Muma’s Predicament
The lqw sometimes is a vondrqsg and dreadful
thing.
“ J a p ” Muma, newspaper man, involved
with Tex Rickard and others in the illegal trans
portation o ( moving pictures pf the Dgappsey-Car-
pentier. fight, faces jail for life because fo his inabil
ity to pay a federal epurt fine. Muma and his co-
defendants were found guilty and each assessed a
fin e ., Appeal Was taken to a higher court but the
newspaper man lost his case and he was thrown
back on the mercy of the trial court.
The interesting part of the case js in the fact
that the judge in im posing the fines gave no alter
nate jail sentenoe and did not order confinement of
the defendants ‘•‘u n til” the fines are settled; there
fore, when Muma appealed, the higher tribunal did
not pass on these points but threw his case out on,
the ground that he did not fnake application for a
writ of mandamus to compel the granting of a w rit
of habeas oorpus within the required three months.
On these tecljhicalities it now seems that Muma
may have to spend the rest of his life in jail. The
writ of habeas corpus was his lgst hope -and 'it
has been denied him because he did not apply w ithiq
the statutory time.
Muma is a poor man, working for a small salary
which will stop when he enters the federal prison.
He has not been accustomed to hard labor and
probably could not earn much while behind the bars.
He has no money and could apt hope to earn much
while in jail. So, how can he ever hope to pay tha
fine, whiph is $7,000!

Clarence Darrow, nuted Chicago criminal law-,
yer thinks it is our civic d,uty to violate the pro
hibition law. The way to get rid of a bad law, Mr.
Darrow contends, is for everyone to violate it.
But we doubt the logic of the gentleman’s
argument. W ouldn’t it be better to turn to the
other extreme and enforce the law to the letter!
Arrest every violator, impose the maximum sentence.
Then if the people did nut want the law, they could
move to have it repealed.
O pen violation of the law would bring no good
to the country. y It would make of us a uatiou of
gaarebjsts. .
