The wit nesses against him are privileged to at tribute to him whatsoever conversation or action they may |l©s*©. and he can not refute It. They may swear his life away, and he cannot even raise his voice In protest. Is ’hat American justice? Is that fhe sort of thing that Is contem plated In our bill of rights? It may b© that Youtsey is shamming If so. no conclusive evidence to that ef fect has ever been presented to the court, on the other hind, there has been great deal of evidence going to show I that hi# unconscious condition Is not as suin©l but real The law throws many i-af* guards around one's liberty svl life, it may be that we are mistaken, hut at this distance It does not look as If Yout sey w. re being given the benefit of those up much longer the public mind will be gin to turn to the opinion that it ts s f*©rse utkm find not a prosecution that ts being conducted a* Georgetown Ky.
