Show Tim MCOV CASE The conviction of Dr William McCoy of malpractice committed upon the person of Eveline Bonnett of Provo is a matter of congratulation A crime was committed against this girl and to hide the evidences of it this man McCoy committed malpractice upon her which resulted in her death McCoy Mc-Coy knew that the crime had been committed against her and yet he was perfectly willing to commit another crime against her and the laws of the state That this is his first crime of this kind Is altogether improbable But at last the law has found him out and convicted him and today its sentence will be imposed upon him What that sentence shall be the court before whom he was tried will in Its wisdom say but the sentiment of the whole people is such that if the court shall Impose the heaviest penalty provided by the law they will with one voice say Amen The case of the Bonnett girl was avery a-very sad one She seems to have been the victim of about as bad a lot of men as ever went unhung and it Is a matter of great regret that some who were connected with it were allowed togo to-go scot free Perhaps It was Inevitable that they should go free but It Is just such a miscarriage of justice that sense of justice that is in the heart of man which tells him what Is right and what is wrong that too often invokes lynch law to avenge an outraged community com-munity and seems to make lynch law excusable if not justifiable Again we say that the conviction pf McCoy is a matter of congratulation |
