NOT TYPICAL
The pity about such an incident as the paroling from
the bench of the Coe brothers, confessed arsonists, in Port
land, is that it shakes confidence in the courts generally.
Nevertheless, courts generally are deserving of confidence.
There is, fortunately, only an occasional Hewitt.
The Coes plotted between them to bum their restau
rant, in the heart of the Portland retail district, in order
to collect the insurance. They carried out the plot, des
troying the building in which their place was located
with heavy losses to other tenants and grave hazard to ad
joining buildings. They confessed, and notwithstanding
Piei? confession, the first jury before which they were
tried disagreed. A second jury convicted them. Then
Judge Hewitt paroled them. From beginning to end it is
a sinister case.
In the hands of most courts the parole law is a sounc
law. Through its proper administration many a first of

might, by being sent to the penitentiary and by his asso
