THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1897 " prevention of a repetition of the offense. The { Logislatures of the various States and of the | United States have determined what these | deterrent punishmenis shall be, and no court is justified in affixing & punishment for any purpose except the protection of society. No | doubt the court is within the provision of the | 1aw relating to the maximum and mirimum | punishment, and there was no necessity for | assigning any reason for its decision. On the theory expressed by the court the term of imprisonment should, in my oplnion, bave been lengthened insiead of shortened, as an Indfan, to whom the takivg of buman ife is & | casual trifle, is dangerous to be ut large. ‘ » x-Judge Fox of the Sapreme Court— SEES TIlEM TR 1 ek realty o legt] 8N on If the Court | | decided the point in his judicial discretion | and not in violation of the statutes. If there has been any attempt to hold that an Indian or any other race shall be adjudged on a dif- ferent basis than & white man or any other citizen the court has surely gone beyond the law. Circumstanc:s always alter cutes, and when a question is left to the discretion of the court there is always a wide range. 1 sm bardly able to see why an Indian would suffer more in jail than a white man. At.orney R M. F. Sato—l never heard of sny such precedent, and I do not think there ought to be auy difference between an Indian and any otner cluss of cliizens fn mur- der cases or other crimes. It is one couniry &nd there isone law for all classes whether white, black, Chinese or Indians.

WY HE GAVE A LIGHT SEXTENCE. Ex-Supreme Justice Van. K. Pater- son—The premises b tiris case seem to be talse. I do not know what Judge rendered the decision you have shown me, but I tuink his ressoning is odd. The Indian is not & man of delicate nervous organization, for which reason he does not suffer as a civilized man does. He is more like an animai. He feels the punishment for # time, but when the physical system gets accustomed 10 new conditions he is all right. He does not feel the panes of disgrace and remorse, but he soon learns to_love thefood and the ease of his position. There is no distincticn between races in the law, and I do not think it would be safe asa precedent to say that Indians who commit manslaughter or murder snould be punished more lightly or severely than othe: Coionel W.

The two- 1 e . 5 fold purpose of punishment is to Femove the t take into con crimingl temporarily or p'rmauently from »n. the fact that the dece: society and to warn other members of society was the aggressor, and 1 dox of the consequences of evil-doing.

The who e advau. el e o gh standard th age iu punishing an Indian, therefore, is that ould be applied to one of on hich comes the people a. lar-e, for the own race. Indian is not reformed. Under tais view it et g occurs to me that the longer the term of im- uch was the remarkable and unusual ?rmm‘men the better.

Speakinz of the decision just after he had left the baznch Judge de Haven said to a CaLL reporter: “Qf course there is no law on this matter, but if I could have done so I shoald ve been glad to instruct the jury on the point and would have told them that ey might consider the that the defendan: was an Indian. I think that a If-breed Indian, who has associatea with Indians all his life, is not to be judged v the same standarc a civilized man. Although the law makes no distinction of this kind. and although there is probably n» precedent for my position, I felt it my duty to consider the nationality of the defendart. I think it a matter proper to be viewed by the court, as'it is within judicial discretion. The pardoning power in every State and nation has the right to consider such things, and I felt that in a matter oi judicial discretion 1 had the same right to view ail the facts of race and environment.” the Round Valley Reservation, for the | ixa great deglof humanity and jadicial w ansfangbie Ga _ | domin the decision.

Several prominent attorneys were asked for theiwr ojinion as to the souncness of the Juige’s declaration. None o: them knew the name of the Judge who had ren- dered it. Had they known thatthe at thor was the Juige of o court sitvated ir this State, they would no doubt have de- cii by reasons of profess oual ethics. 10 offer any criticism of it.

The noble rea men is & wanderer, & roamer, and it is-aimost ceath to confine him in & prison. Of course there is no law speciiying tiis, but I think it was a Wise and proper decision.

Mayor Phelan’s veto of a bill for work on Pond street public property was sus- tained, his point being that the board had no right to let such contracts except by bids in open competition and that the law in this respect had not been complied with. Supervisor D:vany stated that to sus- tain the veto would work a bardship on the contractors as they had already done considerable work on the contract, but when the matter went to a vote there were no dissenting voices. The Knickerbocker Athletic Club was granted a permit 1o hold a boxing con- test in November on a date yet to be de- cided. J.J.
