TOO MANY MURDERS.
TOO MUCH "MERCY -
Says Judge T. A. Parker
In Ware County.
Waycross, Ga., Slay 17.—Judge T.
A. Parker in his charge to the Ware
county grand Jury yesterday spoke if
a general condition throughout the
United States that shows an almost ut
ter disregard for life. “Take the imag
inary line that divides the United
States and Canada," said he, “cross
that line, and as soon as you are in
Canada you will find a greater per
centage of convictions In murder
cases, and a lesser percentage of
murders. For such a condition there
Is but ono answer. It comes through
tbo fact thtat we are not enforcing
our laws..
“The trouble comes through laxity
of enforcement and too many technl
entitles. There Is too much delay, and
too much building up of maudlin sea
timent nbouo mercy, allowing crimin
als to go free.”
With reference to the enforcement
of the state prohibition law Judge
Parker said that the grand Jury should
remember ln Its Investigations that
anything ttttt brings a drunk comes
under this law.
"I don't care whether It la bitters,
or a stomach medicine, or what kind
or ola or ale," said he, "If It makes
drunk come It should not be sold."
Pistol "toting” came ln for a share
of the remarks. In this connection be
said that tlfe law ihonld apply more
strictly to men of prominence than
to the outcast and others who had
not the advantage of knowing between
right and wrong. This, he explained,
was contrary to what many thought
ought to be the case. He spoke of
gambling, and said the term applied
with equal force to poker playing t>y
