It is not for the Leader to say the proceedings were illegal or irregular, but they certainly were somewhat un usual and by no means satis factory to the maiority of our desired that the open court, and It surely would have cost no more possibly not as much. When court conven ed the State was ready to proceed with the case, but no little delay and consequent expense resulted from the absence of witnesses for the defense. Another point: If the evidence was all on the side of the defense, then the defense had nothing to fear from a trial ; in fact "a vindication of this nature would have brought more glory to the already more or less illustrious attorneys for the v de fense, and at the same time been of more value to the defendants. It the defense had a sure thing, one can hardly understand why an attorney for the defense did not turn down the opportunity to do regulation trial stunts be hind the barred doors of the grand jury room and thus give the admiring populace a chance to see how he did it. What a lot of sweetness has been wasted on the desert air! The above is from the Lincoln County Leader. The tone is not reassuring and the article seems to contain a fling at the attorneys for the defense, two of wftm are residents of this city, " W. S. Mc Fadden and T. F. Yates. If our surmise be true that the Leader desired to smite them and yet lacked the courage to call their names, we will state in beiialt ci these gentlemen that while we do not claim sainthood for them we consider them honorable in in . their attempts to free their clients.. Surely it could not be a personal matter to the Leader that the Greens be convicted? Beat Her Double.
