An Unusual Judge. - (Oregon Journal.) Two men named Walsworth, father tihd son, were recently convicted in Jackson county of manslaughter, but tho two juries unanimously recom mended that the court exercise leni ency nnd show mercy in tho degree of their punishment. It nppenrs from the evidence that there was much room for doubt as to whether tho Walsworths did not kill an attacking neighbor in defense of their home. lit least this recommendation of both juries was one entitled to respectful consideration by tho court. The pen nlty for manslaughter is imprison ment for a period of from one to fifteen yenrs, but Judgo Ilanna sen tenced both defendants the maximum penalty of fifteen yenrs. They had already served eighteen months' im prisonment in tho penitentiary on a tormcr conviction, which wns re versed by tho supremo court cir cumstances that tho juries probably regarded as one reason why justice would best bo served by a light sen tence. In some stntes ft inrv -fivne the sentence; it cannot do so in this state, but a judgo usually gives con sideration to n jury's recommenda tion. Judgo Ilanna is tho same circuit judgo who held tho editor of the Medford Tribuno guilty of criminnl libel because ho ventured to express criticism of a certain grand jury, a iiocision wnion tlie supremo court re versed, holding tho editor guiltless nnd entirely within his rights.
