“Sicking” Huey Long on the admini­
stration may be fine republican sport, but
what if Huey, successful in chewing up the
administration, whirls about to see if he
can’t claw the republicans awhile?

According to C. Lloyd Fisher, of the
Hauptmann defense staff, about $7,500 has
been pledged to the defense fund—which
means that the gullible public has pledged
$7,500 to perpetuate baby snatching and
other varieties of kidnaping, besides feeing
lawyers to thwart justice and secure the
release of criminals weak on alibis but
strong on nerve.

The old Oregon hasn’t done with
battles yet. One is now raging as to
whether the aged man-of-war is a lemon

It was no surprise to learn of the
stay of execution for Bruno (Baby-killer)
Hauptmann, but it did accentuate keen I

Vernonia Eagle, Feb. 27, 1925.
Approximately 100 retail lum­
ber dealers from the north At­
lantic states were guests of the
Oregon-American Lumber Co. at
the big mill today. They came on
a special train which was switch­
ed into the O.-A. yards.
« « a

indicates the beginning of another traves­
ty to linger in the courts for not only
weeks, but for months and perhaps a year
and possibly two, while lawyers, seeking
every technical detail to save a convicted
and undoubtedly guilty client from death.
The granting of a stay is regarded as
little more than an insult to American
intelligence and at the same time encour­
agement to crime against which the gov­
ernment has begun such successful cam­
paign in the obliteration of numerous pub­
lic enemies. Hauptmann, whose guilt was
so emphasized by a mountain of evidence
which he could not surmount, has been
made the subject of mollycoddling by the
ever present sob sisters, whose sentimen­
tality overshadow average common sense.
If England had Hauptmann, his body
would have already been dangling from the
end of a rope. If France had found him
guilty, the axman would have completed a
decapitating operation days ago. The same
treatment would have been his in Ger­
many. The same in Russia, but a “sym­
pathetic” public goes far in aiding a man
who has all but admitted his guilt.
And the American public wonders
why crime is so rampant. They make a
veritable three-ring circus out of a killer’s
trial. They aid his case by misdirected
sympathies and thwart justice by listen­
ing to his plea for funds. In New Jersey
the commonwealth is financing his appeal,
which entails the writing of a transcript
of testimony 7247 pages long, containing
one million five hundred thousand words.
This item alone entails a cost of over
$20,000.
The public is forgetful. When Haupt­
mann is executed, if he ever is, much of
the heiniousness of his crime will have
been forgotten. The lifeless body of a help­
less baby will be in the background. Soft­
hearted women and chicken-hearted men
will decry his death and before society ex­
acts payment for his debt, they will write
letters to him, send him tokens, money,
dedicate poems to him.
And then they will continue to won­
der why crime goes on, exacting a toll of
14 billions of dollars a year from the
American people. For an answer they
would not have to look far.—Medford News
