(EDITORIAL) N THE name of common decency, haven’t we any justice in Seattle? Are we going to let our citizens be killed at will and mete out no punishment to those who are re- sponsible? Let the driver of an auto run into a pedestrian, and the public and police are on his trail, hungry to put him in the penitentiary. That is as it should be! But let two officers of the police department, by their negligence, permit an unfortunate man to lie for three days in jail and to die there without med- ical attention, and hat happens? Chief Severyns suspends them—one for five days, and the other for ten. On the same day a policeman who failed to appeat in court as a witness draws a penalty three times as heavy—a 30-day suspension. Ignoring a recommendation of the coroner's jury that the policemen responsible be held criminally ac- countable, Prosecutor Colvin refuses to take action against them. Cases of men who are thrown into the city jail without medical attention, and who later are found dead in their cells, are altogether too frequent. Chief Severyns admits that his jailers are “too hardened and indifferent.” Seattle demands justice! Justice i in the case of care- less motorists who kill pedestrians! And justice in the case of careless policemen who allow unfortu- nate prisoners to die on their hands! This paper doesn’t believe justice is being done!
