The Albany Herald commenting
on Georgia courts expresses tho fol

cerely hope the time will never come
when Georgia courts will require as
much time lor the trial of murder
cases as is necessary for their dispo
sition in some other states, notably
New York. The justice longest
drawn out is not necessarily the tru
est justice, ami the Georgia article
seems to stand the test with entire
satisfaction. A few trials like those
of Patrick and Molineux would
plunge the average Georgia county
into hopeless bankruptcy.
