One by one. our recent crop of m ur.
derers and alledged m urders is being
accounted for. W ith a clockw ork
reg u larity th a t is little short of
am azing in these days w hen jurors
too often are subjected to the in flu ­
ences of sentim entalism and barrag-
ed w ith insanity defenses, th e o rth o ­
dox group of 12 freeholders has been
finding guilty the* men along the
coast accused of gruesome homicides.
A Wasco county Jury, in the face of
an insanity defense, convicted Abe
Evans. W illiam H ightow er, accused
of abducting and m urdering a priest
In C alfornia, was convicted. Itev
W illiam Spencer, a m inister, was con­
victed In C alifornia of th e charge of
m urdering his wife. Maloney, in Seat­
tle, was convicted of m urdering his
aged bride, and faces the death sen­
tence. Can it be th a t the citizenry
from w hich Jurors are chosen is tired
of Insanity defenses and sentim ental
appeals? Can it be th n t the people are
aw akening to the sinister danger that
lies in the increasing num ber of
blood crim es th a t are being com mit­
ted? T h at seemB to be the case. The
conviction is grow ing th a t ruthless
crim es should be ruthlessly punished.
