Thevost of murder trials is surpris- ing the country. The prosecution of the case of the McNamaras, which hardly got into court, cost over a quarter of a million; the cost to Los Angeles county having been $142,000, and the cost to organized labor $170,000 a total of $312,000, It is becoming too expemsive In this untry to bring villains to justice— ) protect the orderly, thrifty, law- respecting citizen from the rogues who rey upon their property and kill the nnocent To this extravagance with the fre- ;uent miscarriage of justice may be fairly attributed the growing disre- spect of law and the persistence of nehing As the expenses are stated behold he distribution of the money—&$12,000 to Burns for his expert work and mar- elous success in bringing one of the ilest, cruellest and most criminal conspiracies against the well-being of the state to an end; and 330,000 to Darrow for his efforts to foil the en- deavor of the state to convict the cul- prits. This does mot appear to be rewarding men according to their merits as rationally viewed. It I8 time the people d>manded more reasonableness on the part of those who conduct the cases in courts, so hat ainy will not be kept at a premium while justice looks like a nendicant at the courthouse door.
