AP Rll 4 1909 AFFAIRS A1 SOUTH OMAHA: William Ray Attempts to Commit Suicide While Despondent SLASHES THROAT WITH RAZOR Cont Smallpox Whick Had Been Worn by a Patient Causes @ Stampede In Justice Court. William Ray Thirty a cooper, living at fitth and 1 strests, attempted suiclde Friday about 3 p. his throat with a razor slashes at his throat, but dfd not nerve to cut deep cnough for a fatal wound. The cuts on his throat were ugly as It was, and (he man bled profusely until he fainted It s thought faint- ing was due to shock more than the bleed- iIng. He was taken to the South Omaha hospital, where his wound was said to be serious, but not fatal. The man I8 & years old and has a ‘wite, a son and two daughters grown and living in Lincoln. He sald his wife had been a good woman at all times and that it was his own habit of drink which led him to his act. He sald he and his family got along well except when he was In liquor. The blade of the razor narrowly missed severing the man's trachea, laying bare the larnyx. He made the first aitempt In the bedroom and it was nearly successful. After this he walked to the pantry, where he fell in a faint. The bleeding partly ceased before he came to himself and he made the second cut in his throat. Then he went to bed with the razor tghily in his hand. His wife discovered attempts and called the police. Chief | Briggs responded and found the man In | bea with the razor in his hand. He said I don't want your help. 1 don't wan | anything. 1 want to dle, and the sooner the better. I got discouraged because | couldn't do the right thing for my wife, and in the sight of my children. 1 am old and my chances of doing better are few I don't want to go to the hospital. Why do you want to mix in this business? lIs It your affair?” The man has been an employe at the Omaha Cooperago company for & number of years. He is said to be an exceedingly good workman. The police think the sul- cidal attempt was the last chapter of a period of heavy drinking. The man's wife said her always good and Kind to her and that he provided at all ficlent for thelr needs.

Be- cause he was a forelgner and belleved to | be of a vindictive race, foeling against him ran high. He was convicted on the flim- | slest evidence. One of the facts proved that Pagano had cut a plece of cloth out of his vest. Pagano, in his defense, in- nocently pointed to his pantaloons, to which garment he had removed an un- necessary bit of walstcoat to make a neces- sary bit of pantaloons. The plece of cloth was supposed to have contained blood, though it was never proved. Pagano's law- | yer was a day or two late in filing his statement on motion for a new trlal. He explained to the court that Pagano was so poor that he had been unable to ralse the money to prosecute his appeal sooner. The supreme court sald they were sorry, but Pagano would have to hang—this was a case where he could not afford to be i Meanwhile lic sentiment had changed. It was discovered that another, not Pagano, was most likely the gullty person, The legislature was In session, and a spe- clal law, clumsily drawn, was hastily passed to tmy to fit Pagano's case. The supreme court being after ail human, hav- ing taken note of these things, the law- yers got together and agreed to waive all technicalities, and the case was submitted | to the supreme court—irregularly, but sub- | mitted, nevertheless. That court (Tth | Washington State Reports, p. 849) wrote an opinion in favor of Pagano's innocence on the evidence which it would do any one good to read, It is o in contrast with fhe one written the year before, when, with the me record before them, they decided to let Pagano hang. Of course the statutory time within which an appeal may be perfected is held by the courts to be jurisdictional; that is to say, that if the time 1s allowed to go by, the court loses all power to pass upon the case. But here is an instance where, under the spur of public sentiment, the court awoke to a realization of the fact that human life and lberty, and not red tape, were; after all, at the bottom of civilization. This same red tape which so often defeats justice in criminal cases operates in hun- dreds of civil cases to the abuse of justice. I have In mind a citizen of one of our west- ern states who had a case involving $100,- 000,000 worth of property. He lost it in the lower court through a judicial ruling which, |in another case, was afterward reversed by the supreme court; but he lost his appeal and his property because his lawyers falled to comply with the rules of the supreme court in the preparation of their bill of ex- ceptions; that is to say, they dld not set out the points of the case in the particular manner required by the rules of court last promulgated. This case is found in the published reports. That court had licensed those lawyers; thelr fault was not the fault of the client, who had done his share when he employed three lawyers coming to him with credentfals from the very court (o which his appeal was directed. Those law- yers are still practicing law; they were not even fined or reprimanded; but the in- nocent, plundered client is working for day wages, all he had swept away by a rule of court which favored the mental indolence of the judges, but which touched ho point of his controversy.
