OMETIMES we wonder about that thing called the majesty of the law. We wonder, in fact, if there is such a thing, because without univer- sal application there can be no majesty. Two fiends in human form committed an out- rageous crime in Chi- cago last May. They kidnaped a school boy and choked him to death and admitted they did it because they wanted to experience the thrill of taking hu- man life; to study the prostrate form in its last struggle. Before Chief Justice Caverly appeared Clar- ence Darrow, renowned criminal lawyer and, with million-dollar elo- quence, preached a ger- | | } mon on tolerance and the sins of the ages. There was much of value in the lesson Dar- row drew, much that all of us can well pon- | Judge Caverly der over. But suppose these fiends had been just ordinary fiends, without ability to reach the judge’s ear with Darrow’s high-priced plea for their lives. Suppose the judge should have heard just an ordinary argu- ment, tho backéd by the same admission of guilt. Would the judge today have permitted these fiends to enjoy the luxuries their wealth will buy them even in a penitentiary or would he have ordered the hang- man’s rope? His duty in either case is to follow the law and the evidence. | But million-dollar oratory has a tive way of helping some judges It is often a great aid in dealing justice. Perhaps that is why we wonder of the law. strange and effec- interpret the law. out what is called about the majesty | Ezra Meeker Will Fly to Oregon With Star’s | Greetings to Airmen BL G, LUCILLE BUTLER A far call from ox-team to Cou years ago a plodding airplane, but Meeker has seen ox-team, drawing a shabby much in his eventful life, and covered wagon, wound its weary has given to history much au- tho outside county votes comes in.| way thru the sagebrush and thentic and colorful data of the Otto Dirkes, for state auditor, lost} sand, headed westward—with the fast-fading life of the pioneer. his own county—Spokane—by 2,600.| wife, babe and all the worldly Meeker has seen the coming of Robinson, democratic gubernatorial! effects—and hopes—-of young the first friction match, the first candidate, also lost his home county,| Ezra Meeker—famed thruout the locomotive in the United States, to Ben Hill of Walla Walla.

Rifle squads were ordered to act as a convoy Justice Caverly left the court so hurriedly that delay was occasioned decause his signature was necessary to the commitment papers. The jus- tice was found and the signatures secured. DIES AFTER SHE WAS RESCUED Woman, Saved From Sound, Succumbs in Hospital The heroic rescue of Mrs. Anna J.

ATTLE, Murderers Given Sentence of Life in Penitentiary MINAL COURTROOM, Chicago, Sept. 10.— The Leopold-Loeb murder drama was conclud- ed with startling suddenness today when, within the space of 15 minutes, Justice John R. Caverly sen- tenced the millionaire youths to life imprisonment for murdering Bobby Franks, and to 99 years each for kidnaping their little victim. | The state has no appeal from the court's decision.

Allan Loeb said: “It was a just sentence. was nothing else for the to do.” Jacob Loeb, uncle of Richard, said: “There is nothing to say. We are thankful.” Before leaving the court building Allan called his parents at Charle~ voix, Mich. and imparted the joy- ful news. Clarence Darrow, the veteran criminal lawyer, who fought against hanging the boys, refused to be congratulated. Smiling only faintly when friends about him to shake his Darrow bowed his head, say= There court No, no—it isn’t a victory. Please don't congratulate me. There will be no appeal, nor will any attempt be’ made to change the sentence.” State's Attorney Crowe, who prose= cuted the case, refused to comment, further than to say: “The boys have won their bet.” Jacob Franks, father of the vic- time, was not in court.
