'Jhoy were indicted on I be charge of murder, and the great trial has followed. The ca-e was removed to Denver and there it has , been fought by the ablest legal talent in the Jlute. After the tiial was first under way a juror sickeiieil and the panel had to be discharged. This nee-sauted a repetition repe-tition of the tedious work of securing a j'iry and has further lengthened tlio ca c. The court room 1ms daily b.eu packed with morlidly curious crowds, and the n e.w. -papers have devoted paiei to minute min-ute re ports of the proceedings. The j trial has been the ruling subject of interest in-terest in the city, all classes following its various atages with the greatest attention. lu view of tne fact that this centering of public interest for mouths in a great poisoning case has led to the commission commis-sion of a great number of similar cri sin the community affected, one may well ask if wo uru not on a false basis in reference to these ma'lers if the metliotN of administering adminis-tering justice are not calculated to create cre-ate a false sentiment in weak minds and tuns lead to the swelling of the criminal record. The manner in which poison might bn (.eeretly administered, and tin! diiliciilty of detecting it have I been daily illustrated. The accused J persona have becu lauded by their attorneys, at-torneys, while throughout the enliru trial there has been a certain indirect clfort to justify tlt! pujiuing of Avkuv, it hi! ni killed, 011 the grouud that he had been tyrannical with his wife. It is not dillicult to discover the source from which the dangerous charters char-ters of the case have sprung. The nttnr-I nttnr-I ncyshave been engaged in a struggle to I warp the minds of tho juron. l'lain, matter of fact evidence lias not been sullicieut, ami every possible card has been turned to make the most of each point in influencing the jury. The horror hor-ror of crime has been discounted and possible murderers have been justilied iu advan?e. The sternness of justice has becu relaxed ami the crime of murder mur-der has been painted with tempering colors. The trial (and in tlift respect it is not by any menus an execptio:)) has degenerated from a cool imjuiry regarding re-garding an alleged crime to au exhibition exhibi-tion of legal jugglery with the jury as the audience to be alluded. There are many people) who bulinve that tho tune has coma when the potit jury Hhotil'l be tlisjii'iisinil with, htibstiltiliiig therefor trial hv a bench of jinlgi's; ami us one contemplates tint evil elTecIs that have lloweil from this Denver cise he cannot escape tho conclusion con-clusion that public, interests would havo been served far better if such a systtm had been ill force. The legal sparring to liofuihlli! tho jury wouid not fiavo been iudtilcjed in. The evidence) would haye been Riibiuilteil plainly and straightforwardly, aud the ell'orN to play upon prejudice and excite sympathy sympa-thy would not have been witnessed. The case w ould have been concluded in les time than was consumed iu securing secur-ing a jury, and the public would havo witnessed nothing more than a direct, impartial investigation of a grave charge. It would have becu useless for the attorney to quibble over technicalities, nince they would have know u that they could not make a false impression upon the judicial minds sitting sit-ting iu judgment. The famous trial would have been stripped ef all its dangerous features aud we would not have been presented with a long list of poisonings growing out of its elfect upon the people.
