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.
