o com- munity where crimes of violenco nro not puns ished vrunuuli- and effectunily, The story of thu kifling of Dr, Jones and tho immunity from vunisiinent which his murderers enjoy, pulse lisbed and commonted on by the Northorn pross, ] w0 lung way toward nullifying our oiforts i Diehatf of inmigration, We ‘might s well understand this at once, thit If wo wish 1o {nereuso our prosperity by Immtiration we will be compelled to crerto o public opinton that will scompel the punishment of crimes of violence of all degrees. * Deprecating ' the murder and letting tho murderer eseape” {8 not g selticlent condemnntion of the fufamous ceime. ——————— ROBBED.
