Norwich Speaker Denounced Injustice ©of Present Judicial System. “The administrati>n of cur criminal laws a disgrace to civilization.” This quotation from President Taft was the subjoct of an address at the Williman tic bpen foram Sunday afternoom, giv- en by Edward Perkins Clarke of Nor- wich. Mr Clarke congratulated the Willi- mantic soclalists upon the weekly fo- *um incetings for the discussion of Fublic questions an1 sall that the so- cialist party made a feature of this educational work wherever it was suf- ficiently strong, as, for example, In Norwich and Willimantic. He called attention to the glaring injustice of our presemnt judiclal sys. tem when a Mollaeux could buy his aequittal and a Thaw could have pur- Chased immunity from the electric chair, because the best legal talent was at the service of the weaithy, while those without means accused of ©rime, although presumed to be inno- ~ent until proven guilty, are treated as though they are gullty and the whole police and financial power of the state is used to comvict the un- fortunates. The clection of public defenders as well as public prosecutors was fa- vored us prosecuting attorneys fre- quently boust of the convictions they Fave secured and are sometimes very urscrupulous in their methods, as shown by Samuel Untermyer in the Crisanti case in New York city. Pub- lic advocates would be tribunes of the people, they would frequently prevent long delays in bringing cases to trial, they would make equality before the law more of an actual fact and they would protect poor and ignorant de- fendgnts from the threats of a Iaay, unfpm..u. district _attorney, Who mighit advise an innocent defandant to pleag guiliy in order to avoiu the la- Lor of trying a case. With pablic de- fenders, prosccuting attorneys would bo more careful asout swearing out warrants against citizens unless cases were thoroughly investigated. The positions of public advocates would be highly desirable to the better class of atiornevs and eliminate to a great extent the shyster lawyer class. The demand for this reform is frequently made in socialist platforms, municipal, | state and national, the speaker said, and urged its incorporation as an im- mediate demand in every socialist piatform, MANSFIELD CITY FIRE.

The Windham high school basket- ball team opened its season Saturday afternoon in Armory hail on Valley street by taking the measure of the five representing the Manual Training school of New London. Although ‘Windaam did not have her strongest lineup on the floor she did not exper- fence any difficully In winning by the score of 23-16 . The passing and team work of both teams was rather crude Lbut Windbam got away with quite a little outside work that was effective toward the final result. It was a remarkably clean game, there being but 2 fouls calied on each team and the game was an interesting one, but the attendance was not as large as should be accorded a winning Team.
