"THE LAW'S DELAYS."
Eight years ago. Albert T. Pat
rick. a New York lawyer, was convic
ted of killing William Kice, an aged
millionaire, and sentenced to death
in the electric chair. The date of his
execution was set and it looked as if
the final word had been written.
Hut Patrick had not studied law for
uothing. Conducting his own case he
interposed objections and asked for
a new triaL This was denied, but
the execution had to be deferred
while the court took the motion uude
advisement. Again the date of exe
cution was set and again Patrick ob
tained a postponement by filing mo
tions for a stay of execution and a
new trial.
Not twice did this happen, but 19
times. Patrick exhausted every re
source of the law. but every time his
objections were legal, and at last de
spairing of ever executing him, the
authorities had his sentence com
iuu:' I t<> life imprisonment. Bven
this did not satisfy the prisoner and
now for the ^?d time he has a mo
tion asking for a new trial before the
superior courts.
One cannot but admire the fight
that Patrick has waged; instinctively
every ones sympathy will go out to
the man who has so long sucoessfully
defied tin* machinery of the law. The
moral of the matter is this, however;
either I'atriuk is guilty or innocent.
1 1<- was fouud guilty and he should
have been hanged or Imprisoned for
lif without it being possible for him
to constantly foil the decrees of the
courts. What Patrick has done other
can do. by the aid of shrewd lawyers.
It is just this thing that makes our
laws contemptuously looked upon.
The Patrick case would not be pos
sible in England or Germany. There
they acquit a man or enforce his -un
ishmeut without any farther legal
jockeying.
It is different here. Shakespeare
had prophetic insight when he spoke
of "the laws delays."
CALE NAMED HOGGATT
"I wish to say that if the governor
of Alaska stayed iu the territory and
attended to the executive duties of
his office iustead of coming down here
and being a lobbyist and fighting and
opposing every measure that the del
egate from Alaska proposes, whom
the people of Alaska elected to come
down here and speak for them, be
would be thought a great deal more
of and not be held in such disrepute
iu the territory as he now is. (Ap
.plause.j
He has come down here and simp
ly settled down as a third-grade lob
byist. (Laughter and applause.;
Now the reason I oppose the in
crease in this appropriation is from
the fact that instead of placing J3,000
in the hands of a man who has al
ways misrepresented and maligned th3
people of Alaska you are placing $10,
WO in his hands and 1 am opposed to
it. ? Extract from the speech made
by Thomas Cale in congress on Feb.
-B in opposition to a $10,000 appropri
ation for t he protection of Alaska
