EDITORIAL HE opportunity now presents itself for King county officials to show the underworld that criminals annot make a joke out of the law here. Whether they take advantage of that opportunity is up to them. T. H. Johnson, wanted for the Nanaimo, B. C. robbery, and jailbreaker from King county, is caught red-handed trying to hold up a bank in Fremont. For months Johnson lay in jail here fighting extra- dition for the Canadian offense. The long del ay enabled this crook and five jailmates to plot and successfully carry thru the jailbreak, If the law takes its ordinary course, Johnson will be in jail again for months before he is tried for the Fremont crime. He is already trying to make mon keys out of the officers by putting up an “alibi” that is ridiculous on the face of it. He defies the law brazenly. If it had occurred in Canada it would pot be a week before the bank robber was in the penitentia ary. Then why not here? Johnson is caught and in jail, s all the evidence he needs.
